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

That's a lot of money for tail lights...for the same amount of money, one could get an Airaid intake and an MBRP cat-back...

 

I agree. It is a lot of money for tail lights, but I recouped back some of the cost (about $200) by selling my OEM's on this site. That took the sting out of it, a little bit. I wouldn't want an aftermarket intake because I think they're pointless.

I have different needs & wants than you do. No biggie.

 

It has just arrived....

Auxiliary fuel tank. More updates sooner or later.

 

Some new wheels. Tires will wait a year, but are on the list

 

Thanks again for your write-up. Ended up not needing to drop the fan assembly since I discovered that I was overdue to change out the cabin air filter. The tic-tic sound was definitely caused by debris, especially that acorn which rattled around like a roulette wheel ball in the fan unit!

Note to self: Check the cabin filter more often!

​

 

Ordered some wheels a couple days ago. Installed Weathertech floormats and a Scan Gauge II to monitor trans temp, water temp, and voltage last week.

 

Ordered online $300 worth of roof rack wiring, KC wire concealment, 6 bar clamp mounts, battery terminal connector splitter w/ LED display voltmeter, more.

 

Picked it up today

 

Sweet rig. Now...tomorrow drive it over to Discount Tire and pick up some better looking tires. Those street tires gotta' go.

 

2024 ORP! Time to celebrate

 

Thank you. Going to turn the stock rims into my winter set. Getting some Bridgestone Blizzak mounted tomorrow

 

I'm thinking of installing a CO2 fire extinguisher in my 4Runner. Mounted in front of the passenger seat looks like a good location. But CO2 extinguishers are 5 lbs. (and larger). Apparently, no one makes 2 1/2 lb. CO2 extinguishers.

Is a 5 lb. extinguisher too big to be mounted in front of the drivers seat?

Thanks,
Mike

 

I have two of these Kidde Pro 110 (Class 1A:10B:C) in my rig and just checked, fits width-wise (with about 4" to spare width-wise). I currently have one mounted under the drivers seat and the other on one of the rear Molle Panels.

They do have a CO2 version (Pro 5) that's 2" taller (longer) but also 5.25" dia. vs 3.25" dia., I don't think it'll impinge upon leg space but you may want to check the vertical clearance in your rig just to be sure (taking into account what mounting bracketry you choose.)

 

I just did a 2-1/2lb on the side of driver seat.
5lb in front of passenger seat imo is better than in front of driver.
5lb CO2 fire extinguisher becoming airborne in a wreck would suck, prolly is a risk.

 

Awesome, I have a LRA 24 aux. tank, I love having the extra miles on board.
No Jerries needed!

 

Ordered and received some Caltrend seat covers. Got the Duraplus version- I wanted something waterproof and durable. I read the DuraPlus were recommended for people with dogs/ dog hair. Seems like they'll be easy to wipe down or vacuum. Not fancy looking. It's Cordura. The "upholstery" type we got in our Crosstrek is pretty hot in the summer so we'll see if these are any cooler.

Got the driver's side mostly done. Can't figure out how to get the side strap fed through the outer panel of the driver's seat. May just leave it off. Only cut my hand once fishing the bottom straps through so I got that going for me.... which is nice.

I'll take pics of the finished product after I drive around with them for a bit. It'll give them time to mold to seats. They look a little funky at first.

 

Got my Cali Raised interior Molle panels installed but haven't had a chance to get pics and start figuring out where stuff is going to go yet. Love the quality of the panels and they went in super easy!

 

Installed Cali Raised cat converter shield.

 

Man do I have a story ... but that is for another time. Always a good time when I pull up to this place ...

 

Man I would love to know the specs on this. Lift and tire size. It looks fantastic!

 

I want nothing on the roof, paid a price at the pump, so no more.

 

My guess
1.5-2.5" lift on Wildpeak 285/70's, 8"W, -12 offset

 

Last minute advice n while your at it, might as well’s for installing front bumper???

thanks anyone

 

I'm sure if you contacted the folks at Victory offroad they could tell you.

 

In the same boat, now the real fun begins. I think I'll need a second hider to fit everything though.

 

Nice bud, I hear ya!
I legit just bought 4x 3.25ft KC wire hiders, and a 12ft length of a competitor product that looks like your roof weather strip.
My roof rack 3/4 basket is u-bolted to factory rack including factory crosses. It's quite a distance up the roof until I hit the transition to the basket (halfway across sunroof. I'm adding three new lighting loads up top)

 

I hate snow that is hiding ice under it

 

Preparing the 4Runner for sale - did the A/C Refresher Service. Ran into a little snow picking up the kit from the dealership in Kirkland Wa.
