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

Is that a emblem overlay for steering wheel emblem?

 

Looks Nice! … so just curious what was your turn around time on the Gobi?

 

Just cleaned up after 4 days of camping in southern Oregon / northern California. Decided to make the trip with a buddy too late to mail order the paper Oregon BDR maps, so we pieced together some righteous dirt roads with the help of a Delorme Gazeteer and some half ass on the fly navigation from our passengers instead. 950 miles with about half of that on dirt. No pics of the cleanup but it was a somewhat prolonged process because I can't not splash through the big holes...

 

Wow! All those shots are amazing, but this one in particular is epic! This should be a 4Runner ad.

Destination A/T's doing their job!

 

LOL, you know it, fellow Destination AT user!

Related: buddy has a 13 4R with new Wrangler ATS... 2 flats on the trip including one which was a catastrophic blowout from a rock slice. 0 issues with the Destinations!

He ran out of spares! My patch kit and air compressor to the rescue on the less damaged tire...

 

Now that's funny.

I hope you teased him the entire time about those Goodyears. Haha!

 

Took 4 months and 10 days from order placed to drooling over it in my garage.

 

have 19,500+ as of today, going to Miami tomorrow thi Thurs. So I won't be over 20k BUT plan on doing the 1st for me oil & filter change next weekend.Guess I'll stick with Pennzoil, have used it for years. Have Filter/Filter Bowl/Filter wrench on order for Amazon. Due here Wed. I just viewed a couple of You tube videos on this. Looks just like my old 2012 FJ oil & filter R&R. I have never replaced drain gasket. But I may start W/this one. I guess I can get one & Advanced Auto or Auto Zone. Found some At both places except I don't think in stock today.
Dorman P/N 095-156CD.
WoW just did search oil prices Pennzoil full
Synthetic 0-20W Advanced Auto 5Qts $33.99
Wally World $22.68 $11.31 less!!!

 

Yep.

 

A good wash. Was going to clay bar and wax but got other tasking

 

Swapped hoods today with another memeber. Bet you can't guess why I wanted a flat hood, hint: it wasn't the looks.

 

No clue. Where did you get the headlight eyelids?

 

no eyelids, just cloudy plastic headlights and the lighting. Sorry to dissapoint. On that note though any suggestions for the cloudy headlights?

 

Had yellowing on my Audi headlights.. i wet sanded them with increasingly fine grit (I forgot exactly what grits but I’m sure a google search will yield some results) and ended with Mcguiers Plastic polish. I was scared to do it at first, but I did some thorough research until I felt comfortable with the process. It took some time and elbow grease, but they looked perfectly clear, and practically new after that.

 

as Travis already mentioned, sand paper, polish and elbow grease, they can look like new again plus better light output.
Grit would be 800, 1000 and 2000 wet, then a plastic polish and finally a clear coat for protection. YouTube will have a huge selection on how to videos

 

Swapped out the factory alternator with a Mean Green high output alternator last night and just dropped my girl off at YotaMasters in Corona for some 4.56 Nitro Gears.

 

Was it to eliminate skewp glare? I traded for a non-skewp hood on my Taco because of that.

 

Audio build is complete.

Kenwood excelon DMX907s headunit with idatalink maestro.
double USB input replaced stock USB/Aux input.
All doors and rear hatch speakers replaced with Kenwood KFC series speakers.
DDaudio 10" (entry level) subs in the back.
DDaudio 500 watt rms amp installed under front passenger seat.
Bass remote installed in the worthless cubby hole on dash.
Stinger X, 4ga ultimate wiring kit and stinger 4000 RCAs.
Quick disconnect added to subwoofer box with an XT60 connector. Makes removal quick and easy.

My thoughts in 1 word... EXCELLENT.

This setup wasnt designed to break windshields or shake the car beside you. But it still turned out louder than i imagined. Enough bass to feel in your chest while the mids and highs are still crystal clear. No drowning out of the lyrics.

 

Yeah that's exactly it. Wow I didn't think anyone would guess that.

 

New falkens and wheels feel niiiice

 

Had to order a new headlight today. Piece of metal got kicked up by the truck in front of me and I had no where to go to avoid it. I guess a headlight is better than hood or fender damage at least.

 

Eagle eye tail lights

 

Not today, but spent fathers day weekend out at Ka'ena Point. Finally got to properly break in the dobinsons set up.

 

Dang! … or windshield … Glad your okay and it can be replaced.

 

Looks really nice!

What's the lift height and how does it ride?

 

Thanks, 2.5" lift...the ride is really nice all around. Super impressed with Dobinsons.

 

Do you mind sharing a link? Looks really clean.

 

Not a secret.
