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

How does caster affect drive feel /handling?

 

It will tighten up the steering wheel. It tracks straighter down the road with less wander from side to side at highway speeds. Steering wheel snaps back to center quicker after turning at lower speeds.

 

Thanks! Sounds like a win win! Thanks for your knowledge as always.

 

Anytime!

It's cheaper to just cut/bend/mold/remove the mudflaps..........but since you need to get alignments from time to time (yearly is probably minimum) might as well get a lifetime alignment, push your caster forward to get rid of the rub, improve road handling, and keep your mudflaps.

 

Finally finished my Toytec lift. I think I’m finally done with everything. That is till something else cool comes out

 

Put my Halloween skeleton back on lol

 

Put a sign on it. "POTUS 2020, vote for Bones here"

 

Just to get back on track: a little flare added yesterday while doing the fenders...


Next up: some armor: skid and rails, maybe some upgraded fog bulbs.

 

Gobi ladder installed not sure what rack I’m going with yet!
Rago panels on both sides.

 

My RCI skid plate finally arrived, so did the LFD 7/8 roof rack. It's been a busy couple of evenings after work

 

Just finished putting on Baja designs fog lights and rear window Molle storage by Victory4x4

 

Did you ever get the chance to get this platform wrapped? Would love to see the final product! I’m thinking of doing something similar, might even follow your DIY. Thanks for the details!

 

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.
