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

Managed to cobble together a bracket and mounted a new speaker just behind the lower grill, gonna give the Feniex 100w a try.

 

I ordered it from Amazon. I guess the company is actually called 4runrun.com. You can order it direct from them too. Love the look and function so far. Looks factory really.

$16 Raptor Light Switch Compatible with 5th Gen 4Runner Blue Push Button 32mm and Fuse Tap

edited: Apparently you can’t order it direct but they do have the specs/info on the switch on their site.

 

Found a local member who wanted to swap his Trd pro “scooped hood” for my sr5 flat hood

 

You're talking about your truck, riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight?

 

Lol. I am heavy too, 6, 2 and 215 lbs

 

They're one and the same.

 

TRD Pro Grille/ Heritage install with raptor lights.

Connected the lights to the tail fuse per the instructions but may change them to something always on.

Bought the OEM TRD Pro Grille with bumper garnish. The bumper garnish does not fit a Limited with the radar, had to cut it to fit which is disappointing because it specifically says it would fit the 2021 Nightshade. It has about an half inch cut out for the radar, needs a lot more. Ordered it from BAM.

I figured it out though, happy with the look.

 

Did my first oil change today, as I just rolled across 1000 miles on the new 2024 4Runner. Pretty straightforward. I did have a sticky crush washer that didn't want to leave the oil pan, but a gentle whack with a hammer and a thin-bladed screw driver resolved that. Installed a Valvomax valve on the oil pan for future oil changes. Used OEM filter and Kirkland 0W-20 Synthetic. The used oil was a nice amber color, and I had some sparkly bits in the filter folds. Nothing that I didn't expect to see. Good to Go until we hit 5000.

 

Dats a lotta 1Up metal!
You driving for a MTB team!?

 

I’m curious how to do this. I didn’t want to plug raptor lights straight into the fuse box so I bought a switch. But, I haven’t bothered on installing yet because I don’t know how.

Here you go sir....

 

Thank you!

 

I have a dash switch , a relay. All that effort wasted for these unreliable raptor lights. No, these are not cheap Amazon ones. Didn’t even last for an year even my 4Runner doesn't get driven much.

Sounds like you got the answer already. That video does a pretty good job explaining how to do it. Took me some time as I soldered and heat shrunk all the connections. Not hard, but took time to do. Sounds like these lights are cheap but the good news is, I can swap the lights out really easy. It’s just one wire going to the relay from the lights and of course, the ground. So either way, it’ll be wired and ready to go even if the lights are cheap.

 

No team, but I lead small bike events where sometimes I need to transport quite a few bikes. This will be a lot easier and more cost effective than organizing a driver and truck for a modest number of bikes.

 

Dropped it off at a friend's audio shop to get a new system installed. All JL shiet

 

Will you be upgrading the head unit?

 

Yes, getting rid of the T9 and putting in a pioneer 8600nex

 

Got the new tires and rims installed. Looks so much better.

 

Installed a matte black piece of vinyl on the hood "scoop" aka "The Reflector". Purchased from Chris - "MyWyfsRnnr" on the forum.
Good guy to deal with - he shipped quickly, sent a quality product and provided a great set of instructions.

 

Added seatback protectors for the 2nd row. $54 on that jungle shop.

 

Nice!
I kinda wanna do this too. But I never noticed the glare in eight years until last summer. Maybe I only noticed it then because it was after I read about it here.
Chris is a good fella

 

I've had the hood scoop glare on several occasions and want to do this. Rather than just the black matte though, I want the kick ass topo in black matte with red lines he sells. Last I checked though he was having issues finding a supplier

 

Ahh, road or mountain?
Have a brother out in Eastport, did some ridding in Mannorvile and some tightly packed trails in Eastport. Flat and spinny.

 

Some simple backroads exploring ...

 

I pulled off a cover in order to access the front of the radiator and a bunch of crap that blew onto it. Underneath the plastic clips, I found exposed bare metal for my eight month old new car. When I was routing wires after I first bought it, I noticed something odd in the door jam, which was some of the primer I have owned other Japanese made Toyotas that were painted white and that was never the case...

 

I do mostly road riding on Long Island. There are limited trail areas, and it's very flat for the most part on LI. There are some decent spots if you just want to spend a couple hours or less on the trail. I'm more focused on longer distance adventures, which generally means getting off the island to somewhere less populated with more varied terrain.

 

Here's a site that should help with locating and getting info about trails on LI:

If you don't mind me asking how much did this run you?

I was thinking about going 5% in the rear for privacy and darkening up the front a bit too. Ceramic windshield and sunroof to block the Texas heat as well.
Got a quote and the price is crazy high... but it's a reputable shop that does high end vehicle wraps so that's likely on me.

But I'm curious how much higher it truly is...
