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

So far, it is very smooth. Fronts are the 2.5 Fox DSC Ext travel tuned by Accutune; rear is Fox 2.0 with adjusters also tuned by Accutune, Dobinson 1" coil springs. Looking forward to seeing how it handles some rough forest roads, routes, and a few small whooped out areas, this weekend.

 

Accutune sounds like a great way to go! Thanks for the update!

 

It's really just differences in alignment that cause rubbing issues with 275's and stock wheels. Some people have their caster further forward and have no issues rubbing with 275's. Some have their caster further back and it rubs on the mudflap. Your caster is set too far back.

*Disclaimer - With Pro wheels, you do have the potential to rub on the front fender liner/flare, but Pro's come with the fender liner mod so that should be expected when purchasing those wheels (or any others with the same specs)*

 

Yeah understood- so is that to say that the factory alignment on any given NEW 4runner, or wherever final alignment is done, is not the same?! Which is both crazy, but also really understandable at the same time...

 

rotated tires, bitched at dealer about no followup 2 weeks after going to start case to replace steering wheel...

 

I imagine they set them to the same numbers at the factory, or within reasonable tolerances. There are a lot of places alignment numbers can change though. Loading and unloading off ships and trucks and test drives are a couple that come to mind. Then you have people driving on and offroad a few thousand miles after their purchase and altering suspensions before they go to get another alignment. It falls out of alignment surprisingly quickly.

 

That's funny, but glad you figured it out

 

Led for reverse lights

 

Well went a different route with tires. Yes I could have got the ToyoAT3 from somewhere else since my tire guy could not get them. So I gave him the tester back and had him get me the Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Also they just put in hunter road force balancing machine. I was nervous putting these on since they could not get my Falkens balanced and I returned them. That machine did a awesome job on balancing them. These tires do not ride bad at all. They do look awesome!!

 

Another one!!

 

One more. Also removed the roof rails. Liking the smooth top!!

 

I don’t know why yours look so much different than mine lol

 

I hate my Pro rack too. Im thinking of finding someone to trade out. I like the last style better.

 

You can see mine above. I removed Pro rack no use for it. Sold it. And now just removed the black roof rails I had on. No need for them. I like the smooth top better. I don’t use the roof for anything. But I am holding onto the black rails Incase I would decide to add them back on.

 

sell it for $350 and get a real rack

 

Pre winter tire/ rim prep. Power wash, tire foam cleaner, 303 on the rubber. Rims were ceramic coated new so topped it off with spray ceramic.
1 down, 3 more to go

 

Nice

where’s that at?

 

that was in Big Bend a couple weekends ago just finally got time to post haha

 

I was gonna say that looks like BB ranch state park.
I’ll be there next month for my once a year visit

 

Looks awesome! Love the bronze wheels. I’m partial but the army green in the sunlight is the best color ever in my opinion. In person it’s an awesome color in the sun! Looks great man! Nice job

 

Man I love those wheels! I want a set for mine

 

Installed Pro grill.

 

Silver 2020 hood, no scoop. Not mine.

I know people seem to want these after reading the whole damn thread!

$100

 

Which one did you go with

 

I don't mind the skewp on my 4Runner. When I had my Taco, i traded for a non-skewped hood because of the glare.

 

OEM

 

Thanks dude!! Yeah I’m loving it. Been working on my next project today. I will finish it up tomorrow. Added my Bajadesigns 20 led light bar. Next will be amber fog lights to match.

 

Went to discount tires and had them put on my wheels and tires. Thought I might wait it out and let my stock tires wear down a bit, but the wheels and tires have been sitting in the garage since the sale of my 2017 SR5.

And also did the last chrome delete by putting in black sequential side mirror turn signals.

 

Big project! ha ha Crawled underneath and gave the U-joints and slip shafts a few squirts of grease. even though we have only 2000 miles on it, what can it hurt? Now I have peace of mind and the dealership doesn't have to do it on it's first service..... you can rely on the dealerships, right?
