    Picked up a 2010 SR5 with 140k miles last week. Clean inside and out. Better than expected rust level for its age. Came with 32" BFG Winter T/A tires, manual transfer case, and no pesky manifold air injection. Spent less on it than on my Tacoma mods :laughing:

    The 4Runner came with a bonus finishing nail in the tire. Had to get that plugged first:

    AL9nZEVJbWdjy1IBYqzk4rgwIyDn1A-kjprXozTX_d147be8a368de28796aaf3fe9377df44d121fa40.jpg AL9nZEXVDwU5cSwZbOYuyZNtK_pZRnXbUMngClIA_a2b4ea273be1ac3d90c0b6daf5ea684aa961aa75.jpg

    Then it's getting the stash of parts installed. First to go in is a Diode Dynamics C1R reverse / aux brake light, P/N DD7422, bought from a local speed shop. The kit includes a breakout cable that plugs into the back of the Pollak trailer connector, and includes a little flasher box to blink the brake light on initial application. Same P/N works on 3rd gen Tacomas as well.

    AL9nZEWjH46HzkLROzr4ocCC_L3iBznGISgtu_dJ_8d61b7c7aef49dd493dbebf937761800aeda4a53.jpg AL9nZEXfhH21BDV5ACWZ4Tek8rjmb2UXFDxzBKCS_bb6a440d47c96669c01b553d73f71f4f1574ae5c.jpg

    Previous owner somehow bent the Michelin wipers. Replaced those with Bosch Icon P/Ns 24A and 20B. Will repaint the wiper arms in spring.

    Put in new carbon cabin filter TYC P/N 800012C and a Salex console organizer P/N SLX112

    VHB, but buy from an authorized vendor. The ones on Amazon can (usually is) be fake and don't bond as well.

    3M molding tape from your local auto parts store. Available in 1/4", 1/2" and I think 5/8" widths, though you can always trim with scissors.

    Those are not US spec 2010 SR5 bumpers. They rather painted Trail bumpers which is Canadian spec SR5.

    I installed a dash cam. I wanted something reliable, not too expensive, and fairly small. I went with the Garmin dash cam mini 2. Also got the polarizer lens. I’ll see in the next couple days if I like it or not.

    Right now it’s wired using the mirror mod adapter so it’s only on when the car is on. For now that’s fine with me. Down the road I might hard wire it for parking mode.

    install was super easy and I like that I can’t see it when I drive. No wires or cables in the way. Slightly visible from outside.

    Cobbled together a phone mount using parts I had laying around - Garmin Nuvi GPS bracket, two i.Trek adhesive mounts, and a clamping arm from a defunct R310 dash cam. The phone vibrates too much on bumpy roads though. Long-term will need to get something less flexible:

    AL9nZEWb0E0cothm8tEo-QkoIdCGvqFIb8sf4UP3_a2145ea897d96fe6c89d9367d9d8297424ca6549.jpg AL9nZEVQcU7dFB-Y2kHeHUia93KCBQJMm7myilia_b852d0d6ef2cf92061400c226e78a84137f60af0.jpg

    Doubled the approach angle for $0 dollars by removing the chrome nerf bar :laugh:

    Despite not being 4K the video quality is pretty decent in my opinion. Don’t count on it if you want to record your adventures in sharp National geo documentary like quality but definitely enough for a dash cam for me

    She's getting there. Over the last few days, I've re-mounted the awning using a set of Sherpa brackets (previously it was just mounted directly to the side of my roof rack, which was not an ideal set-up, the Sherpa brackets are awesome).

    Then I changed out the front grille to the TRD Pro style grille, with a kit from YotaXpedition. They were great folks to deal with, and with a 30% discount for having the grille with one (hidden) plastic tab partially broken, it came to about $150, which is far less than half of the OEM grille.

    Finally, I mounted a set of Maxtrax, a Pelican BX140R cargo case, and three 10L Wavian jerry cans and a 10L Specter water can. I had to modify the jerrycan mounts to work with my roof rack, but they are now secure.

    Thank you! I would eventually like to go black or bronze, but for now I have too many other things that take priority for the funds. :D But that said, I definitely don't hate the ORP wheels, for being silver, they are kind of nice.

    I wonder that black TRD Pro like grill giving the mismatching look. With stock grill TRD Offroad wheels look great on Silver (to my eyes)..:)

    I think you're right. Having less silver and more black in the grille area makes the wheels stand out more. Mine probably would look better with black wheels. But the TRD Pro wheels are even narrower than the ORP wheels right? I thought the ORP are 7.5" and the Pro are 7"?

    I did the photoshop of black, silver, and bronze before going to bronze on my silver. But I was more than happy with originals for 6 years. I really like the black rims on white but not on silver for some reason.
