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

The regular OR has neither the homelink buttons or sunglass holder

 

Installed the Rago Fab modular dash mount. We had one in the Tundra and couldn't do with out it. Threw the old Ram mount on and waiting for an additional one for the passenger side. Not pictured but I also put in Lasfit LED turn signals and reverse lights in the rear as well as front and rear Husky X-Act Contour floor liners. Once my Alpharex Luxx lights get here I'll throw those and reuse my SS3 fogs from the Tundra.

 

Yup. My bad.

 

Can we get some front angles of how the wrap turned out?

 

Just ordered Diode Dynamics SS3 Max fogs. The stock LED fogs are pretty weak IMO. I had the pros on my Pro and they were great. So I figured I would go with the Max. And then I will probably look into the Brite Box mod. I was interested in the SSC2's for ditch lights, but I would prefer brighter lights that I can use daily. I also don't like having lights that are easily stolen. About to order the front seat jackers for no other reason than people say they make the ride more comfortable and I like to save money on things I don't need.

 

Interested in how you got the garage door opener to work with a button.

 

Nice! Does that come with the cb mike holder? And does it come with screws for mounting things. Do the screws go into captive nuts?

 

Yeah the CB mic holders are included. Each mount point has a nut below it so all you need is the proper bolt/screw to go into it. They provide 2. The ones that came with my ram mount mate right up. Installation requires a bit of drilling and removing the radio. You use nuts on the inside for the mounting screws. It wasn't a terribly difficult install and their video helps. This is the second of their products I've installed so I kinda knew what was ahead, but the video makes it a lot smoother.

 

Thanks. Ive been eyeing up this rago mount for a while now.

 

I did that that with my old garage door remote. Open up the case and find the switch that activates it. Solder two wires to the contacts and run them to a new remote switch. Stash the remote under the dash.

 

No kit - I just bought the buttons from Air on Board. Fit perfectly. Had to solder the wires onto my garage door remote. The remote is tucked under the console.

 

This is exactly how I did it too. Wish I took pictures during the process- I didn’t think about this until I put it in the truck.

 

I have the 4wd assist dials up there. No built-in garage button on the off road without the premium package.

 

That makes sense! Thanks for the info.

 

does the remote still need batteries?

 

Yes, the remote still needs batteries. They last for years, so when the time comes, I’ll pull it out and change the batteries. I am sure there is a way to permanently power it, but it wasn’t worth the time investment to me to figure that out.

 

Never been a fan of HomeLink or leaving a door opener in a vehicle. I'm always afraid of the vehicle being broken in to. If they find the opener, you might not realize it's missing until you come home to find your home has been burglarized.

 

You can minimize risk by not leaving any documentation with your home address in the glovebox, like insurance and registration.
If you’re home and you park outside, disable the garage door opener receiver. Install a switch to turn off the AC. Also a good idea if you’re away on vacation.

 

You shouldn't be leaving anything with your name on it in your car. But it happens. And there's a good chance someone who wants your car already knows where to look

Some more modern controls allow you to disable all remotes. Personally, disabled should probably be the default unless you have a more advanced remote. But if your car is parked outside, all someone has do is push the button...chances are someone's door will open.

 

Ordered new front bump stops. Part hoarding season has begun.

 

Took off the venture rack. Never wanted it simply because it will never be used. I just wanted the color. It was silver or black. Black looks fantastic, I just don’t like taking care of it.

 

Took the rtt off for the season. We tried our best but 19° broke us this year.

 

I like the clean/OEM look of your buttons. Link? or custom?

 

Thanks, yep -

After installing a pair of Renogy 100w solar panels between the roof rack (two months ago) I installed crossbars of 80/20 1"x3" with angle hardware to re-install the tandem bike rack.

 

Visited family in Grand Haven Michigan for Thanksgiving. 1500 miles round trip. Got some snow while I was there and Mud Terrain Tires made driving around interesting.

The roads on the way home Sunday were packed with cars. I took a 2 lane road 100 mile detour just to get out of the crowds on the highways.

 

Installed the Ironman Foam Pro 2 stage 2 lift kit.

So far, loving the improved ride quality. Still waiting for tires and I should be good. Currently, still rolling with stock 265 series tires on the TRD Pro wheels.

finally ordered Morimoto headlights today. Ive been wanting these lights for sometime now and I can not wait to get them installed.

 

Front seat jackets and MMP ordered today. I always like to order these little ingenious parts that may or may not enhance my enjoyment of the 4R.

 

I’m happy with how it turned out considering it was my first time wrapping anything. Slight angle of photo makes it look a little off, but I assure you it is evenly spaced with hood lines. Knifeless tape made a nice straight line.
