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

how is the ride did you replace the back ones too thanks

 

It's an everyday battle at the mall bro! I feel ya

If I find a door ding their mirror gets kicked off.

 

Preach on!
I actually park next to the corral when at the grocery store. I hug my passengers side again it. That way no one can bring a cart next to me & the corral doesn't have doors. This leaves ample space for my 6'4 body to exit & not worry about who parks next to me.
I also have an odd assumption that if people are bringing the carts back; they are actually helping & that may be the safest place. Just my logic but has worked on 3 vehicles over 20 yrs (since I had a vehicle I cared about).

 

I park the same way, safe as one can possibly imagine. I stopped doing the cart corral though. Guy at work did that & found a scratch front to back of his truck. Store video saw a fat lady tried to turn sideways and squashed her way through.

 

Took my ride out to play in the snow. I must say it handles awesome.

 

I dont mind walking so i park away from people as much as possible, i also try and park right next to a curb and back into my parking, i try and make as few "chances" of getting dinged as possible, and i have a beaver tail in my hitch point to prevent dings from people pulling into a parking spot and tapping the rear of my vehicle. Not full proof still, you could always still get dinged, but i figure the extra 60 seconds of walking is better than unnecessary damage.

Sliders wont help the front or rear fender, or front or rear bumpers from damage, but they will help the sides from shopping carts and SOME doors. I keep "steps" on my vehicle for the same reason. I want sliders... But just dont want to pay for them LOL

I call them steps, but they are more like mud catchers that i must avoid touching at all costs when wearing clean clothes LOL

Whose to say someone didnt park beside you, ding your door, then drive away so they didnt get caught, then an innocent person pulls in afterwards and you kick their mirror off?

I guess that's one way to go to jail or get the snot beat out of you LOL

 

Not sure what steps you have but I got the one from Tyger and they help A LOT Not loving how far they stick out but it's worth it for the protection. I'm with you on wanting real sliders but not wanting to pay for them lol.

 

I got those exact same ones LOL Those are my dirt and mud catchers, they love to get your paint legs dirty

Sliders too

 

Yes they do! I hear rocks hitting them al the time which is better than the paint. I have a few chips on the sides from rocks even with them there.

 

Want to keep your pants clean?

Just do what I do and stop wearing pants

 

Stuff looks nice.... BUT... Just Adding powder coating to those sliders, just the powder coating itself, cost more than my powder coated steps LOL

So while i like rock sliders, and know they are more beneficial offroading, the prices are more than i can swallow.

 

So got the samples in today and this looks to be very very close to MGM......

 

Now, aren't you glad you got the center console & glove compartment organizer installed to separate the goods. Plus, with the dope light it is completely incognito.
It allows you to conduct your nefarious activities without pants!
You must be a happy man. LMAO

Next batch is: ...

 

I can respect that.

 

Those look and work good!

More details?

 

If you installed a roof rack. You got this! Watch a few videos, give some friends a few beers. You will be fine. That just looks intimidating.
There is a power that should go to a key on source so it can only run while the vehicle is on. There is a relay (ment to keep power draw to the lights correct ( just hang or zip tie it to something. Then the switch that is routed to the cab.
I maybe missing something as I don't have raptor light but I do have a light bar on my Ford & it looked intimidating also.
Take your time & research! You got this.

 

Jennifer need info on the source for these please

 

Wow, looks sharp!

Raptor lights from a pre-fab kit or homemade?

 

What details would you like?

 

The Ride is smooth and Solid. Awhile back I replaced The rears with Fox2.0 Smooth Body Shocks.

 

Do you have before and after pics and measurements? thanks

 

Wow, that's a great looking 4Runner!!

Job well done with this build!

 

Everything is coming together quite nicely, I must admit.

 

Probably been seen and done before but my first "mod" to my 2020 SR5-P was installing the black TRD shift knob. Too cold and rainy here in MD to do much else. Probably going to start a build thread for the fun of it. Plenty of plans once the weather changes.

 

@ForRun

I’ve gained one inch in the Front.
Went from 20” to 21” Both left and right side. The rear is 21 3/4” on both sides.
Measurements are from center of wheel hub to bottom of fender.



Changed the oil today with Toyota oil and filter. Added the Aluminum housing and a EZ-Valve.







Also added a upgraded Owner's Manual Case I found new on eBay. Just remembered I had this from my last Toyota.

 

Took off my 17 Pro and now have them on my 2020 Pro. Awesome door protectors.

 

52k vehicle cheapo $250 fake rock sliders lol
