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

At first I was wondering what the big deal was. Then I saw you're from Texas. It's doing it again this year? Sheesh.

I'd say I'd be driving if my 4Runner looked like that, but I'd be worried enough about your roads that I wouldn't chance it. It's like this one town up my way that doesn't do enough to their roads in the winter. People bitch and moan about the salt and stuff they put on the roads, but if you spend an hour in that town on an icy day and survive, you'll get it.

 

Oy, some stuff that I actually did. I only did internet shopping, but I did it.

LFD integrated wind fairing crossbar and the double wide for the rear, both in stainless steel
A couple two gallon Rotopax rev 2 water containers
Rotopax deluxe nonlocking mount for the double wide crossbar
Rotopax mount extension for the two water containers
A couple of ARB soft shackles
ARB winch/recovery strap damper

I already have most of the other equipment I'd have to use with the ARB stuff. I'm getting my stuff slowly. I think this gets me to full usable and safe usage of the kinetic strap that I got in the past, though I don't have all of the odds and ends for doing everything that could be done.

 

It looks happy to see you too!

 

@kmeeg I bought it and plan to attempt to install it tomorrow. Hopefully soon I'll post a review.

 

That's Awesome. Love to know if its good. Hopefully price doesn't go up.

 

I had a dream where I was driving my 4Runner on some dirt and rolled it but took zero damage. The dream first person view camera zoomed out to show my 4Runner roll, and I could see it was solid as a rock. It also landed on its wheels, and the airbags didn't go off. I was able to keep on driving. Then I saw a cop car over on the pavement getting ready to give me a ticket or something, but the cop car was navigating back and forth like a glitchy video game. Then I woke up because I had to go pee.

 

Haha

 

I wasn’t going to bother. However, since getting the 4Runner and driving a much slower pace to get up to speed, and sticking to the speed limit when I do get there, I seem to notice a lot more risky behaviour. I’ve had more than a couple of close calls, which made me order and install one. I will say though, I have less people (except bigger pickup trucks) driving up my a$$, but do have a lot more people cutting in front of me. For context, I do not sit in the passing lane when not passing, and try and stick to the middle lane or the curb lane understanding I’m a granny mobile now. Additionally context, I also live in an area heavily populated by Indians who have a different mentality of driving from their homeland (“I worry about what’s in front of me, let the person behind me worry about what I do since I’m in front of them”).

 

Somebody has watched too many Mad Max movies!!

 

Finished painting my new front recovery points from SRQ. Install probably tomorrow.

 

Anyone else having problems posting in classifieds? Never have had an issue but keeps telling me to add a valid title. Anyway, dropping this here for now until I figure it out!

Since I sold my 2021 TRD Pro, I still have these lightly used Canvasback. This is is you have a sliding tray if you want an exact fit. May fit others without but do your own search on that.

I am attaching my ebay listing so I don't have to go back and upload all the pics again but message me if you have any questions!

I'll do cheaper on the forums than my ebay listing or feel free to offer/buy through ebay for the additional buyer protection. Just message me and we can negotiate that way!

Dude could at least learn to park tho

 

Not "today" but last weekend I had the eibach lift springs installed on the runner. Side shot has slight reverse rake b/c it's loaded w/some furniture ~150 lbs worth.

 

And, he parks well!!!!

 

Domino’d a simple problem into a bigger one. After rotating my tires, on 1 lug I didn’t thread it on by hand before hitting it with the uggdugg and stripped the stud. Had to go get a new stud and lug. After replacing the lug, while putting on the caliper, I stripped the guide pin and will now have to replace the caliper. Looks to be a simple but costly job. All because I didn’t want to do something the right way the first time.

 

I rebuilt the Fox Trd Pro shocks. I rebuild Other brands but these were quite a challenge. Gonna install soon. Added a schrader valve too. Installed the rears a little on firm side. For a stock 15 sr5 4x4

 

Yesterday afternoon I drove up to Denver to the RSG Offroad 4x4 shop and had them install a set of powder coated rock sliders w/ kickout and a powder coated front skid plate with the RSG logo cut out. Great people to do business with and they had it completely done in less than an hour and now I get to say I had my RSG sliders installed by RSG! LOL They also gave me a fee tee shirt! IT was only an hour drive from Colorado Springs and so worth it to have them do it. I'll try to get a few pics up but every time I do they are upside down.

 

I drive my new 4Runner much slower than I have any other vehicle I've owned, and I've observed the same things you described. I stick religiously to the right lane and at (or even below) the speed limit. Since doing so, I see way more crazy stuff. I think when you drive faster, you don't see as much crazy stuff because you don't stay close to the same vehicles for as long?

 

Some little things

 

Installed a set of Apex Front Recovery Points.

 

Programmed more destinations into my navigation for upcoming trip.

 

Installed Prinsu no-drill Full Roof Rack. With Rack Shield, and Side Handles. My Maxtrax mounted low on Maxtrax Pins. Twin Roam 95L Storage Boxes. Mounted on Roam Rugged Mounts. Looks like there is plenty of room for dual 5gal fuel cans. Mounted in between the cargo boxes.     

 

added ditch lights to '23 ORP

dirty 4R pic (taken a few weeks back)

 

These bad boys arrived from LFD. The double wide crossbar wasn't even in stock when I ordered it, but I guess it was in stock after all. I also got the integrated wind fairing front. I've heard about the fitment concerns with the wind fairing, but I'll give it a shot.

 

Added Baja Designs Squadron-R 4Runner Fog Light Kit, ARK 4Runner Mudflap Deletes, Meso Customs Puddle Pods, Sequential Turn Signals and Aiden James Customs LED DRL Fog Light Bezel Kit. Left turn signal is on.

 

Not much but got these Lamin-X Gunsmoke fog light and tail light laminates installed. Love the way they turned out, super easy install.

 

Piddly item today in comparison to the many bad ass mods on here of late…. Added the TPE plastic seat back liners. Yep these seem like they are gonna be just swell.
Perfect fit and the Velcro bites into the seat back so so good.

 

Added Sherpa Crestone Roof rack, ExtremeLED X6S Slim Amber/White light bar, and Cali Raised Small OEM Switch. My Lunar Rock celebrating Lunar New Year.

 

Hi guys! Thank you Bob! I’m new to this 4runner forum. I just installed a new pedal commander to my 4runner trd. I loved it. Has anyone else have on there runner?
