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

I need this!! Was about to do the Eimkeith PCK over the weekend till I saw this and now I prefer this.

 

6x 3watt LEDs, 18w each, 1500 lumens

Got some new falken wildpeak mt put on this morning before work. 285/70r18. Hope there good. Came from some ko2 after 5 sets, I wanted to try something different

 

17s not 18s

 

Westcott 20 degree sliders finally on. Ordered them in December.

 

Good looking rig. I bet that king suspension is smooth!

 

Just here, working on some 3d scan data to make some stuff that will fit the KDSS!

 

Photoshoot with our new TEQ hoodies.

 

Oil change, new Fumoto valve, and RCI skid plate. Maybe seat cover(s) next?...

 

Got 1 new wheel in yesturday
Full set going on today
That is just sitting there not installed.
Other 3 came in, 1 tire flat.
Bad seal at tpms.

 

Thanks. Very smooth.

 

Scs BR6 wheels I got used since they came with the M/Ts so basically just paid for tires

 

Added nfab steps and painted roof rack black

 

Installed the Ultamite9 EVCX throttle controller. Didn’t get it to get more response as I think my 2022 Off Road drives fine. I got it for the lock out feature and Bluetooth module, so I don’t need the provider screen to control it just my phone. When I park my car, I just put it in lock mode and it doesn’t relay any input from the gas pedal to the ECU. I’ll alway drive it in Factory mode to hopefully avoid any reliability risk.

By the way, the install is a b*tch. Not sure how you guys who have throttle controllers can maneuver between dash and floor to squeeze the clip and unplug wire harness for gas pedal?!?

 

im interested to see a long term review about this.

 

Yeah it was a bit of a struggle to get the harness unclipped but then my hand strength isn't what it used to be. Some people unbolt the pedal so they can get to it easier. I think you're missing out on not using the response feature, it makes a huge difference. I nave the Sprint Booster for over two years now with no problems at all.

 

Remove the pedal, arghhhh … didn’t think of that or see that anywhere as an option. I did try it for a minute on the higher settings, just feel like I’m flooring it. Not sure if my model year has better mapping, but felt better when I first got it vs the 2019 Limited I test drove at the dealership.

 

I installed a competitor, Pedal Commander, also with Bluetooth no screen. And it truly wasn't hard. I just squeezed down under there. I highly recommend using the throttle response capabilities

 

+1 for the Sprint Booster. I have seen only one negative comment for it. (I don't remember the issue) If I could have only one mod, this would be it. Going on 2 years, no problems at all.

 

I had the Tacoma version installed for 2.5 years with no issues. Bought it before their rebranding from IDrive to Ultimate9. No bluetooth function on mine as far as I recall.

There should be a noticeable difference in throttle lag between even a low U setting (like U2) and the pass-through -- mode if you toggle between them back to back.

And yeah, installation requires a bit of contortion. Even more so in my case because the included harness had the wrong connector, so I had to snap a photo of the connector on the gas pedal in-situ.

I've since gotten a tune in my Tacoma that eliminates the need for the device in daily driving, but it can be useful in one of the E- modes for technical crawling on a trail.

 

Once I’ve finalized added weight, and go from 265/70s to 285/70s … if my truck feels like a dog, I’ll get the OTT Tune done. But I really like the additional layer for theft prevention since two 5th gen 4Runners have been stolen with 1.5 miles of my house in the last 3 weeks.

 

Hope you pay attention to the weight of the tires as well. as it might impact.

 

Forgive my dumbness, but looking for some guidance. I ordered this button off Amazon cause the red back lighting:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08H5X6B9W?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

The button fits in the extra slots, HOWEVER, it gets stuck once it's flush in there (requiring to pull the dash apart to push it out). And if the light bar is on, it's stuck "on." And if I didn't want to use a file on the plastic unless absolutely necessary.

So any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

 

First I would say try swapping with top row. I had luck with that.



Here's a pic of mine. Looks same as yours except the color -

 

Finished SPIDERTRAX 1.25 inch spacers, in gorgeous black aluminum. Only one stubborn spline lug. While I was in there, gave light rotor rust a fine sand, and cleaned brakes. My 0 offset wheels got some stance now

 

playdixie, I gotchu

I actually tried that at first. And high beam button is patterned different on sides. Wouldn't fit. But I appreciate your feed back.

Thank you! I remember reading that somewhere, but couldn't remember where. I'm prob gonna try this and see if it works.

 

No prob, it was fresh in my mind cuz I ordered recently. Please let us know your solution, I'll be trying it too

Edit: found this too from buddies Amazon link ↓

 

Ohhh..
Worst case here's the switch i'm using for my 2021. Just in case you want to try that.

Totally agree, which is what is causing me some hesitance. I keep track of everything in a spreadsheet, desired/purchased items, cost, USD to CDN, shipping cost, and weight delta (new lbs - removed lbs). Also track every tank of gas and mileage.
