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

I put a huge gouge in my rear bumper when I hit a classic Michigan pothole and the empty trailer I was towing jumped the ball and slammed into me. Does that count?

 

Ironman4x4 awning on. Shit customer service but the awning seems nice

 

Love the honest review lol I ordered my lift kit a week ago now (different vendor) there is ~$1300 hold on my cc (they seem to not be charging until shipped) ... seemed annoyed with me when I called to ask to find out what was going on. ‍♂️

 

Going to look good dude when you get the new lifted springs on!!

 

I cancelled my order with them back at the beginning of the month since their response to when it would be back in stock was “thanks for reaching out.” Lol

asked them today the size of the hex nuts for the awning and “bubba” said he didn’t know and that was his extent of service.

oh well. Only awning that was in stock, plus I’m pretty sure all the brands are manufactured in the same Chinese warehouse (hence them all being out of stock)

thanks man! Will keep you updated. C4 bumper should be here in a couple of weeks too

 

Wow, great project vehicle, good job. I wish I could that stuff.

 

Built a sleeping platform for my upcoming camping trip. Excited to try it out!

 

Nice!! Details? I slept in that space with a sleeping bag and was decently comfortable. Would love a setup like that

 

It's kind of a Frankenstein idea from another forum but it's basically two pieces of 38x24" 1/2" plywood put together with 3 - 2x2" supports underneath and covered with indoor/outdoor carpet to semi-match the inside.

I removed the hump over the gap between the cargo area and the back of the seats which comes away easily as it's held together with 2 - 10mm bolts and one plastic clip. This allows the platform to come up flush with the seatback. I then removed the bottom passenger-side seat cushion which is held on by 2 - 14mm bolts. This gives you extra length if you're on the taller side.

Finally, I have a small Rubbermaid storage container on the passenger-side floorboard to cover the gap which gives you a whopping 6'5" of length. Add bedding of your choice (I bought this memory foam sleeping pad on Amazon and not pictured is my sleeping bag, extra blanket, pillows, etc.) and you have a pretty cheap car camping solution. I also have WeatherTech sunshades for all my windows to completely blackout the interior as well as mesh window covers and battery-powered fans for warm nights when I need air but don't want the bugs.

 

Thank you. Yeah, it has been a pretty good and interesting project.

 

Thanks for the inspiration. Great simple upgrade.

 

Nice!

 

Added these five brite white led’s.

 

They look better than the raptor lights if you ask me. They look bright. I hope that isn't a problem for you.
What kit is that? TIA

 

No problems yet. I got them at ijdmtoy.
As for the raptor lights, everyone has them here and oddly there are a ton of my color 4R in my area.

 

Which model did you get again?

 

Well this was done for me. Trucks not even 4 months Old.

 

You can get the fixed with paint-less dent repair.

 

oh I know. The guys coming Monday morning lol

 

What are we looking at here?

 

That beautiful dent someone decided to put in the door ... sucks hopefully he will be able to work it out and not have any issues .

 

his new air compressor stored in the side compartment

 

Added window deflectors and extension to the rack. Issue is that the hatch wont open all the way and the rack cant be moved forward since the clamps are not supposed to go on the extension piece. Its not too bad and I like the added room but I'm not sure if I will keep it.

 

That is pretty inconvenient to not be able to open the rear hatch...

 

You can still open it 8/10 or 9/10 of the way

 

Yeah it sucks. SUPER frustraiting but the dent guy says it shouldnt be a problem to knock out, its pretty amazing what work ive seen on the guys IG. I have no idea where it happened since im not usually on that side of my truck. within the last 3 days best I can tell.

 

@rlporter507 hey man, just fyi, if you click on the word "Quote" which is on the very bottom right corner of every post, that'll put the post which you are referring to within your response (like I did here)

By doing so, you accomplish a few things. First, it lets the person that you are answering know that you answered or made a post via a notification. Second it gives people who are not part of the conversation context into what you're discussing, especially since so many people post on the thread, your conversation may be spread out over multiple pages.
You can also use the @ symbol and then type someone's name and that'll also give them a notification that you referenced them. (That's what I did at the top of this post to "tag" you in it)

Not trying to be arrogant or anything, just makes it easier for everyone to follow along

Well, I guess not EVERYONE

 

Installed the KDSS skid and Derale tranny oil cooler

 

I just spent $350 for about 12 dings on my 6 month old vehicle. Still have a dent on my roof that will need the headliner to be dropped some.

 

You're already pro!
