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

hopefully not just booting around town with 4wd engaged? apparently hard on drivetrain if ur not on gravel/dirt/snow.
hope lunch was good!

^share the dents if you got photos!

 

I gotta be honest, prior to my hail damage I had never even heard of PDR. I did some looking around on the web and identified a guy that was well recommended. I called him and his wife told me the body shop in my area that he worked in. After that I called that body shop and talked to the boss who made me an appointment that was a time when the PDR guy could be there. Another thing that I never knew was that the people with that skill set travel quite a bit following storms and hail claims. In retrospect it makes sense. It’s not hailing everywhere all the time, thankfully. You can imagine my anxiety that he would be able to save my Solar Octane paint without having to match that color. Lo and behold, it was perfect. I hope you find someone that talented. Good luck!

 

Lunch was good. The road we were on was straight, no curves or turns.

 

Nice

I was doing that too, part gravel, but mostly old pavement, 50km/hr and under - but I’ve been reliably informed I really should be looking for gravel and dirt when looking to exercise 4wd. makes sense

 

cleaned mud off ext. & int. windows & seals proper with glass cleaner, I think the sand scratched my window a bit.
wiped dash trim w/ ArmoraAll multi-purp auto cleaner.
picked rocks, cleaned muddy floormat.
vac’d.



















^said to the wife


pumped tires in my driveway, back to 34 psi, from aired down @20-25 psi.

 

Got her dirty in some mud/snow

 

I like the style of the rubber mat. Is it a stock rubber mat or aftermarket? If it is a stock mat, would it fit in a 2020?

 

Built a leveling platform with a storage under it for my tools. Not a master carpenter, but I was able to succeed in my vision. Built it to carry large items flat without having to struggle it over the hump.

 

I frickin’ love these floormats buddy.
they’re actually factory mats, in Canada, 2016 Trail Edition.

 

I sold a part to a guy from Canada last year. Drove to Niagara, NY to meet him and to install the part for him. Your tax rules are crazy, he had to pay taxes on the part I sold him.

 

I don’t believe it

 

Only the exterior. Not the interior like you

 

Drove the '23 and the Mrs to church this am.....then grocery run after.......came home and parked 'er!

 

Dear @wingo:

I'm extremely jealous of your organizational abilities. Love the setup and how clean it all looks.

 

Drove the 4Runner to the Expo…

 

What's the 2nd picture Blue on ramps? Looks like a newer designed 4 door FJ .

 

Looks like a Land Cruiser

 

That's the new Land Cruiser in North America or "Prado 250" in the rest of the world

 

That's what I thought , just didn't look one up

 

Same drive train as 6th Gen 4Runner??

 

No, No, No, No, No....

Here's a video explaining how bad the internet hates the new Land Cruiser.

Didn't do a thing on the 4Runner today. Spent most of the day working on the bucket of bolts and screws called an RV!
