What have you done to your 5th Gen 4Runner today?

What jack setup are you guys using for the tire rotation?

 

Here's a light mod idea if you don't like to remove the bumper ‐

I TOTALLY is gambling but in a good way! Hahah!

 

I use a Harbor Freight Badlands floor lift and jackstands from Advance Auto Parts.

 

Changed the oil n filter and greased the driveshaft! All done n enjoying a Cherry Pepsi sittin in my lawn chair with temps of 78deg!

 

LOL
Thank you sir

 

Could tailgate lights be mounted where the removable plastic hand holds are at the bottom edge of the tailgate? Plug and play?

 

The hand hold holes are vents?

 

Easy to install easy to remove.

Oops, those are just ridges in there, not vents.

 

wash & detail

 

Ahh I see, all good. Now my mind is picturing that you could add lights there I don’t use those ridges.
I don’t need a 15th light !

 

Check Etsy. I think someone makes a housing that will accommodate a light for the hand hold y’all are talking about.

 

This is what it is.

 

No, but they pop out that easy for cleaning. Took me years to figure that out. The mechanic who showed me the drain wholes didn't even mention them as an access point.

 

Got handful of slammers from the hardware store and jacked the seat of a quarter inch. Turns out the Taco Tune seat brackets need to be modified a little as the pegs that stick down from the seat brackets hit and makes stuff not line up. Additionally, when you lift the seats up 1/4 inch, they don't line up well and i needed to take a Dremel and oval out the front holes in the seat brackets. The problem I ended up having is that between the Taco Tune amp brackets and my Pogs, I couldn't see that the holes couldn't align and i stripped 2 bolts and the threads in one hole but luckily i was able to fix it with a tap and it wasn't completed fucked so I got to keep it the same thread pitch. Should be more careful.

Pics below of that.

But everything is in and the install is done. I've messed with the EQ on the Keenwood Excelon Reference DMX1057XR and it sounds really amazing. Very happy I did this and very, very happy to be done with it. Going to evaluate this head unit as it moves around a bit with bumps in the road and I like to go 4x4'ing so it probably wont work out but we'll see. Also decided I'm going to take it to an audio shop to tune the DSP's. It will take me a long time to figure out and I'm sure they will do a better job.

This is not all inclusive but want to say thank to the follwoing people for some very quick replies to some questions I had while I was working on this project, mostly - "where does this little piece go?" kinda stuff. Huge thanks guys, and to this forum

some stuff I did today:

 

That is some total legit!

I feel as if pogs n slammers is gonna get misconstrued n become the new mod…
“What size slammers do you run?”
“Which pog deflector for 25’ pro?”

Last elementary post of the night
I even had the spinning slammers

@Thacrow
Looks awesome
Dreading the day I decide to update my stereo but ripping apart the truck for the front/mid/rear power has taught me a thing or two as well I know how to navigate the “pulling that thing off” approach to dissecting this truck

but I totally hear you with “Veryhappy I did this and very, veryhappy to be done with it.”

let’s just see what happens!

 

I ordered a set of these bumper bolt covers in black to match the bumper color and I’m very pleased with them. Very nicely designed for fit and function. And they look great. I’m hoping they will keep out most fine dirt and sand. Or at least cover it up. Thanks for posting this link to the Esty product.

 

You are going to love this head unit. I have been running it for the past 6 months and each day it puts a smile on my face for both sound quality and ease of use/functionality.

 

Do you have a more detailed write up on this? It could be the coolest thing I've seen!

 

Paid off my 23' 4R today.. damn that's a good feeling.

 

When you go to the audio shop it may be worth having them look at the head unit mounting. I told my audio shop i would be doing some off roading so they secured my Kenwood DMX unit even better. Totally fine for off roading.

Have fun with that head unit. Its truly amazing and does so much!

 

are these Nomad wheels?

 

Thats a really good idea thank you. I was thinking...and this is crazy...to take the plastic metra mounts to a fab shop and have them make the same thing out of metal

 

congrats dude that's awesome!!!!
