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

My experience with the wildpeaks is they get louder over time. They almost sound like a mud tire on the highway and are a bitch to balance. Leaving me looking for new rubber again. They have plenty of tread just to loud. I hear great things about the Mickey T's, have seen some crazy weight listed on some of the online tire sources.

 

I've heard the Mickey's are quieter, too. Stock size they are 2 lbs lighter than the Wildpeaks, 44 vs 46 lbs.

 

We might try the Cooper st Maxx next time. My Tacoma buddy has been really happy with his. Sounds like the KO3's are taking a ton of weight to balance just like the KO2's did

 

Vacuumed the interior! Pretty exciting!

 

You’ll love them!

 

Installed new cabin filter and changed out my TRD oiled engine filter for a Wix filter. Noticed there was a gap around the filter housing with both the TRD filter and Wix filter, so I think this is normal but I would prefer the two halves of the filter housing to fit snugly together.

 

Max’s aren’t 3pms rated though… snowy conditions, but yes… hella good tire!

 

Upgraded audio system. Plenty of pop now. Sounds great.

Grats dude. That's always fun. Makes a huge difference.

 

How difficult was it to install that amp?

 

You nailed it. $5k ballpark with a ceramic coat.

 

Last 2 days had to clean it up from all the snow and shit they put down in the roads.

 

Not too bad. Took about half day (4hrs) with the snaking and such. I am not that electricaly inclined but after 20+ years of DIY I am handy enough to figure stuff out and not break it. I am sure more skilled could get it done faster, plus I did all my adapter wiring day before in the house.

I purchased the LOC cable adapter, 17ft extension and amp kits from crutchfield. More money but just simplified the whole process. I ended up having to mount amp under driver seat - it won’t fit behind dash of Sr5P. So snaked cable down and above pedals then under door panel; probably could have trimmed 5-7ft off that extension cabling. The amp power thru firewall tricky but fortunately I already went thru that with my raptor lights. TacoTunes YT vid very helpful. The amp’s autotune feature cool and helpful. I used to stream Bluetooth with headunit volume at 35-40ish and now my ears bleed at about 25, but bass and sound quality night and day!

 

Drove mine 800 miles to see family for the holidays.

 

Took advantage of the warm weather and gave the TuRD a much needed bath. Unfortunately still a bit to chilly for a full detail and coating.

 

I put in an Arkon tablet mount, glovebox organizer and AVS stick-on wind deflectors.

Also put in an order to get the front shocks replaced with Bilstein 4600's so that'll probably happen in the coming weeks.

 

I drove my 2024 Limited (I just got it last week, used but new to me, with only 1031 miles on it) down to Prescott, AZ to do some shopping. I big truck coming the other way kicked up a rock and put a rock chip in the pristine windshield. At least my truck's first damage is pretty minor and my insurance will cover fixing the rock chip...

 

It’s broken in now, take it off road.

 

Took the SR5 to the gun store! Grabbed a couple mags and bronze brush!

 

Not really related but am going Saturday to a local, larger, Shop in my region to pick up my Christmas present.

 

At least this will only happen every few months.

 

Today I learned AVS and Weathertech hood deflectors are the same product. Good thing I ordered the cheaper AVS one...

 

Did you mean days instead of months? These windshields are rock magnets.

 

I must have been incredibly lucky then, my 2013 made it 11 years with the original windshield with only one small rock chip that never spread.

 

Got to drive in some snow for 6 mos blood & work exercised 4Hi Now hope we get enough to get the ATV out to plow some driveways & sidewalks too!!

 

Only 1031 miles. Did they say why the owner traded it in or sold it so early?

 

Seat risers, should have done them years ago. Got adjustment back.

 

Man these are the bomb. Makes it way more comfortable, especially on long trips.

 

Sherpa Crestone installed. What an extremely well made rack. Simple installation, also. Highly recommend.

 

Looks great. Very high on my list of things to do.
