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

Modified my rear hatch grate so I have better access and not have to unscrew any screws when removing middles section.

 

What size?

 

Stock!

265/70 R17

 

Dang, they look beefy for being stock size! I didn't realize Wildpeaks were so bulky like that. E or SL? How does acceleration feel since they're heavier?

 

They are SL's. They are only a few pounds heavier per wheel. But to be honest, I swapped out the stock tires the same day I bought the 4Runner, so I never got a good feel for how it previously drove.

Rolling resistance seems fine/normal though. I can easily average 20-21mpg with these big ass tires on; to me that seems like a huge win. They "look" cool but I'm not downgraded to getting 16MPG like some of the other guys (the ones that have 285's or E loads - Those fuckers are HEAVY!)

 

I'm going to guess one of the ABS wires got damaged or isn't seated properly.

 

I used a mom and pop for my alignment. The tech owned a 4Runner off-road and showed me the additional steps required for the alignment. It included syncing several items. Not sure how critical it is, but the software did display those steps included for the 4Runner.

 

BudBuilt Skids are painted and ready to install tomorrow!

 

Who you trying to BS???That is NOT sitting in Stock OEM compliance!! That IS the BEST Limited I have seen on here too!

 

So Raptor lights show up today. Looks like the harness IS long enough to go thru fire wall to pickup Tail/Stop Light Pwr supply so I can have them on W/"Parking lights!. The video from the Mfg made it look like it was only long enough to use in eng. bay, I was already to splice in wire so I can use the internal fuse box. We'll see Sat. IF I don't decide to do it tomorrow on working remote time??? Weather is supposed to be basically same both days BUT I always like to do stuff ASAP because you NEVER know what can come up work/personal wise too. I do have my Co. phone if email/call/text come thru! I get impatient when it comes to mods I had & want on new vehicle! Yeah I'm spoiled that way

 

@kojak - I second this post here. I did a "surprise" realignment off-roading in April which left the steering wheel cocked 30 deg left while driving straight and brought all those lights. The Alignment shop had to cycle through several steps to get the sensors to reset but the techs at the shop knew enough about 4 runners to make sure it all got completed before leaving.
As an aside, even though PCS / Traction Control were offline, the important 4X4 systems were still online. 4LO and 4HI and A-TRAC all functioned. (for me that was because it was zero calibration not a wheel-speed sensor which would have thrown off A-TRAC).

Your alignment shop should make this right or refund you the money and you can find a different local shop that is familiar with 4Runner alignments. (seems super suspect of them to say "all done" and have all these lights lit. I'd be concerned about trusting that shop to do any other work if they'd overlook something like that while driving out of the bay.)

 

I have a limited, so coming from 19" the Wildpeaks are noticeably heavier in regards to steering and driving in general. Just more meat on the ground with more grip. I saw 1mpg or so decrease.

 

Friggin awesome! And it is just plug and play with the factory radio USB port?

 

Got merged into today. Time to shop for an aluminum full bumper.

 

I've read that before, guess I'll take a look. Seems like a weird thing to damage doing an alignment though. Haven't found any resolutions from searching besides "the dealer recalibrated the PCS".

True, but I don't really feel like going round and round with them trying to fix it for the same reason. They did my last alignment with no issues.

 

What the HEY?? Man that sucks!!! IF they just "merged into you" I'd be LIVID!!! P.S, They hit YOU!!!

 

I was calm then, I’m a bit irritated about it now. Fortunately it’s relatively minor damage. I have a dash cam, so it’ll all play out alright.

 

Glad it wasn't any worse! That doesn't look too bad for being merged into. Luckily it didn't result in a larger accident

 

yep, get some!!

 

any dirt or crap on the front sensor?

 

crap!!! Yes time for full bumper

 

additonal steps? Sounds like BS to me

 

Somethings not right. i have a lifted 2022 Trail with 285’s and nothing had to be synced or reset. Had my local toyota dealership do it while i watched them. 20,000 later zero issues no warning lights ever.

 

2/1 cornfed with KMC 542’s and 275/70/17 wildpeak’s

After

 

Looking good.
Those pouches with the gray piping and the towel holder....where did you find those sir?
Thanks

 

So I have a quandary for all the soothsayers out there:

Today was heading down the interstate doing about 75. And suddenly my TPS threw an error and now isn't working. I'm guessing it's a sensor has gone bad perhaps? The only that has changed recently was newer rims (Toyota ones). Seems just weird timing after being on almost a week, and now this.

If the sensors have gone out, about how much do they run?

 

So I had some red laying around and decided to do the bits and pieces in red. All bolt heads too

 

Wow that's a killer price, way to go
Quality wheels man
FML I paid this each ↓

 

Please don't get KO2's

 

Photos of it installed for the boys!?
