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

Pennywise!

 

Maybe Toyota turned the heat down. The seats in my 19 ORP can get really toasty.

 

Sounds like a warrantee job. Mine gets hot.

 

I have those same springs. I had them all powder coated red before I had them installed. Even though you can barely see the rear springs, my OCD would not allow me to have 2 different colored springs.

 

They look sweet in red. I might just spray paint them red too. Do you have a pic of your rig with them on. Curious to see how the ride height is.

 

What is OCD?

 

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. We all have it a bit with our 4runner

 

When mine does not feel warm enough, a spicy bean burrito does the trick.........j/k.

 

Got her ready for Halloween

 

loosen then unscrew with a solo cup or whatever thats big enough.

 

I did the viper cut today.

 

I traded it for a Model Y. $1000/month in gas was killing me.

 

trash

 

how much do you drive where fuel is 1000 a month! I know its canada and gas is $$$ but damn

 

Canadian Bacon next month

 

Predator Step Bars off, RCI Sliders going on soon. Sigh looks good without anything on but need something to step on and protect from rocks.

 

Eibach stage 2 coilovers and SPC UCA installed! Loving the look!

 

Went to Breakfast, Cabela's then Hawk Mountain hike for fall foliage W/my little bride. Had to take a nice detour(thanks to RR doing repairs on road)
on narrow winding single lane "Not Maintained in Winter" road. The wife said this looks like a place to get murdered! LOL, Told her that's why I have CCP 9mm. Then to a nice bar/restaurant for dinner. Great weather & day trip.

 

Gas in Canada averaged about $1.90/liter for the last 3 months. That’s about $7.20 per gallon. So about 140 gallons cost $1000. At 18 MPG that’s 2500 miles per month, 84 miles per day. Sounds about right for the typical long distance commuter.

Geez, I wouldn't spend that much on gas either. I'm at around $240/month with current gas prices. (Murica)

How much are you projecting to spend on electricity/charging per month? Do you have a level ii charger at your place?

 

Yes, level 2 at home 240v@32amps. About $5 for ~250 miles, probably 200 miles in the winter time. Supercharger will be more, I do most of my driving around the house.

 

Would you be happy with a smaller vehicle... having driven a beast like 4Runner

 

@LuLu it is not THAT much smaller, not like I am going into a Corolla, we will be fine. It is not as tall, i give you that, but we moved from a Ram 1500 into the 4Runner, we will adjust. Cant have them all, well, you can, but not with my income.

 

General Grabbers? Stock size?

Looks good.

 

My doggo approved.

 

Yeap!

 

LOL
point on for the size as well - oh well, we will see if i am in another Yota by the spring or still in the Y.

 

I see boxes with TRD logo in the close background. What was in them? Those springs? If not, what? Where did you get it? How much? LOL

 

Those were the boxes for the TRD Pro wheels. I first had the lift kit, tires, and wheels on a 2020 TRD ORP. I didn’t like the color (black) so I had everything removed and put back on my white 2022 TRD ORP after I traded. Here is the finished (for now) product.
