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

You can easily temporarily move the smog pump assembly aside to allow for greater access to the factory ground point. But if that's not an option for you for some reason, it does appear there is a factory threaded hole location just in front of and below the smog pump assembly. That is more than likely an M6x1 thread, which is commonly a bolt with a 10mm head. That may provide you with a good grounding point, but purists might say you would want to remove some of the paint at that point to be sure.

 

If you damaged it driving into that giant ass rock just to take another flex photo you could just start trying to avoid them...

 

Yeah, it was my 100% my mistake. I pushed it to the limit, its a truck, not a rock crawler. Will use some touch up paint to hide my stupidity.

 

Viper cut?

 

Finally got these damned things installed. Lord have mercy y'all! All I'm gonna say is if you have a friend(s) that has/have a shop with a lift, take advantage of that (even if you have to perform certain unmentionable acts). It probably makes it SOOOO much easier to have vehicle on a lift. (Sorry no pics). It's not complicated at all. It's just a PITA to be on the ground, lift those shields up, make sure they're seated correctly, and tighten bolts up.

Overall, I'm happy with them.

 

what shifter is that? Also, what carbon fiber kit did you use on the console? Looks fantastic.

 

Carbon is factory I believe….. mine is anyways.

Great idea. And now recommend a product

 

Washed it after months and then tried a new wax. It shines!!
Oh, added some sound deadening on random areas around the dash.

Just to share how quick and easy it is to check the weight of your 4runner -

Well for a Viper cut there is no product, you cut the existing bumper. There's lots of You Tube videos on it.

 

Added these molle panels and shelf to help keep more organized a better when hunting or camping - less stacking moving forward….hopefully. Nothing installed on the panels, not sure if I will or what will go there but I was mainly interested in the shelf. This is made by iTrims on Amazon, I believe these are sold under several different names. I couldn’t justify the cost for name brand for something like this.

 

Friday not as warm as today but think I'll install the DS Grab handle kit from KTJO. Also watching Brite Box Anytime. It's @$106 right now if they have a Black Friday sale or not will purchase it then. Way easier then last anytime I did adding relay/splicing wire in steering column. Obviously more $$, BUT I'm at the age where $$$ doesn't matter if it make's it easier, I'm for it. Maybe Raptor lights. May do interior LED's again too.AT 1st oil change will go W/Aluminum bowl "despite" the hype! (What ever that meant???) Already have tool from last 4R may as well make more use of it.

 

Since I am a Body Armor steep bumper, so this set up from Body Armor will look good. What you say?

 

This is the price you pay, when you're trying to flex really hard, on the Instagram'.

 

Like I said before, good trail damage, now I will improve my Approach angle

 

I have the C4 Lo Pro bumper with the high clearance additions, as do quite a few guys on here. It's a pricy way to go but I think it looks nicer than just a viper cut, plus having a winch is nice too.

 

Please post a picture, I want to see

 

I like it!

 

Musashisushi tempted me with the C4 Painted my stupidity for the time being.

 

Are those 35s?

 

My exact plan in January

https://youtu.be/pg3UjvvYH9M?si=fVXlhEQIoYVrhFHo

 

68 inches, remember that number. Hit a like if you hate air matresses.

 

No, 33's. Didn't feel like doing a regear yet.

 

I am on 34s and don't feel the need for regear. The thing drives perfectly fine, except the mpg is crap

 

I should have done 34s and once these Baja Boss A/T's are up for replacement I'll go up to 34s. I'll definitely stick with the Mickey Thompsons though, I love these tires.

 

Added some sun visor covers from 4Runner Lifestyle…. As all of the reviews state, they are a bit too loose, there’s some sagging, but it better than looking at those hideous warning labels. Not entirely satisfied but for $12 it’s ok.
