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

They are.....Elka also makes Dirt King shocks. Dirt King is adamant they are spec'd to dirt kings custom tuning, but the shock body and and parts are all Elka across the toytec aluma and dirt king series

 

I installed a Midland MXT575 GMRS radio with a Midland MXTA25 ghost antenna. I also upgraded the stock microphone with a Midland MXMC01 ANC microphone. I installed the radio in the center console and used a remote RJ45 connector that I mounted on the front of the center console to connect the microphone.

 

No I was not aware of this. But I never heard of Elka or Toytec prior to this purchase. My wife is starting to get pissed about all my upgrades. I have more in the works. She’ll get over it. I did already LOL

 

After new rotors, pads & new toyos, mount/balance & alignment. The truck is driving excellent - no vibes at all. Buying the pads & rotors during the sale was perfect timing. Rotors & brakes are sounding great after about 600 miles

 

15 or 50 watts? I've been wanting to pull the trigger on one for years now, but i'm anti-social... Mostly.

 

I got them from here: https://www.liftsupportsdepot.com/products/lift-support/.

 

The MXT575 is the 50 watt version. Without question it’s a great radio and worthy addition to your 4Runner.

 

It really never ends once you’ve caught the mod fever. I’m at 20.000.00 and still haven’t made up my mind on a roof rack.

 

Well. The post above is going to be hard to beat. I did nothing specific to the 4Runner, but one of the cup holders from my daughters car seat got lost in the airport so I 3d printed a new one!

The car seat lives in the 4Runner so it works for the thread, right?

 

After graphene coating and a few miles and bug splatters.

 

Awesome set up! …

 

wanted to follow up on the LasFit bulbs “Brights”… they throw a very nice white beam a long distance. I am very pleased with them.
I would compare them to having off-road lights on… They are strong, white, and very nice to be able to see that far and wide, cruising down, lonely, highways, freeways, back roads I can’t speak for longevity on them. Now there is one glitch one ghost in the machine that I noticed is when you put it in daytime running light mode that bulb is used and it flickers. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing and they’re very bright, maybe too bright to be used as daytime, running lights Somebody with much more knowledge mechanical knowledge can explain that glitch. I’m thinking it’s the current that’s being sent to that bulb when it’s on daytime running light mode but all in all I will be keeping these. Just wanted to update if anybody was interested in them

 

nice

 

IIRC, LED's can run at a lower voltage. That's what the relay and circuit is doing when your DRL are active, lowering the voltage. Therefore, you will get bright light on DRL mode and also notice some flickering.
Some of us, me included, with earlier models disabled the DRL so we could run higher watt LED's in the Hi beam slot without having the issue of bright DRL's blinding oncoming drivers.
I didn't want to be "that guy"!

 

Installed a Sony bundle from Trail Grid Pro. Wifey is loving having CarPlay again instead of the stock navigation.

 

I, for one, welcome our new AI overlords.

 

Great setup. I like that fire extinguisher mount!

 

Very nice

 

Super nice

 

They just don’t get it

 

Installed bp-51 and 285s on my 2015 4Runner Limited. Attaching before and after image.

 

Last December I bought my used CPO Gold, Wind Chill Pearl 2024 Limited with 1031 original miles from a Toyota Dealership in North Dakota. It just turned 4900 miles and I did the 5k warranty maintenence today because we are taking a little road trip this weekend. I am 75, so climbing under and back out of the truck is kind of tough, but there were no left over parts, no leaks, no drips, no stripped bolts and everything turned out right, including the test drive.

I have been doing my own wrenching since the 60s, so this one was nothing too special once I figured out the skid plate and the Limited's air ducts. The next time will be much quicker.

 

Thank you for that information, I just won’t click in daytime running light mode. I have the
FFAs installed
Since many are not fans of Raptor lights I found
forward facing Ambers
They will be my new daytime running lights

thank you for sharing that information

 

the eagle has landed early

 

nice work
its a whole new truck

 

walked past it. about it lol

 

Thanks dj for bringing to my attention something I did not yet realize I needed.....I'll be ordering one from them soon.

 

703’s look excellent on 4R’s. Nicely done.

 

Anyone ever purchased DIY plans for a drawer system off of Etsy or anywhere else?
