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

Well the post I was commenting on was saying how they wanted sliders BUT THEIR WIFE SAID NO.... my comment was an argument that could be made to such a wife, to justify the sliders vs nerf bars. So check the attitude - "happy wife happy life" is incharge of the check book even if "you make the payments"- don't go "Karen" on me for pointing out an obvious counter to her argument.
Dam. People take stuff so personally. Mister "I make the payments you dont"... REALLY??? I Had no *#!%*! clue. Check the attitude!
(must be a former Nissan owner)

 

How’s the weather ?

Everything ok here??

 

Really… Golf Foxtrot Yankee

 

agreeed

 

Just wait until the 6th gen comes out next year

 

nice runner

 

For the record, i was a previous dodge ramcharger and suburban owner… never a Nissan owner.

 

Don't make me pull this thread over....

 

I like the Nissan, particularly the old school v8 Armada.

 

Just rode in the Infinity version last night our friends have, actually VERY nice but it cost twice what are 4Runner did???

 

The infinity is indeed very good even though it's just an Armada in fancy drapes.
Infact if I can find a good deal on the V8 Armada platinum 4wd from 21' upward, I would trade it for my 4runner. It's the closest to my old LC200, that I miss dearly and the used prices on the LC200 are insane.

 

I came from a 2004 Pathfinder. It had over 325k miles and I never had any problems with it until one day while we were about 30 miles away from home, the transmission would not go into any gear higher than 2nd. She still got us home. I even drove it for a while back and forth to my local Home Depot for a few months until I sold it for $700. RIP-great car.

 

Spidertrax spacers today.
Specs:
Wheels 17x7.5 wheels wiith +5 offset
Stock Grandtrek 265/70/17

Needed some utility knife trim of forward part of bumper. Might need a fender liner and or/ Mud flap mod/delete on the front but its barely touching after the utility knife trim

But that being said I think it looks pretty damn good and its worth it. Followed directions sans did a 2 step torque 45 then 90lbs. Will pull tomorrow after driving to check it. Pics of before then after

 

Installed a set of grille lights on my '23 Limited, wired to the low beams. Originally bought a set that I thought were going to work, but I must not have read the fine print, they're for a TRD-style grille. Luckily, my daughter has a '23 TRD ORP, so I'm going to teach her how to install them, and let her do the work. I also bought an OEM-style push button switch that's marked with "Grill Lights", but decided against using it. If my daughter wants to use it, she'll learn how to test and wire that up as well...

 

Got fluid film undercoating.

 

pre - what have you done to your 4r;
auto parts store

So when you say wired to low beams, do you mean energized by their power wire?

 

Nicely done
I was pretty stoked the day I installed mine.
I used red loctite too, hah! Seen too many spacers gone wrong videos.
How's your tire scrub, when turning and stuffing you may get pretty close to body mounts?

 

Seems ok for now. Had to trim about 1/4 inch from the lip of front bumper underneath until it was flush with the fender well-after that its ever so slight a touch at hard full turn reverse. Not sure Im gonna worry about for now. But that 1.25 inches is great. (that's what she said-Micheal Gary Scott)

 

Great to hear man! Good to go

 

The grille lights have two wires, one for ground, and the other for power. The power wire came with a fuse tap, and I tapped into one of the low beams in the fuse box in the engine compartment. Had to cut a slot in the fuse box lid (maybe 7mm tall by 4mm wide) to not pinch the power wire and so the lid would close tightly.

 

Was all set to build a drawer system, but after thinking about it some more went a different way with a passenger side 2nd and 3rd row delete.



Simple low platform bolted in place of the seats, with a modular toolbox hard mounted in back. Good visibility and fridge is accessible while driving.




Still seats 4 or 5 in a pinch.




I'll probably delete the driver's side molle panel.

 

Around 18,000 smiles already since October last year. Doing what I bought the truck for, to explore the country.

 

THIS^

I have what I like to call "secondary grille fogs" (lumin-x wrapped led pods) that I wanna run off fog lights

 

finished dualing KC Wire Hiders w/ 3M
Qty: 4, $85 CAD worth
[next : complete scene lights, chase light]

 

hiccups along the way:
-had to snip the end of my passenger wiper blade off
-a crazy man wielding a hockey stick

 

mucho appreciato my man
is there an engine compartment fuse for fogs I wonder, how shall I tag onto fogs
T.Y.

 

fastened another amber pod to roof rack, different orientation than passenger side.
