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

The fellas over at Tandem Offroad dialed in the alignment perfectly. The feel is 100x better with the Fox Pro setup and alignment. Very pleased.

Have a link or write up?

 

Put one of those fancy badges from taco vinyl on the truck. I'm on the fence about it. Maybe should have went with the heritage colors ‍♂️ Was trying to be slick lol.

 

Got my annual application of Krown done. One less thing to worry about before winter.

 

It does look slick. The black parallelogram sort of gets lost in the grille. Can just that one get a different color?

 

Yeah that's the issue. Gets lost in the grill. Was hoping it would be a shade or two lighter. May just paint it myself.

 

Not what I have done today but what I planned to do today.

Put my OEM mudflaps back on. However, for some reason I don't know what the heck I did with the front ones when I took them off. Typically OCD and save literally everything that comes off my vehicles, but no clue where these went. One more place to check tonight and then off to buy OEM ones somewhere I guess. Idiot...

Definitely should have listened to everyone and not removed them, especially living in New England but I had to live and learn I guess.

 

Spent a week using my 4WD on the beach.
Returned home to Florida and filled up the tank with no alcohol fuel, high test in preparation for the hurricane

 

Filled up with petro.

 

It's the little things

 

Did a rack delete over the weekend

 

I just added a mountain and trees decal to my 4Runner.

 

Hi Lori from Cheshire, I like those, I also like the flag decal, but the passenger side is always backwards.

 

The stars always are supposed to be forward... I have seen a lot that didn't adjust their decals. I made these for ours. (Technically distressed is also an issue)

 

Installed my raptor lights and Operation Mod Out TRD door light today

I was always taught the stars go to the left as you are looking at it therfore making it backwards on the right side

 

When the wind blows, the stars are always on the upwind side.

 

Can you give a bit more detail about those? I've been looking at their website and found 1) they're sold out right now, and 2) I still don't know exactly where that thing goes or how to install it. [Sort-of related: 3) my T4R is filthy inside right now, having spent time on a gravel road last week.]

 

They are actual filters to seal the cabin air pressure vents, which before as just flappy pieces of rubber that allo dust and dirt to blow back into your cabin. They are located on the left and right side behind the rear bumper. I've ran mine for 15k miles now and no dust in my back cabin at all!

Check out OE's install video to see where they go into https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Emq_WTKfevs

It is not backwards, picture you are riding a horse into battle and you look to your left, the flag would be flying on the battle standard the same way. Just a FYI. Blessings.

 

It's not being carried into battle, it's permanently placed on a window like it would be displayed on a wall.

 

Exactly correct. Only exception is on a vehicle or uniform when displayed on the right arm or side. The field should always be facing forward to the usual direction of travel in those cases.

 

I still believe this is correct.

 

If you look at a member of the Army, Air Force or Space Force, the flag will be on their right arm with the field on the upper right to the viewer, as if the flag is moving forward.



In reality, it’s everyone’s flag and due to the freedoms we enjoy can be flown in any manner one chooses…just “proper and respectful” ways of flying or displaying the flag.

 

Got it undercoated with Fluid Film last night. Drove to work this morning and chuckled at the burn off cloud around my 4R in the parking lot. I need to wash it soon because there is quite a bit of overspray on... everything.

Overall happy with the job for $180.

 

Another one for the LED bulb police
