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

So from 2010 - 2013 the only model without the lever was the Limited?

 

Upgraded to the Scangauge 3.

 

That looks great. Did you have to do any special programming to get the tire pressures to display?

 

Unlike the older model, it is all automatic via menus. Find Toyota, save all, select what info you want displayed. You can still input items the old way using the codes if something isn't listed, but i didn't need to.

 

buying new skid plate kit bolts, a car door step, and mudflaps to test out, at my favourite store Princess Auto. fresh pot of cofffee

 

Swapped from CTH to Morimoto mirror signals. This is a screenshot of a video but the entire lens lights up.

 

Used it to take wife to Texas Roadhouse for dinner.

Yep. And no pesky secondary air injection system.

Did you also get an eBay skid with four shanked bolts of the same length? The rear holes are fully threaded - I had to run a thread chaser through mine.

 

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuude, now you've got me craving their rolls, and CINNAMON butta'!

 

Factory Toyota TRD skid .

 

nice. Whats the weight capacity on that step?

 

got one mudflap lookin good before the wife dragged me inside

 

thx bud, umm.. 180kg/396lbs

 

Don't worry about it! You'll tweak the door latch well before exceeding the step's weight capacity

 

awesome thx!

 

Was it an easy install? What yr is your 4R? I’m wondering how it pulls tire pressure readings. Ive been looking for something to display tire pressure in my ‘19.

 

It just connects to the OBDII plug, my install is custom but it comes with different mounting options. The "TuRD is 2018. The scangauge 2 can read tire pressure, but needs to be programmed to do so.

 

So a question for all the soothsayers on here:

I was poking around the Rough Country website just to kill time at work, saw this item:

https://www.roughcountry.com/product/speedometer-calibrator-90049

I've never used one of these before, but I'm curious if anyone else has. My main question is does the speedometer have to be removed or not? Couple vids I saw for the Tacos seem to suggest the speedometer has to be taken out. It's not something I'm afraid to do, but again, just curious. I know there are other makes out there (i.e. Hyperlink).

And if you curious about digital clusters, saw this in my rabbit hole searches:

https://www.ullgo.com/lcd-instrumen...virtual-cockpit-speedometer-digital-dashboard

 

Mt 13 SR5 had the dial, not the lever.

 

The RC and Hypertech dongles are the same product. You connect the dongle to a laptop to program the dongle, and the laptop software is the same. Buy whichever is cheaper. The dongle plugs into the back of the gauge cluster, so yes it has to come out. Removing the gauge cluster is fairly easy (and it's a good skill to practice for replacing the easily-scratched plexiglas...):



Speedometer calibration is only needed for 35" and larger tires. Are you running 35s already?

The full-LCD digital clusters are like cheap tablets - they work 90% of the time. Support is effectively nonexistent, because both the hardware and software are developed in China. The distributors in North America can only do replacements.

 

Currently in Houlton, Maine having the 4Runner 100k service completed before returning home (for Thanksgiving, I am told). https://www.4runners.com/threads/5th-gen-4runners-in-scenic-locations.7967/page-146#post-662965

Had some new tires installed. Mickey Thompson Baja Boss ATs 265/70/17 Load E.

 

nice hows the ride and hwy noise?

 

So far I am really enjoying the ride. The 4Runner almost feels smoother going over the bumps on my commute to work. Curious to see what the hit to my fuel mileage will be but so far I am very happy with the tires. I also don’t notice any difference in sound on the highway.

 

Those are 265s? They look great!

 

Dang, looks like that was a big misconception of ours you just torpedoed!

These or Duratracs will be replacing the G2s on my PRO shortly. Let me know how you like them in the snow (if you get any).
