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

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.

 

I was on their site last week & saw those. What do you think of the quality? They look like a 4runner key should. Strong & durable.
Did you have to cut the key or did you use a cut blank?
Thanks,
Ryan.

 

The quality is great! Solid and comes with all of the pieces needed to get it done. It comes with a blank key that you can then take to a local hardware store and have it cut. I took mine to Ace hardware. The only pain in the ass was cutting away at my old fob to get out the chip to transfer to the new flip fob. Just follow video on their website and you are golden.

 

Long waited SSO Slimline Bumper came in last week... Coated with Anti-corrosion, put together with Smittybilt X2O 10K winch... Installed (took about 4 hours total).... Road test today in SoCal hi-desert...

 

We like them pretty well. I didn’t like the 66 because everything seemed fisheyed to me on the videos we watched. The 56 has the same capture as far as I know just not the same field of view

 

I have one on order with them. When did you order yours? Trying to get a feel on how much longer it will be.

E

 

With the recommendation of fellow member GBurd - new wheels and tires. Method 316’s wrapped in 265/70/17 KO2’s. 5100’s to come as soon as they come off back order..

 

I ordered November 10th. Just about 3months. I love it...

 

I ordered mine November 7th with powder coating. I know it’s been in the shipping queue going on 4 weeks now. I reached out last week and was told there was an issue with their boxing supplier and some staff got the Covid. I’ve also been waiting on my demello sliders.

Hoping they get shipped soon. Good to see someone got theirs.

 

I had same.. they got box last week...

 

Battery isolator and aux battery installed...everything but winch has been moved from start battery to aux battery

 

I hope that those plastic cell caps fair well under the metal hold down bracket.

 

I agree. I would consider installing blocks to lift the hold down off the caps. They would also provide more surface area to hold the battery.

 

Thanks... I just did not have any today... I will get them this week...

 

Spacers at local big box hardware store or mom/pop shop...just me tho

 

Temporary I placed wood block as spacer....

 

Solutions not excuses I like I like!!!

 

Swapping out the rear bumper!
