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

Installed new DuroBumps bump stops!

 

Wow .. just look at it (if you know that reference, we have similar taste in comedy). Nonetheless, THANK YOU!

 

Nice ... I have something similar from my old pathfinder for the top... like the VS reel.

 

Was it hard to install these additional floor/under dash lights? … Where did you purchase?

 

Pre ordered the GFC Superlite RTT...now the wait til spring time

Installation is easy, remove 4 bolts on the seat, lift up and connect everything under the seat. There is a White plug that has ignition On/ Ground.

Under Dash, feed-thru fuse on left kick panel and use INJ fuse.

Took mine into the local dealer about the steering wheel peeling. The manager wasn’t available so I’m still waiting to hear. The tech or reception person took pictures. Would anyone who had the same problem and had Toyota fix it be willing to share their service record with me? Want to have some backup ammo if they try and deny a warranty claim. Thanks in advance

 

Let me look through my paperwork tonight to see if I can find the info.

 

Appreciate it

 

I had an email this morning about an Entune update enabling Alexa on my 2018 SR5 Premium, love it! I'm an Amazon Music subscriber and I was able to play everything from Burl Ives, to The Pogues! The voice assistant has worked flawless so far, asked for the weather and driving directions ect.

 

Only took 6 months to come in but the Gobi rack is definitely worth the wait.

 

did you update it your self or had to take it in to the dealer ?

 

mine's still stock, no parts available in Canada

 

It was actually yesterday, but anyways – brought it home:

 

Not much has changed since the 5th gen started production in 2010. Parts are definitely available in Canada

 

I put it in 4H for the first time A bit of snow and lots of ice everywhere. Could not go straight up on a steep hill without her ass going side to side.
Not sure how “amazing” these Falkens are in snow and ice as there was A LOT of ice...

 

Nothing is good on ice besides maybe a studded tire. Just a little info for you to keep in the back of your mind. You're supposed to cycle 4wd and drive in 4wd 15 miles per month. I usually just wait for a rainy day and drive to or from work in 4wd and good to go.

 

how fast did you go

 

Bought my rear ladder from this company in Canada.

You might read some of @oldtoyotaguys posts, specifically the following one. He's my favorite Canuck.

The iPhone had no flash so it might look like I’m about to hit 88mph, I was doing about 30mph.

 

Was your rear end going sideways in 2wd or 4wd or both?

 

@DRobs
In 2H, no sliding in 4H.

 

Well that's what 4wd is for. Figure you have a 5000lb rear wheel drive vehicle, add in an icy incline, and that's what happens with non-snow tires.

 

I am not sure what or where this was peeling but my cousin just took his is and first thing out of the Service managers mouth was hand sanitizer caused it....

 

Wow. That looks quite amazing - it might be the only picture I need to help make a decision. I removed the old Baja rack and plan to sell that this spring to go toward a new (maybe Gobi?) rack. Is the top of the ladder attached with a swing arm of the sorts for opening/closing the rear cargo area? How was the install? Did you use any sort of RTV or other sealant?

 

Very nice! Now don't get rid of it - ever.

 

Not 100% a truly snow tire, however, the Falken Wildpeak A/T3W has the 3PMSF symbol, which makes it better than the stock tires in snow/ice conditions, and probably better than all all-season non AT tires.

 

Crossed the Bear yesterday. Probably a foot of snow there today. This week's storm is going to close most of the roads until Spring.

 

That is a good looking 4Runner. Spot on with everything
