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

i dont need them but my wife is 5'3" lol. sliders will eventually go on but i'm in no rush at the moment. one mod at a time i guess.

 

Broke 3000 miles yesterday on our 2022 4Runner. It’s been sitting in our garage for a couple weeks while I have been driving the Honda CRV. Honda has 303,750 miles on it and running strong.

 

Does the Etsy seller offer any other stitching/lettering colors besides red?

 

Drove it home after leaving it @ the AP Tues. morning. Needs bath.

 

Came up w/ nothing searching forum so DIY

Problem: Repeatedly broken centre console lid latch tab OEM and Amazon. Lid stayed spring loaded open.
Solution: Diy disengage centre console lid springs, Bob's your Uncle.

1. Remove 4 black inner lid phillips screws, pry bar inner lid plastic away via 4 clips, and pop that old man Kleenex holder off forever!
2. Remove 4 zinc lid arms phillips screws, put lid parts aside
3. Easily pry bar rear air vent panel off
4. Reduce lid tension, cut ends of lid springs off with linesman's, bend out of their channels to disengage
*5: DRINK A HARD DAY IPA FOR YOUR TROUBLES

 

Finished routing my breather for the rear diff and e-locker. More of a pain in the ass than I expected, with regard to the routing and such. Mostly because the line that came with the ARB kit that I bought was pretty stiff, and it didnt like to bend how I wanted it to.

 

Well the $800 tow truck could've went to some recovery boards so probably not lol. Just wanted to test some capabilities. Did not expect to get high centered but that was on me.

Luckily yea. Definitely need a thicker fuel tank skid first though, might save up to get a full skid kit and then sliders after.

 

Made these Custom mud flap vinyl emblems.

 

Not sure, but here's his Etsy site... https://www.etsy.com/shop/KnobsForA...i3aYxsjdB9&eaid=44861972939&x_eaid=1ecd14b767

 

Also, he's very responsive to email questions... just takes a day or two to get response.

 

Did the factory roof rail delete. Very happy with how it turned out.

Next up - sliders to smooth out that Predator raggedness and maybe a scoop -> flat hood swap so it's all clean lines all around.

 

Installed the Meso Customs Map lights, pretty much love them!

 

Atleast your out having fun! If exploring alone, make sure you have simple recovery gear. Looks like with a shovel and moving some rocks you MAYBE could of saved yourself $800...

But thats how a 4runner is supposed to be used! Proud of you

 

Sick WARN die cut decal finally arrived from AnyDecals.com to finish off my door. Rad website for stickers

 

Sick

 

Might sound silly, but I bought some indoor/outdoor carpet for the cargo area. This way I can remove and shake off all the dirt, sand, etc. that accumulates from our camping trips. Also rolls up easily for the third row.

 

I had some 3M clear paint protection film applied to the rear bumper. I always noticed scratches to this area on other 4Runners from people loading/unloading items from the cargo area. No longer worried about my kids or anyone else using this area for items or climbing on the rear bumper with their shoes. Works great!

 

One more….picked up a cargo box for use with the standard OEM cross bars. Fit is amazing and love how low it sits to the roof.

 

My GF has that on her CRV. Great option for dog owners. I’ve been thinking about doing that to my 4Runner.

 

Honestly, it was well worth it for me. First week of owning a brand new vehicle and my kid gets up on the back bumper to climb in the cargo area and scratches the paint with his shoes. Gives me peace of mind and now I don’t think about it getting scratched.

 

Secured my second amendment rights:

 

Factory roof rack delete.

 

Ordered custom trunk mats today. About 6 week delivery time.

 

Not today but the last few days. Detailed the interior, engine bay and gave her a wash. Sorry for the crappy pics, believe it or not I use a flip phone lol!

 

Off Ebay?

 

Great idea and looks great, didn't notice until read description. Thanks for sharing.

 

Slapped some 4Runner Lifestyle Carbon mirror caps on today. Thought they were complete replacements and not stick ons but still look cool

 

4runGirl88, not EBay.
