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

Congrats!

 

Lucky. My 40th was a month into covid and I couldnt do anything

 

1.9” Bilstein B8 6112 front and 1.5” 5160 rears.

 

Okay - WTH is this


2017 Toyota 4Runner Limited 4WD - $69,988 (NA)
Mileage: 102

That's a special kind of WTF, lol. And likely very slow.....er.

 

What a turd

 

What springs did you use in the rear?

Where did you buy the shocks?

 

Yes. Build thread is here:

Does your catch can have the 50-micron filter like shown here?



If it does, watch for backpressure which can blow seals just like a clogged PCV valve.



You can remove the filter and just put a small wad of dollar store steel wool between the ports and the strainer.

 

Next time I remove the can, I'll take a look and see if it has that bronzish-looking filter. Two things about that Aussie video: 1) he has a turbo diesel, and 2) none of the catch cans I've used has a pleated filter like that.

 

^The screw-in bronze filter is worse for restriction. But yes, being NA your piston blowby into the crankcase is less severe.

You can rev the engine with the oil filler cap unthreaded and sitting on the filler neck. Simple way to see if there's pressure buildup.

 

Used knife-less tape with 3M black satin vinyl and cut out this hood fill. I don't have the hood scoop and felt it needed something on the hood.

 

46th week of 2023. Looks good

 

Nice work

 

I was a good artist growing up

 

Feeling too lazy playing with differents psi numbers. Suggest a sweet spot for 285/75/R17 Load E KM3s for highway

 

I've been running 40 psi for on my load e tires for 48,000 miles. Seems that the center is worn more than the edges. I'll get 60,000 out of them easily. Knowing what I know now, I'd go with 38.

I like that

 

Vip Cut gets to another level with MTs

 

Looks great! I’ve been thinking about doing this to my Tacoma to cut down on the glare from the white hood!

 

Installed the taco garage DMM and blacked out the badges on the Runner today. Both very simple processes and took about the same amount of time.

 

This thing was listed for $89,988 earlier:

 

Hey look it’s a bargain now go guys! Buy! lol

 

In the last week I installed TRD CAI and the highly debated TRD Pro exhaust. Roof rack may be the next thing I do on my TRD Sport

 

Installed a Sprint Booster, and cleaning up the Trail Running Boards that used to be on the previous 4Runner. Glad I hadn't sold this stuff off yet!
