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

i give you 3 mo’s then Bye bye

 

Hope I don’t notice at all but I could always have a shop put the Pro side exit on the stock muffler. I have options.

 

thats what i did cut 3 flange and 2 flange off rewelded to keep the side exhaust

 

Exhaust pipes are overrated
I dig the side exhaust for less window smell

 

After approx 8 months and 5000km the same thing that happened to my old 2021 4R has started happening to my 2024 4R. The hood scoop moves enough that it started rubbing the paint off the hood on the sides. So this time I ordered new gaskets and instead of applying them to the scoop, I applied them to the hood instead. That way when the scoop moves it rubs against the gasket instead of gasket rubbing against the paint on the hood.

Testing identified the culprit. Process of elimination.
Ditch lights both OK, turns out one of two pre-made Deutsch wire leads coming off the harnesses factory Y-split has failed. Not a terrible outcome, I’ll repair it. Better than having to exchange the ditch light I foolishly mounted perfect before testing

 

where did you get your shift boot?

 

Filled up the 2011 with Ethanol Free Gas today

 

No hack, it's a standard Toyota feature. The door unlocks when you touch the handle, as expected. Restarting it upon entry is no big deal.

Frost most mornings these days, but mid-teens in the afternoons. So, typical nice Spring weather.

 

Awh…Canada…Celsius

I understand the auto feature, my key fob does it
Just hate that I have to shut it down to restart upon unlocking

actually watched a video bout pros n cons of cold starting vs letting it heat up without the cars fluids being able to flow

 

Did my own mod to use the puddle lights as rock lights. Switch it off to return it back into auto mode. Didn't want to spend over $60 just to add a switch. Also, wanted to use my own switch.

 

swapped out interior lights with an LED kit a co-worker gifted me.
apparently i dont have a light in my glove box.

 

Driving to the local hardware - Stihl store to get new air filters. Cracks me up that the weed wacker’s air filter looks like my 4R’s only smaller!

 

thanks for the suggestion, for others interested...
the part number is 7618335040

and its $2

 

For a mod I didn't know I wanted/needed - I was about to hit buy -- then got disappointed it doesn't support 2022+

some sort of PIN in the connector swap?

maybe I have to DIY?

 

Got it out of Express Park S. NO Door Dings!! Next trip I am PICKING my spot!!

 

You wouldn't be a Gynecologist, would you?

 

Also I have been working in the Aviation Industry mainly RW from the start & been exposed to A/C's doing gnd run/leak checks & all other operations & transitioned to FW Jet. Now mainly office work & OBTW Loud Rock Music too since a young'n too. So put that in your pipe & smoke it,Eh!

 

I love it! It looks great and the speakers sound great! I highly recommend them. No complaints so far.

 

I love the head unit. It’s awesome and other 5th gen on the road always look over when they see it. No I did not add an amp to the speakers. I did not have too!

 

Installed black shift knobs.

 

Any change in airflow from the vents that move from above to below the head unit?

 

75k service. Still going strong (or still being broken in)

 

I just find the correct pin for the puddle light and wire other lights to it. Just took the time to test each pin with a test light. The switch supplies 12V (un-switched) to the puddle lights when it is switched on.

 

what kinda phone mount is that?
do you like it?

 

It’s one that goes inside the cigarette lighter that I don’t use. I also added a coiled charging cable to keep it neat.

I didn’t want it up higher where it can block the air vents then have a dangling charging cord.

Yes, I like this set up.

I got my ARB Safari Snorkel installed today. Took about 4 hours between washing and clay baring the fender and A-Pilar area, putting two coats of paint on newly exposed metal surfaces, and letting the Loctite set on the studs. I didn’t drill into the A-Pilar and instead used some 3M VHB tape. One of the more nerve racking upgrades I have completed on the rig but I like how it turned.

 

Air flows come out just fine for me. It does sit and harder to direct the airflow but in all honesty air still comes out and works just fine for me with either the A/C or heat.

 

I'm impressed. If I did something like that, it'd prob look more like a Connect 4 game board lol.
