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

Good eye! Yes that's them, they are fantastic. Takes about 10 seconds to remove the awning. I have them locked with long pad lock shackle instead of the clips it comes with.

 

Those look beefy! What do the measure under the weight of the 4runner?

With the aggressive and deep tread did you notice a decrease in performance or mpg?

 

Just to update a little bit, this is for Dodge.

Installed these Ark splash guards. Thanks for the post @JakeTheSnak3
Good riddance to the constant rattling noise!

Factory guards vs the Ark ones -



Before -



After -

 

Hit 20,000 in 12 months

*Sorry about the blurriness lol*

 

What do ya mean measure?

No decrease in performance or MPG, but I've had 285's since essentially new so gas milage was already crappy, about 15mpg.

They are very quiet and smooth however as they are an A/T

 

Overall height of the tire when mounted and installed. I heard the mickeys run large compared to most other 285s

 

AWESOME!!!

 

How are these working out for you?
Holes Predrilled to attach the clips?
Chances of these coming loose and getting caught in the drivetrain.
Chances of collecting debris and accelerating rust etc?

Thanks

 

Yep holes come pre-drilled, includes clips.
It's a pretty tight fit.
I just installed them so haven't had a chance to see any long term issues.

 

Those look nice. Thanks for helping me spend money. Lol

 

lol...just passing on what another person did for me here as well...I don't like to mention names but @JakeTheSnak3

 

I stripped the 4R and officially sold my 4R. I didn't want to do it, but it just doesn't make sense at this point. 2 months ago my mom went to ER. 5 days later my dad fell and was also taken to the ER. My mom ended up having a stent put in for her heart. My dad was ultimately diagnosed with bile duct cancer. I brought my dad home to pass away in the house he paid for. He died 5 days after coming home. My mom is now doing slightly better, but its a matter of time with congestive heart failure.

I decided to move in with my parents and did so the day my mom went to the ER. Well they have a CRV and I had a 4 Runner that is being leased. After going back and forth and not wanting to get rid of the 4R which my mom can't get in, I decided to try to sell it. I decided the CRV is the better option for awhile. Its almost paid for and the 4R is only a year old and technically I was only renting it. And I'm not the one paying for the CRV.

I will just keep the CRV until my mom passes and then decide what to do with it. I probably use it to travel the country while getting more than double the mpg as the 4R. I was surprised that I don't hate the CRV even though I do hate the CVT. I was also surprised that I can sleep in it once I'm able to travel again. I will make some changes to it over time. Hoping this car is as reliable as my 4R's have been. I'm going to miss this forum and my 4R, but things changed quickly. A huge positive is for the first time in 30 years I don't have a car payment. I will pop in from time to time for the hell of it. Take care guys and gals. Thanks for all the help!!

Wish you the best with your mom. You made the right decision for sure and the crv has a pretty solid track record. Vehicles come and go. God bless!

 

I recently installed TRD pro black matte wheels. Does anyone have any recommendations on sealant/protectant for matte finishes? Thanks

 

I got my pelican case installed. I hate having things lose in my truck I also lined it with felt so it would not rattle so much.

 

Man that’s a lot to have to deal with. I wish you the best and hope you enjoy the CRV. My wife drives a 2018 and absolutely loves it. Peace brother.

 

So sorry for your loss. You’re doing the right thing. Spend as much time with your mom as you can, you will have no regrets. It’s so hard losing your parents. Remember the good times and what an awesome job they did raising you.

 

Man I feel for you. God's cruel and nature's a bitch. To suffer is to live. God bless you! Time flies, a 4Runner will come back to you

No words I say here can ease the pain your going through. Losing a parent is never easy. My own dad passed away at 43 from bad health issues. I was 23 at the time. I'm now 41 (42 later this month).

We all deal with death and pain in our way. You simply will have to find yours (whatever/however that may be).

I pray God gives you the peace and assurance that surpasses all understanding (or whatever your religious beliefs may be).

As others have said, enjoy the time you have left with your mom. Even on her or your bad days, attempt to find the good in it. And most of all, cherish those memories. As the old hymnal says, "Precious memories! How they linger. How they ever flood my soul!"

God bless @DallasTRDPro.

 

Yeah it’s been a lot in a short time, but once my mom passes I can move to the mountains finally.

 

Family first toys second, You are doing the right thing even if it hurts a bit you will be glad you did. I hope you and your mom can make some good happy memories before she goes.

 

Great post. I really appreciate it. This is such a great forum.

 

Yeah I will be back in a 4R at some point. Maybe the 6th Gen will blow me away.

 

I'm so sorry to hear about your parents. Given the circumstances I believe you are making the right move. Be well, stay safe, take care of your mom as best you can. Maybe we'll see you here again one of these days.

 

Most definitely.

 

Does anyone know if I can install side mirror sequential turn signals on a 2015 4runner that did not come with side mirror turn signals?

 

Used it to tow ATV to go riding Ashland,Pa. Reading Coal site.130+mi round trip. about 1/2 tank of gas.
