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

I replaced the stock roof rack wit a Sherpa.
I removed the side runners.
I also got some new sneakers for her!
I am going up to ride logging roads in June.
But just so you know I still have the original tires and runners and will put them on when I want too.

 

For a mid-sized SUV, I was surprised at the leg room. But Honda needs to learn from the RAV4 as to how to fit in a spare tire even with the hybrid battery there.

 

Picked up some Stella Artois to go along with my smoked 7 lb chicken.

 

If you want it to connect to the app on your phone you must first tell your phone to connect to the FitCam wifi. The default name is something like: LHD_randomletters and numbers. The password by default is 12345678.

The FitCam Wifi ONLY runs when the camera is running. So the 4Runner has to be running.

THEN you can connect to the app. You have to do that everytime you want to view video's or make changes to settings. You can also pop the memory card out and view video's by inserting it into your laptop/pc.

 

good taste sir

 

That’s a deal breaker for me. I travel too far to have no spare. Does the non hybrid CRV have a spare tire?

 

Guess we’re not making a t-shirt this time….

IT IS THE SEASON

 

sunday with the kiddos:

 

Yeah once I got out of the garage & had better signal It connected.

 

so damn good. Ready for a nap. Lol!

 

man that was funny as shit!!

next time i do ribs i’ll give you guys something to play with!

 

Respect

 

No spare tire, just a tire repair kit.

 

What pillar light did you go with? Where did you buy it and how has it held up?

 

Wow. Gas is $197/litre in canada?!

 

Yes sir it went back up a little bit. BC is f*ked for prices of everything across the board.

 

$1.61/liter (approx $4.19US/gallon) at Costco in the BC interior. The part of BC Djwantke lives is generally the most expensive place for gas in Canada.

 

ELEVEN CENTS A GALLON!!!

Could you imagine if the US or Canada had prices like these? Granted, to get gas that cheap you have to live in a dangerous country.

 

I just paid $5.99/gal in central California (Sac O Tomatoes)

 

Took Photon on a little drive today, visited one of the best shops in NorCal if not the entire state. These guys do Toyotas like no one else can.



While there I had a great convo with Jessie (a very knowledgeable chap) who was kind enough to give me a shop tour.

SAS anyone? There were at least three rigs in various stages of getting set up, here’s one of them.


This 5th gen is getting some serious work done on it. Guess what size those tires in the back are.


Photon is begging for a set of these…


Will be coming back, Photon has a Drs appt next month…

 

tried to avoid some dumb lady backing out of a spot in a small parking lot...she clearly didnt see me even after i honked, so i put it in reverse and backed up kinda quick to avoid her and tagged a small pole that was behind me. it sounded really bad, but when i checked, it looks like i bounced off the corner of the bumper where there is a scuff and bumped the back panel. in the midst of my anger, i hit the back panel with my fist and it popped almost 100% back into place...luck of the effin irish on that one i guess.

picked up a mobile ham that ill add to the mounting list of crap i gotta install!

speaking of, does anyone have a thread for mounting a front dash cam? like can i tie into some power near/in the mirror?

TIA.

 

They came from Amazon. You can also find them on Ebay or Car Trim Home. They've held up really good for almost 2 years (doesn't seem that long lol).

 

I saw something on Tiktok (for whatever that is worth) saying gas prices are prob gonna go up a good bit. We're at the end use/dispense of the cold/winter blend. The summer blend is coming out and it cost more to make. Travel season isn't that far out. No speculation was given how much it would go up

 

How is it possibly more than double what it is here in MA? What is that extra $3 a gallon going to?

 

us Canadians, and Californians are told we have to pay “a price on pollution”.

 

and we have to like it

 

But who pockets the extra money?
