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

I bought the nylon 3/8" barb fitting from Tractor Supply for $2.75. I just wanted nylon over brass or plastic.
I got a foot of 3/8" hose cut from a reel from an auto parts store for $1.00.
Took about 15 minutes. It's easier if you turn your front wheels to the left to give you more room.

 

Nothing amazing, drove for the first time in weeks.

 

That f-ing shin buster though!

 

Clean it up or replace it (you'll need starting fliud and compressed air.) They get packed with crud and lose their clamping ability.

 

It's a brand new grease gun. I'll probably just have to get the lock n load for next time

 

1st vanity plate after driving 55 years. Got the idea from this thread.
** I have to learn how to post pictures.....
I guess I figured it out?

 

Damn man, with a license plate like that, you are PHO-real!

 

Did this this today.. Easy and cheap.. all 4 doors.. Its the little things that make it cool.. Of course can only see it at night!

 

Those look nice and I want a set, but they ONLY come in one style. I'm not going to advertise for 4Runner Lifestyle for free. I wish they'd make a "Toyota" or "4Runner" lettering style.

 

Might be 4Runner adjacent but stopped by Equipt Expedition Outfitters on my way through Salt Lake Wednesday and had a Eezi-Awn platform attached to my 4Runners pup trailer. Seriously considering the same platform for the 4Runner now.

 

Installed the Morimoto XB Gen 1 tail lights.

 

Just bought them for my 24 hope they work, hate the look of the OEM DRL. I end up turning them off. I wish they updated the lights like they did on the 21 Tacomas

 

They do on Etsy. I recommend https://www.etsy.com/shop/OperationModOut

 

how about these?

the seller has a few different styles,

the ones I got have glass lenses and appear to be well made
plan to install this weekend

 

Well, shit... Now I have to buy yet one more thing for my SloRunner. Thanks a lot!

 

Booked install date, custom made dom sliders, 10°, no top plates - just simple.




example of my guys work:

 

Aimed my headlights down after their install last week. The cart jockeys at the Meijer weren't sure what I was up to.

 

Got some weight reduction done so that's cool.

 

I've had mine from Operation Modout since last Oct. Love the way these look!

 

Good Lord sir! That's a lot of remembering where things go.

 

You are nuts, lol. I’d forget where half the stuff goes.

 

Dude my brother came over and I had to do something else for a bit. I come back and he's got the dash apart and I don't know where he put any of the screws and bolts.


All the interior stuff and zip locked bagged and taped to the parts they go to so that's pretty fool proof.

 

I've seen video's on YouTube about this. The did quiet down the interior decibel level, but not by a lot. Long story short (in my opinion): It's a lot of squeeze for barely any juice.

 

Changed the oil filler cap. It's beyond me why mechs tighten a simple plastic cap with a gasket with all their might. That's why there is a gasket so you don't keep yanking it.
This was the old one.

 

I replaced my moon roof seal. While purchasing the 4Runner I noticed 6 spots where the seal was damaged. (critters?) No leakage to the interior during washing or in rainstorms. Ordered and received the OEM seal quickly. Installation and adjustment took about 1-1/2 hours. Nobody would probably ever notice the old, damaged seal, however it is one of those “peace of mind” things that was bugging me!

 

Taking her to the woods! Trailer pulls like a dream.

 

Hey that's really ambitious work there! I'm looking to put a custom rear cargo light in the headliner and those pics help me see areas where I may or may not have clearance between the headliner and roof structure for the light assembly!

 

I need to do this myself. Any issues with it the replacement process?

 

No issues at all. I watched a video from The Car Care Nut guy which was very helpful espeically the part about using a silicone spray during the seal installation. Even the adjustment portion was easy if you are comfortable feeling where the T25 Torx bolts are. I ordered the seal from a local dealer for $50.84 including tax and shipping.
