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

It's 55476-0C060-B0 and I paid about $70 for the piece

 

For sure! I have three sons (23 and 19 year old twins) and they should know better by now. Maddening - they never return the tools to the proper place! I had a complete ratchet set for over 20 years and in the past four years they have lost half of the sockets. Drives me bat shit crazy!

 

LOL I'm guilty of doing that with my pops tools when I was younger, then I bought my first complete set, went out to use it and half of my stuff was missing. Turns out my pops took whatever he was missing from mine and said, 'now you know what it feels like'. I learned my lesson and for the past 18 or so years I haven't lost one tool yet.

 

Ha! I meant to add that to my prior comment as well. My dad was not a happy camper when he had to search for tools (3 sons also). What goes around, comes around!

 

Not sure why the OEM black out emblem kit doesn’t come with the two grill pieces, so I ordered a cheap set off Amazon. Fit quality is awful, but at least all the exterior trim is now black.

 

that’s weird your pre-collision sensor is malfunctioning. I have no issues with mine after my lift and with 285s

 

Same, I went up 1 3/4" in the front before doing the rear almost a month later but never had any PCS issues.

 

i did 2” in front and 1.5” in the back with 285’s. I guess we got lucky.

 

Paid it off.

 

Congrats! I will be joining you shortly, been paying double or triple of my monthly, so if everything goes to plan I'll be debt free in 5-8 months!

 

Did the same with the extra payments and had a smallish loan anyways. Feels good to be free and clear.

 

Smart father!

 

Gave Casper a much needed bath today. Wiped interior down, vacuumed, and cleaned glass. Not perfect, but better than what it was.

 

Aw yeah damn dats clean!
I cleaned the Mickey's today

 

I wish I had a small loan. Put 20k down, but happened to NEED to buy a new car at the worst time, hence paying it off asap.

 

I did that as quick as I could as well. Purchased in January and paid that damn loan off in February. Dealer was like we like to ask that you keep the loan for at least 6 months, i guess so they get their kick back. I told them that is not going to happen at signing of the paperwork.

 

That's just hilarious.

 

lol at dealer "asking" you to keep the loan. You shoulda just asked "sure, whats my cut?"

 

That is actually what I did ask them....they looked at me know what do you mean? They were like nothing and I replied okay then it will be paid off in less than a month. Unbelievable! So dumb they try to take everything they can for us! Don't play their damn games!

 

My wife bought me a workshop/shed and the neighbors put it together. I have spent weeks sorting tools (One day just on screwdrivers, one on locks & keys, one on sockets). I musta found 30 or so 10mm and 7/16ths sockets=but you can never find one when you need it!!!

 

lol.

 

The Germans have Gremlins, the Irish have Leprechauns, the Cornish have Picksies, Dutch have "Those Da-- kids!!"

 

My cali raised sliders and the roof rack delete kit came in today. Still waiting on my truck to put them on.

 

Some new power tools to assist with the rear seat delete and platform build

 

I bought a kit like that (DeWalt)=my most useful set of tools. Added a chain saw and some others as well. REALLY useful!!!

 

yeah still need a jigsaw, just wish they offered one with a battery and a charger

 

Home Depot has one for $100.....DEWALT 20V MAX Cordless Jig Saw (Tool Only) DCS331B - The Home Depot

 

yeah I saw that earlier, but I would like it to come with a charger(would like to have a second) and a battery. I guess I'll just buy the jig and router since it comes with a charger and battery. I know I'll need the router too

 

yeah ok Mr. Dealer…. To funny

 

For grill light / raptor light haters - Look at this pathetic ugly 4Runner.

For those who don't hate grill light / raptor light -

​

If you are like me who don't have DRLs due to any reason, in my case the DRL only 9005 bulb converted to 2nd highbeam / quad highbeam, I changed my amber grill lights to white. I think I like white as its very much like a DRL now and may be excused if a cop try to question me. As previously the power is coming from the cigarette lighter / 12v circular outlet and has a dash switch to turn on and off if needed. Didn't create a video though since its a simple thing and didn't have much time today to record. Maybe a post install video in future explaining how I did it just like a quad highbeam video explaining on a paper.
