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

I need to do mine. 7000 miles but only 3 months have passed. Not a single Mobil or Valvoline in any Walmart around me.

 

That stinks. Maybe Amazon?

 

I avoid Amazon for fluids. Way to many fakes. And I refuse to pay the prices these auto stores charge.
I am sure some Walmart will have it. I have pushed my interval to 10k also, so I have some time .

 

Yes even if you just the ppf clear film with ceramic coat believe me it will be so much easier to clean. That’s what I don’t like about a roof rack trying to wash and clean around it.

 

Are these a Discount Tire only model? Not seeing them on the corporate page:
https://www.goodyear.com/en_US/tires/by-type/all-terrain

https://www.discounttire.com/buy-tires/goodyear-wrangler-ultraterrain-at

silly me -- answered right on the product page:
"Available exclusively at Discount Tire, Goodyear Wrangler UltraTerrain AT tires will take your adventure vehicle to new heights."

 

Still a bit miffed Toyota changed away from the SD cards after 2019. No cheap updates.

 

Great now you can check every month for frame rust as water gets trapped where the strap is.

 

just for reference there are water / debris resistant solutions already on the market:

none are as slim and space saving as your example.. so perhaps not a great choice for the application.

I see from the later post.. you printed what you need.

saving the product links for someone in the future who may not have quick access to additive manufacturing.

 

Programmed another key + remote.

Total cost, ~$35 not including cable.

 

yeah I think they are now: https://nexusautospa.com/about-us/

Get the Walmart phone app, order it and have it shipped to you or pick up at a local store!

 

i switched from Mobil 1 to Pennzoil Platinum Wally has plenty in stock

 

Are you happy with it? I know the answer but noticed anything different.
Maybe I ll give it a go.

 

That's really cool. Where do you buy keys? what software? cable? I have zero frame of reference for this. Never seen anything about people doing this. Das real cool.

 

yes happy and no noticable difference. As long as its full synthetic like Mobil 1, Im good with it and the price was the same.

 

No Pennzoil also. What the hell. All I see is Quaker oats or something.

 

Software is Toyota’s Techstream except it fell off the back of a truck.

v12 only goes up to the 2018MY but so far the things I’ve fiddled with have had no trouble talking to my 2021MY.

Cable is a mini VCI/J2534 cable off eBay - fit and finish isn’t especially reassuring but it works. It advertises Techstream 18 too but it was removed from the listing so I’ve been making do with 12 above.

As for blank keys, you have to know what kind of key you have, mine is an “H” key (often says on the blade) but it’s not hard to figure out online.

Got it cut at a locksmith to match, acknowledged that the key alone won’t start the car without programming.

My 4Runner came with only one aftermarket master key/remote that looked a bit worn so I got a button-less/no remote (to save money) master H key cut and programmed from the dealer and used that as a template for the new blank.

I bought a key/remote on eBay but it’s definitely not original for $27. Came with the remote innnards (Denso branded at least) and immobilizer chip.

Procedure itself was pretty simple with a little intuition. https://www.4runners.com/threads/5th-gen-key-programming-issues-techstream.26723/

You can also enable some settings like all-windows-down when holding unlock. (Carista is a popular way to do this too)

 

damn!! No Quaker!

 

Mmmmm quaker oats

 

you dont mess around

 

4Runner finally broken 7000 and starting to earn it’s keep
