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

Replaced the charcoal canister, purge valve and valve hose. Hopefully that P0456 should go away now.

 

Replaced 2 warrantied Ironman shocks, that makes 3 shocks in under 35k miles. Had to rebuild my passenger side parking brake. Installed 3D printed Perry Parts rear bump stops.

 

What do you think is causing that?

 

No idea. They were leaking. I drive this hard, but my OEM shocks were still good after 100k. Debating going Dobinson MMR in the near future. I only have a year left of my warranty, so hopefully they make it.

 

Where did you get that sticker from? I like it.

 

Ha, thanks! I had the wife cut it on her vinyl cutter.

 

Trailered my BBQ smoker to church to smoke about 80 pounds of pork butts for an event.

 

Fixed driver door not unlocking by touching the door handle (still worked using key FOB). The cable that connects to the lock/unlock lever of the door had come out of its holder. I probably did not set it in correctly when I was done putting in new speakers. On the plus side, I'm getting pretty good at removing and installing the door panel

 

FYI, TufSkinz has them for the stock skid they use 3M adhesive.

 

Im jealous. Ive looked on Etsy, Amazon, Fleabay, and even Toyota for a simple "TRD" sticker vinyl and have come up with nothing. I have the same skid plate set up and wanted to stick it in the exact same spot etc...

YES!! Thank you!

 

Just got done with a exterior detail, took me the better part of three days. Wash, pull skid plates, pull mud flaps, pull rack, chassis wash, fluid film, repainted front skid, tar/bug removal, brake dust decon, clay bar, compound, Adams graphine coat, water spot removal on glass, clean glass, clean and treat all rubber and trim... Kind of surprised how easy Adams was to use, was much better than applying the ceramic i used in the past.

 

TVD vinyl decals will be a cheaper option then the tufskinz, but the tufskinz are plastic about 3/16" thick.

 

Yeah that's the same issue I ran into so had to bribe her to cut this one lol. It's not outdoor rated vinyl but figured I'd give it shot and see how it held up and would get outdoor vinyl once it started having issues. If you want it in red I have an extra I can mail you if you PM me your address.

 

PM Sent, thank you!

 

With your experience make me think whats said in Tinkers Adventure Ironman FCP review is wrong? I better keep my eye on any leaks.

 

I am no more stock. My boy got KO2s. Now I can do some wheeling with confidence

 

shitty company making shitty parts

 

What a joke of a tire for a TRD Offroad. Come on Toyota!

 

Much better now

 

Drove home from work for the last time, now working remote W/62,855 mi on it. Looks like I should make my 75k for the 2025. If I do this will be the longest I've owned a vehicle because of the miles not going over 82k except my Mustang GT had 115k when traded it in.

 

$600. 265/70/R17 Bridgestone Duellers A/T

 

You can't beat the space in this thing. 4 big tires look like nothing. Who needs a Tacoma's bed.

 

This reminds me that I posted on the Tacomaworld forum a while back that I wanted a set of takeoffs from a new(er) Tacoma. I need a set of tires for my 2003 Tacoma, 265/70/16, which come stock on some new Tacomas. I figured someone in my area would do like you and replace them...I got nothing, no hits at all. I posted that 4 months ago.

 

there’s literally 20 other vehicles with more interior space than a 4runner

 

Are they truck based SUVs of the same class?

 

you mean overweight, underpowered, no towing capacity class?

I get you love your 4runner, but interior room is an odd thing to brag about.

 

HT = highway terrain

The Dunlop AT20s were stock on mine, nice ride, but I wanted better rain traction. For a final cost of $290, I switched them out for the Bridgestones. No fishtails on wet concrete while turning now.

 

I love my interior space. I think it’s quite cubular, convenient, and spaceous. It’s not as much space as a semi truck, but it’s pretty close. And I can park it anywhere, unlike a tractor-trailer.

 

I am not sure that cargo space is one of the fortes of the 4runner. I carry a folding table, wagon and some other stuff and it fits but not what I call spacious.

 

I measure my cargo space by how many bodies it can hold. I find it more than adequate
