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

@surfingbuddhist funky rig!!

 

I like the blue lettering and wheels, nice look!

 

Brought home our second 5th gen last night

 

New shoes. Michelin LTX M/S.

 

As if you read my mind...I was just researching on those. Are they stock or perhaps 255 /75R17s? What's your initial impression after a few miles?

 

Installed onboard Air. Still need to wire it up but the heavy part is done. Mount is Hefty Fabworks and is very nicely made plus it's aluminum so no rust worries. Switch will be right next to it.

 

I've been running the Defenders (LTXMS-265/70/17) on my '19 limited nightshade for a few months now and couldn't be happier...about 10k on them in blizzards, rain, dry country roads and yes even a few logging roads (trails)...they have been great all around and haven't impacted my mileage...just look kinda plain but I like the sleeper aspect ;-p

 

I’ve run them on 3 different Tacomas, and my wife’s 2 Lexus GX’s. Absolutely love them. Good wear, good traction and good ride. I used stock size on the 4Runner. One size up on my Tacomas.

 

I just recently had an Overland Tailor Tune loaded. Overall, very nice improvement to my '21 Pro. Helps with shifting quite a bit, all but eliminated hunting. I went with the mild throttle map, which is only slightly more aggressive than stock but in my opinion very much matches the truck. I also wanted to preserve some throttle precision capability when off-road and in low range. Very much recommended.

 

New floor mats!
Always had weather tech floor mats but they curled up on the corners. Trying out these husky floor mats

 

Ceramic coating and a blackout kit.

 

Not technically today- it was Saturday EOD and finally got a good shot yesterday- put Methods 701’’s on and my wife got the trd pro wheels for her off road.

 

How are you liking the Sherpa rack?

 

Love the Sherpa rack. With a few turns on the hex wrench by bar, you can slide them in any direction. For heavy load, you can bring them closer to carry the weight or lighter camping loads, spread them out to carry more on top. Also, pretty easy to install after watching a few YouTube videos.

 

Every YouTube video seems to leave something out … LOL. Now that weather is getting nicer, I’m waiting for a dry weekend to install my Black Friday purchase (and my wife can use the dining room again, lol).

 

Added Wescott ladder, definitely not straightforward as YouTube vids. BUT, I found adding a folded towel between ladder bottom and hatch (vs masking tape) did the trick to make things faster and easier.

 

Looks great! This is the same ladder I'm planning on doing when I add a Sherpa Crestone this spring/summer.

 

Nice.. I haven't tried weather tech but for sure I like husky floor mats. I got them when there was a sale few years back at Home Depot online. (No I'm not joking, HomeDepot).

 

I normally dislike bronze wheels but those are really nice! SCS?

 

Inspired by @gburd this is my new 23 4Runner with 316s and KO2s. Stock size no lift. I can not take as nice pics as @gburd maybe will try again when its overcast.

 

This was exactly my problem as well with them. I have had them for years now but now thinking I need to give others a chance. For me their second row was really bad -- always the lip would turn inwards causing some lack of coverage.
I have the port installed all weather mats right now but am guessing these are pretty bad. Don't know why toyota sells such crappy quality ones.

 

I’ll try these out and give feedback in a few months after some wear.

 

Haha damn Home Depot coming through

 

I Have not posted anything in a while, so....Here is one.

 

Admired how gorgeous a new 4R is from underneath

 

Nice, strong as hell lower control arms. OptOffroad. On the pic I have got only rear lower ones, but I did the full kit. Both rear upper and lower one. Emkeith skid plates on those links, red accented. I love them.

 

Covered my whole rig in PPF. This one was done by a specialist.






Decals I did myself. Ordered them from one of the members on this site.
AVS bugflector.....

 

Some speed sensors protective covers and the latest addition, sumo spring, blue on the front.

 

And here we have got:

Rear diff skid plate
Shocks skid plates - red accent, I love it.
Sumo springs black, thicker and denser than the blue option. I tow my trailer sometimes. OEM stop bumpers are gone for now....
Differential breather and diff locker breather also installed.
And everything smeared with the rust inhibitor.

 

Finally got around to washing it. First proper wash since putting on the new wheels & sliders
