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

That's a mega flex and I appreciate it

 

I’m jealous. That’s a helluva driveway.

 

At first all I saw was the voodoo blue. After a second look I saw the grey one. I love that color!

 

Nice Stable of Rides

TRD Exhaust installed this evening.
IDrive was delivered today. Might hook it up Tomorrow. The feel like Temps hit 102* This afternoon. Summer has kicked in.

 

A murder of crows was feasting on some carcass in the middle of the road on my morning surf check.

They all got out of the way, except one.

It hit the front passenger side bumper hard enough to unclip it. Easy fix though......just popped it back in.

Unfortunately, the crow didn't make it.

This can't be a good omen

 

Spent the last hour or so hand washing and drying it...ooohhh shiny

 

Haha thanks all!

I may or may not have very easy access to acquiring them.
The Voodoo and the Taco are [employee *cough cough I may regret saying that on here*] leases, the Cement is my new ride-or-die.

 

Lucky dude!

Something to do to my 5th gen today...

 

Replaced Front Passenger Door Lock Actuator on my 2016 4RTP today; Local Dealer in Nashville replaced under warranty about a year ago with OEM part… Didn’t last long!

Followed this gentleman’s vid for install
See Link: https://youtu.be/0OuTP52686k

Took about 30 mins and be careful and take your time!

 

Got it installed today. Kenwood excelon dmx907s with idatalink maestro. The tire pressure readout, Android auto, and anytime rear camera make it worth it on its own... But the sound quality also went up 500% with the STOCK SPEAKERS. Didn't expect it to sound this much better just by switching the radio out. I don't even feel the need to upgrade speakers anymore. The radio sounds great. I can adjust a few settings and have it louder than I ever need at volume 15.

Unfortunately I found out my cheap phone can't be used for Android auto wirelessly... Works great connected by USB, but won't connect wirelessly... My wife's Samsung Galaxy S9 works perfectly both wireless and wired. Haven't tried either yet for mirroring, that's not something I think I'd do... But I may try it eventually.

Also changed out the stock USB/aux plug for a dual USB.

 

Still T-Shooting the 3 Pax windows NOT being able to close from respected door controls. The lockout switch is working as supposed to. The switches are physically unable to be pulled up to close. Tried resetting per OM & from suggestions on-line to know avail. Hate to have to go to dealer for a re-set. But starting to think I have no other choice

 

Put weather tech rainguards on. I also got a hood bug deflected but am having second thoughts about putting it on for trapping dirt against hood With it being new

 

Don’t know if someone has already suggested this for you to try, but pop the hood up and disconnect negative battery terminal … wait about an hour or so and go hook it back up, stick the key in & start it up, close all doors and give the switch try… if it doesn’t work the window up/down as designed then and if it’s still under warranty have dealership replace switch … if it’s not then go buy a new switch …

 

Is that the raised weather tech or the flush one that sticks on? I've got the raised one and nothing really stays under it . Stuff rinses right out...this is on my old runner..it's been transferred to it's 3rd one now

 

It’s the low pro I should’ve gotten the other one.

 

I didn't do these today, but I did do them recently.




I got a couple of these Duragadget tablet headrest mounts from Amazon. They work with the Nintendo Switch nicely. There's a little learning curve to getting things set up right, but it's stable enough once you get used to it. I tried it out myself while my dad was driving my truck around town, and it worked as well as you could expect. I was playing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and at least for me the characters were probably too small and the action too frantic for me to view totally comfortably while moving. I could see myself having a better time with something that has more simple graphics like the Sega Ages Outrun from the eShop or something.

I went with this one partly because it has good access from all sides for power connections. I didn't show it in the pictures, but I was able to plug a USB cable from the bottom of my Nintendo Switch to one of the rear USB power ports in the back of my 2020 4Runner, so my Switch was able to stay topped off through the whole trip.

The stock 4Runner headlights are pretty bad. These are some good replacements. I only drove at night with them once so far, but everything looked really clear through my windshield.

These videos from TRD Jon on Youtube helped me to decide on these headlights. A link to the Lasfit online store is in the description of the videos.

Two week review: https://youtu.be/GYiQyd-uCvk

 

All three

Pax doors will put widow down, BUT they will NOT pull up, can't believe all 3 are bad. Hell only 1 time since new has anyone sat in rear pax seats & that was my wife & friends wife .They did not use the window controls. It's %98 time just me in the vehicle. Thanks for the input.

 

washed it after being in and out the field for 4 days. It was completely covered in dirt/dust inside and out.

 

Gave it a quick wash. Next weekend will be clay, polish, glaze, and then wax, followed by a full interior detail.

 

Got lift and tires installed yesterday.

 

Looks Great, now go have some fun!

 

LIAR! You just want to show off that you are now living in North Carolina with that gorgeous lake in your back yard and make me jealous! Admit it you rotten kid!

 

Noticed I had a bunch of rail dust down my one side; so hit it with some iron remover, followed by clay bar. After that, I went ahead and did a full wash and wax.

Also, was in Portage, MI earlier today; drove right past Victory/JCR at one point and couldn’t help wonder if my front bumper was done yet, lol. Not that it would have mattered anyways (considering they’re not open on the weekends), but would be kind of funny if it happens to by some chance ship out tomorrow.

 

LOL is there even a 4Runner in that picture?

 

Nice! are the toyo's AT 2 or 3's and what size are they?

 

AT3's 285/70

 

And yes they do rub a little at full turn while reversing.

 

Move the liner forward and cut the bumper lip flush with the liner. Problem solved.
