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

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.

 

thanks for this suggestion. I ordered these and put them on this morning. It was very easy and this video helped give me a clear look at where to pry the lens covers off.

Enamel model paint. Use it on firearms as well.

 

nah, What ever your mom left on the night stand.

 

Oof..!
Well done, FTW.

 

Looks fine to me, Then again, I like them ass high!

Sounds like Charlievee likes them ass high as well

 

Lmao

 

The front bumper will get lights (currently determining which lights to get). In regards to where the suspension is at. Nope, no plans at all. Keeping it the way it is. The part that concerns me the most is the axle boots but honestly that is not a high concern of mine.

 

Check this out. I've been using this setup for a few months. It's great. https://www.4runners.com/threads/do...res-how-mostly-applies-to-all-cars-too.20189/

 

Look for the new 1/24 scale Trailrunner. It's a lot less expensive than the 1/10 scale Trailrunner. It's not a true licensed 4Runner, but it's pretty close.

 

Thanks. I bought it on September 27th last year and I only have 2,500 miles on it. I have a company car that I drive during the week so I only drive the 4Runner on the weekends.

 

Installed an upTOP Bravo and light bar. Waiting on a KC wire hider to finish up the light bar, but digging it so far.

 

Now we wait.

 

Why new tpms sensors?

 

Probably will sell the old set up. Figured I would keep them on the old.

 

Are those michelin defenders? Are you lifted. Do they rub? Thanks. Bob

 

Is this an extra battery set up?

 

Picked up 2021 Venture Yesterday only 4 Miles Old - Nautical Blue Metallic all Blacked Out
Dealer installed five 265/70R17 Goodyear Duratrac Tires - Looks Great
Added:
TRD Radiator Cap and 5W30 Oil Cap
Yellow Fog Light Covers - Easy to Install
AEM Dry Air Filter
Red LEDs - All Interiors, and doors (except under visors). I added some reflective tape inside the 4 door lights.
White LEDs - License Plate, Visors and much brighter Backup Bulbs
Pedal Commander PC 27
Chrome Grill Strip Covers - Matte Black is Perfect - No More Chrome!
Center Console Tray with iPhone 12 Pro Max with MagSafe Charger with 20W 12V Adapter - It really works
Tri-Color Grill Badge (Blue) for Accents
Fire Extinguisher wrapped in cloths fits in with the jack.
Red 3M Diamond Tape on Door Indents - I do this with all my cars for safety at night

I was surprised to get the Black TRD Pro Wheels, and not the Gun Metal Grey Wheels. Also got a rubber rear cargo mat, cargo net and first aid kit.

First Impressions: It rides much more smoothly than my 2 previous FJ's (tires are actually quiet) and the wife doesn't refer to driving it as "Driving a Queen Size Mattress" anymore. Some 60mph wind noise from the basket deflector, but that was to be expected. Might remove the basket if not used.

Have not had time to check out the Pedal Commander yet.

Update: Pedal Commander didn't really do much, until I switched it to Sport Mode, and immediately got a Check Engine Light - Reduced Power Mode - See Dealership - Crap! I pulled over and disconnected it and its back to normal again. Hopefully no damage done. Sending that unit back. Maybe Toyota is aware of these 3rd party "Hacks" and is disabling them, who knows.
