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

Looks good! I actually did mine as well this weekend. I used HyperDip and it turned out great, much better than PlastiDip.

 

What springs did you order? The 2.5 or 3” fronts? Im really close to ordering but it seems they all run high...

 

Which Hyperdip?

 

Do you think dip will last longer or be easier to touch up than a good enamel spray paint?

 

Did you get the Hercules????? Your thoughts?

 

Just signed up and completed my dual battery and fridge set up. Built the platform myself instead of buying one.

 

Nice. Went with the Matte Grey w/ Falkens.

 

I went with Shadow Black on rims and center caps then did the Toyota emblems in Anthracite to make it stand out a little.

 

The HyperDip seems a lot more durable than the original PlastiDip and has a smoother texture similar to paint (doesn’t feel like textured rubber), but I bet an enamel will be more durable.

 

She didn’t mention anything. I just know it looks good. She has LED light bar running across the top and that really sets it off too.

 

Finally picked her up and brought it home

 

Installed an insert for the door panel, from Amazon to make the space a little more useful. Also got my nerf bars in from N-Fab. slightly amusing story...they were supposed to come in just before we left for a week at the beach but ran late so I had them diverted to our rental. Arrived today and I put them on in between runs to the beach. Kept the neighbors entertained for a few minutes

 

After running two fuse taps to the inside fuse box on my 2021 TRD Pro, I realized you can't install the original fuse cover with fuse map. I wanted to cover the fuse box to give it a cleaner look. I believe I found a thread on this forum that talked about a replacement fuse box cover that accommodated one with fuse taps. It's an eBay item so I purchased it and installed it today. I had to trim two corners of the new cover to make it fit and I think it looks good. I checked each fuse title and they match up with the original cover. In case you're wondering, I used the IGN No.2 fuse for a relay switch to toggle my Raptor lights and the ACC fuse for the DRL on my AlphaRex Nova headlights. The load side is correct for both taps. I checked with Voltmeter with ignition in ON position.

Meh, good luck with that one. I had a black one. It would fall off. I didn't even keep it for a year.

 

How do you like the door insert? Does it look like it will stay secure?
I’ve been looking at those.

 

I bet having a wire tap behind the cigarette lighter might be much better option than the fuse box.

In my case the wire tap behind the cigarette lighter powers dashcam, gmrs radio, 2 additional usb chargers, lightbar relay switch, front camera display unit.

 

I used 2 sided tape to hold my inserts in place. Don't need them disappearing into the car wash vacuum.

 

it comes with double sided trim tape on the bottom and side, locks in pretty solid.

 

Eibach TRD PRO Coil Springs (larger tires next up)

 

Had a pleasant surprise waiting for me when we got back home today. I was hoping to go ahead and get these mounted on my rig today, but, even though the order page showed the TPMS sensors were coming with the wheels, they're actually coming in a separate shipment that should arrive on Saturday.

Really looking forward to seeing how these will look mounted up, and then again how they'll look once I've got some 33s to wrap them in. Finally made up my mind on that too: I'm going to purchase some Kenda Klever R/T in 33x10.50r17.

 

3" front, 2" back both performance load

 

Are canvasback orders super delayed right now? I should have ordered sooner but I procrastinated.

 

Front fenders at center of wheel were sitting at ~39" on Sunday just after putting it all on but I'll measure when I get home to see how much it has settled.

 

thanks. Did you mean 3.9 inches?

 

How would you say it has effected/impacted the ride quality?

 

Just checked. 4-5 weeks. Oof

 

Could try the for sale section on the forums. I recall seeing a few.

 

If you call them up you can pay to expedite your order. Instead of 4-5 weeks it will be a maybe only 1 week.

 

Wow good to know. I will try that.

 

C4 bumper finally arrived (March order). It's at the powder coater now so it'll be a few weeks then install time. Wanted to do a bronze on the bumper itself but nothing came close enough to my wheels so black it is w/slight texture to match the schrockworks sliders. On the lookout for bronzed recovery d-rings for the accents. Looking forward to it all being installed and might go with the additional side angled pieces for more clearance next year.
