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

Awesome thanks for the advice, will try this later today if I have time!

 

Your welcome. Here’s the video that came from where I purchased the Directional lights. Like I mentioned I pulled off the plastic caps, and didn’t remove the mirror it self like shown in the video.

I considered the wrap route but settled on the bed-liner spray for durability....being on the front end and all.
Not a single chip, scratch or loss of color on it yet, two years of mud, gravel, underbrush, small saplings, etc.

 

Swapped out the stock chrome side mirror turn signals this past weekend to all black replacements.

Was super simple and went off without a hitch. I went with the Black sequential ones to go with the sequential turn signals on my AM smoked headlights I installed before Easter.



...not sure how to attach a video of them lite but trust me they look great

NEXT!, onto getting them tail lights swapped out for some smoked ones!

 

I’d consider it, but I plan on having some type of bumper mod done in the front by next summer. So I just need to clean up the front a little to last a year or less.

 

Blows my mind how Toyota added less and less of these features as newer models came out. My 2011 SR5 had everything the “premiums” have, and then some. And they’ve gotten more expensive too

 

Looking forward to when they're back in stock to finish out the LED conversion for mine.

 

Flexed her out!

Doing the valance with plastidip was extremely easy. I didnt really have to worry about overspray, as it comes right off. Do a decent job taping with lots of coats, and you'll be fine!

 

Yup,he tried everything but nothing worked.

 

I asked this over on the other site but got no response (apologies if you view this as a double post). I just bought a 2020 to replace my totaled 18. I’m trying to get rid of the weird chrome grill inserts Toyota thought we’d like this year. On a search I saw a picture of a factory insert that was black not chrome. I was looking for the part on a Toyota parts site and see they’re listed as discontinued. Anyone have any insight or experience with this? Odd a 2020 MY part would be discontinued already....

 

Those pieces actually come out with a few small screws. I took mine and plastidipped to get the black finish.

 

Put some new all weather floor mats in today. Should have bought a set before winter, but I'll still get plenty of use out of them through all the seasons .

 

That's the same set that came with my vehicle. My absolute favorite thing about them, bar none, is that big fancy yellow tag on the driver's front mat that say, "Don't even think about putting this thing in upside down." Wouldn't you know it, it was also on the dealer's checklist to cover with me as a checkbox when I bought the vehicle. I think they take this point fairly seriously at Toyota!

 

I thought the same thing about that giant yellow tag!

 

They are so crazy about floor mats from
The old unintended acceleration days that they blamed on the floor mats.

 

It’s not difficult but Take your time and pay attention. Don’t force anything. It’s easy to break tabs.

And use bulb grease. Water gets in there. Mine were wet when I got inside. Probably from car wash, but still. Grease them while you’re in there.

 

Are the all weather mats standard on the ORP's?

 

Not sure. They were in there when I bought it, but I didn’t check the sticker.

It would be kinda nice if they went up behind the gas pedal, but I dig ‘em anyway.

 

They are not standard on any model, they are an option. I bought my 2016 SR5 new and they were included.

 

Maybe my sales guy just thought I was super cool and put ‘em in there.

 

Way to go @KSJ08! It's always good to see 'acquaintances' getting one up. Good on you! Congratulations, especially in this environment.

 

The cargo area mat was one of my first purchases when I got the truck. A little pricier, but I went with the Husky cargo mat in back. That area gets really wet and sandy with all the wetsuits and crap I put back there. I really liked how the lip on the Husky mat went all the way around to contain the sand and water. But I couldn't justify $200 for the front and rear seat Huskys. They're nice, but I didn't want to spend that much.

 

Finally got around to installing the Blind Spot Mirrors (RAV4) on my 2019 4R Pro. Happy on how they turned out. Also put on some plastic Strike Plate Cover as well.

 

What does the strike cover do?

 

Nothing at all. lol. Basically just covers it for looks.

 

Getting tires rotated saw the new land cruiser. Pretty sweet minus the basket

 

Is the glass the same size as the oem?

 

I got the full mat set including the cargo area when I bought my '19 SR5. The dealer threw them in as part of the sale, they do not come with every vehicle. I think they are part of a package.

 

Same here, front middle and back. I was told it was the weather package. I guess it's whatever the respective dealer wants to sell it and market it as. I like them and I'm glad they came with it.
