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

Those may be the worst looking rims I have ever seen. I do have raptor lights tho...

 

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

The flag mount has an American flag stamped in the stiffener web, patriotically made in China. It is so American, the welds are almost SEMA-quality:

 

Is the flag pattern upside down intentionally?

Never mind. I see now how the mounting holes are positioned. Makes sense now.

 

Sick wheels, bruh. We'll use them to fight the Beast.

 

I actually had the dealer inspect my tires while I was there to see if I had any screws, nails or whatnot in my tires. Vehicle still under warranty. Maybe I was being a lazy ass. Maybe I was hoping there were still free donuts available in the waiting area or the popcorn machine was on. I do have an air compressor that I put into use on my wife's Tesla Model 3 which also showed the tire icon from sitting 3 weeks. So I am not totally lame.

 

Ha!!
That's what I was thinking.

 

Yesterday WAS national donut day… or so I’m told.

 

The dealership that I go to (Vandergriff Toyota - Arlington) is like that. They are known for their delicious muffins. They have like 12 different flavors/kinds of muffins. The service dept is standing room only on Saturday morning's, and everyone is shoveling muffins into their mouth.

 

Never pass up a free meal. How were the donuts?

 

Why is the flag upside down? That's a signal of distress. Some use it to express an anti-USA sentiment.

 

I used them once before and got pretty decent pricing($76 shipped for 5 oil filters, 2 air filters, a cabin filter and 3 wiper inserts). Just ordered again and got 6 wiper inserts, a cabin air filter and 12 diff plug gaskets for $62 shipped.

 

Look at the mounting holes on the original part (see 3JOH22A’s link) — they’re above the flag cutout, with the “post holder” hanging down.
In order to mount the device in the correct orientation (flag upright), the roof rails would have to be much higher than they are, given the position of the mounting holes.

 

Germain Toyota Of Naples. When you click on Order Parts you’ll see a banner at the top about 25% off and free shipping over $75.00 . TRD marked parts are sometimes not included.

 

Just parked in a peculiar spot and hung out with my buddies







Also might have had a beer and contemplated ditching the 34s for some 35” MT’s…

 

Ark splash guards installed. Passenger side was perfect but the driver side had some bracket in the way.

 

Hey, DJ, what lights do you have in the upper section?
I don’t need to install more lights behind the grille, but the more I look at the front of yours the more I’m tempted to do so.

 

Showoff.

Did you repaint your rear bumper? I ask because my ocd eyes notice mine looks a shade off in certain lighting.

 

Update. Yes they rub a little bit when you turn hard right or left on the inner wheel well at the very bottom. So that sucks. May have to check into modifying that.

 

Few things more American than Chinese manufactured products

 

Is that....Alpine Shooting Range?

 

Cleaned the engine bay today….

 

Gauges are in... finally.

 

Hell, they were out of donuts!

 

Veery, very nice job.This coming from a guy that worked his way thru college as a detailer. What product did you use?

 

Same question here, how and what do you clean with? It looks almost like new...
Thanks if you could give a few more details.
Would be necessary for mine too.

 

I used straight simple green let it soak for 15/20 minutes then use some detail brushes to get in the tight areas then rinse follow up with stoner trim shine spray.......

 

@NeverTooLate71 @golfpilot
Last night, a “ChrisFix” engine bay detail video was on my YouTube while I passed out…”hot damn, I should really try this soon n thoroughly” i thought

great job @ipnpulz

 

Not a fan of those wheels either, but I am not you, so...

The silver valances look so out of place on some color 4Rs, I see why some either wrap or replace those asap. Solar Octane is one of those colors IMO.
