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

I added a Luxious Automotive TPMS readout to my 19. I like it but need to decide the final position. I haven’t peeled the protective film from the display so it that’s why it looks like crap. The later models would have this displayed in the dash.

 

Tell us more.
What all comes with this?
How do you install it?
What does it connect to?
How does it operate?
Isn’t that display really tiny?

 

It was 70 today after snowing(briefly) the other day and I had the day off. All I did was open the moonroof and back window, and burn the tar out of my bald head while I was out running around. Totally worth it.

 

Comes with a harness, the display and the antenna. It can tell you tire pressures and temp along with voltage. It will warn you of low pressure or high temp. It reads off of your OEM sensors and you program it by setting it to watch for a change in pressure. It is a small display so line of sight would be best. They do offer other types of displays but would need to be mounted somewhere. I currently have it in the far left blank position that faces down but will move it to just the left of the center stack but I have my Anytime Backup cam switch there.

I just buttoned up the rear lights, all done.
One of my new fav mods man, practical, and works when the trucks off

Check these night shots ! before & after

 

Where did you purchase those?

 

Can you please share the link to buy.
Looks like all I have to do is put in watch mode and just drive for a little for it to find the tpms? Sounds perfect. The pathetic Toyota dealerships around me doesn't even want/know to add a sensor to my spare and have the readout on my 2021 dash. This sounds perfect for my 2019.

 

Yes Also interested in those

 

So unfortunately for USA they're from Canada wide privately owned Princess Auto, 2pk $80 CAD MSRP. But their in house offroad lighting brand is US based EVERGEAR Automotive (from IA/MO)..

Added build photos and description links to newly created Media albums. Din know we could do that. Check my Member Profile

 

Thank you for the link. $150 seems same as Scanguage2 where not only you can monitor TPMS.

 

I thought again about how many times I've installed and removed my AVS bug guard.

I remain undecided. Some days I think it's a good thing, other days I hate it.

 

I love mine, but is a weathertech

 

I've had the weather tech too. I actually prefer the AVS but either one is fine as a product. It's just some days I hate the way they look.

 

i feel the same way about my Yakima rack. Some days i love the look but other days i hate the wind noise it produces at highway speeds

 

I had the same rack on my 03 4Runner. The wind was a thing but without dissing your choice, I found it limited functionally and ended up ditching it for something with a larger footprint, lower profile and a more conventional bar system.

 

I love mine. And given it's coming up to be warm weather, bugs have started to come out in full force. Just ask the front of my 4R. Windshield survived a trip into the Missi'ppi Delta. As they, IYKYK.

 

unfortunately i didnt have a choice as it came standard on the trail edition. I could have done without it just like that droning TRD exhaust.

 

What did I do today you may ask? Installed some Baja Design Fog lights and some off brand ditch lights from Amazon. I'm sorta on the fence about the ditch lights. There's nothing wrong with them

OEM fog lights:

Both sides installed:

Put a new digit on the odo

 

I have the Weathertech as well but it didn't stop the rock that hit my windshield with only 800 miles on my 2023. Oh well.

 

I can never decide on the bug guard and your pics have been helpful because I have the same truck and color.

As for the basket the sound doesn’t bother me, the vehicle loud in the highway or in rain anyways because there’s little to none sound dampening. And that’s fine, I didn’t but the truck for that. I actually took mine off for the winter because I didn’t want it carrying a frozen block of ice after snow and I knew it would be a pain to get all the snow cleared. I just put it back on Monday.

 

Got new rubbers

 

The rear has none that I’ve seen. I haven’t had it all apart but basically right under the plastic it the body of the truck. No dampening. But that’s ok.

 

thx

i have a 2011 SR5 w/o a rack and set up just like my 2022 and it is very quiet on the highway even at 75+. I dont know why, maybe better sound dampening back then?

 

Something I wish I did the first month I had it, painted the valence on the rear part of the bumper. I bought Plasti Dip, but I wish I bought proper automotive paint instead, as sanding the first coat of paint doesn’t work so well on this stuff. And I also wish I had one of those spray can grip sprayers, as it would’ve helped me get a much smoother finish. In any case, it looks so much better, and I know I can easily take it apart and redo it. Feels like I still have a 1/3rd of the can left. Going to the front next, see if I can try and stick to the remainder can, as I’m cheap, lol. Total cost $26 Cdn, and about 2 hrs (plus waiting for paint to dry). Now that I know what I’m doing, I can probably do it in 45 mins or less (rear bumper only).

 

Fog lights is looking nice on the 4runner
Best,

Thanks! Just a recommendation if you haven't upgraded yet. This dashcam is awesome, when I load up the rear with gear, it still lets me see out the back, don't see the headrest and able to see down low backing up by panning up or down.. Only negative about it is when it rains because the camera is outside, which is why I wanted to put it inside, not a deal breaker.
