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

Thanks! did leds on the interior and have a rhino rack as well but had to take it off to wax the truck. Picked up a set of oem 17 inch rims for more aggressive tires a bit later. I am a little concerned about dipping around the fogs. Don't want to have to take the thing apart. Running boards... not sure what kind of durability Plasti Dip will have there..
Any advice is welcome

 

I got the 3014 fyrefly led interior package. They work great so far. No flickering or anything. These are the brighter ones that they offer, but they do offer a cheaper alternative as well....

The cheaper 5050 led package... You can even get these in different colors...

The 3014s are the perfect amount of light in my opinion... I dont think i personally would of been happy with the 5050s... My tacoma had meso LEDs and was CRAZY bright on the interior, even the 3014s arent quite as bright as what he made for the tacoma, but still more than enough light.

 

Two days of work and fabrication but it's done!

 

Just changed the oil and filter had a 5 qt jug of Mobil 1 got with rebate, picked up a 1 qt of walmart super tech and splashed in a little left over Quaker state to top it all off.

 

Coolio!!

 

My god man!! What an amazing trip. My wife and I have Alaska on the bucket list- now I wanna go even more so than before

 

Thanks! You gotta fly Denali, absolute highlight.

 

When I ever get around to making the trip, your collection of information and pics will be my bible fantastically documented

 

I know! I sent @MeefZah 's trip report to everyone. Thanks for sharing it Mark! Badass

 

Bought a few things for the 4Runner:

Test fitting the fridge and fridge slide:



C4 Fab dual jerry can holder:

 

Garage is finally done.

 

Ha, every so often I take a break from making sarcastic commentary and drop a nugget of awesome on this forum

Thanks!

 

Dam that's nice! You should make a build thread for it cuz it's going to be interesting to see what you do on the inside.

 

Put in oem LED fogs. They dont photograph well with a cell camera

 

Car trim sequential turn signals and Mesa puddle lights. First pic shows stock and car trim lights. Lost some more chrome

 

How was the install on the MESO's?

Any wire cutting/splicing?

 

Other forum someone commented on wiring and no way to secure it. Guessing they didn't install in completely because once in place it clips in and screws hold it tight. The wiring was easy, plenty of room up top to use the supplied connector high and dry.
Many have said the bottom mounting plate is not flush. Same here and had a slight gap. It was no big deal as its next to the drain hole but just the same used some black pipe wrap like silly putty and filled in the micro small gap.

 

Nice ForRun. I did the oem led and the blinkers as well this weekend. I did a reg led not Meso but still better then it was.

just went out side and for $124 the oem fog is really a must do for the price

the blinkers are a lot brighter I paid $64 ...Amazon has them now for $50

 

Just got back from a ride, with the fogs on.
I had the morimoto and now oem. They are both good but the morimoto has a tad more usable light. I'm thinking because it has a wider cast whereas the oem have a sharp cutoff and a narrow field of light. Look at the before after pics on the garage door. I'm happy with the oem as the morimoto blackout look (to me) looked odd in the daytime on a white 4runner.
Both are way better than stock halogen!

 

Dammm!!! now that' a garage!

 

Off-Grid Engineering Dual battery setup installed with Redarc DC to DC charger

Don't mind the dirty engine bay....didn't clean since last off roading trip

 

What have I DONE for our 5th Gen. Ignore the mess, it was a long weekend but I fixed some of my space and mobility issues for the RTT. When you lift one end, the third leg kicks out (gravity style) and locks into the lower frame so it sits flat and level. When you are ready to fold it up, you lift a little and kick the third leg in and it slides back and it folds up. Over engineered a bit but with this set up, but this paired with our pulley system in the rafters of the shop, my wife can load and unload the tent herself and move it around. It also puts the RTT at a good level to open and air out or clean.

 

Very Nice.! I've been thinking of going this route...

 

Nice!!! That’s a great idea

 

Took it in for 5k check and get passenger side mirror whistle addressed. Of course they couldn’t reproduce the whistle. I drive it again, make a video of the whistle and go right back. Tech rides out and we figured out the mirror is a little loose and the gap between the mirror body and mount is what is causing the whistle.

Tech pops off the bottom plastic cover piece then breaks one of the clips while putting it back on. Tech gets it back on, then says he will order a new mirror to see if that fixes the whistle problem... didn’t say anything about the piece he broke and I even said he broke it. If they put on a new mirror with new bottom piece all good, if they don’t they better order a new bottom part to replace what they broke.

 

Dam right Keebler keep them boys straight!!!

 

My wife got her 5K service on her 2019 Camry last week... The service tech performing the service very obviously opened the door into the post while it was on the rack... Scratched it down to the bare metal.

They brought it out without saying ANYTHING... Soon as my wife walks up She sees it and points it out to the service consultant... Who had the nerve to say that was probably there before you came..

My wife wouldn't accept the car... Calls me... I tell her to ask if they did a walk around inspection when they accepted the car, as they're supposed to do... She asks the service consultant Who says yes and he pulls the inspection report... No record of any scratch on the report...

They're painting her door now. Stealerships always try and get over. Had she accepted the car and just drove off when the consultant blamed her of it, she would've been stuck with the deep scratch.

 

Will see if the 19 does better than my 2000 runner did. Pulled lots bushes out with a strap today(much easier than digging and chopping). When I did that with my 2000, back in the year 2000 it blowout a seal in the transfer case
