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

I got it Thursday afternoon and took a quick trip with the wife. Drove about ~280 miles and didn’t need to fill up. Lots of hills, some traffic, speeding up to 85, and I carry a lot of extra weight.

For me the trippy part was how smooth the shifting.
Again, just after about 2 days though.

 

Got my rsg sliders installed last night at 2a.m. And today just ordered my method 703 matte black wrapped in Mickey Thompson’s Baja boss should be here next week

 

I had to look this up originally myself
I think it flashes the ecu, essentially
“Overland Torque Tune" is one of the smoothest custom tunes available today with specific attention paid to those areas that produce more low and mid-range Torque along with top end performance”

 

So first time buying chemical guys tire shine last night, today we put the kiddos for a nap, I pull up the 4R to hand wash on my tiny driveway made for ants, rip n buy a pack of bud light - maybe first time ever (I think playdixie told me they’re one of his favorites)…
and the damn hose connector blows up in my face 1 minute into rinsing the truck.

I’m using the sliders to eat chips&salsa instead. That was my last hose.

 

Well, at least you had snacks!

I washed mine this afternoon, with some Chemical Guys Honeydew foam stuff. It came out well, but I still have some water spots on the roof despite my efforts to rinse well. Grr. Nothing like a good hand washing to help a fella find the rock chips. Also grr.

I also got the AVS Aeroskin installed.

 

TRD cold air intake. Mostly because it cleans up the engine bay and looks cool, but it gives the engine a little bit of an intake growl driving around town. BAM Wholesale comes through again! I ordered the wrong filters, so I’m just running the original air filter for now. I used the MAF extension wire so I didn’t have to mess with the wiring harness.

 

Installed the CaliRaised cat shield. Two washers short, replacing a 14mm bolt with 9/16’s, and the rubber grommet doesn’t line up where it is supposed to. Other than that, not bad.

 

Wash day . Can’t wait to dump the silver bumper valences .

 

Weather tech bug+stone guard installed

 

What will you do with them? I've been tempted to have mine wrapped in black or a dark gray, but I'm not sure whether that's the right way to go.

64mech: the fang lights look good. Did those come from AJC, or someone else? Happy with them?

 

I got the fang lights from 4runnerlifestyle.com. I am happy with them, although in hindsight I wish I would have got the triple light version. Nothing wrong with these though. I just think the triple would look better.

 

Thank you. I've been looking at those.
Having a new 4Runner brings WAY too many opportunities to spend money, haha!

 

Beer and chips/salsa always a good choice @djwantke.

 

And it does.

 

No kidding! I got a feeling I’ll end up spending more on upgrades than I did buying the damn thing! Funny thing I’ve never been one to modify a vehicle, but there is so much cool stuff available for this rig!

 

You drink Bud Light?

 

I’d rather lick the south end of a north bound mule than drink bud light!

 

LOL keep going, let me have it

I’ve never bought it before today, except for at Seahawks and Mariners games..

 

I bought the factory black ones during that 25% off sale that Toyota had a couple of weeks ago . It was actually 35% off because my dealer had them discounted 10% already.
Just waiting for cooler weather to put them on .

 

washed wheels and sliders

 

Doesn't taste horrible, but is essentially beer flavored water. Like Coors Light.
Of course there is then all the silly "social" bs attached to it which is in my view lame and not helpful.
To each his own and you could likely drink a case of it before the alcohol cause you to make a mistake working on the truck.

 

Ok dylantke, jk, but more importantly, why light beer?

I hope Toyota doesn’t go the way of Budweiser, Tractor Supply, John Deere, Lowes, Harley Davidson and more.

 

You mean warshed it.

 

I'm just here to brag about HOW MUCH I save when I gas up my SloRunner. Thanks to very low gas prices (I think Texas has the lowest prices in the nation?) + my Kroger reward card:

 

Interesting. Kroger only lets us use $1.00 at a time. We have to go back a second time within the month to use the rest.

 

My Kroger only lets me use $1.00 at a time, but when I pay with my Kroger Mastercard, they add on another .25 So I get $1.25

 

bud Lite?

 

Is that a Yakima Megawarrior basket?
