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

Bought a set of Phillips H9 light bulbs back in 2018.

First one just went out on me.

Pretty good run, IMO.

 

This reminds me to find an excuse soon to go fart around and exercise the 4WD, and an excuse to get away from the old lady

 

@raimieb
Right!?
My wife will complain about taking care of the toddlers during a busy dad work week, then I cautiously ask for permission to take a job out of town and she instantly says yes, of course, get out of here

 

Finally washed it. The dark color and a dusty daily drive means my 4r has looked pretty neglected since installing the Gobi and giving up on tunnel washes. Hard water here means my usual method (foam cannon, 2 bucket wash, leaf blower, hand dry) takes forever.

Tried a rinseless wash today (P&S Absolute) with a sponge, and after a brief learning curve it's a nice compromise between speed and results. Had to wash and dry by sections, and I need an easier solution to drying under the rack, but got it looking presentable in record time.

 

Took the short-cut home with the 4Runner

 

Installed all the black trim no overlays getting rid of all the silver

 

As always, this guy is interesting and informative.

Was, just bought out in Riverside.

 

Guy I wheel with is a printer. I get to grace January this year.

 

@Stoney Ranger Mr. January over here ! If you look close you're driving shirtless right

 

My shirtless days are way in the past.

 

Heard that.
I told myself Jan. 1/2024 that Jan. 1/2025 my body will have forgone a muscular transformation. Jan. 1/2025 will likely just result in me deleting the comparison photo I took yesterday

 

Used it to take Xmas to local Fire Co. for re-cycle. I may have rolled over 1k since took delivery W/3 mi on it.

 

4LOW-BC group collapsed. Cofounder renamed it now. So why not delete some decals w/ a heat gun in a few places. Just need that 2024-2025 Four Wheel Drive Association of BC sticker.

Zero decals is a slick look actually, I respect it. I'll get a second 4R one day for that, and keep er on 265’s

 

Doublewide, I lived in Norco for over 29 years. Retired to NM

 

Bought a vehicle mount for the Garrison fire extinguisher. Arrival / install Friday
KC Windshield Wire Hider for scene lighting arrived today.

Where should I locate 4R fire extinguisher?

 

Good video!

It was interesting that a twin turbo and a single turbo both made it into his Hall of Fame motors.

 

The all white decals looks great too. I do that look on my Tacoma. On my 85 runner I used turtle wax decal remover to clean up the old decal residue and it works amazing!

 

Brute Force Fab rear dual swing out bumper installed. Now need to do the suspension and install the BAMF hybrid front that has been sitting in the garage for nearly 2 years.

 

Only things done so far, are a few pinstripes from the Ozarks, and a 2” lift. Got a mile long wishlist Ill eventually do to it though.

 

Thanks for choosing us, we appreciate it!

 

Yesterday I checked the lug nut torque and went to a nearby big gravel parking lot to exercise 4wd, including 4lo and rear locker. Today I'm loading in the winter stuff (second wool blanket, snow and ice clearing tools, shovel).

 

200w panel, just a tad too wide to sit between the top bars. The cable I used takes up the whole KC wire hider too, so I'll probably splice in something thinner.

Might have been overkill but I'm shooting to leave the fridge on indefinitely.

 

Oil changed, new tires installed, and traction boards mounted.

 

Some really simple shit. Cleaned the MAF and throttle body. Stuff that gets overlooked a lot.

 

Found a little dirt and even a bit of mud to have fun with on our vacation to Tennessee. Pretty sure the first owner never took her on any unpaved roads so this was her inaugural run. Wasn't much since some of the trails we wanted to try were closed for winter. But it was a good time even if not a long time.

 

Like those wheels.

 

Thanks, they were actually gifted to us from my brother in law. He lifted his GX and put bigger wheels on, so he didn't need these and wouldn't take any payment for them!

 

started that Pelican case emergency kit I've yapped about

 

Re-covered my worn center console lid.
