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

5 gallon fuel bladder under the hood. Agreed, this is a very bad idea. But why?

Thanks (before someone gets killed).

 

Um, could you pull over up there? I think I'll walk the rest of the way.

 

wow what a difference. Im ordering some!

 

whats the youtube channel, I wanna watch too!!!

 

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO. ABSOLUTELY NO FLAMMABLES BY A HEAT SOURCE. (Coming from the former firefighter).

 

Dude... I don't even know where to start. Melting point of that bag? Vapor containment? What keeps it from sliding into driving belts and get shredded to bits? You are not serious. If you just wanted reaction from members here, I guess you got it:

 

its gotta be a joke right?

 

It's in his profile.

 

I almost am ready to pull the trigger on this skid plate... wondering if the bolts and stuff that rust out could be replaced with stainless steel?

 

Which skid plate? CTH or RCI? Regardless, any bolts can be replaced.

 

my bad... the bolts for the oil filter access plate on the cartrimhome skid plate...

 

Here is the cerebral answer rather outrage. https://www.mechical.com/2023/04/mythbusters-pumping-gas-while-car-is-running.html That while statistically rare NOT worth the risk.

Thanks to all who participated; another life saved.

 

thx!

 

Yeah this is dumb!! I had to order blades today since the inserts don't even come out of mine. Annoying.

 

I should get a Husky sponsorship with all their parts I've put in the 4Runner The P/N 25721 cargo liner ships rolled up in a box. It has to be weighed down on a flat surface with other objects to gradually flatten over a few days. Even so, the area around the rear cargo hooks doesn't want to stay down. Size-wise it fits well.

 

I have that same one and love it. Flattened out pretty quick in the Texas heat.

 

I’ve got this one as well. Same as above, AZ heat took care of flattening it. Now it sits perfectly flush as if it was part of the 4R.

 

Before it gets dirty.

 

I love mine. And the annoying occasional rattle is gone from the driver side.

 

Yesterday I cleaned up the garage, and then did the 5000 mile service on the 4Runner. In addition to the recommended 5k service, I did an oil change (severe duty schedule) and greased the SPC uppers. My dog helped.

 

Damn! I could eat off that garage floor. But nice rig!

 

Alittle off topic...but what jack stands are you using. 3 or 6 ton? I'm wondering mostly for height. If I was home I should go measure some stuff, but I'm stuck at work. Anyone know if a 3 ton is tall enough without the use of a block, or are 6 ton needed??

 

Yes. I probably would have gotten stainless steel bolts if I had kept that skid.

 

I am using some 6 ton jacks I picked up at Northern Tool. They work great with the 4Runner, my Camry, not so much. I picked up some Race Ramps for the Camry oil changes.

 

Tested out my new pressure washer and foamer. Then went for a ride on the one and only singletrack trail within a hundred miles or so.

 

Changed the oil today then smoked a chicken. Living the dream!

 

l’ve got 6 tons as well. 3 tons might be fine, but for the price difference might as well get 6 tons.
That’s what I have https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074R17GL4?ie=UTF8

 

I was just looking at those.

 

That's a haul for a mountain bike ride! I would be would be in a deep state of depression if I had to trek that far to ride! I hope to ride some of the Black Hills Trails this Fall.

 

What did I do?

made a terrible decision and traded in my Tacoma for a 4Runner lol
