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

Then there's the difference between aerodynamic drag between a single and double trailer configuration...also, if the rig is fully skirted or not. Fact: get close enough and you could actually help the rig's mpg (as well as yours.)

 

Finishing up the addition of a signal booster!

 

4Runners rotors are finally shot at 60k. Went ahead and ordered R1 Concepts slotted/drilled rotors and pads. I had really good luck with them on the GX460 and Tundra.

 

Let us know if the braking is any better. My wife's Rav4 Hybrid has very touchy brakes, the 4runner, not so much.

 

Is that right eh, but the tubing has to weld to frame, no?

 

.
...^^^... I am going to try these ... been looking for them ... thanks

 

Lowering the amount of surface area of the brake rotor won't increase performance. Changing pads can help. Fluid and lines can help with performance and pedal feel, but I doubt anyone is getting the brakes hot enough on a 4R to induce fade.

 

Saw someone post these a few months back, and finally bought off Amazon. Easy peasy to install.

 

Will do. They were night and day difference in performance on both the GX460 and Tundra. Really good bite. Shit I’ve locked up the brakes several times in an emergency.

The pads on the Tundra definitely wore out quicker but that’s due to heavy towing and 37s don’t help haha.

 

got all photos to work this time

 

I'd make it bolt on. If it was me I'd remove the hitch. Use where the hitch bolts on to bolt the tube bumper on and have a hitch receiver welded to the tube bumper. It won't be "cheap" but it'll be cheaper then the aftermarket rear bumpers. I'd also chop the exhaust right behind the rear axle.

 

That's my point. But everything has to be discredited here for safety. Ironic, considering we drive off-road vehicles. And yes, I love my pew pews too, fellas.

 

Agreed, but I was getting some residual benefit.

 

Just got mine a couple of weeks ago so just some basic amenities so far...

Removed the Carmax tags and hatch sticker
Installed new license plate cover
LED light kit for interior and license plate.... stock halogens are almost useless. I have a NightShade with tinted windows and all black interior, so I needed more light from the inside to see anything.
Wireless charger pad for center console armrest cubby
OEM floor mats - It's a 2019 and came with generic auto parts store mats - how do these go missing on a such a new car? Same with keys, I only got one key from a 2019... (shrug)

 

I need good license plate LED lights. Got interior from Amazon not sure where to get the plates one. Any recommendation? Are you happy with yours?

 

Hard plastic stick on or vinyl sticker? Link?

 

I bought this kit that came with everything - IIRC, the license plate bulbs are the same big ones that go in the dome lights etc

This may upset a few but I traded my 24 trdpro in for the Land Cruiser. I was filled with regret as I walked to the Land cruiser. Then I got in and drove away and all my thoughts about how much I would miss the PRO vanished instantly when I hit the gas and found that with 465 ft lbs of torque I can actually pass now. The disconnecting sway bar is another plus.

 

your stay here was too short! I'd follow you to convince you to stay, but I drive a 5th gen 4R

 

At least you stayed with Toyota.

 

...^^^... Been looking for these and just ordered it also ...

 

It's put on there something similar to 3M tape. And it's aluminum alloy.

I’m listening!
Dude thanks for this

 

Thanks.

 

Cruised across the state smiling cause I was getting 18 MPG the entire way.

 

Agree on exhaust chop. I chopped mine right after it looped over the axle. Does the spare show too much now? Stick it on the roof?

 

Good call, ya man the exhaust is quite vulnerable. Pains me, because I already chopped the pipe once the first time when I installed the MBRP tip. Certainly now is not the time to stop the chopping!

So tonight I’ve bought the hardware and am relocating the reverse light pods up to the crossmember.

As for spare tire, it’s full a full-size LT tire, and ya it shows more than ever. I run an onboard tire pump and an emergency box with flat repair - so sometimes I ditch the spare for aesthetics. If I go wheeling maybe the tire on the roof ya

 

I've mud flap deleted my last two 4runners and I haven't noticed any issues at all with the rear paint.

 

Dito. And my rocker panels look fine after 1-2 years without front mudguards
