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

Yeah it did turn off the safety sense. But does not affect the cruise or air bags. I don't like all that tech anyway. All it is a crutch for people on their phones going down the road.
This is the light I got on my dash. No big deal to me.they do make bumpers without the bull bar. Those will not affect the toyota safety system

 

Any issues with that bar and tss?


- just saw the replies. Didn’t scroll down before asking

 

Yah it won't bother me . I hate all this nonsense they are putting on cars today for all the yuppies out there driving around these days.

 

Looks great

 

I like it

 

Fluid film the frame. Not sure i did it correctly. It didn't make a huge mess that "others have posted". The CRC, seams like a better product with better coverage.

 

How's the fluid film on attracting dirt.

 

Will let you know, but looks like it will be great at it.

 

This arrived this afternoon. But I plan to do the Cadillac first, get practice and decon it wholly, clay bar and all that....

 

I need to do a full detail before 100 degrees hits. Let us see how those products work

 

Today, I installed a cold air kit/noise maker. I took it for a drive afterwards and concluded the following:

1.) Besides liking the way it looks, it makes a helluva lot of noise on medium to hard acceleration, which I’m good with. Normal driving, there is no difference in sound.

2.) As for any increase in power, doubtful but there could be a very small increase. I also have a Pedal Commander so the throttle response was already improved over stock.

The installation was pretty easy except for the vacuum hose supplied in the kit was a PITA. It was a little to narrow to fit. I took a drill and opened up the ends a little more and it fit fine.

As for why I opted for the Spectre kit over K&N, TRD, etc., I liked the look of the metal tube over the plastic ones offered in other kits and I could not find another kit with a metal tube. Just a personal choice.

 

Got the dfg tilt slider installed. It took a lot of modification to get it to work though. The slide was 2 1/2” too long and honestly could have been a little shorter than that. And even after modification the fridge wouldn’t fit without hitting the back glass. So we had to do some more modification to the slide but after 4 trials we got it where we wanted.

And it works perfectly now. I did talk to another member that has the dfg tilt slide and they said with time it won’t be so stiff to close the slide. We found a little weight in the back compartment of the fridge makes it tilt back in a little easier. https://youtube.com/shorts/YOfiZqQPRA0?feature=share

 

Indeed I will!!

 

Installed my anytime backup and front camera.

Also hardwired my windshield/dash camera and installed my rear camera.

Today was camera day lol.

 

Found these on Amzon. Figured for $9.00, give it a shot. M6x1.0 and M8x1.25 cleaned the frame threads for future slider install, much faster then using a t-handle and a normal thread chaser or tap.

 

Did a little road trip to buy my new toy. Drove almost 1000 miles total in 3 days but truck did flawless towing.

 

how how was the install? thinking about the anytime front camera, but i wanna relocated the rear camera to be high for when I get an ultra swing.

 

Still waiting on my Transfer Case and Gas Tank skid plates from RCI, and saw that my Dirt Kings should be arriving Thursday. That'll take care of two sets of planned upgrades when they arrive: Armoring the underside, and getting it lifted.

Next up is to assemble some recovery gear. Purchased a set of Apex Overland Front Recovery points, and looking into a receiver hitch recovery point as well.

 

Probably not for everyone but in Chicago not a lot of off-road places.
Added amp steps for short people

 

THANKS!

2018 r1 with 1926 miles when I bought it.

currently has ecu tune, fender eliminator and full titanium Austin Racing Exhaust, sounds like a damn nascar lol

 

Does the supercharger add much pep. Is it worth the money.

 

never seen these. May have to try them for skid plate bolts

 

nice. I had the first of the new gen 2015 r1 in central Texas. Kick myself in the ass for getting rid of it

 

Yeah, bummed I had to get rid of my hog.

 

Please don’t judge. I got a new welder and did my own BMC. My stick welding can use some work. But I tried the best I could with the time that I had and trying not to burn up the rubber so I had to stop a lot. The tight space and weird angles. A mig welder would have been better. Now I just wish Toyota would move that stupid mount backwards as so many people do this mod.

 

nice! where did you order from..

 

went with the bronze trd..going to wrap in falken wild peaks AT3w or hercules terra trac a/t II.. install will be over the weekend..

 

It was time consuming. I spent 12+ hours on everything and still have an issue to resolve that I’ll take care of when my ICS mount comes in and I find time to install it.

I’d set aside a weekend for it. Just have to be methodical with how you want to wire it up.

 

Same here, was about to purchase a much more expensive option and came across these. Wasn't expecting any thread damage, just some dirt. A little WD and a12mm ratchet made short work of it.
