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

oh it’s waaaay down the road and I’m gonna regear when I add my lockers. Gonna just do everything at once since I’ll have her opened up. I love my 35’s tho couldn’t wait. Lol

 

Yeah it’s a 1-1/4" drivers front spacer and a 3/4" passenger front spacer and is the best option for a mild lift and the needed front end lean correction & gives me a 3” overall lift.

 

Changed oil and filter at 5250 miles interval. OEM filter, but swapped the oil to Valvoline Max Life this time from the usual Mobil 1 high mileage I have been using for last 80000 miles. Greasing the slip yoke and spider joints next, maybe next week.

 

Whipped up a 3d printed paper towel holder to fit the Cali Raised Molle.

 

Well, I see palm trees, so maybe Florida? There are flights leaving St. Louis every day.

 

O’ahu, Hawaii.

 

Falken Rubitrek A/T 265/70/17

 

Installed matte black Yota X letter-less grill to match the valance I swapped in last week.

 

All right, I'll sacrifice and come to Hawaii and drive your truck. Let me know when it works for you.

 

Is it lifted or leveled? You're running 1.5" spacers as well? KSP? How have they held up?

Drove the 2011 to pickup new eye glasses from my son-in-law. He's an eye doctor

 

Installed True North recovery points this morning.

As received:


All painted up:


On the truck:

 

Need to add those to my list of wanted mods. ARGH: Edited to add not compatible with KDSS.

 

Apex Overland has a very similar design and a KDSS option as well.

Currently sold out but I'm sure you can check with them for next availability...
Also pricier, but that's what you get with your fancy schmancy suspension.

 

This is confusing to me.

I thought all recovery points had to be red??

 

Red?
You mean like this?

 

Added some light to the cargo area. KC Cyclone Diffused White with a toggle switchplate

 

Thanks, they are actually fairly close to me here in NC. I just need to confirm whether those will work or not if I switch to the Talons Garage skids as they are much wider than my RCI skids (I have KDSS). Thanks.

 

Greased the slip yokes and the spider joints. I try doing them at every oil change but at least once a year.
Lucas red n tacky for both. Used the lock n lube coupler.
I need a pair of ramps. Doing it with front wheels on the curb is a pain and messy.

 

Got a link to the Lucas grease? I need to do this also...

 

Any brick and mortar store will have this. Even walmart.
Brand- Lucas. Product- red n tacky NLGI 2.

 

At a quick glance I think you'll be OK.
I looked at a pic on Talon's of the front skid and it appears to extend out just about to the factory tie downs and you can see in my final pic that these are certainly outboard of the factory tie downs. Of course you'll want to verify.

 

Got it, thanks.

 

Gassed up the SR5P this morning!

 

check out this info and photos for KDSS. my ARB skids were off, you can zoom in and see how much space the Apex’s take up. goodluck

 

for what year? Cost? Easy or hard to install? Thx

 

For all years of 4th and 5th gen 4runner but NOT for KDSS. There is a separate product for that.
$139 raw steel $229 powder coated
Plus tax. Mine totaled up to $143.
Easy install but some clumsy moments here and there.

 

They don't look very soft shackle friendly

 

My expectation is to use them for towing d-rings and go from there.
