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

Oh man I dunno if a viper cut would have fully stopped that rock damage, oops, f*** it right!? I've thought to myself before, once on these rocks what's the proper strategy to get off, for the bumper.
I recommend getting your hands on a Dremel saw just cutting it yourself. I did it in the garage last year, not hard, yes I was nervous. But hell you already scraped the rock

Should add your rock damage to my thread LOL

Dudes, I love these

 

Replaced my non-existent OEM splash guards with ARK.

 

Whoah! That’s easy to miss! Good catch on that!

 

@Yotaholic can hide problems with your cuts with cowles automotive edge trim

 

Got the high clearance cut done. Incorporated a curve, similar to what T4R Garage did.

 

I had this on my 2020 ORP, removed it and reinstalled it on my 2022 ORP. It is pretty easy to install. The hardest part (for me) was getting the wire harness through the rubber grommet in the firewall. Other than that, it is very easy.

 

Yup. Happened to catch it when I swapped my winter wheels & tires on. Makes you wonder if a dealer tech would ever even notice it. Pays to crawl under your truck once in a while!

 

Added a 0.5" lift to the rear today (already have the front set at 1.6"). Bottle jack between the axle and the frame made removing/replacing the coils a lot easier. The entire job took less than 2 hours.

Now I have the same stance as a Pro, but 1/2" taller all around (and 33's). I'm happy with the way it looks.

 

Yeah I did Antman's mod on my 2018,not sure this vendor had this back then. Had to semi disassemble steering column, cut into wire, splice add relay run a power $ add a fuse. I still have the schematic/diagram if anyone wants it. Just gonna take 3 plug terminals out of pwr connector, tape it to 1 sided straight scribe, pierce it through that boot, RTV it then re-install the Brn, Blk, Grn wires back in their respective slots..It's supposed to be in 40's I may use electric heater my wife uses when getting Xmas decorations together on my work bench.

 

Which switch did you use? Did you buy the "Anytime" I like having that option for dawn, rainy days, dusk & W/hi beams on.

 

Washed off all the mud and other grimy bits!

Also picked up the last stuff I needed to get the front plate mounted since those just arrived.

 

Were you on stock rear coils?

 

Trying a new phone mount. Will use it for sometime and post if there is any issues-

definitely curious to see how this works after some use. I don't like have the phone in the middle of the dash. Becomes a distraction but I have been trying to figure out a place to put it when it's connected to CarPlay. I like the center counsel mount Pro Clip has because then the phone doesn't take up the much needed cup holder!

 

Give me some time. I drive very less. I will atleast try some gravel road before I say it's good.

 

No rush at all! Just excited for a new approach on something. I had a Rago Fab dash mount but it felt too bulky.

 

Nope! My 3d prints are no where near this good, I'd be embarrassed to even give away what I have printed lol.

With that said these are near perfect the contour lines are on point and looks factory. Make sure you have the yellow clips they do not come with them

 

Thanks to 4Runner Lifestyle I was able to buy these plus the Dome light! Super easy to instal and love the RED lights! Now can anyone tell me is there after market Red bulbs for the lower door lights? Also sorry not the best pics but you get the point!

 

Added some Rad Rubber wheel well shields. Bought them back in March and were sitting around. Today while adding some fluid film I went ahead and installed them.
They are much thicker than the original and the plastic clips are strong and quality.

 

Raptor lights. Gonna put them on. Had them on my TRD RO. I just watched the video from

I'm away from home till tomorrow night. He says to use Ign 10a in eng bay fuse box. That'd make them on when ever ign on. My question does anyone have the underside cover of that fuse box. I want to tap into parking lights.
Looks like gotta tap the Stop/Tail fuse in the interior fuse box.

 

And now all the chrome from the lug nuts are gone.

 

I finished up adding some anodized billet bling, to brighten up that boring engine compartment. I'd had the JDM Oil Cap, Agency 6 Battery Clamp, eBay Rad Cap Cover and TRD Intake for a while, but finally found "matching" Brake Fluid Cover, Dipstick Handle and Washer Cap. They are from Boomba Racing, and are marketed for 22-24 Tundras. They also have an Oil Cap, and you can get Red, Blue, Black or Clear anodize. The Coolant Cap is designed for the Tundra Reservoir, which the 4R does not use. I also discovered that these same caps will fit my son's 2011 FJ, so likely will fit most anything with the 4 litre V6. No, I have no connection to them, but I have used their products to dress up my MX-5RF and CX-5, and have found the quality and customer service to be excellent.

 

I was......and still am. I don't usually carry much weight in the back.

Since no-one makes a lift coil for the rear of our trucks less than 1" (that I'm aware of), I just added a 0.5" cornfed spacer.

 

20-30 lb constant load on the windows. Yikes

Ok, mass update for most of what I've done with my new to me '22 Off-Road that I purchased 10-16. I'm a Jeep person by default but now I have this, a 1st gen Taco and a few Jeeps left. I do like the dependability of Toyota vehicles. A lot of what I've done to the T4R many might scoff at but it is now what I like. One of the first things to add were AT tires to rid it of the highway rubber. I went with 285-70 17 KO2's as I've had very good results with them in the recent past. Took mild trimming and front mud flap removal and several road force balances to make it right but it is good now. No lift, none planned. I also added a cat. coverup plate and a t-case skid plate. Added some front and rear lighting including amber grille LEDs, white DRL LEDs, white switch back fang lights, LED ditch lights, LED rear flood lights and rear aux. tail/brake liftgate applique lights. I installed el cheapo roof rack cross bars, not a good choice. Installed a Fogster module for fogs on with high beam function. A Redarc brake controller also found its way in. A few other things including an electronic air horn, various anti theft measures, a CB, a 50W GMRS radio, CD player, wireless Android Auto module, a voltmeter, a console lock box, various storage idea's and a cargo cover found a home as well. That covers most, I'm sure a missed a few things. So far I like this rig much better than my Taco. Not as peppy as my 392 Wrangler though. Lol.

 

Damn, lots of good mods there. One thing I am interested in is that glove box organizer. I'd appreciate a link.

Thanks,
Pete
