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

Nice! Which covers are those?

 

The exact one quoted in your screenshot.

 

Added Caliraised LED interior molle window panels and high shelf. A little disappointed with the powder coating on some areas of the window panels. Fitting for assembly and attaching was great, no missing screws or washers. For the silver spacers (2 for each side panel) I wrapped them with one layer of black duct tape. I didn’t realize how heavy the assembled shelf is (20.5 lbs). The side panels are 7 lbs each, so a total of 34.5 lbs, minus the 8 lbs cargo cover for a net increase of 26.5 lbs. Doesn’t impede too much on rear view mirror (shelf circled in red for what shows up). With the mild 2” lift that I have it’s more the bottom half of my mirror that I’m using now. If I end up with rear tire carrier, I’ll end up getting a camera mirror.

 

Soon…

 

After putting it off for far too long, the 4Runner finally got re-geared this week. Went with 4.88 Nitro gears. Also installed some Total Chaos cam tabs due to some issues with alignment always getting out of whack. So far it rides so much better!

 

Thanks a for sharing this picture here @5six. It looks so nice as usual. Carry on!

 

Are those seat covers? If so, what type and how do you like them?

 

damn..looks like the backs only fit those w/o the cargo tray

 

Beautiful build - indeed well done on all ends. I have been debating on getting the rear bumper by victory, with no swings. How do you like this bumper? I'm not hardcore out so don't need the swings but do like the idea of the bumper alone. Just trying to get opinions from those that have it. Nice build bud!

 

Installed my S2 chase lights and Meso puddle lights

 

nice! you're one of the lucky ones who have gotten to order the MESO puddle lights..

 

very excited when I saw the restock email

 

Saturday morning clean Body Mount Chop
+ pinch weld & wheel well hammering
+ trim / reweld fender mount

 

Using Canvasback cargo liners, just for the back seats of the second row. The cargo floor liner is Husky.

 

As soon as I got the
Email, it was out of stock. I guess I was not quick enough.

 

Gave her a wash and changed up the emblem on the front grill.

 

That was me for the last year. I hope you catch the next restock bud.

 

Should have got a pic on the lift while it was up there, but got a CSC850 undercoating today. Dealership was pushing their flexseal shit hard, but there wasnt a chance I was doing that. Beautiful weather this week worked out great. Was able to get it done before any of next week's rain/snow

 

How did you wire it?
What did you use for relay/fuse

 

Installed the Diode Dynamics hitch mount LED running/reverse light. Definitely a nice little accent piece and seems to be pretty high quality. I was mostly impressed by the nice harness it came with that goes right into the back of the 7 pin hitch plug.

 

LED hatch lights

 

Blackened the front badges today

 

Is this the 43" Cali Raised LED bar on a Crestone roof rack? Can I ask which lightbar mounts you used? I just picked up a Crestone and I'm looking at this lightbar but I'm not sure which mounts to use.

 

Thanks! It's been fun going down this rabbit hole. For the victory bumper, overall I really like the design and functionality. The welds look good and the overall build quality has been good. The only issue I've had so far, is the powder coating job they did is terrible. Constantly peeling off and having to be sanded and corrected. I'm also down near salt water a lot, fishing; and the salt water/mud can get under the powder coat causing significant rust on the undersides of the bumper. If you get this bumper, it will be great, but don't do the powder coated option. Have it treated and painted somewhere else or do it yourself.

 

Caca commander out. Anyone want it?



Husky Liners in but unfortunately my extinguisher mount interferes so I removed it for now.

 

I'll take it.

 

Oil change today.

Switched over to Mobil 1 0w-30 ESP in anticipation of warmer spring/summer weather.

Also did a prop shaft greasing. Been putting it off too long.

 

Now that you have 0w30, does the dipstick slide in and out like it’s on ball bearings now? I thought it was worth it, just for that! . No but seriously, checking the oil is pure luxury now.

 

I can't say I have particularly noticed that yet, but I look forward to a luxury dipstick experience next time.

 

OffRoam mount paired with bulletpoint MagSafe mount. A little pricey for a phone mount but worth it
