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

They do make great steps and they do protect against door dings. Helps when washing the roof as well.

 

I really like this, would take up less space and be more organized then my tool bag I carry.

 

Adventure Tool company sells the tool roll with, or without, tools.

 

I moved mine front as far forward as it can go and the back one as far back as it can go to give most stable load support. As for wind noise, I didn't notice any wind noise increase and for gas mileage and wind resistance c-mon this can't make it much worse for such aerodynamic SUV.

 

Upgraded the shifty things. +7 HPs at 0 RPMs.

 

Complete paint correction and detail after several months of trail runnings....

 

Ordered LED bulbs for the 4Runner...

• Headlights
• Taillights

Also ordered the same for my wife's vehicle as well

Once I get those in I will provide a side by side comparison (as if it hasn't been done a million times to show the difference)

 

Weekend away at a lacrosse tournament, didn't do anything to the 4R but the kid that has helped me do everything to the 4R wanted his picture taken in front of it with his hardware for winning their division. I guess I made it a backdrop

 

I like it

 

Check out LFD Crossbars. I like mine. You can start with a couple crossbars and then eventually turn it into a full roof rack.

Tip - don't buy the bolt on wind fairing, it will flap in the wind (jack hammer the roof) around 80mph. The integrated wind fairing is better it doesn't flap in the wind.

 

Thanks! These look like they sit close to the roof do I'm wondering if I can put a cargo box on them without the clamp thingy that wraps around the bar hitting the roof when loosened to install or remove.

 

Finally got around to installing the rear sliding cargo deck I picked up last month.

 

Added TRD Pro grille Black out all the Chrome Now just waiting on the Wheels, Tires and Kings to come in.

 

not missed it one bit. lol I do miss the crowd here so figured I'd swing by.
Enjoying the GX460 more and more every day. It is more luxurious, cruises way nicer and quieter, audio is light years ahead (even for stock system), I still get better gas mileage lol Tows like a beast! The big ole v8 has so much bottom end torque that it does not care one bit when trailer is attached. Never feels sluggish. On highway I am sitting at 1700rpm doing 65mph and getting north of 14mpg (4runner did 9-10 mpg). When not towing I am averaging 18-19mpg combined, 22-24 highway.

 

Plasti Dipped the garnish on my grill. I tried vinyl first but it didn't turn out well (I did manage to successfully do the chrome bars on the grill in vinyl). the dip was easy and looks pretty good. we will see how it lasts. it was my first attempt at both.

 

Very cool..wish mine had this. How hard was the install?

 

Gave each driveshaft zerk a few pumps of that delicious cherry flavored Mobil 1 synthetic grease.


*disclaimer: Mobil 1 synthetic grease may or may not actually be cherry flavored, but it is a nice shade of red

*disclaimer 2: I do not recommend tasting Mobil 1 synthetic grease

 

Really hope I don't miss the GX too much once I take delivery of mine. I know wife is going to be pissed. It really is great, I just want more tech in the car.

 

Bought a matching spare wheel/tire finally. Black Rhino Warlord + Wildpeak AT3W. Also had a Bilstein 5160 replaced under warranty. Yay. Necessary, but not necessarily fun stuff!

 

Installed interior LED lighting upgrade kit. 14 of 16 fixtures installed. Still have the puddle lights to do at some point. What a difference!

Easy install?

 

Dropped off my Rago MOLLE panels and shelf to get powder coated. Opted to not go traditional black...stay tuned

 

Yes. Very easy install. Probably used a lighter touch than needed in hindsight, but was afraid to break a lens or frame. Came with a plastic removal tool, but I ended up using my Swiss army keychain screwdriver/file more.

 

Not today, but I recently put the TRD pro roof rack on my SR5 4WD. I get criticism for these racks but I just really love the look of them. Overall I just wanted the option to put my luggage up there and this rack will do fine for that purpose.

 

Received the 5-gallon Wavian Jerry Can I had ordered...and now trying to figure out where in the hell I'm going to mount this at on my vehicle. *laughs*

I also finally received the last* skid plate on my list: Rear Diff skid. Hopefully I have better luck installing it than I did the T-case skid.

*Until I suddenly decide that I need the LCA and link skids

 

My GFC Superlite RTT got delivered. I installed it myself

 

New wheels

 

Just installed my traction mats on the basket. Will install locks and re-install the shovel. Likely cruise the Mall later!

 

Nice set up! What is your opinion on the Rockpower panels? I have been contemplating those and the portable power station. Living in the desert, I have concerns about using a solar controller, and in reality most likely do not need one. Thanks!

 

Looks good. I don't think you can even buy the Superlite anymore due to material cost and supply
