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

Really like the increased Fuel mileage since Monday. I run 90 octane Non Ethanol.

 

I assume yo

I assume you're completely stock otherwise? This mileage is pretty average for highway traveling when totally stock. Mine was modified right away so I have no idea what I got stock but my dad bought a 2019 and took a road trip shortly after. If I remember correctly, he was getting 23-24 on the highway with zero modifications.

With my current setup, best I have done is 18 with cruise set at 65 and driving about an hour and 45 minutes.

 

Yes all but the rear Fox Shocks. This is local Stop and go in town Traffic. It was always around 20.8. It’s still breaking in.

 

Maybe after a couple weeks the front will settle a half inch+ ? Might end up exactly where you want it.

 

Added my Morimoto headlights!!!!! So awesome!

 

Well on Wed. I put on the steps. Today I put on some flags.

 

Installed my rear window molle panels from Bullet Proof Fabricating. Pretty easy install. Now to get everything mounted up to them.

 

Looks good, ragofab had a shelf on sale this week. I like the setup with it attached to the side panels

 

They look great, just can't pull the trigger. So much $$$. and too much else to do.

 

How sturdy are they?

 

This time next week ill have my arclight leds voltage booster for my xsd3100 and a lfd offroad full aluminum roof rack!!

 

They are bolted on to the truck with 3 bolts and seem pretty sturdy. Not sure what the max weight capacity is (manufacturer doesn't list a max probably because of liability issues). But I'd have no problem putting 30-35 lbs on each one (maybe more).

 

Jimmy where did you score the window flag decals?

 

hit a deer on the way to work

 

Got them from Skull Daddy Graphics on Amazon.

I Like.!

 

Ah shit.! I've worried about that going back and forth from hunting/camping but not going to work... sorry bout that...doesn't look to crazy bad tho.

 

I got my 19mpg merit badge finally.

 

I hit that once I'm sneaking up on it again.

 

Had some fun but this might not buff out... Totally worth it, got to some great spots and had lunch with a view! Scratch goes from front to rear, these are just some of the "highlights". It is her daily and she was getting the kid out of it in a parking lot when someone on the other side said "Well... I guess at least they use it.... not going to help resale though...." HAHA... like we would ever sell it! Just hit 18k miles and the dealer asks what the hell we've been doing with it when we take it in for regular service etc.

 

doh..!!

 

My biggest worry is the hood is out of alignment. I'll take it in Monday and see what all needs to be done. I have a Boy Scout camping trip this weekend so I taped everything up and out of the way to get me through the week

 

Time for a steel front bumper!!

 

In case anyone is wondering... Four 285/70/17 tires fit great with the seats down, no lift needed

 

I thought about that, but I'd still need a new stock bumper to be able to trim and fit. Too much $$ for me

 

The tire shop scratched up my stock sr5 wheels while putting the 285s on... Several gouges, scratches around the lip, and damaged a center cap... Apparently the tech was rushing and being careless.


The manager offered to order another set of the factory SR5 wheels for me. But then I'd have to come back on another day. Or I could get a free set of what they currently had in stock that would fit my 4runner...

I only had 2 choices.. 1 chrome and 1 black... So I chose the black. They're not the wheels I'd pick if I was buying wheels but they're not that bad either... I'll post pictures once they're done and I get home.

 

Today I Installed the TRD front Skid and a USB Outlet on the Left Portion of the Dash.
Also hit 1,000 Miles.

 

All done. It does rub, mostly at full lock in reverse but even on very sharp turns going forward as well. Im pretty sure its rubbing on the very edge of the bottom part of the front bumper, not just the fender liner. Going to have to fix that. But it rides good and looks great. The wheels really dont look that bad either for free wheels.

Nearly ran out of sunlight, so these arent the best pictures but they will do for now.

 

Not my style but they did the right thing. I hope they gave you back your stock wheels? I would sell the stock SR5 wheels, sell those new wheels, buy the wheels you really want.

 

I didnt even ask for the stock wheels, as i dont think they should have to give me the old wheels and the new wheels too. They were willing to order me a brand new set of SR5 wheels if i chose that, but i didnt want to wait and have to come back. Im happy with the way they handled it and the outcome.
