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

SLEE mount with the switch right next to it…figured I’d have to pop the hood anyways to connect the hose(no air lockers just electric rear)

Thinking of trying out the vertical behind the grill mount from “runnin4tacos”…

save some space but scared of what an accident could do to it

also have to negotiate space with my winch control box once I put my front bumper on

this would then free up space for electrical/power stuff

passenger/driver really comes into play I guess with options down the road…air tank, dual battery, accessory tray, having to/not hanging to relocate other stuff in the engine bay…

 

I love you guys. Thanks. You know, I've been thinking about a single. My 4Runner is armored and slider'd to the hilt in part because I made a decision to stay small on tires and lift, knowing I'm clearance limited. I've been considering the possibility with 265s I might not need the dual compressor.

 

Mine is only used for airing up my stock size SL tires after beach runs. 18-34psi take about 2 minutes a piece. Not too bad. If I run 33s, I would get the twins.

 

Hefty and MORE make passenger mounts

We've been running the single with no issues for years. I mounted it in the same spot as the dual I just put it. It has been perfect. I just got a deal on the dual that I couldn't pass up so I upgraded. They say a single is good up to 33" tires and I agree with that. A set of 33" takes a while to pump up from flat with a single but it does it.

 

Exactly... Airing up is roughly half the time (two compressors haha) as a single. I wouldn't have gotten the dual (even with 33-35's) if I didn't get a deal. The single did great for us. Awesome little unit.

 

It's one factory bolt bro, if I'm rock crawling, I'm taking multiple things off my rig

 

I have no issues, just swap wheels and go. I'm assuming back when I got the second set of wheels and had shop install the tpms they programmed them. The 4Runner is picking up both sets of wheels with no issues.

 

Was the install pretty straightforward? Have the readings been accurate?

 

Upgraded the JBL sound system by replacing the sub and adding a dedicated sub amp. I went with the OEM audio plus solution. Pretty straight forward install. PITA with all the disassembly required in the back - sliding tray, seat, panel, etc.
Sounds really, really good for what it is.
I got a spare, bare factory enclosure to send in to OEM Audio for retro-fit of their sub to the factory enclosure. They won't send you the sub to install yourself. So I went with the spare enclosure to eliminate downtime. Got a factory one now to sell if anyone has interest (pictured)!




PS - if you go this route, it's a great time to add the 120V outlet option to the front of your cabin since you are right there at the inverter location when doing this!

 

It just needs power and a ground. It seems like the readings are on par with a gauge.

 

Sweet!
Would you be willing to print and sell one? I have the same camera and mounted mine with plastic sheet as well and it is not holding up as well as I had hoped. Looking for something like this

 

My 3d printer is packed up at the moment in prep for a move, if you can wait a few weeks I can get some printed then.

If not you could find a local printer on fb marketplace for few bucks, this is the STL i used https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4963162

 

Got some new kicks! Finally mounted the TRD rims with Toyo AT3s 285/70 C load.

 

got rid of more silver

 

Spidertrax. Not sure if I like it. First two pics - no spacers

 

Where did u end up getting the shift knob from?

Reinstalled remote starter from Accessorides, just in time for Spring to arrive in MN.

 

where did you get this? Or did you just paint it

 

Crossing Lake Conroe yesterday morning and a duck decided to turn into me. Closed my eyes so glass in my hair, all over the interior and back seat, but not in my eyes. Thankfully I carry glass coverage so I have a wrecker coming to get it in the morning to take it to Safelite. No deductible and the wrecker will be covered. First world problem really. I’ve lived around and driven across this bridge for over 45 years and this has never happened. And no, I didn’t get to retrieve the duck for dinner.

 

Doesn't Safelite have a mobile service? They'll come to you so you won't have to get a tow.

 

Almost similar to my glass when a big rock hit. But my tint catched all the glass pieces. In 2017 the glass was just $315 at Safelite (didn't claim via insurance, paid my own money) and tint was $300. I was thinking what a waste of money when the glass needs replaced. This reminds me that I should think about a tint again if similar happens again. My tint was 90% light pass through (3M crystalline CR90), so not a lot of light loss at night driving. My cars had CR70 and it wasn't my choice at night.

Edit-
BTW, I didn't like the quality of Safelite glass. Next time I'm going to fight for OEM Toyota glass. And TSS calibration at Toyota.

 

damn that sucks

 

correct. They come to you

 

Dayum, was that a duck or a warthog?

 

Wow, something I would never think to watch for.

 

Painted front valence black. I couldn’t get all the clips off (not sure how people do it), so just decided to mask the car as I’ve seen others do here. Came out “ok”, but anything is better than the silver (temporary till I get C4 bumper).

Bolted on RCI filler engine skid plate (if you have a TRD one already), and transmission skid plate with the 2 catalytic converter anti theft shields. I have the Cartrimhome engine skid plate for KDSS, and as you can see their hardware isn’t zinc plated. Rusted after 6 weeks. Good thing I used antisieze grease.

 

Nice work, and rig! Shitty about that hardware tho, assholes lol. Want something done right gotta do it yourself sometimes unfortunately, I bought some of my own skid hardware and spacers. Regarding your front valance, I've said in here before, don't listen to people - that front bumper has to come off for them clips
