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

They are getting ready to have a Fourth of July sale at the shop. According to the email the items they will sell will be in stock so im assuming they will have products available now….however I may have read it wrong lol

 

I'll have to ask them about that, thanks for the heads up! Your 4R looks great btw!

 

YES I agree.. isn't it Sherpa also that doesn't make you CUT the front part of the trim? I like that.. I have mixed feeling with the others where you have to cut a notch out..

 

Yes. You can also just buy Sherp's feet which I may do as I would really love to support Westcott given they are local. I don't think any of this is necessary, just my preference. As I said I don't think anyone has actually complained about leaking to my knowledge.

 

Yeah and from my research Westcott has the best rear ladder.. (in my opinion)

 

What did I do for my 4Runner today? Something that took about 5 minutes to install -- new red MESO push start button and MESO white trim ring. The site says trim ring is for Tacomas, but I took a $10 risk, and it fit perfectly. MESO website says the push buttons are out of stock. I got mine from Runnin4Tacos.com.

 

Oh man I have been thinking on getting one of those But would want Black trim ring.. Any idea where to get the black ring? How much of dash did you have to take apart?

 

Super easy. I did this when I had a Taco. No taking the dash apart.

But here's a quick vid of it being done on a Taco:

And if you just want a trim ring for push start:

NOTE: It says black is out of stock for just the trim ring, but there are a few other color choices.

 

Installed RCI engine skid.

 

Their rock sliders and weld quality are amazing as well.

I'm local so when I picked them up I took the opportunity to talk a bit with the staff over there. Very nice guys

 

Well their sale is live on the website….I thought it was a shop sale but it looks like pick up only. None of their products are on the sales list

 

Agreed….welds are legit…..not that looks of the welds are important as to the actual function of a slider but they do give you confidence they are made right.

 

So ... I just got back from Westcott. Amazing people. I was shown the whole company ... where they sell, install (both areas), where they pack and ship, where the machines do shit, where they powder coat ... Amazing experience and great customer service. I also did not leave empty handed ...

 

Awsome! I hope to go down there by end of August or sooner!

 

Let me know! I'll come meet up and get ready to grab a ladder or sliders haha. BTW their ladder looked really good in person, really good!

 

Yeah for sure..

 

OEM "rock rails" as Toyota likes to call them off! Ready for the Shrockworks sliders (hopefully tomorrow)!

Of course I had "help".

 

Washed, waxed and ready for a holiday road trip!

 

I want those wheels!!!

 

stock for the trail edition

 

I know, I just can't find them used and new they are more than the PRO wheels. Difficult to justify it. I'll find a set one day haha

 

damn, I didnt know they cost so much.

 

Customer sent me a pic of his vinyl installed. Actually looks better than I was expecting.

 

Finally ordered the Solidif3D LLC rear storage cover set.

 

F@ck you chrome lug nuts!

 

this is on my list. You end up going OEM?

 

ORP came with pro rims and chrome lugs. Figure I'll rattle can the lock lugs.

 

Yeah my ORP came with Pro rims and chrome lugs. Buying 4 sets of 6 is about $65 but I didn't know if there was a cheaper route. The chrome lugs make me cringe everytime I walk outside to the 4R.

 

Being a maintenance addict, especially regarding rust, i had a very minor debut in my rear left in the bottom , i sandblasted the corner, etch primer etc, disassembled the door to inspect inside , everything was fine and woolwaxed it

Just the after result , but remember to check yours

 

Finally added the rear cam after driving around with the Viofo A139Pro dash cam for awhile:
