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

Got them in the mail a couple weeks ago... doing oil. change this weekend. Will report if these fit when I do.

 

Orvis website or Amazon I believe, it was pricy but well worth it.

 

Yes, it is very flat with the seats down. Mine has the optional sliding cargo tray. Here are a couple more pictures from different angles so you can see it better.

 

Behind the grill? It’s going in her new bumper. So it won’t be blocked. But no it hasn’t been delivered yet. Bumper is still at powder as well.

 

That's so clean. Nice work.

 

Oh. I didn’t know there was a bumper that fit the ONX6+. That’s awesome!!

 

Do you plan to transport criminals in the back of your 4runner?

 

Awesome! I am going to do the same exact thing - except with Nitto Ridgegrapplers in 285/70/17

 

Eibach recently had a 10% off sale + free shipping so I went for it. Had been eyeing the kit for a while and pulled the trigger.

 

Not ideal doing alone, with no type of lift, but still wicked easy. Heading to Moab for the weekend.

 

Sorry, one more question, did you leave the covers off for air flow or put them back? Gets pretty hot in the valley in the summer.

 

Did an oil change today and was able to confirm that these bolts are the correct ones to replace the bolts for the oil-drain plug access plate to the skid plate. 12mm head, a perfect match for the original ones. If you've mangled the OEM bolts, these are the ones you want. 96 cents each...

 

Another road trip. 2000 miles this time to Nashville, Memphis and back home to Austin

 

In preparation to finish the AZBDR, from the Mogollon Rim, AZ to the Utah state line, starting tomorrow, 23 Apr 2022, plugged in the RedArc RedVision to charge the battery.

 

Installed Home Depot $5.00 black gutter guard behind the lower front grill.

 

Details on how to install this? And link?
Looks good! Any other pics further out?

 

I bought the gutter guards from Home Depot https://www.homedepot.com/p/Amerimax-Home-Products-Lock-In-3-ft-Black-Metal-Mesh-Gutter-Guard-6360X2/205207064.

I removed the top portion of the grill. Pretty easy, a bunch of push type fasteners and one bolt. The top grill snaps off with a litter effort. I used a large piece of brown paper to create a template from the outside of the lower grill. Then moved it to the inside to finalize the size I wanted. The template works for both side, just flip it over. The gutter guard has a bend on one edge. I used a pair of pliers and a rubber mallet to flatten it. Then cut out the guard using the template with tin snips. I fastened the guard with small black zip ties. Look real close and you can see them. I'll see if I can get some better pictures tomorrow.

 

I’ve done a lot with SPCs and pro shocks with eibach front springs with a 1/4” top shim and dobs c59-505 rears. 2” lift vs stock pro front and back.

 

Looks great! I intend to ultimately go this route as well, to include the Toyo OC AT3. What is height gain front and rear? Thanks!

 

Thanks!

Front is 1.4" and rear is 1"

 

It was super nice out so I did a little engine bay detailing this afternoon.

 

Looking good. . Did you use hose and detergent or just wipes?

 

dang..how? I’m running 275s with a 2 inch lift and had to remove front flaps, inner liner pull, and do a minor fender cut

 

I installed LED reverse lights. I'll definitely be adding more LED's. Found a good price at Amazon for the Lasfit bulbs. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B081YJ7G81?ie=UTF8

 

His truck already has the fender liner mod from port.

What wheels do you have? Offset?

Do you have wheel spacers?

 

I put the covers back on. I had LEDs on my previous truck and never had any problems in the Florida heat. Not sure how Valley heat compares, but so far so good.

 

Two weeks later, the other one went out. Stocks are Philips as well. Went back to stock and I’ll just keep it at that with the led fog lights.

 

I was surprised as well. The trd pro comes with the front bumper already trimmed from port. Every vehicle varies slightly but it helps that I’m on stock wheels as well.

 

That is a great looking rig. Just the right stance to it.

 

Depending on which manufacturer and type of stock H11 bulb you install, you’ll get 300-400 hrs of use (and 1250 lumens) vs 250 hrs of use (and 2100 lumens) from an H9 bulb. I keep a modified H9 spare pair in my tool kit in case one burns out. But recently I’ve just been changing them once per year before failure. Cost = $26 US.
