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

Thank you! Im happy for sure!

 

Traded out all the OEM interior light bulbs for LED.
Lightmeter says the LED's generally are twice the Lux output.

Original hatch light compared to LED replacement

 

Anybody ever get a burning hot/oil kind of smell after doing a hill climb while off roading with 4wd engaged? Thinking I should invest in a transmission temp monitor.

 

Looking good

 

Damn that looks nice

 

So, did you get it installed and how accurate do you think it is?
Been looking myself at purchasing one of these… Owned a 1989 T4R4WD which had the OEM Dash Mount Style … I wished Toyota still did these!

 

That's normal for them. Call, leave a message. Email, hear nothing back.

Keep calling and emailing; EVENTUALLY, weeks later, leave a message saying you will dispute the charges unless you hear back.
Phone rings soon after, and their fine products arrive soon after that.

Your mileage may vary.

 

Thank you so much! That means alot to me

 

I got lucky this time around it seems. They actually got back to me within a day via email. Now, the true test will be if my items ship when they say. Early next week is the timeframe given...Here's hoping!

EDIT: Well, hot damn! I just got the shipping confirmation emails and tracking numbers. I was not expecting that!

 

Picked up my 2021 Lunar Rock 2 weeks ago. 500 miles later I’ve done the following: LED interior lighting, canvasback cargo protection, pedal commander, schrockworks rock sliders, Icon Stage 3 kit, Icon alloy bronze/black wheels, Toyo Open Country MT 285/70/17. In short time I’ve fallen in love with driving my 4Runner. I love the way it looks and drives and can’t stop grinning like a kid.

I still have to install my S&b CAI and am having some black badging switched to bronze to match wheels, front windows will be tinted as well next week. Then last for this year will be C4 low pro with winch and lightbar and winch later this summer.

 

My LR is two weeks old today with just under 600 miles! The more I drive it, the more pleased I am with my decision to purchase it. You are not messing around - looks great! I have yet to do a thing to it and think it will remain stock for some time. I will remove the predator steps soon! They give the vehicle some eye candy, but they serve no purpose!

 

installing this weekend, I wanted to use a gps suction mount so I didn’t use 3m tape on the dash. Unfortunately the mount it came with is strange but I found something on Amazon that will work. Updates to come.

 

I have the predator steps as the only stock item I’ve yet to sell. I was blown away when I realized by picking them up that my rock sliders were about 140lbs per pair whereas the predator steps feel like they weigh about 30 per pair. Insane the difference in just raw brawniness.

 

My Bilstein 6112/5160s finally got delivered today! Ordered them back in (early) March. Throwing them on the Red Wagon on Sunday!

 

Finally!

 

I added the black emblems, I had the whole front end wrapped in xpel on my 2021 SR5 Premium. I would like to swap out the rims for TRD black matte. Just not sure if it’s worth it to upgrade the tires as well or just have the stock tires put on the trd rims for now until I can spare the cash for better tires. I don’t plan on lifting it I don’t off-road to much. I just got it in March just before they started upping the prices way above msrp. Here in RI the Toyota lots are empty of 4Rs and so few tacos and so are the jeep lots as well have very few new wranglers same thing is happening with the pricing on used and new Wranglers as well as 4runners. Its crazy. What do think is a good strategy for upgrading to trd rims and eventually tires. Would you have a local tire shop install as opposed to the dealer maybe be try and sell the old rims the truck has 100 miles.

 

Garage door openers

 

Factory Replica Wheels and Toyo Open Country AT III's. Completely spaced getting black wheel nuts until I walked out the door this morning. Kind of glad I didn't, I like the look with the chromies

 

yes, garage door openers and I am in the Macungie, PA area

 

As I posted earlier, I had Discount Tire replace my stock (new 2021 Venture with TRD Pro wheels) 265/70R17 Dueler tires with Toyo AT IIIs and found the passenger front rubbed in reverse, steering at full left, when backing out of our driveway into the street with differing slopes. Very surprised that the stock size would rub and a search of the forum didn’t show any other cases for that size tire. Using some masking tape I found it rubbing on both the liner and bottom of the fender. I ended up pushing the fender liner in mod and needing to trim a 1/4 inch from the bottom lip of the fender with an exact-o knife. Looks like that solved it. I just wanted to post that it can happen incase others encounter it. Still very curious what would cause a tire of that size to rub (looks rare).

 

I had the same issues with 1.25 spacers. Stock tire size but ran AT ties. took off mud flaps and trimmed bottom lip as well. still was rubbing in reverse full lock. made a horrible rubbing/clicking noise instead of smooth friction. I ended up taking my spacers off after 3 days of install.

pics are with the spider trax spacers on..

 

It's the Pro wheel offset.

The Pros get the fender liner mod at port before they ship the vehicle to the dealer.

Not sure why they didn't do this to the Venture trim, but they should have.

 

Do you think that is the same with SR5 Premium.. I like the spacer look but had to take them off.

 

Replaced the black/silver shift and t-case knobs with black-on-black.

 

Looks great

 

Hauled about 500 pounds of shit to the trash dump.

 

Definitely.

As you push the tires out further, the more of a chance you have at rubbing.

Were you using a spacer with the stock wheels? How big was the spacer?

 

1.25 inch spacer with stock wheel size 265/70/17 but all terrain tires..so as of now the spacers are sitting in a box lol..

I posted a couple pics above quotes with my spacers on..

 

That isn't too extreme. I would think you could make those work with the fender liner mod and the correct alignment (where your caster is set around +3.5 degrees or so).

I have stock wheels with 285's, the fender liner mod, and my caster is set to 3.6 degrees. With 1" spacers, I didn't rub at all. I put a 1.5" spacer on and now I rub at full lock in reverse. I suspect I'd get rid of the rub going down to a 1.25" spacer........and again, this is with 285's. 265's would be easy with a few small tweaks.

 

Where did you find the transfer case knob?
