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

I vinyl wrapped the the front garnish piece below the emblem and added a front valance.

I got a couple of used balances off eBay and spray painted them with the Rust-Oleum Black Spray-can Bed Liner.


I’m going to add the rear valance in a couple of days.

 

Nice! I really like your theme of black/white with red accents.

 

You're lucky to get 14.7...lol With my 6" and 34's I am lucky to break 14 most of the time. Hahahaha......wait why is that funny, damn.

 

entered a giveaway on IG last minute on the last day and logged on the next day to my surprise




man im stoked I was just about to upgrade to 285's on my stock wheels too

 

That is wild! Congrats !

 

You lucky duck

 

Wow, congrats. That never happens to most!!

 

Very cool! Congrats!!

 

I went to the car wash. I made sure to get the underbody wash for rust protection and because I'm going to be getting under there and installing the TRD exhaust on Saturday.

 

Hopefully you don't live in the rust belt! The other day, I went to put new exhaust on my 2020 4Runner I bought last December and the bolts are so badly rusted from the road salt that I will need to cut them off. Thankfully, it's the rear section set of bolts, the forward section isn't rusted at all.

 

Another thing with TRD black stainless exhaust tip and rust belt. I had mine ceramic coated and it was always clean. Couple trips up I90 in Chi town with road salt it pitted the tip bad enough to ruin the finish. Not sure if it can survive a season of road salt? Might be the chemicals they mix in it nowadays

 

New Jersey, so we'll see. I've got all week to do it, so there's that. I don't know how much salt it saw on the road since February, though. It didn't snow after I got it. I know there was one small patch of road that had a whole bunch of salt that must have fallen off of the truck, but that was it. I was through it in less than a second.

 

Well, that's something that I'm going to have to live with.

 

Got the 11 TE on Monday and first thing...tint. Felt like I was driving around naked with out it.

 

Finally got around to this project, wasn't too bad. Looks great from the drivers seat!

 

hell yeah! welcome aboard. i have a 12 TE. how many miles?

 

119,XXX...original owner who NEVER took it off pavement.

 

nice man, enjoy!

 

What attachment do you have for this RAM mount?

 

So what was your project? The Ram mount or the grab handle (or both)?

 

Did the second oil change and lubed the 'shafts. All bolts came out with no problem as well as the filter housing. I guess that's because I did the last one and will never allow a dealer anywhere near this vehicle unless it's warranty work. Also installed Prothane Sway bar bushings that my son gave me for my birthday. Thanks Chris (2016 4Runner SR5). I haven't driven it yet to see if they make any difference. I'll let ya know.

 

I used the guide over on Tacomaworld.com. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/mod-a-pillar-ram-mount-gps-phone-holder.372250/

 

8 months in. Time for a bit of new look - PRO grille in. Am now officially a poser. Thank you.

 

Where in Ocala did you camp? Looking for places close to home to cut my teeth solo camping with my new to me 2015

 

Just gotta paint those valances....

 

Nice! What kind of license plate frame is that?

 

I got clear bra on the roof so today I will install the new rack. Couple of weeks ago installed the rago center console modular.

 

Thanks. Bump Shox frame.

What prep and what paint did you use?

 

Not related to 4Runners but is related to dealers doing shitty work. Today I changed the oil on my wife's 2019 Forester for the first time. The first oil change was done at the dealer because it was there for an issue for the tailgate not opening and it was due so I figured I'd just have them do the free oil change. There is a plastic pan under the engine with a window to get to the pan plug. The window has a cover much like our 4Runners but it's held on by 3 plastic fasteners. Well two of them were missing and the cover was left moved out of the way and being held on by the one that's left. Then I had to use a breaker bar to get the plug out of the pan and the oil filter was gorilla'd on too. So incompetence is certainly not limited to Toyota dealerships. This dealer will never see my Forester unless it's for warranty work just like my 4Runner.
