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

Nice! Question on the amber filters, how does it look with the led fogs on, from the outside, and in terms of how it lights up the road when driving?

I got the yellow filters, the color seems nice in terms of how it lights up the road, but from the ouside, the yellow turns kinda greenish due to the led light source. Strikes me as a bit tacky, and was thinking of trying amber instead.

 

Shoreline Blue Pearl, only the most awesome 4runner color ever! lol

 

Wonder no more, you can get any color match online. I agree, blue pearl is the color I wanted. Waiting for was not an option. That seat would look awesome in blue ppearl. Time to drive around with the rear seat and see what kind of crazy looks I get!

 

This is just the reverse bulbs and turn signal bulbs with there housing? Didn't require any tapping or modifications? Thanks

 

Trying to see if anyone has tried the 265 ridge grapplers on the orp wheels? Would like to know if they rub

 

Their reverse lights require nothing. They plug right into the socket. Most if not all replacement bulbs do not require anything except for turn signal bulbs to avoid hyperflash.

 

Any hyperflash since you went led on the turn signal? Or did you use a special module?

 

What are you guys using for backup camera relocation with a bumper setup? Mounting on swing out, or above rear glass? Anyone use a good kit worth looking into?

 

Their LEDs did not require it because there is a built in resistor.

 

Added a couple more

 

Someone posted a link for a Natika with a bracket that bolts behind the top license plate bolts. Looks like a decent no drill solution. https://www.amazon.com/Backup-Rear-...rds=natika+camera&qid=1646961269&sr=8-2-spons

 

Added the driver's side handle. Pretty useful actually. Instructions from the kit owner should be modified a bit. Other than that, a fairly straightforward mod.



Also added some TRD letters to my skid from Tuf Skinz. Surprisingly good quality!

 

I did this on my tundra. Just noticed ( don’t drive her 4Runner very much ) she doesn’t have a drivers handle. Is it like the tundra and it being 2 parts? Any chance you remember p/n? I can always dig around though. Looks good

 

I've wondered why this isn't standard....

 

Anyone interested In a gobi ladder or Rago bumper antenna mount?

 

I was just thinking. If this is really the SRS Curtain Airbag, you could end up getting hit in the face with the handle or the airbag may not deploy properly. I don't know which.

 

I can’t say it’s like the Tundra as I’m not familiar with it but the mod is primarily a bracket and then of course you need to buy the handle from Toyota. You can see the thread here -

It’s on

 

This is a great mod. As previously mentioned by @spyder918 there are a few tweaks to the installation that are discussed in the linked thread. I’m not sure if they are in the official instructions yet. You have to follow directions, measure 3 times before cutting and drilling, and take your time.

The details of the airbag deployment have been studied and this handle will not affect its behavior. It’s similar to the handle on the passenger side.

The only issue I have with it is that the A pillar cover plate isn’t scooped out like on the passenger side. So big hands tend to rub against the plate when grabbing the handle.

 

def wants to add this to the mod list..
not too pricy..

 

If I was to ever change wheels, I’d get some like yours. SCS?

 

Fuel anza bronze

 

I relocated my factory camera. I used the camera relocation kit from C4 fab.

 

Thanks I’ll check it out. Trying to avoid running wire all the way to the head unit

 

Yeah totally understand that. It was “simple” but did take a few hours. You can watch the install video on YouTube. But basically it is 4 wires, remove the old camera. Cut the existing wires, solder the wires together, run the wires to the new location, hook the camera up to the mount and boom your done. Idk if you will have any mount points with your bumper, but you have skills so it wouldn’t be hard to weld that to your bumper. I hope this info helps.

 

I have the rigid relocation kit. No cutting/splicing/soldering wires. But you do run a wire to head unit. Not a big deal since there’s shit tons of room under the runner.

 

Where do u run the wires? Back through that tube grommet and into the back and down behind tail light?

 

Saw that one also looks like a nice kit, also saw the birds eye system from ajt that moves it above glass and keeps all wiring in the hatch which may be nice

 

It is ran through the rear hatch, into the cab, out the bottom, and to one of the swing where I have the camera mounted.
