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

Rig is looking badass!!!

 

Looking good. Did you buy those 3D printed caps?

 

Shop supplied Minwin end caps

 

Picked up a set 17” take-offs for my Limited to be installed at a later date. Still need a cheap wheel for the spare.

 

If you're in AZ and plan on going with Toyo's ...

Really looking good with the suspension and tires!

 

Picked up the 4Runner from the body shop today.

 

Did you paint the existing one or order one in black?

 

Long travel Dobinsons kit and Apache rear links are installed.

Mine next to a buddies 4R with a 2.5” Elka lift and 275’s.

I have some skid plate clearancing to do and she’s ready to go. There is some contact between the driveshaft and the gas tank skid plate when flexed.
Should be an easy fix. Glad I was able to test it out and check for any issues before Toyota Jamboree next Saturday!

 

Installed my Greenlane rock sliders yesterday. I really appreciated the lightweight choice mounting them by myself. LOL

 

where did you get the custom badges?

 

Ordered this. Looks like the best obd port lock I've seen so far. The seller is a fellow 4R owner who created this for his own vehicle but continues to make a few as a passion project.

Dude, I had no idea we were neighbors. That shop is very close to my house.

Nice mod's by the way.

 

That looks great! Fucking beast. Please get some pictures of the travel! And try to get some measurements of how much travel you have now.

So your install the diff drop because of your cv angles?

 

Very cool. Be sure to get pics at the Jamboree.....and enjoy!

 

From a Tacoma World Member @CBoy808
I’m pretty sure he is no longer active.
These were purchased back in 2019.

 

I ordered it in black from 4Runner Lifestyle.

 

Drove the Mrs to church for cleaning!

 

1. Stance, awesome
2. White letters out, very cool
3. Color matched side steps, bitchin
4. Overall look, priceless

 

Switched out the stock wheels, installed Lasfit led's in the front and rear turn signals and the reverse lights, and Lasfit's interior led's everywhere.

 

I ordered the Cali Raised Led inside molle panels last Monday from 4Runner Lifestyle. They were delivered today and I just finished installing them. It took about 45 minutes total including watching the install video. Being an old Harley guy, I used loctite on the screws.

(Yeah, I know...I didn't tighten up the bolt on the right side.)

 

Yeah. CV angles were pretty wild, the boots wouldn’t have lasted long. The diff drop helped and luckily RCI skids and the Dobinsons diff drop play nicely together.

Theoretically this kit should provide an extra 5” of down travel compared to my old OME kit. I haven’t been able to lift a wheel yet. Should be able to at Jambo.

 

Thought this was appropriate so I added it...

 

Recent mods include , .25" top hat spacers(to level our the TRD fox suspension, 1.25" front Spider Trax wheel spacers, oem rock rails.

Im very happy with how my 4r looks, rides, and drives.

 

Now I’m curious… why would you need to lock your obd2 port?

 

I like the two tone!

 

If vehicle thieves can access it, it's like they have a key.

 

Do you have the white one? I'm interested

 

I've been hammering out some (admittedly low level) mods in preparation for a 2 week camping trip to Maine, leaving Saturday...

I put separately wired Diode Dynamics SL2 LEDs in the old DRL spot:

https://www.4runners.com/threads/di...cing-drls-in-2022-5th-gens.38127/#post-582126


I'd previously installed, and previously posted in this thread, my sleeping pallet with table, Rubitrek ATs, and Diode Dynamics interior LEDs. I should have got more LEDs for the rear hatch lights too but it's too late now for our trip I think. I also have been waiting on my RCI skid to arrive but it's not going to be here in time for our trip either. Boo!!!!!

20% tint to the front windows:





Old bedmat cut into two pieces; one lives permanently on the hatch floor, the other is temporarily on the back of the passenger seats when folded forward:



Installed a couple of power outlets wired to battery:





FJ Cruiser shift knob:





Braided a carabiner to the fob because I'm a paracord nerd:





Braided a reflective pull handle for the hatch:







Interior hatch release button:





Tool box drawer liner to cubbies, and Motorola MA-1 for wireless Android Auto:





Static climber's chalk bag to back of seat for large water bottle storage:





Scored me some used Weathertechs (they are nicer than they look LOL):





Big Sky SBR-1 shotty rack. Made a short swaged cable to lock the gun to the rack to be in compliance with NY / NJ laws as we pass through (not shown).





Also dusted off my basket and awning and installed them in preparation for the trip. I feel like a dork driving around for a week with nothing in it and clearly going nowhere but what the hell...







And capped it off with my wife's and my custom decal that we like to leave at sticker-appropriate venues. So far they are Key West to California, coming soon to New England...
