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

Yeah, I think rust in those rivets is common. I cleaned mine out as best I could with Q-tips and 91% alcohol, let it dry, and smooshed a good bit of touch-up paint in there. So far so good.

 

My 2019 TRDOR is stock, and has averaged right at 21.5 for the past 4 years (got it October 2018). Similar to what you’re seeing. I’m not a slow poke, but I don’t accelerate hard either. The mods do seem to impact MPGs though.

I was debating buying some touch up paint too but hadn’t thought about the alcohol. Thanks for the tip!

 

Toyota frame rust / rot issues are well known and well documented. Clean them regularly, paint them a couple times a year, fluid film them inside and out at least once a year, or they will rot. This goes for axles and all other suspension components as well. They rot out from the inside so by the time you notice it, it's too late.

 

Steal Punch?

Darn Otto correct.

 

Haha, no more mods! That's what I said 15 mods ago. I'm jealous of this mod.

 

Have kicked around a tailgate badge for the ORP for a while, thinking I might go with this (bought a pro emblem that was single letters to rearrange) and also tired of blackout TRD Off Road emblems on C Pillar - likely to paint them to match this red along with the 4RUNNER letters on tailgate (but leave the toyota emblem blacked). .. Just a mock up and all this is a maybe, I didn't like the positioning so I pulled it off for now - if I go permanent I'll tape it out and get it all straight and go up and over a bit.


That crooked T , urg... if I put these back on they will be moved up and to the right a bit with the top of the TRD parallel with the bottom the the tailgate handle


Now if I could just get around to a project that matters and install those Bilstein's ...

I would say that is a good one to end on.

 

If you find you want a little more supercharger whine, I installed an aFe Power intake and it did make quite a difference. Sounds like a freight train going down the road now

 

Where’d you get those? Looks nice

LOL You're worried about a Cherrymax Rivet stem corrosion on fuel door hinge attachment! Good Luck W/All the "Other Issues" that WILL happen!

 

I’m not worried about anything. Just disappointed it already started.

 

how is this mounted?

 

Finally got a little mud on the new shoes today on my hunting property.

 

Can't wait for deer season to open! What do you have on your property?

 

1st day of archery starts tomorrow in Pa.

seen bear, turkey, coyotes and plenty of bucks and does.

 

Thanks! I bought these from Remi Customs on Etsy.

 

Programming navigation for my upcoming trip, adding a few items to the First Aid kit (chest trauma bandages and my bag of hot sauces!!), raincoat and tug strap that I took out.

Not for the 4Runner, per se, but for the trip, I gotta sort out the fly rods I'm giving to my daughter and son-in-law for Christmas (getting up there in age and infirmity and can't use them very much anymore).

 

Get out there and post up a 0-60 time!

 

Yeah, sure. That's what we all say: "no more mods". Wife asks "are you done now?" I say yes and I mean it in the moment but then within a week I get another great idea.
☠️☠️☠️

 

Wife snuck it out yesterday and got it washed=it's still a month early. Just gonna get dirty on our trip south next month!

 

I added the 2023 40th anniversary wheels

 

Yeah but Nautical Blue looks so darn good when it's all clean and shiny!

 

looks great, how much did you pay?

 

Looks awesome. What is the part number for it?

 

Part number for the wheels PTR5689210F5 and part number for the center caps PT280352215F
