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

Finally got off my arse and installed my RCI skid plate

 

How did you get the grill to fit?

 

Finished the underfloor wall on the passenger side, where the 120v AC distribution box, water fill, and water tank level monitor are located.

 

Installed the LFD Offroad crossbars and windfairing crossbar. Pretty simple install, I did install a strip of Clear Bra PPF under the fairing in case it ends up rubbing when I load stuff on it but it’s pretty sturdy so unless something really heavy is placed on it I doubt it’ll sag and rub. Anyways here’s some pics.

 

Watching your stuff makes me feel like I’m playing checkers and you are playing chess.

 

Looks great! Considered the same product, except wanted a lower silhouette.

Doesn't take much. For me the solar panel cable left a rubbing mark that would NOT come out. At a stop the cables are NOT touching but must have enough slack to rub while driving. Thus, covered the entire roof rack area with vinyl too. Thinking, if the cable rubs while driving any other strap, etc. will rub too.

 

Thanks. Few are original thoughts. Most are from watching others (100s of SUV, Van, RV, Tiny Homes, Overland builds, etc. from USA and abroad--even if I can't understand their languages) and then replicating/tweaking to fit the 4Runner.

 

Yup that’s why I went ahead and put a strip of PPF just in case. I’m not loading it up using it to carry a Hi Lift and a Box with recovery gear.

 

Lol don’t know why it posted like that.

what was the charge for the hood scoop? Or was that just built into the price? Thanks!

 

When did you order yours? They're on backorder right now, but I can't wait to get a set. Love how they keep the OEM+ look but provide a lot more function.

 

A little chrome delete and nice pair of used running boards added.

 

Been working on a swing out spare tire rack for a couple days. I finished up the main welds today, just gotta do some clean up with the grinder and figure where/how to add a fuel can then paint. So far I am in it for about $1590 less than a Rigd.

 

Adjusted the seating position of the front wiper arms. After having had my windshield replaced last fall they were resting slightly above the wiper deicer elements. Took about 5 minutes to get them right.

Works great!

 

When I ordered them they were also on backorder, took 4 weeks to get’em.

 

Got my Rago stuff installed today, wish I would of bought this years ago

 

While not a 4Runner, watch this guy's build. He mills his own wood. Most definitely playing 3D chess.

 

Good gracious the time and planning on that rig. What an amazing video. Thank you for sharing

 

Jesus dude. Clean work. Come build my stuff

 

I fed it $70 in gas. And that was less than 15 gallons.

 

Anyone interested in meeting up at windrock off-road park Memorial Day weekend?

 

I would be down. Gotta talk it over with the Mrs. though. It would have to be a there and back kinda trip for me with 4 kiddos I ain’t camping yet (since I don’t have a trailer). What days are you planning on being there?

 

Plan on going Friday depending on how early I get off work, if not leaving real early Saturday, we will be camping till Monday wife and the 3 kids. Ditch everything but tent and sleeping bags and cooler. I have every light, grill recovery gear, tools all that. Make the room for sleeping gear I’ve got the rest covered

 

NOT an endorsement. Simply sharing. Found this solar-charged motion-activated LED light at Home Depot. Different from others is the open triangular shape. Thought to try it out to startle anyone or thing that comes up to the vehicle at night time. Its open triangular shape allows it to be placed (over the roof bars, sliders, on the hood, floor, etc.) when needed without having to really secure it. In the morning, store it on the dashboard for the battery to recharge until the next need. In the dark garage, the light is sufficiently bright. However, the sensor is not the best as needed to get pretty close before it triggers. That said, the second car in the garage limits the space to walk in front of the sensor.

 

Looks good. Did you order the bundle? I ordered the bundle on 5/3 on back order. It’s scheduled to arrive 5/17. Much sooner than hoped. Looking forward to having them. Didn’t need a rack, just something in case I need to pick up some small amounts of lumber or PVC etc.

 

I ordered their bundle on 5/3. They were on back order. They shipped middle of last week and are due on 5/17.
