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

I’ve had an American made Master Lock outdoors for 27 years and it still works like brand new?

 

ACF50 is a good corrosion preventative product too

I'd say he doesn't have KDSS based on the aluminum skid plate. I was curious about these as well since I have KDSS. Still considering the Apex. I'll be interested in how your install goes.

Thanks buddy, I didn't have time to look closer at his page or truck my bad. I'll remember this and tag you when I install this fall brother. Bought the cutting oil for drilling already lol @Burnt Taco

 

Yeah man I think that's the way to go. I have one of those master locks and it's been fine for over a year outside (on a fence not a car).

 

I have the Apex points, non-KDSS. Install is simple if you’re comfortable turning a wrench. No drilling needed. They (YouTube) have an easy to follow install video.

 

How did you make this work, thas my hold up on the molle panels. Can you share some other photos please.

 

Cupholder replacement........upgrade I think! Factory cupholders are nice but I often find my soft inserts coming out with my drink container. I got a set of 3D printed ones that are really nice. I got some from a couple different sellers and took some pictures to show you the difference. One is certainly higher quality than the other. I like 'em. Wish they said TRD, but tough to get trademark stuff like that I understand.

 

Deleted the "T" with a stealth grille.

 

How do you like it?

 

here’s an update from Morimoto on the headlights .

 

Great. Thanks.

 

I put velcro on my OEM's never had them pull out after. Just a thought for others if they don't wantta go after market product.

 

Has anyone done the anytime fog light mod on the newer 4Runners say 2020 & up? I know it's the basic vehicle but W/other sensors does that make any difference?

 

To be totally honest, I can’t friggin tell the difference. I had expected to go on a 4 day trip but it fell apart. :/

on a couple of day trips felt nice but didn’t do anything major to really test them

 

My first touch up paint on my 234RORP. The divot itself was maybe 1/3 of a millimeter. I used a hole punch to create a mask for it while I did the graphene coating.

I started off by using an unaltered toothpick to drop the paint in. It didn't hold enough paint to transfer, so I used a razor to chop off the tip of the toothpick. Not completely happy with the method yet, but I can refine it more on my next touch up spot. I prepped the surface with some 91% isopropyl alcohol on the tip of a mini Japanese q-tip. They are individually packaged with a removable cover so that you can avoid soiling the other end before you use it. They are $1.50 at the Daiso Japanese store, possibly near you.

 

A Honda dealer ex detailer who moved up told me yrs ago when we ordered my wife's Accord EX to use match book matches. The end that gets torn out of pack. I've used that since vs the brush that comes W/OEM paint bottle touch up.

 

Yes, paper can be a good tool for larger spots, but it's a little less controlled. I also have model paint brushes (Testor Micro Sponges). With the diameter so small, I wanted something that was more controlled. Next time, I will take a toothpick, cut the tip off and use a metal file to clean up the end.

I also heated the touch up paint so that it would flow smoothly and lie down better.

 

I used a device called Brite Box to achieve this function. Works fine. 2021 ORP

 

So you can have fog lights on with any/all including HiBeam or no lights?

 

Yes

Installed the front Bilstein 5100 set to the 1.75 setting. I’ll make my own thread in regards to what my experience is….

 

Got her loaded up and ready for a camping, shooting and obviously drinking weekend!

 

Weather tech are worth their money! That is a 24 ounce miller lite floating. I know it’s early

 

I did mine at 1.75 a few days ago. Stiffer over potholes with more jostling, but also less dive and lean. I did not purchase rear shocks but will put the 1" cornfed spacers in soon so people can stop flashing their brights at me.

Suppose I need an alignment, especially since I used the "no spring compressor" method. Although, if I wear the stock Grapplers out I'll have the perfect excuse to upsize....

Anyway, today I popped on some nice AJT climate and radio knobs as the first step towards de-silvering the interior.

 

My 4R does not have KDSS. My install was 100% bolt on and no need to drill. I didn't even remove the front wheels to install these. It turned out to be a really easy process for me. I spent tons more time prepping for the project than the actual install. I really like the design and engineering that went into these. Feel free to PM me anytime if you've got any questions about how I went about it!

 

Saturday morn KDSS flexing, found some flat ground to speed up straightening out a little parking lean

 

Oh no! what happened? Was it not tightened hard enough? or did you get a defective one?

I've been looking at possibly getting one to reduce sag since I plan on getting a motorcycle carrier on the tow hitch.
It's either this or airbags. I like the simplicity of sumo springs compared to airbags but for my need I would need the black version and I'm wondering if it'll make the ride too stiff when the motorcycle carrier is not being used (which would be 99% of the time)

 

I’m an idiot, I meant the trip fell apart. I really should type out all my words :/
