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

What offset are your Ray 10s, -10 or -38mm?

 

I have the full lfd rack and love it. That skid place looks awesome. May have to swap mine out from the trd one. Looking good!!!

 

cant find automotive carpet for the life of me. For the camping trip I ended up using a mat from homedepot and that was it

 

Any car stereo shop will have it. Any shop worth their weight anyway. Use the same carpet used to wrap subwoofer enclosures or amp racks. Get the carpet and a can of 3M spray adhesive and have at it. Wear gloves! It's always fun getting the glue and little strings of carpet off your fingers.

 

That’s actually a good point, didn’t think of it. I was trying homedepot and other stores like that..

 

I got dirty!

 

He needs spray adhesive to glue the carpet down to the panels.

 

-10

 

Installed the jackery to run the dometic when the truck was off.

 

Are you running spacers?

 

Finally swapped out the rear liftgate struts that came with the Gobi rack... definitely pretty stout. Easy too...

 

No

 

-10 wheel with the typical 1.25” wheel spacer would be about -42 which would be a disaster in therms if rubbing. Highly advise against that.

 

I suppose if you want to take a 10 minute job and turn it into a 60 minute job. The spray glue works, lasts, and is fast. I've done it more times than I can count over the year and it's really the best way to do it when it comes to carpet.

 

Yeah, it's not unheard of though. Gun.rnr on Instagram runs -10mm Ray 10's with 1.25 spacers. I'm sure it required a BMC.

 

Did you have to air down or anything else to swap?

 

What and where did you get them?
Thanks

 

Nah. Just carefully swapped them with the tire as is.

 

Finally got my RSG Rock Sliders installed. I absolutely love them. Bolted on super quick and easy.

 

Bit hard to tell....those the angled or the flat?

 

Sorry good point. They are angled.

 

Looks phenomenal.
Odd question, why no fill plate option? I love the RSG sliders but this year isn't a good one for us. Also, why angled? Do you do a lot of crawling or just like the looks better?
Thanks,
Ryan

 

Spent a good bit of 5 hours cleaning it up from yesterday’s adventure.... all is well again

 

Nice move ... do you enjoy up north better ? Interested in a fellow SoCal opinions on the differences.

Hey now

 

I personally like the angled better. Makes for a sleeker look since they don’t stick out as far.
I had some with fill plates on my Tacoma and some without on a different Tacoma.. if I add them to the runner I’d go without.
I didn’t find I stepped on them much with or without the plates unless I was washing the roof and at that point it didn’t matter.

 

I think with the snow/ice we get here in the winter I would feel much better having my wife step on a fill plate over a bar.
I now agree, angled does look better. It matches the truck better in my eyes.

Guess it’s hit and miss. one could be beneficial here and the other more so there lol
We don’t have much for snow and ice here so it’s not at all an issue

 

I really like it up here. I lived in SoCal almost all of my 41 years. I had enough. Tired of the traffic and the crowds mainly but it's also changed a lot in the last 20 years.

It's still busy up here, but there's more open space. You can find spots where you're all alone if you want.

I have forest, beach, and mountains all close to one another so there are a lot of outdoor recreational activities to do.

 

First, I swapped out all interior lights to LED. Huge improvement.

Second, I swapped the front turn signals and marker lights To LED. Huge improvement.

Next, I installed the Sequential Turn Signals and Meso Puddle Lights. I watched the YouTube video beforehand and it seemed simple enough. The Meso Puddle Lights are super bright, however, the housings suck. The holes for the screws are not quite big enough so putting everything back together was a PITA. The driver’s side kinda kicked my ass but the passenger side was super easy just like in the video.

Next, I installed N-Fab step bars.

Next, I hooked up my Carista module to customize all of the settings and eliminate some of those annoying chimes.

Last (for today), I installed my Pedal Commander. I did not have time to take it out and test drive it to find the right setting but I will test it out the next time I drive it.

That’s all for today. Still MUCH more to do but I’ll work on it when/as I can.

 

I am a cheap bastard and with the angle ups I only step on the bar. Might have got plates if it was a flat one. I really like what I chose as well...no regrets at all.
