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

Have you checked out extreme leds? That’s who I ordered my 44” from a couple posts back. They have odd ball sizes

 

Got the "anti-blinder" installed the other day, then abused it a little.

 

@MyWyfsRnnr i looked at the sticker hi site but didnt see an option for this specifically...how did you order? thanks!

 

excellent, thanks!

 

awesome! I need to get one, is it just a flat black?

 

Got my spare switched over to to match my current nittos 285/70/17. Ordered new rear springs icon overlander, ordered two rotopax water carriers, the drinking Nozzle for one, new garmin 56 dash cam(thinkware failed me) and started planning out how we’re going to pack for Colorado.

 

Wife got them for me from a vendor on eBay. The brand is Spyder. They are the black/clear option

 

Here’s a night picture. If you get them I 100x recommend that you run a bead of RTV where the housing meets the lenses.

 

How did your Thinkware fail you?

 

Overheated to the point fragging the card

 

Hmm. I have one in my Honda and another in my Runner (the Alpine version). What did they say from a warranty perspective?

 

I took it back to Best Buy I didn’t feel like it was worth dealing with since I only had it a few days. So no clue. Best Buy didn’t even acknowledge it they just asked if I wanted a replacement or refund. I chose refund and ordered two garmins.

 

There are some things I don't like about it. The biggest being it's a PITA to access images. This isn't as big a deal as it sounds since I figure it just needs to work but I can read the card outside the system.

Oh. I should add that I have the Kenwood camera on my Tacoma. It's integrated with the head unit. Seems better quality images too.

 

Added some window visors. Mainly got them for noise reduction when cracking open windows. It helps significantly. We hardly get enough rain here in SoCal.

 

I always just crack the rear window but the window visors definitely look good against the green.

 

Looks good. What brand? Thank you.

 

And it arrived early

 

WeatherTech. Its too bad they d/c the OEM ones but these will do just fine.

 

Thanks bud. And thats actually a good idea. Also got them for aesthetic purposes

 

I took at look at their website. They look pretty secure and useful. Any concerns with them?

 

i don’t foresee them coming off unless u pull them off with a lot of force. I’ve heard from another T4R owner that one of his rear visors came off and he didn’t even notice it until he got home. Mine is holding up so far but then again it’s only a few days old lol

 

Installed custom tow hooks, super charger, 3 in RC lift, 20 in rims Nitto Ridge Grapplers, etc and just did all the brakes in Red on the 2012. Thru a couple pics of my one owner mint limited 1998 a gave my son...love the 4runners...super fun to play with and fix up super dependable!

 

Finally received my front bumper, just waiting for the winch to arrive before I open the extremely well wrapped bumper. The shipping packaging was probably the best I’ve seen, Gobi’s was just as well packed.

 

I have the same ones for about a year now. They work great and are secure so far.

 

Plans fell through on the Pro I was aiming for, so, I'm sticking with my original ORP build sans KDSS...I'm also now looking for some running boards/steps today as I found out that due to the same computer glitch that didn't show the KDSS on my build, it also didn't show ANY of my added options. So, time to nab some Nfab Nerf steps and also check on some floor and cargo liners as none of those options made it in either.

On the plus side, however. I have a delivery date for it now! It should be delivered and ready for me to pick up on March 12!

 

Added Ellis Precision Stealth black transmission and transfer case shifter handles today, along with a Salex center console organizer:

 

Installed the uni filters I bought about a year ago and kinda forgot about and then gave it a much needed bath. It’s been sitting about 3 months and was filthy.

 

Hardwired the garmin 56 in mine decided not to put the mini in the rear and put it in my wife’s. Also added predator steps to hers while her sliders are being being (she “needs” sliders to get in and out of it :eye roll: .

While I was installing her dash cam and steps she somehow managed to put some rubber inlays in all my crevices because she was tired of stuff sliding in the bare plastic. She also made me some decals for the passenger side rear windows for fire and medical.

The idea behind these is when we are with a group or out by ourselves and something goes wrong (hopefully never does) people know exactly where in my truck a fire extinguisher or trauma kit is. We actually have two kits in my truck one is in the front and is very small boo boo kit as well as an Israel’s bandage and tourniquet. The rear is has a little bit of everything for minor cuts and scrapes to keeping someone guts in them until we can get to the hospital or emergency help is on scene.

 

Been holding out for Garmin 66w. Sold out at Best Buy for 2 months straight. May just snag your model. How do you like it?

 

Meso Customs flip fob key. A fun project for a low key Saturday. Other than slowly carving away at my fob to get the chip out. Eventually got there.
