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

I had to trim all 3 Pax door pieces, the piece under the switch wouldn't allow the windows to be closed.

 

Why di

Why switch skids?

 

There were some fitment issues with the RCI skids and my '22 that I didn't have on my previous '21 4Runner. The T-case skid gave me the most problems and I've never been entirely happy with how it is currently. I like that Cali Raised uses a different mounting point on the frame for their T-case skid crossmember.

Plus, we decided to take the 4Runner for our Arizona trip (hopefully)next year. Since we'll be playing in the rocks and I'm sticking with stock suspension and tire size, we decided to go with steel instead of aluminum.

 

I did the same. Loved my 2015 2500 especially going up the mountain climbs but, the comfort of the 2021 ORP is great. Really liking my choice.

 

I'm just north of the WY/CO border, outside Riverside in Carbon County.

 

Yeah I miss my 500 hp 880 torque but man don't miss the $175 fill ups every week it just got ridiculous.

 

Purchased the ARB Diff breather and added some TRD accessories to my rig.

 

Discovered after work I was a target n have been attacked….

 

Is that a Sherpa rack? Just installed mine yesterday. How are the rubber blocks holding up against water intrusion around the mounting bolts? I followed their instructions and applied no silicone.

 

I had same thing happen to me about a years ago. Ran to up the local Walgreens for something, came back out and was sitting in parking lot texting a friend with sunroof open, and just randomly some bird pooped thru the sunroof. It cleaned up real easily, but I was like, "Damn! Did this REALLY just happen to me??"

 

I'm trying to perform the parasitic draw test. I can't get a screwdriver to hold the latches down, Maybe a 1/4" socket extension will work...

 

I'll lend you mine, from the 23rd...

 

Aside from the 120v indoor outlets, now there is a 120v outlet on the outside. And once again, an appreciation for mechanics and electricians. Because while you make it look easy none of this is simple. At least this time my arm did NOT get stuck trying to secure a wire through a gap between the tire and the vehicle. However, I did get a nice jolt after forgetting to disconnect the 3k-watt inverter.

 

So to all the soothsayers on the World of 4Runners:

Looking for some recommendations to replace my high beams and reverse lights (brands I mean). I have 2021 TRD ORD Premium, so it already had LED lowbeam head and fog lights. I don't wanna spend $100 for a pair of reverse lights that only get used about once a day. High beams are a different story. So send me some recommendations (please and thank you).

 

Did a little decorating for Halloween.

 

Finally got the chance to get some scratches as went with a local FB group for some forest trail offroading. Truck and tires (Toyo Open Country A/T3s) performed awesome, as we hit a steep grade lined with large river rocks and wet tires. Put in 4L and locked rear diff, and was effortless.

I quickly realized any additional money I spend on the truck next has to be for a lift

 

Odd. Mine don't hinder the switch function on any of my windows. They all work as they did when naked.

 

I was targeted while driving...

 

Dobinsons IMS lift installed with UCAs. ECGS bushing as well. 2.5 in front, 1.5 in rear.
Love it.

 

Love it! Thank you for the support.

 

You got it.

 

Reverse: I'm using these

$15 JDM ASTAR Extremely Bright 2000 Lumens 360-Degree Shine 921 912 90-EX Chipsets LED Bulbs For Backup Reverse Lights, Xenon White

JDMASTAR bulbs. Wanted to upgrade the reverse lights in my '21 Runner and just happened to find some of these still new in package from my Ram 1500 when I was cleaning out my garage of all things Ram related. Luckily, they are the same size and fit and work great in the Runner!

High beams: I have the same headlight assemblies (LED lows/halogen highs/drls): I was ecstatic to learn that the 9005-9011 Philips mod that I used in my Ram also works for my Runner! So I just purchased these

$27 Philips Automotive Lighting 9011 HIR Standard Halogen Replacement Headlight Bulb, 1 Pack

9011 HIR Philips bulbs and will be performing this "mod" this weekend! Sounds like the upgrade in output will be just as good as it was in my Ram - if so, I'll be quite pleased!

 

Mustta been a different vendor?? I just took them off & used Dremel cut off wheel. I also have around instr. Cluster, Overhead ring, above the glove box.

 

Got the Windows Tinted: 35% Ceramic on the Front Roll Downs, 50% Ceramic on the Windshield, 15% Classic on all the Rear Privacy Glass. Too late tonight I'll snap a few pictures tomorrow in the sun.

 

Klingons have too much honor for such things.

 

Ditch light install. Diode Dynamics SS3 Pro Combo pods, Trigger Controller wireless controller, CaliRaised brackets.

 

Checked the weight today.
(Almost stock 2021 4runner TRD Pro except for RCI full aluminum skids + RSG HREW sliders.)

 

^good to know

wanted a baseline before I buy the winch

 

Going to be installing 1.25 spidertrax hubcentric wheel spacers all all 4's today. Not a bad pickup for $120

 

Before pic.


After IMS lift. 2.5 front. 1.5 rear.
