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

Quick update:

So the tires rub with the front mud flaps when backing up at full turn lol...
Easy fix tho. However, when I get to 55mph the steering wheel shakes. So I took it back to Toyota and they found the Kevlar in the tires is warped so they’re getting me a new set next week

 

Got tint.

 

Had a beautiful drive up Rollins Pass this morning. Local said you could only make it a few miles due to down trees from the wind storm a while back but we took a chance and it paid off. Trail was open to the top!

 

so I put 275s BFGs this week on TRD wheels, no lift and I thought they were rubbing on the mud flaps when turning on reverse. Received the flaps just now and turns out they’re rubbing on the fender. Like the very bottom of it.

 

Gorgeous! I'm jealous.

 

I have an Off-Road model, mine came all black.

 

If I recall the black rails were started for the 2019 year. That is one of the few things our dealer actually pointed out. Stupid dealers... He didn't know what KDSS was!

 

I have a '19 SR5 and my rails were silver. Painted them with bed coating and really like how they came out.

 

Maybe it has an '18 build date or maybe they were using the last of the silver ones.
It is also possible I am completely wrong! Lol

 

Love when the first thing they want to talk about it the radio.

 

Our salesman was very knowledgeable & excited to explain the Softex to us...
He thought the rear locker had something to do with getting it on a tow truck (Huh )! I laughed and politely explained to him what it was. He then turned white...

 

I think it has to do with the trim level too. The OR has all black, the SR5 has silver rails with black caps, the limited has all silver (or chrome)

 

I think it changed for 19+ models. Mine is a 19, but I bought it in October of 2018.

 

It really was. Every time I come to Colorado I question my life choices and why I still live in KS.

Hadn’t thought of that but you’re right, it does! We heard some reports of elk in the area but didn’t see any. Hunters were out in force though.

 

Is it rubbing forward of your front tire or behind you front tire?

Have you had an alignment done? If so, what was the caster number?

 

Just received the title to my Pro. Now Bajadesigns led bar is on its way shipped to me. Have the Tail and turn lights coming for the rear. Just have to find time for the install.

 

Yeah I was surprised Kevin I received it so quick after paying my Pro off. I think it only took about a week.

 

picked up the TRD bronze wheels last week. for those of you wondering what they actually look like out in the sun here ya go. I’ll prob get them mounted within the next couple of weeks.

 

Finally installed Eibach stage 1 kits and JBA UCA still has to settle

 

Yes, I was surprised too. All the brochures showed the OR with chrome rails. I was super pleased to see them black. The OR in Canada is the ORP in US. Same for the SR5, here it’s the premium trim.

 

They rub in the front of the tire. I can see where it rubs on the bumper plus I had a buddy visually confirm it. I have not had an alignment done to it. Didn’t think it would need it with wheel and tire change. Never did it before on my Jeep or Chevy so I thought it would be fine on the 4runner.

 

nice! I thought about going with these but I saw one the day before I bought them and thought they looked like “dirty” rims lol decided to go with the gun metal instead and I am pleased

 

when i bought the 4runner last year, i told myself that if they ever made them in bronze i’d get them... lucky me

 

Good!

That's an easy fix.

Look up the fender liner mod for our trucks and do that. It requires minimal tools and will take you all of 10 minutes per side.

 

I had S2 sports laying around form the thanksgiving promo they ran last year. Was going to do a rear fog and 1 aux reverse light went a different route
Any who got some wide yellows Added lamin-x tint. The TRD OR does not use the two factory mounts on the skids so I ran some m6 1.25 turned out well
The factory grommet has an extra tit you just lop it off and in the cabin you go

 

well I wish it was on the fender liner. But it’s not. It’s on the fender itself...

 

Get a flap wheel sander and clearance it. Easy peasy.

 

That's what the mod cuts. I was nervous at 1st but it's easy as the videos show. I used a razor knife

 

Performed my trucks first oil/filter change today. Also installed some LED reverse lights.

 

Why do they look like they are metallic grey in pics? … guess it’s my phone.
