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

Yes, I am a bit concerned about that. Supposedly, the Yakima basket fits. Worst case, I’ll have to get their crossbars. Luckily, the OEM bars I bought were very reasonable. Thanks!

 

So disconnect link update. I hate them, So does my wife. Nasty loud clanking and banging. Them and the sway bar are coming off. Also ordered a cfx3 45 and the fancy cover after the 85 degree ice melt we suffered out this weekend. Found a 15 percent off discount so I jumped on it and saved $180

 

That sucks. Were they clanking connected or disconncted?

 

Disconnected, sounds like the vehicles falling apart. I was ashamed driving by other people cause I’m sure they assumed my rig was trash. Lol they gotta go, do not waist your money

 

Man I am super bummed to hear that. I was excited and hopeful that it would work out because it seems like it is either fully connected or fully disconnected.

 

The Dometic fridges are nice.

 

Yea I was hopeful too. But there just not gonna work out, road a good bit of highway and city with them disconnect and had no noticeable body roll,so the whole front sway bar is just gonna come off

 

Let me know how that works out for you with all extra weight and such. I am not concerned about daily driving and making turns. I am concerned on making immediate turns to avoid deer or something else requiring immediate movement.

 

Yea that’s what I’m thinking. Like I said I drove around on the road a hood bit unhooked and it had less body roll than a stock 4r. But who’s to say in a hard brake and steer. But mines not a dd so I sappose it’s less if an issue for me

 

If they quiet when connected, maybe they wont be so bad in a primary DD role, just to have the flexibility for off roading….

Plus all that clanking when disconnected might make everybody think Im super serious about 4wheeling


…so…. how much do you want for those pieces of junk ?

 

CBI/RSG/WARN/Extreme LED

 

Pm me what there worth to you and I’ll ship em out next week lol. Plan on getting them off this weekend

 

Skids done today along with Kick@$$ shower awning and Yakima RoadShower 7gal

 

Looks great but that's got to be about the smallest garage I've ever seen.

 

lol it is a 1 car garage. The wall to the right is another garage for our second car (Apartment community) there is plenty of space on the sides considering its a Runner in there.

 

Maybe it’s a town house with a single car garage. I had one similar when I lived in Hawaii.

 

Guarantee my garage is smaller. 4runner really won't even fit, just my wife's Tiguan

 

From years of doing my own oil changes even when I don’t over tighten the filter or filer housing on vehicles, sometimes they just end up insanely tight when you go to remove them a year later or 10000 miles. Even the old school canisters that Id hand tighten. Any time I see someone blaming the dealer for stuck filters, I think of this. Not sure if others had similar experiences. Must be the heat cycles…

 

I found the same.

 

Ever see that "Objects in mirror may be larger than they appear" logo"? lol.

I guess the same applies, the garage is wider than it looks its sufficient.

 

Are you lubing the filter housing gaskets with dino oil before reinstalling? My experience is using synthetic oil to lube the gaskets just does not work. The housing gasket is "wedded", a term I heard years ago, to the engine part (filter intake?) the filter housing screws to. A little conventional oil on the gasket and all is well.

 

yes, on my camaro because I use dino oil in it. No on every other vehicle. I’ll give it a try though.

 

Kickass shower

 

How are you liking the 275? Noticeable diff from 265, assuming that's where you came from. I'm debating that now.. 275 or 285 (w/mods).

 

What is this, TacomaWorld? jk. Nice rig, man!

 

Nice!!! tested mine out yesterday, for $150 its a STEAL

 

My shower for the field.

 

When Lifted Limited with 285s have better mpg on airport run during rush hour than almost stock TRD Pro in 2wd

 

Have you adjusted your MPG display to the size of your tires?

 

No sir, its in stock state. I guess if it can be adjusted it would have given better mpg numbers. Right now it thinks it has traveled less miles but actually it has traveled more than 42 miles. (I guess)
