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

Did you use a barbed fitting, or just slip the new hose over the end of the oem drain line?

 

Not the op, but I used a barb when I did mine.

 

I used a barb coupler

 

Man I miss Prine. One of the greatest singer/ songwriters ever.

 

Yeah, definitely miss him. Only singer / songwriter that could make you laugh and cry in the same song. He helped a lot of new artists get their break. Got to meet him once after the show, most gracious guy I’ve ever met.

 

Removed running boards, added CaliRaised cat covers, Bilstein 5100's on all 4 corners, with .85 lift in front. Hard to tell in the pics, but in person, it looks great, and level now. Ordered RCI aluminum front skid, and low profile sliders.

Did you use the stock springs, or did you upgrade those?

 

You guys made me think of this song that I haven't heard in a while.

 

I hit 50K on my 2013 Trail while driving home from Montana to California. It's finally broken in! Obviously not my DD...

 

I stuck with the stock springs

 

So I removed the stock running boards. Just got got new rock sliders but have to prime and paint them. added an awning to my Sherpa Crestone and put a Rigd Ultraswing on the back yesterday.
Next week starting the under armor.

 

It almost never rains in Phoenix, but for some reason the rare times I wash the 4R we get some rain or a dust storm despite the forecast showing clear for the following few days

 

Cleaned her up from the weekend

 

I had already done the Trail Grid Pro plug and play Kicker speakers, but today had the Kicker amp (and required components) installed. Holy cow, what a difference! The factory radio is vastly under-powered, and pushing some more power to those Kickers really lets them shine. Huge, huge improvement over stock.

 

I’ve read so many conflicting messages on different sites concerning the black lug nuts. Do the Toyota black lug nuts fit on the 5th Gen with the Pro wheels?

 

That's what came on mine from dealer

 

What did the amp and install set you back if you don’t mind me asking.

 

love that bumper. Rear the same?

 

Drove the 2011 "to" our Grandsons Kindergarten graduation today.

 

Officially did my 29th oil change today. I'm at 127,601.

 

Hit 125,000 recently.

Needed to do the brakes (for the second time) so I did that today. Rotors and pads.

Changed the oil last weekend.

Still need to do the spark plugs. I have everything I need, but I've been procrastinating.

 

What did I do to my 4Runner today?


.....I stalked it, using the Apple Air Tag that's hidden in it. The shop STILL has it! I'm not sure what's stronger, my hatred for the rental car they gave me, or my love for my SloRunner?

 

Can you use your misery to help others out? Links to the Apple air tag you used, and hidey-hole recommendations?

Coming from the least tech-savvy person alive...

 

^^^Asking for a friend....

 

I have a Thinkware cam that links to my wifi, I can log in and watch the video live. It also let's me know the location and speed.

 

This took me a couple of days but I finished my home built drawer system, which includes a space for my power inverter, the power connection for my fridge, 110 outlets, USB-C and USB ports, and tie down points. I also got my ecoflow 500W alternator installed.

 

Yes

 

Nice

hey how do you make the photo change like that?

 

soap brushing the wheels yesterday didn’t clean them nearly perfect enough. just buggered off from the wife quick to hit them with the shammy in the garage, damn wheels are so tedious







scratches!^
