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

100%

I only plasti-dipped this time around because I anticipate getting new wheels within the year, but wanted black wheels right away.

 

I know a few people who’ve had em done for 2-3 years in the N/E USA and S/E Canada. Prep is everything, then take your time and do 6-8 coats. I did 6 coats and I used about 4x 11oz cans.

 

The struggle is real!

 

Here she is with the centre-caps reinstalled, after yesterday’s wheel Plasti-dip.

 

I gave my 2020 Antics Design fuse cover another shot today. It didn't even last the non-driving weekend. I think I got it in more securely this time. I had to put it in the opposite way the stock cover goes in. The stock one anchors towards the front of the truck and snaps in the back. I found it easier to anchor the Antics one in the back and snap it into the front. I'm not sure if there are actually two clips on the front of the truck end of the fuse box which would make one of the holes moot, but it feels better situated now. I'll see how it goes this week.

 

Morimoto fogs, yesterday actually. Got black headlights with the morimoto BiLed2 projectors. Reviews say they are better than the DS2 retro. Could be a month or so till they show up.
I'm a dummy. All this crap to black out the rig and just realized I can't do squat about the state plate

 

Shot and finally finished editing a quick video of my Eibach Lift install. Can't thank my homie and his shop enough for helping with the install. Hope you guys enjoy!

 

Nice video. Im positive ive seen you driving around the bay somewhere, recognize the licesnse plate.

 

Added rock-rails Today. Not true sliders but will do for now.
Also recently switched up the wheel and Tire package. Next will be switching out the rear tail lights.

 

Genesis dual battery kit installed (thought I'd get this done Friday, but only one of the two batteries showed up; the second showed up today)

 

Not sure but wold be easy do add a dash switch. Air on board has oem "like" dash switches in many combos or complete custom made, looks oem

 

Looks pretty damn nice!!! Maybe I'll see you cruzin' around

 

Planning to swap out the turn signals on your mirrors too? I got some easy install blacked out ones that I really like. Make a big improvement to the blinding stock chrome ones...lemme know if you want the info on where I got em

 

Plz share. I'll be swapping out headlights and tail lights with blacked out versions soon.

 

Swapped out the stock grille with the TRD one, decided to order OEM for piece of mind.

 

I've got them just been lazy to install!
I think I got mine at runnin4tacos

 

new facelift! OEM TRD Pro front besides the useless hood scoop. love the new look

 

Bashed the factory KDSS skid in a rock garden so I got something beefier

Stock:


RSG KDSS skid:

 

Bingo those are the ones...The install pretty easily...happy to help if you need.

 

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

I kissed it on the lips

 

Same here, but that was just to apologize for all the cursing I did while installing my victory blitz bumper this evening, lol. Not that install was difficult by any means; just a few brief moments of frustration trying to get it up and into place to get the bolts started.

 

Thanks! I'll definitely be getting these soon.

 

I may have uttered an expletive or two myself

 

Eibach stage 1 lift, sso front bumper

 

Drove her to work. Bath, oil change, and alignment are on the agenda for tomorrow....

 

Several mods I completed over the last few days:

• Lexus Credit Card Key
• TRD Oil Cap
• Black TRD Shift Knob

 

I had one of these, the heat warps them a little and the sticker might fall off. I ended up sticking the sticker to the inside of the cover. Also, if the tabs start warping, DO NOT try to bend them back haha. they just snap. I dont know what to tell you about the locking in, mine "snapped" in pretty positively.

 

I swapped from silver TRD pro shift knob to all black version

 

Weird that the bull bar sticks under the grill

 

Agreed. On one end, I like the look of having it tucked in and not sticking out; but from a functionality standpoint, it's not going to be particularly useful. If I had this to do over again, I would probably order without the bar.
