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

Only the gray dust cover caps, then you'll see the bulb. Do the passenger side first to familiarize yourself since there's more working room.
Remember to not touch the glass on the bulb, heard that the oil from your hands will shorten its life.

 

that’s a big part of why I got white. I plan on keeping it a long time.

 

Full ceramic coat !!

 

Look good!! Now your good to go. I plan on having my AG Pro done in a couple of weeks. I had my 19 Z06 paint correction with fully wrapped with Suntex and ceramic coated. I was going to wrap my Pro also but just going to do the paint correction and ceramic coat.

 

Just got it in yesterday and plan to install this weekend. If that little bottle they send glue? Did you use it or did you just use the adhesive strips that came on it already? Didn't get an install manual with it.

 

Yeah, the 18 pro sticker was $44,545 back in sept 2017. Dealership gave me $39,432 on trade, so that helped with the new one. Even a buddy who sells cars told me he never sees anything hold value like a pro 4r.

 

Yeah that was good!! There are guys that knock the Pro but the value is crazy over the normal 4runner. I’m all about numbers when it comes to vehicles. There the worst thing you can spend money on because of the depreciation.

 

I was offered $48.5K for my Pro as a trade in. I paid $51.5K. Just not sure if I want to get rid of the 4R.

 

Washed and Detailed.

 

I've upgraded the stock headlight bulbs to H9. It's a low cost yet huge improvement.

I have the Morimoto Amber fogs. I like them a lot. They aren't the brightest option out there, but I don't need them competing with the headlights. They're wide angle, and do a good job illuminating things off to the side without being blinding.

 

The 2015 Tacoma was the last of the 2nd gen with the large, efficient halogen reflector headlights. For some reason all of the manufacturers are moving towards little squinty headlights in their designs. The only way to fit is with projectors, which by nature of their glare shields, are just not as efficient. The 3rd gen Tacoma has the same affliction.

 

I dont drive at night anymore so none of it matters. Covid...

 

I also had the morimoto led fog lights in white. Helps illuminate the road a little bit more without blinding anyone

 

Any pics to see how the backlighting looks?

 

This is why I'm holding off on upgrading my headlights.

 

going on almost a month of not driving mine...frickin herniated disk! sometimes i just stare at it out the window haha

 

That’s real interesting that NHTSA finally got involved and ordered the stop-sale of those LED bulbs. Do you have any more info on that? All I could find was this on the DD website:

Not today but a couple days ago, on my days off...

People still put carpet on their dash?? What year is this

 

Suit yourself bro. This is what the inside of my Runner looks like:

 

I knew the Lorax drove a 4runner!!!

 

What thread you referencing?

 

Mounted my ARB 2000 awning today, just in time for tomorrow day trip. Ordered from Amazon and sold by Addiction 4WD.
The outer box was OK but the actual cardboard tube inside was pretty beaten up, looks like someone jumped on it. Both end caps were busted opened and it turned out that some tent stakes and T bolts were missing, only had one stake and 2 bolts left inside! I was pissed! Also mad at myself for not doing my homework, turned out the brackets are sold separately...
Went to Mclendon hardware and found some T shape bracket plates, I would have doubled up each sides but they only had 2 left
Also got some 6mm bolts and cut off the top with my dremel to make them into "T-bolts" so that they can fit inside the ARB grooves.
Utilized the all 4 OEM knobs and threaded backing plates from the cross bars. Got bushings to space them out.
I was pretty lucky to have found those bracket plates for they were just the right size too, only had to drill some holes and voila... Pretty clean set up!


Upon closer inspection there are some damages to the awning. There's a worn spot on top, and the rails are dented slightly. Beware of buying stuff from Addiction4WD!

 

It's not so bad on the 4Runner though. The glare from the skewp on my Tacoma was horrible. I ended up trading it for a non-skewp hood.

 

I don't. It was only referred to at the Tacomaworld forum, not sure about the details.

 

What brand and color is the shift knobs?

A&P,
I thought of trying to wrap the silver pieces on the front and rear bumper, after reading your post, I am positively going to take it to a friend of mine who does it all the time. The patience thing is probably going to come into play for me also!
