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

wow. i have loved my pedal commander in my tundra and have no problems. we've never put one in our 4runner because my wife doesn't want one. sad to hear it didn't work out for either of you

 

So weird....
Mine has been flawless. I had it on my 18' T4R and then switched over to my 22'. No issues.

 

Mine has been perfect for 19 months. Top 5 mods I’ve done.

 

In my research, I did not find any negative reviews for the Sprint Booster. There were a few bad reviews for the Pedal Commander. Not many, but there were none for the Sprint Booster, which convinced me to go that route. I have had it for 14 months of trouble free use. Plus the controller fits on one of the blank panels. It's about the size of your thumbnail. I highly recommend the SB. The throttle response is awesome.

 

I had a pedal commander on my 16 Tacoma. After putting a tune on it, the pedal commander and the tune didn't work well together. I'd be driving down the road, and the truck would LITERALLY just go dead. I'd have to take the negative terminal off the battery, wait about 2 mins, let the computer reset, and put the terminal back on and go. After that happening 2 or 3 times, I took the pedal commander off, and never had any more issues. So if you have a tune on your 4R, that might be the issues. But I've also heard people WITHOUT tunes having some issues too. Always a crap shot.

 

No I didn’t tell them about it

 

DIY Hitch Mounted Dog Ramp
Doggo had surgery. Need ramp.
Ramp to side doors is less than ideal.
Gotta be a way to use a ramp through the back.
Birch plywood already cut to size.
Furring strips for traction.
Redwood scraps for the rest.
I have a cheap but good rubber mat from HDepot that goes over the bumper.
You didn't think I would just let him scratch up the bumper, didja?

 

The first Westcott designs hitch mount single tire carrier fresh off the production line today. Thanks Jeff and Josh and all the guys at the shop. I love it.

 

Speedy recovery Doggo.

 

Didn't see that on their site. How much for that?

 

Nice work and I hope doggo feels better!

 

I had to run some wires behind that for my stereo install and without removing a ton of the front dash, there was no way to just remove that piece. I had to snake the wire across using a steel wire.

It depends on the options you choose, here is the link. Appx. 1580$ to start.

Thanks for the info.

 

Drove it halfway across PA and back to pick up a new to me Deere GT. This Aluma utility trailer was just wide enough by half an inch on each side to load the tractor with mower deck mounted. The trailer has always tracked nicely, and did again outbound empty, back with a couple thousand pounds of tractor and attachments:



Surprisingly, got 19.3 mpg for the round trip. I guess the extra weight of pulling the trailer was offset by the long stretch of PA TPK clear sailing.
And, yes, I understand this is more of a "what I did with" than "what I did to". So, I filled it with hi-dollar Sheetz gas somewhere along the way.

 

i have a tail light out so i ordered auxito led replacement bulbs. probably get them in this weekend.

 

Do they have a license plate relocation adapter for it?
Why do they have it sitting so far away from the tailgate?
Do they have other add on options like Rotopax or Hi-lift mounts?
Curious to see what it looks like open.

 

adding rotopax and hi jack to a drop down tire carrier would be cumbersome.

 

Sorry, didnt see it was a dropdown. Thought it was a swingout.

 

Just looking...

 

Took my 21 Venture on our first real road trip from St. Augustine Fl, up to Knoxville/ Gatlinburg TN.. Did some hiking and some small trails, the vehicle did great. I’m very happy with the comfort during the long drive, we averaged @20mpg that’s with highway, and back roads. Came back home this afternoon through Athens Ga, only to get home and my house a/c was blowing a brisk 90 degrees.. no worries it was a bad capacitor, the house is cooling as I type!

 

Yes, there is a new spot for the license plate.
Has to clear the ladder, only 19.5 “ from center hitch pin to edge of my 33’ tire.
Yes you can add another arm for root-pax. Call and check on the hi-lift jack I’m not sure.
No pics yet for that.

 

Oof...cool design but I would rather spend more and get an actual bumper.

 

yup

 

Got the Lasfit switchback fog lights

 

Not today, but in recent days. A bit of Xpel, a bit of Greenlane, and a bit of geek technology that I’ll never use but a fun project nonetheless.

 

KITT industries conversion? What is it?
