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

Yup, I just painted the SR5 rims gloss black.

 

I hate the factory SR5 rims. When painted, I love them. It is weird how different it makes them. I had to zoom in to see what they were.
Looks very nice!

Siri replies like that if you tell her "LOL"

 

This was a pain in the ass. I would have paid quite a bit for a damn Gen 5 Stealthbox.

Keep in mind if you ever decide to try this, the wheel wells are not symmetrical in width.

 

Larger size does not mean higher pressure. I run 295/70/17 on an 8" wheel and I run my rears at 30 PSI fronts at 32 PSI and that gives me a good contact patch. If you only went from a 265 up to a 275, about 34 PSI will likely get you where you want to be.

 

I had budbuilt rock sliders and a differential breather relocation kit installed.

 

It's in all the Premium trims.

SR5 Premium and OR Premium get the faux leather and power seats.

 

LOL, "dirty interior."


My 2016 looked like that for maybe three years. I still try to keep it clean, but sand, pine sap, and desert pinstriping cannot be denied.

 

2.5” front 2” rear 295/70/17 on 17x8 FX Pro wheels.

 

I have KO2s in 275 and stay around 35 psi for normal back forth stuff. Down to 30 if I’m going to the lake or somewhere not paved/highway

 

Looks real good. Do you have any rubbing, and did you do a body mount chop?

 

Thank you. No rubbing and no BMC. Just pushed the liner forward and trimmed the bumper skin.

 

Assuming the same size rim: LT tires require more pressure than Passenger tires of the same size, however larger tires don't require as much pressure as smaller tires (tires with less volume of air)

For instance, I had the ST Maxx in 285/75R16 on 8" wide rims and ran them around 28 PSI on my Tacoma. I also had that same tire in 255/80R17 on 7" wide rims and needed to run them closer to 40 PSI. It was a tradeoff of lighter wheels but harsher ride.

 

Yes. What i was trying to say is that the larger tire required less air pressure because it has more air volume.

 

Installed a sweet front valence I got off Amazon for $80, completed a voltage booster mod for my AGM battery setup, and discovered I have beautiful rust bucket under the bumper and radiator lol fml...plz help

you wouldnt happen to have a link to that valance would you?

 

This was the Valence I got. Guess they are out now though... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N1MPEFS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

@A&P hope this helps

 

No, just passing it on. Another member, @Chris In Milwaukee shared it when I did my install

 

Just bought the MoriMoto rear lights for the Gen5.. excited to see how it'll look

 

Went on a quick road trip to Asheville last night. Met up with a really cool dude and picked up a front runner full length rack.



Slight hiccup in all the parts being there but the guy was super cool and messaged me this morning. He is getting them to me so I can get it installed.

 

Finally got around to the DRL "delete".

 

What is the DRL delete? Does your 4Runner not have the option to turn them off?

 

DRL's are stupid. Not a fan of sitting, listing to the radio while parked and choosing between blinding myself by turning the headlights off or blinding others in the parking lot. Now i can just turn on the marker lights like before the nanny state.

 

I get that. At least there's an off switch though. I had a car that I needed to modify the wiring to disable the DRLs without tripping the SES (service electrical soon) light. I had also added a switch to turn on the dash lights with dimming.

 

Installed an LED light to my Bull Bar recently and it is amazing. I don't use it for normal night driving, but on a country road or on the trail, it lights up everything. Amazing brightness! Installed my self and found an OEM switch online.

 

On the 4Runner, i usually have the dash lights very dim. I also added the auto dimming sensor. I miss the orange lighting my Tacoma had. The white is too much at night.

 

Think about how bright the daytime/lights off setting is. Thats why i killed the DRL's, because i feel like a tool, parked with headlights on.

 

4 hours so worth it. The button looks like came from the factory. The camera button has a blue backlight.

 

Just make sure the view is not reversed. Simple fix, but wasn't expecting it.
