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

I enjoy mine as well.
I had the same 6112/5160 setup as I do now on my previous 2014 T4R.

 

Not starting a thread on this
It’s been a thing for as long as I can remember…

does anyone else’s music go up/down when you turn the knob down/up?

as in OPPOSITE OF CORRECT

mine spazzes most of the time prettie hardcore

 

Not mine!
That’s really strange.

 

Corolla goes up louder on its own sometimes. Aftermarket Soundstream. Just listening digitally in certain areas its clearer with more depth.

 

What's the spring setup on the Bilstein suspension?

 

I only wanted 1.5” increased lift on front. IIRC 4th Circlip Groove both sides.

 

Gotcha. I didn't see it mentioned on your build thread, so I thought I would ask.

Thanks.

 

Inspired by another post where someone cleaned their engine bay, I went ahead and added plastic restorer to all plastic pieces in the bay.
For an engine that has seen 200k, I will take it.
In other news, I had to go back to the dealer to sort out my balancing. They messed up the first time.

 

Front and rear diff, transfer case, oil & filter, greased zirks, engine and cabin air filter all while blaring Alice in Chains, driving the wife nuts. A good day...
As a side, anyone know where I can get an oem engine filter that has that additional thicker 'pre-filter'? Got what I thought was oem from my local dealer but it was without that additional screening.

 

Try a Lexus dealer because the GX460 and the G5 4R use the same one . Local Lexus dealer and Toyota dealer are side by side and owned by the same family. The Lexus dealer has that pre filter model and Toyota next door only carry the updated thin one .
Go figure.

 

Pulled two dead mice and a lot of insulating materials out of the cabin air filter compartment this evening.

 

Looks like a good time

 

Dang!

 

How did you like those pads ? Have 88k on mine. Need to do something? On the fence about going all out. Drilled and slotted, red calipers. The whole deal.So expensive! Didn’t skimp on everything else, so might as well.Putting on a Body Armor low profile bumper and Warn Zeon XD 10s, Rigid A-pillar ditch lights and 20’ Rigid bar light for bumper, Ultrahook, and a bunch of recovery gear ,next week.

 

Lol. No pics, but I did confirm the source of the unusual odor in the car today.

 

I've been running the

$21 WIX 49350 Air Filter

WIX 49350. I know you said OEM, but this is a good, cheaper alternative.

 

I use the same Wix, big fan of their filters.

 

nothing fancy... Just a photo

 

Same filter I just did this past weekend...

 

I go with the Wix, which also has the pre-filter

Tried to get my last free oil change from the dealership and totally spaced the mileage. I was at 26002 miles and they denied. Said they give a grace of a 1000 miles but not 1002 miles

 

I would find another dealer.

 

I would be happy to still have skid plate bolt holes that weren't stripped.

 

just picked up all new ss 1/4” hardware to redo my 4R rear fender fasters. and #8 ss screws + rubber washers for aftermarket EZ Flares on all four corners. the black zinc only holds up so long on the coast.

*previously removed front mudguards, rear mudflaps, and chopped lower portions off my bumper covers / fender liners - you’ll notice.
**have previously replaced some factory “push clips” with nuts n bolts for a tighter fit where the liner fastens to the fender. I’m replacing the rest today.

installation to take place during toddler nap time

^ this

I even lost bolts and nice aluminum skid spacers, following fluid changes I didn’t do. Span right out, unknowingly, on fsr’s.
I don’t have an oil change access hole, I learned the hard way don’t let those monkeys remove/reinstall skid kits

 

Unless your running like heavy 35s or drive like a asshat I don't see the point of fancy brakes on a slow suv.

I should of definitely replaced the rotors with the pads. Since I just did pads a get a slight steering wheel vibration when heavy braking. But since the pads are so cheap. I'll probably replace the rotors. If I have to replace the pads again oh well.

 

Washed, polished, and applied Adams ceramic coating today.

 

Is it your first time using Adams?

 

Installed Perry Parts bump stops. Now I gotta find the jumps!
