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

oh I know. The guys coming Monday morning lol

 

What are we looking at here?

 

That beautiful dent someone decided to put in the door ... sucks hopefully he will be able to work it out and not have any issues .

 

his new air compressor stored in the side compartment

 

Added window deflectors and extension to the rack. Issue is that the hatch wont open all the way and the rack cant be moved forward since the clamps are not supposed to go on the extension piece. Its not too bad and I like the added room but I'm not sure if I will keep it.

 

That is pretty inconvenient to not be able to open the rear hatch...

 

You can still open it 8/10 or 9/10 of the way

 

Yeah it sucks. SUPER frustraiting but the dent guy says it shouldnt be a problem to knock out, its pretty amazing what work ive seen on the guys IG. I have no idea where it happened since im not usually on that side of my truck. within the last 3 days best I can tell.

 

@rlporter507 hey man, just fyi, if you click on the word "Quote" which is on the very bottom right corner of every post, that'll put the post which you are referring to within your response (like I did here)

By doing so, you accomplish a few things. First, it lets the person that you are answering know that you answered or made a post via a notification. Second it gives people who are not part of the conversation context into what you're discussing, especially since so many people post on the thread, your conversation may be spread out over multiple pages.
You can also use the @ symbol and then type someone's name and that'll also give them a notification that you referenced them. (That's what I did at the top of this post to "tag" you in it)

Not trying to be arrogant or anything, just makes it easier for everyone to follow along

Well, I guess not EVERYONE

 

Installed the KDSS skid and Derale tranny oil cooler

 

I just spent $350 for about 12 dings on my 6 month old vehicle. Still have a dent on my roof that will need the headliner to be dropped some.

 

You're already pro!

 

I added some smoked sequential turn signals to my mirrors. I got these shipped directly from China (quite a bit cheaper than other versions):

I have not seen anyone else on here with this brand so I thought I'd give everyone a look.

Overall the fit and finish appears very good. I wish the smoke tint was darker but it did remove some of the chrome on the vehicle. These do appear a little brighter and more noticeable than stock, but I wouldn't consider these "bright". If you're looking for a complete blacked out version I think Runnin4Tacos is still your best bet.

 

I hate door dings. Ugh!

 

Unless you park next to another truck that's lifted, a lift and some sliders should make most door dings a thing of the past.

 

Wheredya get the window deflectors, and how was the install?

 

Added a Lock'er Down Console safe to my 4Runner , great build quality from them and very easy to install (2 bolts) . Very happy with the purchase .

 

Are those clear round objects in the console lights?

 

Yes , they sent me 2 small round battery powered lights with my order , sticky tape on the back , i just put them inside the safe to give a little extra light .

 

Nice job! I’ll have to add this to the list of things to do on my 4R!

 

Added American Flag decals to the rear side windows . Get compliments from fellow 4Runner owners all the time .

Install took 10mins.

 

Very nice! Can you store anything on top of the safe and still be able to close the lid? Tissues, other thin items. etc...

 

Don't think you would be able to get anything on top of the closed safe when closing the center console lid , unless its something that is very thin . The console lid has the bump out on the inside of it that is for napkins, tissues , etc . That does not have to be removed to install the safe or to properly close the lid . Hope this helps .

 

Weekend project turned Friday afternoon off project. Pretty easy after last weekend's wiring learning took me less then 2 hours. Ijdmtoy upper grille hidden light bar, not to shabby for being cheap, 20 inch light bar.

 

About 5 months after I bought mine, something flew up from the highway and did this just above the windshield. A small dent and down to bare metal.

 

Found a nice very secluded aspen grove and set up camp for a week of social distancing.

 

Switched out the square magnetic phone mount with a round one for a cleaner look.

 

Is that attached to the windshield with suction cup ? I still have yet to find something I like for my phone ...

 

Does it mess with the hall sensor on the phone?
