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

Aroma of petroleum is heavenly. I feel sad for future generations

Get these even if you think you're gonna get a high clearance rear bumper, you can always trim down. I did same for my nguyenworks bumper, it looks super clean and covers the small gap that is exposed when take that mudflaps off.

 

How does it work? Any pics on the 4Runner?

 

It makes it sit flush with the current body line, I'll go take pics in a little bit its currently pouring rain but this video outlines how it looks really well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPKendRJcks

 

Set an appointment for Locked and Loaded 4x4 in PA to do the BMC. 650$ was the quote I got from all three shops in the area. Not great but I need it done.

 

Oil change done, Sliders done. Both more difficult then they should have been hahaha

Marmalade did not approve of the stock running boards. Box was so close to being helpful. They look great, are solid as fuck, proved again how amazing both Westcott and their products are, and brought a smile to my face. Now I need to get out and use them so my wife will stop calling me a poser hahaha

 

Sliders look fantastic!!! Aren't they the most well-constructed item you've ever received in the mail? Great job! Enjoying mine here in frosty PA. Not easy to install by yourself. Nice use of the HD box to hold them up. I used an old plastic gas can.

How was the install of the roof rack? Any drilling or sealing need to be done?

 

Hahaha making due with what we had at hand! Amazing.

My rack story is here https://www.4runners.com/threads/ro...-sherpa-rubber-mounts-on-westcott-rack.32622/ I thought it was easier than the sliders but I thought about it way more than I had to with the sliders. There is no drilling with any of the Westcott Rack options. You need to use sealant if you use their mounting sleeves. I used Sherpa ones, so that didn't apply to my set up.

 

To mine?

 

To that product

 

Just wanted to make sure it was me and not the other

Thanks

 

My pleasure!!!

 

Part of me says keep driving it like that, and part of me says fix the beautiful truck.

 

All my interior lights are DD LEDs. A single festoon bulb just isn't enough for a dome light. I decided to not half-ass it anymore and ordered a Meso dual-brightness unit: https://www.4runnerlifestyle.com/co...ms-ultimate-dome-light?variant=36802591162535 (I have good experience with the Tacoma version.)

 

Are those DD festoons much brighter than OEM?

 

Repair the bumper cover attachment point at the rear quarter panel, since that portion of the bumper cover is kept for most off-road bumper installations.

 

I had to take my truck back to BestBuy to re-adjust the settings on my amp. I had a Kicker amp installed a few weeks ago, to pair it up with the Kicker speakers that were installed from Trail Grid Pro.

The pro of having it done: Super loud stereo that sounds bad ass with lots of bass and crisp highs.
The con of having it done: There was feedback in the speakers and when I called someone (or if they called me) via Bluetooth, there was an echo on their end.

I had the installer turn down the gain on the amp and that fixed the problem. No more echo or hissing when the volume is turned down low. The speakers still sound the same, but instead of turning it up to 25 or 30 to really blast the music, I turn it up to 45 or 50.

 

Finally wired up the roof lights; KC hider wasn't even close to big enough but that's likely due to my choice of cables.



I may revisit this once I get around to having the windshield fixed, but it's not too bad.



Also need to figure out a secondary wind fairing; the rack and lights are fine but the solar panel is a little noisy.

 

Are the Meso ones gray or tan plastic? The pic looks gray but their site says tan. So I’m confused but want to order. My headliner is gray.

anyone with this please chime in.

 

I thank you for sharing this. Beneficially, before I install my KC wire hiders facing the same issue.

I bought 1 KC, and then 3 additional 3.3ft lengths. My idea is to butt two up inline with each other hiding wire all the way to roof rack transition. On both sides. Too many wires too many roof loads, fk it I'm installing DUELING KC HIDERS BABY.
I happened to just receive mail; black outdoor silicone, 12ft mock weather stripping wire channel to try out from windshield to roof rack. Larger inner diameter than KC, but lower height. Comes with nice 3m attached, not what the sealants for. So that's plan b, cuz product is pitched for high traffic mall floors and venues.. might actually hold up.

 

Just curious, Is the funnel for your gas can? If so, doesn't the gas can have a pour spout? And aren't you worried about debris getting down into said funnel?

 

We would love to see pics of how it looks, thanks for choosing us!

 

Bueler, bueler, anyone…

 

Wow. Id say thats expensive. I hope they do a good atleast.

 

Replaced a broken air vent slider tab with Vent Tabs P/N Toy4R-10-13: https://www.venttabs.com/venttabs-toyota-4-runner-2010-2013-to-repair-broken-a-c-air-vents/

$19 Vent Tabs Compatible/Replacement for Toyota 4Runner 2010-2013 Front AC Vents (Passenger Side)

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B099MMX1VT



Looks like it's 3D-printed. Material has a rougher surface texture, and the vent movement isn't as smooth as OEM, but better than not having a tab. Note there's no OEM equivalent - you would otherwise need to open up the radio dash panel and replace the whole vent assembly.

 

I wonder if these will work with 14 on. Be a good way to get rid of that last bit of chrome.

 

^The mfr actually has a version for 2014+ models. The attachment claws and forks look the same.

2010-2013 vs. 2014+:

 

No one has the Meso dome light that can answer?????
