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

Finally got my KO2s and Cornfed 2/1 installed at the dealership. Couldn't be happier! And am still happy rocking the full 7/8 LFD roof rack.

 

Looks good congrats on the upgrades.

 

Does the 5th gen have double overhead cams?

 

Looks great! Thank you for your purchase! If anyone is looking for a kit, feel free to send me a PM I am a dealer and keep all kits in stock. All kits ship same or next day and I ship FREE anywhere in the US including AK and HI!

 

These look nice, the only thing that concerns me is the sensitivity being 83db. Do you find that you have to set the volume past half-way to listen normally during normal driving? I would love to find out the sensitivity of the stock speakers. The stock radio does not seem very powerful so it must not be very low.

 

Not sure about sensitivity specs on stock speakers. I was concerned about the loudness too after reading all the complaints about the stock system. But I think that it matched up really well. Sound stage is just right and speakers blend in well with the system. I’d say that their linear loudness overlays well with the door speakers - meaning they’re at appropriate levels across the volume range. Is your head unit same as the Off road premium one? There was an update in 2020 head units and I think that TRDOP is different, too.

 

As someone without kids, I certainly don't want to hear kids in my car. Hell, I know people *with* kids that might want this upgrade

 

Lol iPhone autoscrew gets me every time

 

I could be wrong, but I think the head unit is the same for 4Runs 2014-2019 except for the JBL system in Limited. The head units in the 2020s were upgraded. I wonder if the speakers were upgraded as well. I will look for a pair of JLs to compare, now I'm curious

 

Took a picture from the upper bank on a hike.

 

In editing the outing video I have realized that I need more articulation

 

Is this a Gobi rack?

 

Gave her a good wash this evening. I'm seriously thinking of plastidiping the front and rear valences this weekend.

 

Today our 4runner got is first trial of towing. I had work to do & my truck is still in the shop. I just took my 36" for weight but had 3 big yards to aerate. It pulled like a champ. Left it in S4 & let it do its thing. I am happy with it! Not sure on the weight of the setup. 14' trailer... I loved the roll down back window!
13 miles of aerating... I am exhausted!

 

I installed the Diode Dynamics “Tail as Turn” harnesses in the rear tail lamps tonight. Took all of about 15 minutes and that’s only because I watched the video first. Super easy and they work exactly as advertised.

 

I need to do this for my wife. I think it is much safer for the larger light to be flashing.
Congratulations & thanks!

 

Just put some new shoes on the new ride.

These damn 4runners. I have a fun, short little trail I do that has a few hills with some technical portions, mud hole (at times), and some off-camber hillside portions (it is a short little trail, but fun).

I did this trail with the stock tires (our 2020 TOR is used). It did fabulous (we have owned it for 5 days). Just swapped out the tires to stock size wild peaks. Holy balls, this rig is fabulous. We won't be lifting it (leveling yes, in a year or so). This thing with these new tires, holy crap.

This pic is just before the trail ride.

 

Whereabouts in New York are you? Cooperstown here and I head up that way regularly as my buddy has a cabin in the Adirondacks. I also am in an off-road club in the Catskills.

 

I'm up in Plattsburgh. About as far from any offroading you could be unfortunately lol

 

Phew... finally! Got worried for a bit also, because they appeared to have been lost in Illinois for a couple days, then when they showed up the box looked like this... (torn wide open)

Thankfully no damage and no missing parts.

 

Wayyyyyy up north! I have a good friend who works at the hospital in Plattsburgh. Too far north for me!

 

Installed the Canvasback cargo Matt with the 20” Bumper flap. Still waiting on the gobi ladder. Ordered it eight weeks ago.

Just ordered the URD Mark3 Cat-back Exhaust.

 

Yes same goes for 4th, 3rd, 2nd, and 1st gen

 

Nicely done!

How's it ride?

 

Still pending the outcome. Front's all back together, but waiting to wrap up with some work stuff this morning, then a quick/rough alignment in the front so it's at least good enough for a test drive around the block. Have an appointment early tomorrow for full proper alignment (or more so to double check my DIY work).

Then heading out for a weekend on the trails

 

Good deal! Keep us posted.

 

Thanks for the reminder, I replaced mine today.

 

Fresh detail. Just ordered new headlight bulbs (h11 Ge nighthawk xenon +120- the best reviewed on tacoma world) and a couple skids Next up is rsg sliders and dd ss3 fogs, then hopefully 5100/eibach 1” rear in months down the road

 

Tire type?

 

275.70.17 falken wildpeaks at3w. yes rub, had to push liner and trimp front bumper edge. Still have intermittent rub on the backside of left front on the mudflap. May press down with heat gun until i lift than get some more caster.

You'll read a lot on this tire size on here, and the truth is its probably 50/50 whether you will rub or not. Don't believe anything else otherwise.
