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

Damn..wish I had a garage like yours!

 

I’ld take that floor to 3,000 grit, stain and densify with a little “wheat”?

 

Swapped out gear shift knob, that silver drove me nuts.

 

Nice ride! i bought one last saturday as well. Did they only give you one fob and say that toyota is only shipping with one at the moment?

 

I'm new to the 4runner. What is that component for? Thanks!

 

From what I understand its an air pump for emissions. It only gets used when the engine is cold. (I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm not correct) Oddly enough, my wife's 2010 doesn't have one at all. Sometimes you can hear it when you start the engine cold and turn it off after a few seconds.

 

Man, I had a Hobie BALSA WOOD surfboard in high school!!

 

Did a toyota dealer say this for new cars? If so, Did they adjust the price for the cost of a new fob? They’re not exactly cheap. Sounds like BS!

 

Can confirm, this is happening with Lexus. No adjustment on the price, they will provide the second fob within a month or so.

 

Ah ok….as long as they make you whole, it’s understandable. A little surprising though…I guess that really says supply chain issues are still a big issue.

 

I have a co-worker that was at Ford the other day getting maintenance, so he was browsing the lot and said he saw window stickers with features crossed out like heated seats and things. Asked a salesman and he said they couldn't get chips for the features. WILD stuff

 

Got my dobinsons lift installed yesterday. I was only looking for a mild lift, so I opted for the C59-296 Front, C59-599 Rears and the IMS shocks and also added their UCA









(and here's a before pic)

 

Looks good! How much of a lift did you get so far?

 

Installed DD SSC2 Pro ditch lights yesterday and as expected they are Excellent. On a side note
I don’t normally post negative stuff on items I purchase but I felt it is needed in this case. The OEM switches sold by Cali Raised are not a very good product when it comes to fit, I have one for the behind the grill light bars and I purchased one for the Ditch Lights. I had to put tape to add backing to prevent the switch from setting to deep in the slot. So if you’re looking for an OEM switch maybe try the Air on Board switches it’s possible those will work better. I know they’re only $15 bucks each but I thought I should make you guys aware in case you’re expecting a perfect fit.

 

Hey, love the rig man, I have the same rims. Where did you get the toyota stripes decal in the center cap?

 

Nice looking truck! What size are your KO2's?

 

Got them off Methods web site. They are under accessories. They were on back order but I believe they are back in stock.

 

Thank you. 285/70/17 C Load

 

I mean did you call King shocks and talk to them about your rig? Theyre pretty good about reasoning this out with customers. Or if you want something truly custom, try @AccuTune Offroad

 

Where did you find it? And the red stitched 4x4 knob? Never saw one like that

 

so the stock measurements from the middle of the hub to the fender was 20 inches on the front and 21.5 on the back. After the lift the fronts are at 22 and the rear is sitting around 23.25 (driver side) and 23.5 on the passenger side (I have a full tank of gas and a sub on the drivers side) The springs are likely to settle a bit

 

Nice. After settling, I’d like to end up with 1.5-2” and would likely go with the medium springs all around. I’ll be interesting to see where yours settles at.

 

Dropped in a rear cargo mat, YitaMotor (eBay/Amazon special). The fitment is great, and the price was right, and it doesn't smell like Harbor Freight!

 

hahaha. The china freight smell on plastics is real! Sometimes it’s really unbearable. Although on my latest visit to harbor freight, the cheap unrefined plastic smell in the air seems to be less severe.

Pump gas before the crazy weather tomorrow and this is the first mpg check after 285s. (Fit 285 -> pump full tank of gas -> Reset trip & avg mpg (refuel mpg reset automatically i guess) -> Pump full tank of gas again after 270 miles.
This was city only driving. Just groceries, doctor visits & pain full long wait school runs..
Instrument cluster seems more accurate with 285s when it comes to speed and mpg than stock 265s.

 

Nice setup. I also have the same DD grill lights and fogs. How do you like the DD ditch lights? They might be on my list for next lighting upgrade.

This thread says it all about AOB switches vs the rest.

 

The lights are very bright for being small. hope to use them soon in a situation where I really need them. I like the low profile brackets. Yeah I saw that thread after I ordered the Cali Raised switch. I might just order some from AOB and replace. They’re fairly easy to install.

 

I called toyota as the dealer does not give you anything on a we owe form. Toyota customer support did confirm that they are short on fobs and will be sending me one when they get it. They looked up my Vin and confirmed that the dealer was telling the truth. Once the fob comes in, I have to go to toyota for them to program it in.

 

New around here, mostly hang out on TW. We bought the wife a 2021 TRD off-road to complement my 2019 Tacoma.

Today I put a redarc brake controller, a set of husky mats, and a new set of stock size K02’s. Plan to use the 4R to pull our camper to TN the day after Christmas.
