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

Changed the engine oil. Noticed my plastic foot stool fits perfectly under the front skid plate to support it while removing bolts.



Installed new 2-ft LED whips. Hopefully they last longer than the previous Vevor ones, which failed after 5 days.



Got an

$27 Bottle Jack Adapter for 12t Bottle Jacks, Safe Steel Bottle Jacks Adapter Lifting Saddle for 3" and 4" Round&Square Axle Tube, Fits1.65"(42mm) or Smaller Diameter Bottle Jack Accessories

axle saddle for the stock jack. Being 12-ton rated, it's grossly overbuilt (heavy) for the 4Runner application, and does not allow the jack to compress to its minimum height. Remains to be seen if it'll actually fit under the axle when the tire is flat.

 

What’s the purpose of those whips ?

 

^Makes the daily commute (1.5 hours one-way) more interesting. I've seen a few 4Runners, Jeeps and even a Nissan Titan with them on the highway, though I'll have to set them to a constant amber color for the street. They're standard equipment for the trails and sand dunes of course.

 

wasn’t star wars day like may 4th…..

 

Swapped out the 1” front leveling kit for a 2” leveling kit and the rake is now around 1/2” from front to back. My son didn’t want the 4Runner to look squatted so we didn’t go with the 2.5” kit and he’s happy with the new look.

 

No relay?

 

Been raining the past few days and it probably won’t let up until Tuesday (we’ve needed it though). Got back from Mother’s Day lunch with the family and decided to clean the interior in the horunna since there’s nothing else to do in this weather. I use the Griot’s spray on all of the plastics/dash/touch screen and the VLR on the Soft-Tex. No issues with this duo the past 2.5 years.

 

I had tested everything before install but miswired the switch after install.

@MWinkTRD
Think I’m due for a good clean in n out
Plus an ozone run

waiting on fluids/plugs to finalize a major upkeep, a good “spa day” for the truck can’t hurt

looks good bud

 

Thanks man! Mine had a considerable amount of dog hair and dust since it’s been about a month since I’ve cleaned it last. It’s my daily but I try and deep clean it in and out every month or two

 

took the 4r with the whole fam to the dump.
110lbs of junk, plus recycling & bags of textiles. Boys got to see the excavator crush a dryer and a dishwasher, and we saw a freight train

 

Love da dump
8 minutes away

 

vacuumed cargo area
best I can do

 

had only 1 jack

 

Please check if your dashcam have the same problem, file name and date sorting problem.
Here's a video I try to show the problem my cheap rear dashcam have, file names are all over the place and date sorting the same.

Ex - if you check the 2 sample clips at the end the morning video has file name 0144 and evening clip was 0024.
