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

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.

 

You know I can help you with that problem??

 

Pic of your entire rig please

 

Highest I've seen mine do is 21mpg / 430 range

 

Oil changed, waxed and ready for the next 5 months of shitty western Pa. weather.

 

USB outlet is exactly what I want to do. Do you have a link?

Rci full skid + ,gas tank skid

 

How hard was the wiring?

 

Its Two wires, Hot And a Ground. I use a Low profile fuse Tap that I purchased from eBay. I only want power to it when the key is on. I Drilled a small pilot hole in the blank And removed it with a screw.

I’m disconnecting the power source temporary, and waiting for the MESO Extended Fuse Cover to be back in stock Which is really needed when using a fuse tap. If not you either need to keep the cover off, Or cut it like the bottom photo.
