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

One month, ordered through pure 4runner

 

Mason approved of the order today

 

And so it begins

 

Reminds me that all this time we have no model 4Runners. I've seen one R/C one that costs too much. Wish there is any 4Runner option with same price as other model cars.

 

Ordered the Wicked Creations roof rack. Looking forward to receiving it and getting it installed!

 

I would 100% buy a 5th gen 4Runner die cast but I've never found one. Seems Hot Wheels and Match Box just make outlandish stuff now. Also maybe I'm old now so I'm not exactly their target audience haha

 

Picked up a set of '10-'13 trail edition rails. Took them apart and now to clean them and freshen up the paint. Waiting on the mounting hardware kit which is of course on a national back order

 

Today I washed, clay bar, waxed, and 303 the outside and I also detailed the inside of both my wife’s van and my 4Runner. Cars looked just as clean as when we bought them. I think it looks good for 10 hours of labor for both cars.:

 

Looking good

 

If she can find a 5th Gen 4Runner in Quicksand I'll pay double haha

 

That’s one tuff looking 4Runner!

 

Installed the TRD Pro replica grill, the tri-color grill badge, and had a full size spare (285/70/17 tire on a TRD Pro wheel) mounted for the spare.

 

Where'd you pick up the grille badge?

Thank you.

 

What type of paint did you use?

 

Where did you have this made?

 

Installing my shoevel onto the roof rack with a bungee and secured with a cable lock.

 

Does the rear look like it's sitting too high? I have the Dobinson's C59-325 springs, which are supposed to give me 2~2.25" of lift, but I suspect it's more than that. I had also installed the 15mm (0.6") poly spacers aiming for about 2.6" lift in case the springs were on the lower side (2") of possible lift.

Edit: The front is about 2.5" of lift.

 

It's dangleit.com

 

Hard to tell because your driveway looks like is angling downward making the rear sit higher and the front lower than it would on level ground.

 

Nope I think it looks good. You plan on towing anything or having weight in the back? You will want the little extra height. But honestly it is up to you. Better than having a reverse rake when towing something heavy.

 

probably his sister’s nail polish

 

This is what it looked like before the new tires.

 

It's all personal preference.

If it was my truck, I'd take out the spacer because there is a lot of room between the tire and the fender in the rear. Again, that's just me though. I like my truck level. Others like rake.

 

My goal was the keep the factory rake, 2.5" lift front and rear. I also wonder if the spacers are the cause of the slight pogo effect I get from the rear.

 

Could be.

Most of the reports I've seen from Dobs coils is that they provide the advertised lift, or a little higher. You might already have 2.5" of lift back there with just the coils.

 

I think I'll take them out when I get a chance.
