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

I only "liked" this post because there is no love button!

Great pic!!!

 

Installed this on another members 5th Gen 4Runner...

Ooooo, she fancy

 

Icy, dat you?????
So pretty

 

Nope... I did text him though hahaha!

 

We're having some pretty extensive remodeling done, and today they came to empty the construction dumpsters. Some dumb ass forgot to set the brake on the forklift, it rolled off the skid, took out all my driveway lights, a stone bird bath, a Japanese maple, two boxwoods, and the back of my 4Runner.

 

Goodness gracious!!! You take pictures? Always good to have for legal purposes.

 

I did, fortunately the whole thing was witnessed by about six people because there was so much going on.

 

Hard to see because of the reflection, but the bumper is toast, the tailgate is pretty wrinkled and one of the taillights is cracked. Hitch took a hit too because it’s scraped pretty good.

 

Man is this going to be your 4th 4Runner? You gotta sell it now that it got wrecked.

 

It IS about time for a new one isn't it?

 

dang man, thats alot of 5th gen's

 

One of my co workers bought a Tundra, then got hit. Insurance totaled it. He got more than he paid for it, then bought another Tundra. He somehow got hit again, and again made money on it and bought a newer Tundra.

 

I hope none of this impacted his driving record

 

Both accidents weren't his fault. He was rear ended at a red light, then t-boned when someone ran a red light.

 

Maybe not what I did, but I've accumulated in past day

1. Some Desert Does It seat jackers



2. So OEM steps (took a whole day's drive to get them -- spent more in gas vs. price I paid for these)



3. Expedition Essentials Powered Dash Mount



4. Dongar Dash cam power adapter (no pic -- arrived after left for work).

 

Not nearly as bad as I thought it would be when I imagined a forklift hitting it, still sucks ass though.

 

Yeah fortunately it was going backwards and not forks first

 

That sucks! On a positive note I like the color matched area where the 4runner badge is mounted. Did you take apart the hatch to take it out and paint it?

 

That’s how’s the SR5’s come (and maybe the limiteds?)

 

As mentioned by others, the SR5 has color matched door handles. They have chrome accents for the model logos on the side:

 

added the Rigd Skep (skid/step) to my swing out





worked on the interior blackout project with AJT designs knobs on the radio and dual climate - also added black steering wheel logo cover





garmin 67w dash cam + powered by Dongar Technologies USB / rear view mirror adaptor

 

I’ve been on vacation, but while there, the glove box organizer and tray for the middle console are installed. I’m getting tires this week and will post a pic then.

 

Picked her up from getting windows tinted and since here in NE Indiana we were FINALLY blessed with a nice day I gave her a good bath!

 

Performed my first oil change in over 25 years. Added a Fumoto valve and the metal filter housing. Cleaned the bolts for the skid plate. Added the Tufskinz letters just because.

Retrofitted OEM LED headlights and SS3 Max backlit fog lights into the 2016. Harness adapters from FBC Harness Solutions made it plug n play.

 

There's a guy near me that might sell me his oem 2021 headlamps. He said to make him an offer, but I'm not sure what's fair. I think they came off within a month or two of ownership.

 

They're worth it. You can see an instrumented test here showing that they have triple the intensity of the OEM halogen headlights.

 

I switched to the Philips H9s based on Crash's test results. That was before the OEM LEDs were out. I'm just trying to think of a good offer. I don't want the guy thinking I'm low balling him. Maybe $800?

 

I got mine for $500 shipped from Louisiana to California, and I know shipping wasn't cheap.

Offer him $300 and negotiate from there. They're not doing him any good sitting in the garage, and he won't have to package them up if you're local. I promise that they're better than any other headlight on the market save for the Morimoto units- but I have a lot of concerns about Morimoto reliability.
