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

My current 4 Runner sold in 19 for $44,957 and now the same one with the same options is $47,857 and its because of the tech packages as I didn't have all the pedestrian radar, cross traffic radar, lane departure warning and adaptive cruise control etc:

 

I have yet to see the SB other than this.

Whats funny when we had the service manager in on this yesterday he said there might be another 800K to 1.2 million added according to issues with new model years so who really knows what will be affected in the future or past.....

 

Drove the Montana Mountain loop outside of Mesa AZ. 29 miles more or less. 1/3 easy desert driving through suagoro, prickly pear and teddy bear cacti; desert grasses, creosote, and mesquite. Then some climbing along canyons into pine, juniper, and occasional mesquite. Up over steep rutty rock into miles of very tight rocky sandy steep switchbacks, descending back into the Sonoran desert to hiway 60.

Oh, and collected another bag of assholes' trash.

 

Having lived in Arizona; I am very jealous of your surroundings as apposed to here...
Congratulations!

 

I don't get it as Toyota is selling and building 4 runners with these fuel pumps why cant they use the pumps being used for the new builds.....

 

I wonder if it’s the same pump used in Tacoma’s? Those are under a big fuel pump recall right now, so if that’s the case, that’s likely where the backorder exists.

If they’re still building 4Runners, I’d imagine they use just in time logistics; where as they have just enough earmarked to keeping production running, with everything else allocated to recalls and repairs.

 

This could be the issue but as it was explained to me is the supply chain and COVID issues with production back logs I’m wondering if there will be lots of issues coming up....

 

Man kinda nervous about something like that happening to mine since I've noticed my mpg's have gotten a little worse as of late and my VIN is showing up on the recall

Anyway, something to fill the mod bug ordered the puddle light switch from meso, been looking forward to it since picking up the meso puddle lights last year. Had an issue with the first harness I got as it wouldn't turn on and got a second harness with better luck this time and everything works as it should. Also took the opportunity to rearrange the switches from factory. Can't wait for the map lights meso previewed recently to match the dome light.

 

My MPG”s tanked right before the fuel pump failed I went from 19 MPG to 14 MPG and about 310 from 370 miles per tank

 

that sucks I’m definitely keeping an eye on how many miles I get with this last fill up and compare it to the last tank cause I’m forsure seeing less miles despite running my lift and tires for a while now. What’s funny is that I was getting 14-15 mpg’s from the beginning when it was stock but didn’t think anything of it since I live in San Francisco constantly driving on hills and found out from other owners that are in the Bay Area getting around 16 mpg’s. I’m at 10-11 mpg’s right now guess I should of gone with my gut feeling and reported it to my dealership from the beginning. Appreciate the info good luck!

 

They look good

 

Well, The T4R will becoming home tonight now that all the BS stuff has been hammered out

 

Day 4 of adventuring. New campsite every night

 

You’re living my dream. I hope to do cross country trip through the national parks hopefully when I retire next year. Enjoy your trip and be safe.

 

Delivered

 

nice Congrats now go get it dirty

 

Finally got around to installing fog lights I purchased last year from Diode Dynamics. Pretty easy install, passenger side definitely a little harder than the driver side but still overall pretty easy. Also changed out all my interior lights to brighter LED’s. Next will be the headlights.

 

Did some well deserved maintenance on the transfercase, gears and transmission. After 104k it was time.

 

While I have had everything for my lift kit (Bilstein 5100s, 3/2 Toytec springs, differential drop, UPC UCAs, and TRD Pro wheels) for a couple of months, I did not have the tires. I finally pulled the trigger and ordered my Michelin Defender LTX 285/70/17 tires from Amazon. They are scheduled to arrive tomorrow.

I had the springs powder coated a bright red which will match the caliper covers.

I have been pretty patient up to this point but now that the tires will be here tomorrow, I cannot wait to get everything installed.

I still have a Pro grill and a cold air kit sitting in my garage that I need to install but as they say, one thing at a time.

 

Sounds to me like a lot of things at one time

 

Ordered the Eibach Stage 1 kit last night. It's for my 2016 SR5 that is basically stock right now. Being in Canada, I ordered from Lowriders. Surprised that it's not a stocked item and that I'll be waiting for about a month... Regardless, I'm happy that it's on its way.

That being said... I'm wondering if people are recommending that I install other related components like a front diff drop or a sway bar relocate??? I will be installing it at the 2.5" setting... just want to make sure that I'm not missing anything.

 

Doesn't seem to be installed properly.

 

What's really cool on the 21 4 Runner is I don't have to put the key in to lower the rear hatch window.....

 

info on the caliper covers?

 

I feel like there's so much going on in this picture. Are you in traffic - in the left turn lane - with interior lights on - taking a picture?

 

Possibly left turn lane while stopped , no interior light just flash, while sitting in the passenger seat. But you almost got it.

 

With the stage 1 kit, you're getting 2.75" lift coils in the front. You're going to want to put them on the lowest setting on the front strut so the coil is giving you the lift.

At 2.75" of total lift in front, you will not need a diff drop or sway bar relocate.

However, you might want to consider UCAs......depending on your set-up. Some people don't feel they need them, others do if they are running bigger tires and rubbing on their mudflap and/or body mount.

Do you plan on running bigger tires / aftermarket wheels as well?

 

Noting more than mid-32" for the tire size. Although I would like to have wheels close to TRD type offset... Nothing drastic for me.
