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

Yes. I replaced mine on my 20 TRDORP. I did have one tab break on the original mirrors but otherwise very easy replacement.

 

Here the dealership asks if you would rather carpet or all weather mats... I have gotten all weather mats on my last 5 toyotas.

But i think i may switch to some huskys... Cover more area.

 

Congrats on the job and pay bump!

 

They gave me the all-weather rubber mats AND the carpet ones. I've got the carpet mats still in the plastic taking up space in the basement.

 

Well done!

 

It’s fits prefect. The design behind the glass is slightly different but it’s fits and matches up with the 4R.

 

Funny. That one tab on the original, it’s like it was meant to break off. lol Had that happen to me as well.

 

So, I did a thing. I got these: https://importequipment.com/products/tacoma-pro-grille-accent-decals-stickers-fits-2016-2020
I made a "badge" to stick them to and mounted it with zip ties. Not perfect but I like it. The last pic are stickers that go over the orange side markers on the headlights. I'll put them on and post pics when it gets warmer out there.

 

I want one...but in white. Maybe one day. That sticker price (MSRP) is no joke. lol

 

@KSJ08 Congrats, man!!! I was afraid i was gonna get laid off or lose my job but that isnt happening, as of yesterday so now im trying to figure out what to do next!

 

90k on this one. Why it’s sitting outside I don’t know lol got a 33k rav4 on the showroom floor

 

Hahaha!

 

Did the power steering line relocation and power steering cooler install today.

Ain't gotta tape off anything myself...took it to a local Spray Liner professional and had them do it after the prior moron attempted to do a paint or dip job themselves. Was not expensive either had front end don and both of my slider steps done for under 300 (if I remember). Worth it!

 

Mind sharing where you got those mirrors from? I've been thinking about putting some on mine.

 

i got some ultra 235 maverick 17x8 wheels wrapped with 285 nitto trail grapplers. i think it makes the runner really stand out now with an aggressive stance. the nitto ride smooth for a mud tire and are not too loud. the mpg has gone down about 2 mpg but that is to be expected and a small price to pay in my opinion. i am definitely satisfied with both.

 

Whatcha building??

 

This type of tote storage.



I have a bunch of dead space up high in my garage, so little man and I busted out some colored pencils and graph paper and started drawer up plans and making a parts list. I put in the Home Depot order online and did in store pick up yesterday when it was ready.

We started on it today, little man and I worked for like 15 minutes setting up and got 2 cuts done.... now we’re at Urgent Care.

My son loves dogs, he always asks to pet them. Some people wearing face masks were walking their dog. My son asked to pet it, they said sure he’s friendly. He did, the dog loved it then got him right in the eye with a lick. Within a couple minutes his eye swelled almost closed. Not sure if it’s some kind of allergic reaction (he’s never shown signs of being allergic to dogs in the past) or is his eye got scratched. Either way we’re sitting in Urgent Care waiting to be seen. He’s in pretty good spirits about it so that’s a plus. He seems more uncomfortable then in pain.

 

My Wife and I are going to start a garage project like yours. Floor to ceiling, 24' long and have 4 shelves. Mostly Quilt fabrics and anything Quilt related.
I've got my shop for the smelly gear head stuff. Plan on about 40' of shelving.
Hope Lil Man is on the mend. Hang in there big guy.

 

Hope he is ok, keep us updated on his progress.

 

Long day.

 

Here's what I need to do today:

Remove my front RCI skid by myself without a floor jack to change the front diff oil... I can probably get it off and dropped down, but putting it back up is gonna require some mechanical assistance. LOL

 

I got them at the dealership. Cost was about $48 each.

 

No actual trauma, just a pretty severe allergic reaction to dog slobber in his eye. Benadryl and cold compress and he’ll be back to normal in a couple days. What really freaked us out was the White on the lower half of his eyeball looked like it blistered up! The doctor said that’s typical of an allergic response in and around the eye.

I see some snuggling on the couch while being introduced to live action Transformers movies in our near future lol

 

Happy to hear, my son (10) loves the Transformers movies. Get him started there then move to Marvel

 

Bought one of these. Should look nice on my 2012. Not sure I want the flat black all the way around. Might need to get it painted or try to swap outer frames.

 

Eibach says 4wks until the spring lift kit is available for the pros. 1.5” front 1” rear. Roughly $190 a pair.

will be ordering

 

Nice - I had to buy a set off ebay and will be getting shipped to me soon. I like that it's super easy to swap since all you need to do is yank off the existing mirror (and disconnect heating plug).

I was hesitant to do so the first time around (when I did my mirror signal replacement) but the housing can handle it rough haha!

 

It’s super easy and you’ll wonder why Toyota didn’t put these on in the first place.
