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

Got some new Toyo AT3s (255/80-17) to go along with the new Bilsteins (6112/5100).

 

before & after

 

Diode Dynamics door LEDs

SKU: DD0030P

Bulb Size: 194

Color: Red

Bulb Model: HP5 (92 lumens)

 

There’s nothing to flex on that screen capture

these are more comparable

 

Nice!

 

There’s something about a fresh detail

 

What did you install? How does it work with the OEM head unit? I wonder if it’s better image quality than the OEM MTM package?

 

I’m pretty sure it is better quality than MTM.
MTM gives you the Birds Eye view and side cameras but the quality is horrendous on the 5th gen. The 6th gen will be much better quality based on what we’ve seen from other trims. Still keeping my 5th gen though. Just wish Toyota did half ass it because it’s the end of the generation

 

I need to see the front

 

Added Toyota’s OEM Rock Rails. I had previously replaced the interior lights with some LEDs (big difference), added a catshield (f*# thieves make me spend money on what could have been a cool mod). I’m good for a while now. I’ll replace the OEM tires when they need to be replaced.

 

Nice

 

I'll be interested to hear your impression after some time on them. That's the same size tire I'm most likely to get.

 

I've been thinking of removing the front sway bar to gain articulation but here it is with it







and another angle from front driver side

 

stickers are hate speech, go straight to jail !

 

What brand is your vent shades? They look a lot bigger than the AVS I have.

 

Got my roof rack delete kit in.....gonna be removing it as soon as it warms up here in a bit!

 

Good clean fun.



Dropped this in today for around $250 in parts a la carte from BAM. Indicator was out of stock so I plugged it, and just swapped over my new-ish Wix. The difference in sound is rather subtle.

I still kinda want an exhaust, despite a history of installing them then modifying to reduce drone in other cars.

Next project is reworking my cargo/fridge setup for the tenth time.

 

So KDSS does do better in the front

 

@Yotaholic yes KDSS is slightly better in front (unless one removes the front sway bar on the Pro). Not sure it's enough of a difference to the naked eye if you put a pro and a kdss side by side but you would for sure see it with a measuring tape. Also hard to compare pictures of different environment which is why your screen capture of the Pro did not show any flex (hence I sent pictures of rear flex which is slightly higher that kdss but again not to the naked eye)

 

It’s the Cali Raised anytime kit. Integration is pretty seamless, with harnesses that splice between the stock and new. Video quality is similar to OEM.

 

I found a buddy. Im on the left.

 

Hit 150k miles, here's to another 150k.

 

Look at that swaybar disconnect that I shared.

 

Yes I saw it. Someone else put it here a few weeks ago before it was released and back then I was really thinking about it but after seeing wanderlust overland's video the install is a lot more involved than I expected.
Someone in your thread said they ordered it and I will attentively look at feedback from other users before I get one.
If it shows to be reliable I will most likely eventually get it as I've been wanting a proper sway bar disconnect since I got the 4R but first I want to see how it does overtime.

 

Hooked up a witeless CarPlay adapter and got a 3d printed MagSafe bracket off of Etsy to bring infotainment system to totally wireless. Would have cut down the cord on the charger, but don’t have soldering kit

 

Falken Rubitreks in OEM size, x 5.

And tested.

 

Nice! how do you like them so far on and off road?

 

Installed the Diode Dynamics hitch mount reverse light to augment the woefully bad stock reverse lights. Install wasn't exactly the advertised 5 minutes as the plug was a bitch to detach. Also, I found it stuck way too far out using the stock tabs so I did something a little different to mount it flush.

 

So far I like them.

First they are cheap as shit. I got five of them with my five OEMs in trade for $550.

No change in MPGs.

Good traction off road and consistent.

Quiet on road.

Slight rumble as you come to a stop from the knobs but that's normal.

Corner well on road.

No complaints thus far!
