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

I never tow with my 4R...but I do need to access the roof a lot. To that end, I keep one of these in the hitch receiver:

 

Lmfao!

 

I'd seen that four-way log-splitter looking device before. I'd definitely back way off from that other thing!

 

Have you checked the dipstick yet?

Is it dirtier than normal?

 

I haven’t checked.

 

Finally installed a real dashcam instead of using an old GoPro. Bought a mirror power adapter to make installing easier. I just have to figure out where I'm mounting the rear camera.

 

We need a link.

Thanks but I meant a link to the welded steel one in the above pic .

 

The one I posted? It’s just one I saw long ago online, guy also made one that is just a literal spike sticking out of the hitch, looked to be about 10 inches long, iron or steel, couldn’t find a pic of it though.

 

Last picture before leaving Fork. This sign was outside the cabin we stayed at.

 

Picked up some oil filters this week and changed the oil this morning. I also retapped and recut the threads on my stripped skid plate bolts. I'm looking to swap out the mounting points with rivnuts and stainless bolts of some kind. Biggest pain every time I take the damn plate off is those chintzy bolts.

 

Did brake pads replacement on all 4 corners after we got back from forks. 67k miles. Went with powerstop. Easiest brakes ice done so far. The hardest part was lifting the front end. Went ahead and bled the brakes while I was there and topped of fluids. Also cleaned maf sensor and throttle body. Ready for the next road trip.

 

Looks like this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C137T2FL?smid=A3EE7AP54XMSV&th=1

 

Thanks !

 

Washed it yesterday and now parked in garage til at least Wednesday. Not going out in this snow!

 

I’m 100% copying your bash bar, hoops, and splash guard design !

 

I own an identical tri-ball/hook hitch. Haven’t ran it in a little while but that picture of the Camaro was what I was hoping someone would do, or worse

 

Wanted to add more info and photos. Got this dashcam for Xmas. I think it was a Black Friday special for $100. It's a NextBase 320XR. From the driver's view, can't really see the dashcam behind the mirror. It doesn't have GPS or Wi-Fi, but the SD Card is easily accessible. It has a strong magnetic base to detach the camera to review footage or adjust settings. Also has a parking mode in case anyone hits the vehicle while parked. I bought this adapter to power it from the mirror. I'm going to wait for a warmer day to install the rear camera.

Following for the rear camera. I just put the Dongar 7 pin type B adapter in my 2019. Wanting to run the rear camera up through the headliner if possible.

 

Take (and post) pics as you work through that process, please and thank you.

 

Added the rear seat back protectors on.

Was going to apply the screen protector over the stereo but fit was wrong. Back to research to see which one fits well.

 

This one fits mine perfectly.

drove the runner to
-liquor store to top up whisky supply
(10 year aged Canadian)
-pizza shop for lunch for the fam, got the most Canadian box ever
-investigating a noticeable rattle that occurs only in reverse…I suspect related to the recent skid plate kit re-install. fml. better just be that.

 

ARB skid plates? Mine does the same in just reverse. You’ll need to add a spacer in the rear where there’s contact with the exhaust.

 

That’s so funny, I just added washers
Durrr

 

Add more !

 

fixed the cheeky little bugger

 

Couldn’t stand the rattle of the Safe Jack extensions in the metal ammo case any longer. The bottle jack was slowly leaking oil as well - it has to lay on its side to fit in the provided ammo box. So I repurposed a pelican ammo box and some of their Pick and Pluck foam. Now the jack sits upright, and it’s silent! The pelican case does take up ~50% more space though.

 

Nice! I still need to do mine.
