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

Is that price for full blades or just new rubber inserts?

 

That price is just the rubber refills. Takes about 5 minutes to replace the rubber on the existing Toyota blades. I've been doing it for the last 4 years with good results. You can buy a lot of refills for the price of a set of complete blades. I also replace the rubber in the rear blade. A couple of $$ compared to buying a $12-15 Toyota replacements. Keep a spare set of refills in the runner along with a gallon of windshield juice - just in case. Used to have a 64 mile interstate round trip to work and with winter and NE Ohio salt it was a good thing to have - especially the windshield fluid.

 

Do the dealers install the inserts for free or do they tack on a labor charge?

 

Since I bought mine used, it didn't have factory wiper blades. If the Bosch prove insufficient over time I'll look into new OEM blades.

 

Never had the dealer do the the blade refills. I would imagine it would be a cost, but with dealers service you never know. Personally I would never pay to have refills replaced. It only takes a couple of minutes/blade - not difficult.

Yeah, I replace the inserts for my GF's CRV. Easy as pie.

However, since dealer's love to pad their labor profits via upselling, I wouldn't be surprised if inserts + labor $ > new blades $

 

Mine doesn’t. They just go out there pull the strips out slide the new ones on and done.

 

We got 6" of rain the weekend I bought the Bosch wipers. No complaints yet. We'll see how they handle all the salt, sand and windshield defroster. But I don't anticipate any trouble. There's always a few things I'll never skimp on. Wiper blades and Tires are 2 of them.

 

New winter shoes this year. 255 75 17 Firestone Winterforce LT

 

I have the ICS mount installed, I was able to get a few more RAM Mounts, the middle for my walkie-talkie, and the last arm for either an iPad Mini with Gaia or the Garmin OVerlander (still haven't figured out which one I want to go with...)

FYI, If you have the ICS mount, RAM has a B size "RAM Track Ball with T-Bolt Attachment" ($11.99) that is 500 times easier to install instead of the screw-on mount. It also makes it easier for you to move the mount on the fly without tools which is an extra bonus.

 

Wish I can have that price here in CO;

 

I thought you meant Total was $28.99.. LoL

I think I paid over $30+ each for Bosch Envision wiper blades last year.

 

I like being able to see clearly.

YMMV

 

I like the idea of these mounts. I’m seriously considering the rago version, but the extra USB ports are really nice on yours!

 

Bro, go for the USB ports. It hurts a little for the extra expense, but the ability to power devices up-top and liberate the controls is fantastic, especially when you are wheeling and want to adjust your controls. No pesky wires to get in the way.

 

I believe it! Do you know if there is a way to mount a CB mic mount on yours? It’s one of the reasons Im drawn to the Rago

 

Got my 275/70/17 AT3’s installed. This is my 3rd vehicle that I have had them installed on and they are a fantastic tire IMO. Ordered a 1” Cornfed spacer which will level it out nicely.

 

They look really good.

Wish Falkens would to some R&D to keep the weight down. Not sure why they are heavier than Load E tire

 

Looks good. I wonder if they will fit without much issues on a TRD Pro stock height since it already has about 1" of lift.

Did you get P rated or LT?

 

I think they fit standard 4runners with no lift. I'll be installing a set soon as my ORP arrives.

And I likely won't have my lift for a couple more months lol. Hopefully they clear.

 

Just spent 2 hours driving in torrential downpour. Wipers work perfectly. Now, if only lane paint was actually reflective. No where near as reflective as when I was younger.

 

Thank you for ordering your spacers though me! If anyone else needs spacers, feel free to contact me!

 

They come with new nuts that have to be used. The OEM top hat nuts are not threaded all the way through. Every front top hat kit comes with them as a standard.

 

The supplied lock nuts are more than sufficient.

 

mind sharing what caps you pieced together? Im diggin how yours turned out.
I too am exploring this
At the moment my mock up version is in pic as a mock up without either blacking the wheels or going the decal route… pic of that also attached.

 

Well I almost drove home in a CPO '19 Limited Nightshade today. Unfortunately, one of the sales managers sold it to an out of state phone buyer while I was on the test drive. So that's cool. There's one other '19 Limited Nightshade 4x4 where I am that I looked at Wednesday but that one had a deposit put on it today. If they back out tomorrow, I'm just going to pull the trigger on that one.

 

They should fit fine since mine is a stock suspension currently. These are C load. You can definitely tell there is some extra weight, but my HikeIt throttle controller that will be here tomorrow will fix that. Another thing I noticed is they are smoother than the Nitto's. Less bouncy. They are firmer over expansion joints.

 

I've never used them, but hundreds have with not many issues as far as I could tell in my research. I figured its a cheap option to get 1" or I could pay $1500+ for a new suspension for 2". I didn't want 285's nor a brand complete suspension. It was worth the $49 to see what it looks like.

 

Got my 2011 back that my son borrowed for a week, Handed wash and handed dried it.

 

Delivered 3 months ago, I finally installed the Artec roof rack!
