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

That's actually a smart idea
Inside my roof rack itself at nighttime is the only thing not illuminated lmao

 

agreed. Never had one stick after applying some.

 

Installed the 4TPAM today. It was the largest mod today. Also installed a bunch of MESO/LED lights on the rig. Ordered a Prinsu Pro Rack and Truck Vault, as well as RCI sliders. Also picked up a bunch of products from Blaze Offroad as he did all my wiring and lights on my Taco. Garmin Powerswitch for my Baja ditch lights, ARB twin, Baja 40" light bar. Coming alone nice.

 

New rear brakes and wheel spacers on the Sienna. She’s our 4Runners sister. Does that count? Fronts tomorrow.

 

Well, technically I didn't "do" anything to my 4Runner, but I did have a near-miss while driving home tonight. Thank God I have a dashcam. No contact was made (laying on the horn helped freak the guy out enough to swerve back into his fucking lane), but if it would have happened, the 4k video helps prove who is at fault.

Fast Forward the video to 1:40 to see the action.

 

Glad its a miss. thats some nice crystal clear footage. What dashcam?

 

Thanks. It's a FitCamX. I have it set to record in 4k, which eats up more space, but you can see EVERYTHING.

This is how it looks installed in my ride (I love the OEM look, most people don't even realize it's there):

 

Awesome, thx!!!

 

That outputs a really nice picture. Hmmmm.....

 

I am considering a Thinkware dashcam, but the quality on this looks pretty good too. Looks like it's only for 2020+ models though

 

Yeah, that is very misleading, because I have a 2023 Runner and it fits/works just fine. It took me longer to get it out of the box than it did to install.

Here are a few 4k videos of daylight driving:

 

Bet that feels pretty good if you're riding around with no pants on.

 

Went out for Vday card & parked in garage @ 1500 miles since 2-Nov-23!!

 

Installed some KC Cyclones for the rear hatch. I can finally see everything at night...sheesh.

 

Sick! Where'd you get the mount/bracket?

Today (and yesterday) neglected the 4Runner so that I could pamper My Life's [sic] Audi S5 for Valentine's Day.



I'm only willing to do it once a year as I find watching paint dry more enjoyable.

 

Tonight I'm completing installation of the second roof rack inset scene light, mounted w/ custom galvanized steel flat bar.
Then installing new amber ditch light pods on new Rago Fabrication extension brackets, to relocate spot beam away from hood reflections.

Updated my Profile Page > Information > Vehicle Modifications, first time since Dec. 2.
Updated my build thread vehicle mods list.

• It's so long I have to use the "scrolling screenshot" feature LOL

 

Taking the SR5 to the dealer today to have a 2nd key cut and 2nd Fob programmed.

 

What did I do to my 4Runner today inquiring minds wanna ask?

Simple. Drove it to work. Save $$$ on this card holiday by making money.

Hope everyone has a great Wednesday!

 

I found another amazing deal on used shit I've been looking for and paid a deposit until I pick them up this weekend! I got the OR Trail wheels with only 1k miles on them for $400 total! I think these are almost $400/wheel on BAM. I don't know if I am more excited about this or the deal I had on the sliders.

 

Transmission drain and fill. ~ 3 qt came out.

 

Which year ORWs?

 

The rumbling noise coming from under the truck, from the transfer case area was indeed because of the RCI skid plate. But not because there is something wrong with the design of that skid plate, but because there were a bunch of rocks there and some wood, that I had to clean. And now the noise is completely gone.
Clean that area after wheeling so that stuff don't mess with the exhaust. Happy wheeling!

 

I think their vehicle was a 22 but I believe they have been available for a long time, they are just not a very common option which is sad as they are the best all around oem 4Runner wheel imo (wider/protect valve stem/easier to clean/color).

 

Some inconsiderate narcissist a-holes let go of a shopping cart about 10 feet up an incline from my parked 7-month old, pristine condition 4R.

I've got video. Wish me luck with their auto and/or renter's insurance.

 

that deserves a Spartan kick to the chest!

 

Did an oil change tonight, lubed all grease fittings, new wiper blades and reapplied antiseize on all skid plate bolts, etcs. So nice not fighting stuck bolts. Keep up on the antiseize boys and girls, you’ll thank yourself down the road!

 

Watching his review.
The amount of excitement and affection that car care nut has for the 5th gen 4Runner is unbelievable. I wonder why he doesn't have one, somebody tell him to buy one before it's gone.
I wish I could go back in time and buy myself a brand spanking new TJ Wrangler. Because my excitement and affection for the TJ is also next level

 

Does anyone ask for a propeller/drive shaft lubrication at their service department? I’m trying to follow Car Care Nut’s recommendation.

 

Finally installed the Greenlane rack and ladder.
All aluminum and stainless. Great product.
I'll take more photos when the weather is finally better.
