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

Pick your poison sunny Bay area!

 

Just installed some switchback led turn signals. They are nice and bright and double as a more attractive drl over the stock drl.

 

Is this it? Your picture looks better than there's.....

Added a new front bumper, suspension change next.

 

Picked up my plastic from the post office. Definitely overpriced, but adds +10hp and looks good. So win win.

 

That’s probably close to $900 dollars in some plastic lol. I really want that grille but 600 bones is hard. And I thought the Tacoma pro grill was over priced... at least it’s twice the amount of plastic.

 

Any difference?

 

Lol. I couldn't justify $600 for my 3rd gen either. But thankfully I like the 4runner a lot more.

 

Ebay, seller is miatoyotaparts. At the time, their pro grill was the cheapest I could find. There were cheaper options for the lower valances but wanted $40-$100 for shipping. So I went for the package deal with free shipping.

 

Which window visors did you go with? I keep hearing Weather Tech is the most popular...

 

Does it feel like $600 dollar plastic? Are the letters just double sided tape?

 

It took half a day to install Warn Winch Mounts, X-BULL 13000lbs winch.

 

The letters are taped. Must be strong 3M, there's not much wiggle. The garnish is 1/8", it feels sturdy and a bit of weight to it.
Like I said before, it's all overpriced since you have to have both the upper grill and garnish. I like the look so it's worth to me. I'm happy with it.

 

You don't have to remove those to adjust them? Adjust them with a spanner right on the truck.

 

I have the ToyTec Ultimate kit, same shocks just a nicer top hat. Not sure what coils you're running either? Either way, I had zero issues adjusting them on the truck.

 

I'm very happy with this kit overall and for something like $1400 it was well worth it. IMO, adjustable coilovers that can't be adjusted unless you remove them is pointless. Very poor design by fatbobs. How much are you lifted total? What coils do they use?

 

It's funny how different experiences can be. I had nothing but awesome customer service through ToyTec and never broke a spanner so never needed a new one. Not sure how you managed that lol? Anyway, as long as you're happy, that's really all that matters. The Ultimate kit does ride firm however I have driven 7-8 hours at a time and it didn't bother me at all. What was so bad about it on your truck? Did you have the 5100s out back also or the Boss shocks? What rear shocks are you running now?

 

I just assumed you broke one, my fault there. Only reason I could think of that you'd want another one. Anyway, I have the superflex rears with the 5100s and it actually sat a little low for me with the front at 3" so I added a 3/4" spacers to the back and now i'm happy. I do agree, they do ride firm, especially on speed bumps. With that said, they handle the road just fine for me a in general. Your tundra suspension is likely not the same as 4Runner suspension but who knows. I wasn't looking for plush, that's what I hated about it from the factory. Who knows what I might switch out to in the future though, I get tired of everything so nothing lasts long lol.

 

Cornfed made them for me, custom order. 3/4 on the DS, 5/8 on the PS, sits perfectly level.

 

Used it to haul a used motorcycle I bought from SD to MN...averaged 16.4mpg, driving between 70-80mph.

If it weren’t for the loud noises coming from the folding aluminum trailer, I wouldn’t have known anything was even behind the truck.

 

Geeeez.... all you posting way neat shit. Welp, i put some plastic on lol.






At the moment, im not SUPER stoked how they fit, but, they do look ok (i think) and time will tell how they hold up (they are the cheap, tape only ones). We shall see.

 

What sliders is that?

 

Just got my roof rack rails powder coated. Honestly I don’t understand why Toyota doesn’t make the Trd Pro ones already black since everything else is. But turned out great on my OR.

 

Damn, that looks so much better, and agree. Its odd to me, yota didnt/doesnt do this from factory. That, looks soooo much gooder.

 

I don't understand why Toyota doesn't put the 2010-2013 Trail roof rack on the TRDP and TRD OR. It looks much better/rugged IMO.

 

I concur. In fact, if there is one easy thing to do that dramatically changes the exterior appearance for the better, it is black rails.

What I find mind-boggling (well, not really boggling, I am not putting that much effort into giving a shit about the color of roof rails) is that Toyota pretty much had to decide to make those rails silver. Every other car / SUV with factory roof racks has a black colored rack. Every single one. Look at other cars on your commute. From the shittiest Kia minivan to the nicest Suburban, they are all kind of that natural composite black color. Toyota literally had to say to themselves, "lets get those roof rails... and paint them!" WTF!

I especially hate the silver rails when they are contrasting against black wheels. You can't get black wheels and leave the roof rails silver (pay attention to that, southeast states Toyota, with your gay ass XP editions)...

But yes, once you go black, you never go back...

 

@MeefZah Would you rather have silver rails or the '19 TRDP rack?

 

Eww.... I would actually take the silver rails. At least those could be painted. WTF is that contraption?
