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

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?

 

Negative, I added the pillar assist grip on the drivers side. The ram arm is connected to the lower arm mount.

I’ve had this mount for a while both on my Tacoma’s and the T4R and so far the phone has had no issues.

 

First time getting the awning out. Dig it

 

I painted my Treaty Oak Offroad recovery points. Yes, they came in a pair. I have two. I just have one in the photo. I'll install them in a few weeks.

 

I just got back to NY from NC after bringing my Willys to my son. 12 hours with only gas a pee stops. I'm pretty beat but the 4Runner did great. I already posted about towing it down there but I don't think I mentioned that I got around 12MPG never going above 60 MPH OK maybe 65 once in a while.
Coming home doing 65 to 75 where kinda legal and a few stints cruising at 80 for a while I got 20.3. Not bad considering I was not driving to get the best mileage. I hate NY but I'm glad to be home. I really need to move to NC myself.

 

I just installed the N-fab Nerf Step this morning. So far, so good, looks like a Predator, but not very low. No mods, except I had to remove a small piece of plastic on the rear end.






This is the plastic I'm talking about, and is held in place by two small screws:





So after installing them, I looked at the box and took a pic of the sticker to post it here, so it's made in china... I thought is was made here...

 

Canada would be CA

 

I hope you're right... can someone chime in to confirm ...

 

Ouch! I have a nice dent just above windshield. I may or may not get it fixed. I'm glad I did the other dings though.

 

Yes you can store other items. I added some rubber to the top so whatever I put on top won't slide around. I mainly put sunscreen and mints.

 

Pretty nice! … Looks like they’ve made some design changes; I own a pair of there old style … Some time in the future I would like to switch them out to some welded on real rock sliders.

 

Ok this is hilarious and I can’t believe it took almost a year to figure this out.

My wife has a 2020 SR5P and she absolutely loves it, one of her biggest complaints was that she was able to lock and unlock her doors from the door handle on her previous cars and on the 4Runner she was only able unlock from the handle but had to either use the fob or the button on the hatch to lock it.

My father just picked up a 2020 Taco TRDOR and I was showing him how to use carplay (he’s 73 and not great with tech) and I noticed on the door handle it had these two little lines, when you touch them the vehicle locks! I kept saying how great that was and wished it was on the 4Runner.

Well...it is and it performs the same. Now my wife is happy and I feel so stupid it took us this long to realize it, even the dealership I picked up the 4Runner from told me there was no way to lock it from the handle.

Thought everyone might like to laugh at my stupidity.

 

Took it off roading for the first time since buying it on Friday. Went up to Chipmunk Road, then through a pretty tight ATV road all the way up to a Cheam Valley viewpoint. It was awesome, lots of rocks and water crossings. Came out with zero trail damage, 11 hours of good times and an awesome memory.
