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

Those look good! I like the high clearance cut...very GX460! Very clean looking!

 

Got my new wheels mounted - Falcon T2 17x9 +0, stock tire size.

 

its ALWAYS about emissions and MPG on the sticker when new.

 

My 2c
Same same mine ran with a lil more burn. Not a giant umph but to me... noticeable. Ran a few tanks and then noticed mpg was not up to snuff. Went back to 91 mpg gains slightly for me from 10ish to 14ish. Also it is DIRTITTIES! I wouldn't trashing all together tho there's a use for it every now and then. ie when needing a lil more gurgle when towing perherpes

LMMFAO

 

i wanted to get one too but saw the mixed reviews about being solid red or flashing.. also like the reverse light feature by tapping the wire..

 

closer to finished
Stopped to make a tattoo session

 

Mine's at the dealer while they try to fix an intermittently working backup camera. I have the black screen when going into reverse problem. It seems to happen most when it's really cold. Yay.

 

Looks good. I’ve got the Sony AX8100, it’s ok. The Metra dash kit is garbage though. I need to try and put the factory one back on.

 

Brighter? Mine is slightly dimmer than oem

 

There is a very easy fix for that. I had the issue as well, but after removing the hatch interior panel, then cutting the tape to let the wire breathe a bit, the issue has been taken care of. I wish I could find the thread with the write-up on it.

 

How does it feel compared to what you had before?

 

I guess it is time for RCI skids...took the stock skids are far as they would go.

 

New sway bar end links from Overland Custom Designs.

 

I did a mountain thing on my dash. I had installed a matte black wrap on there then put this in gloss black over it. I like it.

Wait. What's the rear seat mod exactly?

 

It's not hard to find via googling. I already found it a couple days ago. I just wanted the dealer to do it under warranty saving me the work, but they're still at the point of not being able to replicate it, nothing coming up as a diagnostic fault (I wonder if this system is high tech enough to even throw OBD2 codes to begin with), no info from Toyota, etc.

I'm going to get the 4Runner back tomorrow and take off the back plastic on Saturday morning to get access to the wiring you're talking about. I've taken off the equivalent piece on a Jeep Liberty before, and now I'm more properly equipped to do so than I was back when I did it on the Jeep.

Part of the fix wasn't just cutting the tape but also zip tieing the plug that connects to the camera. I think there's another smaller panel that I might be able to utilize and would avoid needing to take the whole thing off, but I don't know if I'll have enough space to work if I try going through that panel.

 

Is that the black Metra trim piece? I have the same unit and don't like my silver Metra trim. I plan on switching it out but its hard to find.

 

Auto mode is just right. Set it and forget it.

 

When I get home this evening I’ll send you the run down on it. It’s very easy to do. Couple simple hand tools and some extra time. It’s a minor mod that gives you a little bit of extra storage under your rear seats without hindering the functionality of anything.

 

I'm glad I have mud flaps and top plate on my sliders. Wish there were no holes. Imagine driving faster on trails hitting rocks on the side of the body without it. One of the reasons I support full running boards over predator steps.

 

Added a cargo carrier up top. Got it Harbor Freight. They had a 10% off coupon this past weekend on items over $50. Normally list dor $99.99. After discount and taxes, it was $96 and some change.

So far I like it.

Was a small booger bear getting it to align just right. But won and done.

 

Got the rear dashcam working. Grounding was a lot harder than it should have been.

Also mounted my roof storage box.

 

Moisture at a connection. Dielectric grease should remedy that.

 

Haha! That must be nice! My bank would be PISSED if they saw what I did to their 4Runner! (Cut body mounts, welded/frame modifications) haha. Only a few more payments for us then I am doing a body mount Relocation AND the fun will Really begin! Congrats!

 

We Installed the Meso dome lights (front and middle) and we have LOVED them.... They are bright white but we really only use them in Red mode. Our 8 year old insists on always having the light on at night so she can do whatever 8 year olds do when we are driving around at night and the Red does not kill my night vision while driving. 100% worth it for us

 

Traded out wheels the other day. The Venom Rex 601 in Carbon Graphite were nice for a while.The Method 305's look better at least to me.

 

Thanks! And congrats on paying yours off soon too!

 

Taking advantage of above-freezing temps, replaced the phone mount with an ISaddle ‎CH-384. It comes with two magnetic heads, but I prefer to use my existing Garmin clip. The pre-applied adhesive tape on the base was crap, so I had to replace it with two strips of 3M molding tape.



Also installed a Rexing V3Plus dash cam with front and rear lenses:

 

Well it has to happen. They grow up so fast. Hit 20,000 miles.
