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

Finally some new wheels. Stock tires for now. Hopefully will get it lifted soon.

 

this mod is on my short list! Just to confirm, you can close the mirrors by pushing the little button while the truck is running?

 

Link for parts?

Thanks a lot! This stuff is perfect!

 

Jeep did this with their grand Cherokee's (no longer having solid axle) and everything went down hill from there, no longer was the Grand an SUV people would buy for serious wheelin. The jeep grand Cherokee was arguably more popular than the 4runner is now, then. Everyone had a lifted grand with 35's LOL. One guy I knew put on 44's on a Cherokee sport.

Also I dont know if the new Jeep Gladiator's are even that popular now days. Jeep released them trying to make the Comanche come back I believe and I hardly ever see one unless its an insanely modified/prototype marketing machine. A good example of introducing changes to a product that flops.

 

I saw these a while ago and would love to modify mine. In Japan (where the 4Runner is made) the folding mirror is standard in 100% of the vehicles. Such a great idea.

Japan just gets all of the fun stuff.

 

I got the "blemished" Rago Molle panels for the 5th gen. If you look closely at the lower left of the passenger's side one that I test fit on my truck before painting it, you can see the tiny part where the laser shouldn't have gone. It's a tiny problem that I'm probably going to cover up with stuff anyway. The driver's side one was perfect, too. $50 off and not having to wait 2-6 weeks for them to make the panels makes me a happy camper. They shipped out next day and arrived today.

After doing the test fit, I painted the panels for both sides. They're currently drying overnight. I also tried filling in the hole with an old Mack's earplug before painting. It doesn't look like it's a seamless fix, but I'll see tomorrow how well the fill fix worked.

 

As long as they stay away from CVT transmissions it’ll be fine.

 

I finished painting yesterday and installed today my new Rago Molle Panels. The "blemished" part is a total non-issue. Well worth the money and very welcome savings with the "blemished" status. Very happy with it. I'm seriously considering getting the shelf that goes across the two panels.

 

Another round of quarantine boredom projects as I wait for new coil overs and upper arms to arrive; which will hopefully ship this week. Did spindle gussets this weekend, and prepped for marlin crawler gusset install, which should arrive this week.

 

@scottalot It's like the modern day panties hanging on the rearview mirror right Scott?

 

Hahah THATS right brother

 

Found another purpose for the tissue spot

 

I live in CA so I have the center console safe. I could do this in theory but I like the safe.

 

No need for a extra mag with that hog In the 365. I’ve been keeping my XL in there too. Great place.

 

Love this - gonna have to give this a go.

 

Hmmmm I'm wondering if my Glock 32 will fit in there. I'm pretty sure the DE won't!

 

Replaced the stock roof rack

 

Likely the same MERV rating. The new filter has a massive surface area due to the pleats. You're in good shape.

 

Need some Toyo AT3s....

 

Nice!! which rack is this ? I definitely want a full length, but dont have patience for the Gucci Gobi

 

Also check out some Falken Wildpeaks... just mounted them to mine and love them so far.. a little cheaper in cost too

 

Well, not much... vacuumed the interior and cleaned seats and dash. Amazing how nice it looks clean...

 

I did the same thing today. Gave it a good cleaning inside and out. It’ll be nice to hop in to go somewhere tomorrow and have that nice and clean smell

 

Installed the Victory Blitz bumper with the Smittybilt X20 winch and Aurora light bar.

 

Did a bit of off roading

 

Prinsu full rack. Yah I was in the same boat as you about the wait time for there roof rack. I did order the gobi ladder tho.

 

I did order Toyo AT III's for my lift install on Friday. Very excited to get back to Denver and take the family to Breckenridge. It's been many years since I was there last.
