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

No wait, RCI is the best!

 

Installed this netting to keep things from falling off the top, middle, and bottom shelves when the door is opened. In memory of Mom and Pop, both green thumbs, going to bring this live plant when Overlanding and put it on the hood at camp. Not sure it will survive but worth the try.

 

Outside mount, low pro smoke. Here is my AVS. Last picture is looking from the inside out with the sun shining through them to see the smoke color. Otherwise they mostly look black.

 

Does the lo pro help with wind deflection? That noise when you’re driving 50, and have 1 window down?

 

I don’t get that horrible sound when I have 1 window down and all others rolled up. However, to note I believe that problem mainly happens when the windows are rolled down a lot. Not just a little crack.

 

Thanks man, got em ordered

 

You bought the low profile, right? The low profile is an outside mount (double sided tape). The outside mount you saw is not the low profile. Just want to make sure you ordered low profile.

 

Mine are outside mount. Smoke finish, AVS #94242. Only $39.51 as well. Grand total $ 42.18 with tax.
Nice close fit too. I can't imagine any lower profile. Go for that number and you'll be good to go.
Oh, don't be fooled. There is another brand that uses that same number but theirs has two letters before the 94242.

 

Nice built in Ya got there!

 

@T4R13 where are you going to mount the midland radio?

 

Yea I got the low profile smoked

 

I’m going to put it behind dash. Picked up a 3’ ethernet extension that I’m gonna flush mount in one of the knock outs in the dash. That’s the main reason I went with the 275, for a low profile setup where I don’t need to access the box

 

Mine did not say low profile, just outside mount. I cannot imagine them being significantly less convex, or they would not have any function.

 

planing to get this done..

does it ride better now?

 

Got my Canvasback put in

 

Gmrs in. All but the extension cable to flush mount in factory knock out. Tied power into the cb power that I had ran to glove box. Running through my direct wired switch panel so I can run vehicle on or off. Mounted to an existing bracket next to steering column. Antenna on gobi rack, may upgrade it down the road. And sadly this is the only use I’ve had out of my jackery in to long

 

I haven't had it off road yet so can't speak to that, just installed over the weekend. I intentionally hit some dips and speed bumps in the neighborhood and I can't really tell if there is a big difference but did feel like it was a bit less harsh. This could have been totally in my mind. The OMEs really do a good job of absorbing quick impacts.

I will say where they did make a difference was getting on the freeway on a circular on ramp. The OMEs were a significant upgrade over stock but with the Sumos I felt like there was hardly any lean. I also did a hard brake test or two and can say the nose dive is minimal at most.

Are they worth the $450? Will have to see when I get them off road in the rutty stuff.

 

If I go into Bend, I have 40+ miles of gravel road to go the back way that saves about an hour. I can very comfortably drive 40-50mph and cross cattle guards with no problem so I think the front made a huge difference.

 

Filled a gap on the stove pull-out with stucco cornering wire to hold small items. Placing each of the four sides toward the center and zip-tying them. And hardwired a 4 USB outlet to the house battery to connect/charge electronics in front despite the vehicle being off.

 

Are they low profile on your window deflectors? I'm trying to decide which ones to go with. Definitely stick on but not sure if I should go with the 50$ low profile or 35 regular smoke.

 

Last night I replaced my back-up lights with LASFI 92 1 912 LED bulbs from Amazon. The pictures are before and after on the back-up camera. Great improvement. I also replaced the interior lights with LEDs from Jumper's LEDs. So much more light.

 

300k to go

 

No hyper flash with these LEDs?

 

No hyper flash. I set the parking brake and put it reverse so I could see how they looked from behind. No flash.

 

Just read that again, thought it was turn signals leds, reverse shouldn't hyper flash. Looking for turn signal leds with no hyper flash. Thanks

 

I went with low profile ones..from that pic his look like the ragular ones..the low profile ones are really flesh to the window..

 

A comparison for those who might be considering.
These are the regular "smoke" stick on.

 

Installed the same bulbs in mine. Really helps with brightness but definitely exposes how bad resolution is on these cameras. Definitely prefer the brightness improvement though. No issues with these bulbs 1500 lumen btw

 

Finished up install
