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

I haaaaaaaaaaaaaaate when that happens. Most of the time, I feel like the biggest truck in the parking lot, even when I park next to other 4Runners. But on occasion, someone with a 3" lift and 35's parks next to me. Doesn't matter if it's a 4Runner or not, it makes me feel like I'm getting into a Corolla.

 

Finally installed my new Sherpa Crestone. Its been sitting in my garage for a few weeks. Made some adjustments after I took this photo, it sits much lower in the front now. Very happy with it.

 

My son and I finished mounting the switch panel in the cab today. Thank you @Photon_Chaser for all of your help and ideas on mounting. We pulled the wire through the firewall and up the A-pillar (being very careful of the airbag) and through the headliner. I added washers on the left and right side of the bracket as the control panel is a little rounded and didn't want it rocking left and right when engaging the buttons. Next weekend we will do the wiring in the engine bay.

 

Added a pair of LP9 behind the grille and a pair of VLED V50 Monochromes as hi beams in place of the DRL.

 

I used my 4runner this weekend. 100% stock (besides the rusty hitch I sanded/painted) but we're outside & loving life

 

That’s amazing! I have an auxbeam in my Tacoma and love it! That’s a great, out of the way mounting location. Mine is on the dash by the A pillar and I’m concerned that someone will think it’s worth busting a window over. Your mounting location is very out of sight, out of mind until you know it’s there. Great job!!!

 

Thank you, we are taking it slowly. Hopefully next weekend I will have the ARB air compressor installed as well.

 

Brought her camping

 

Nicely done!

 

Thanks you were my inspiration on where to mount it.

Vicious got some lights today!

 

Ok. So I also attached this as well. Upper Black grill cap. I got this on Amazon. I did this to match my black TRD Off Road Premium roof rack, and my black side steps bars on my 19 Limited. I want to leave a little bit of chrome throughout the body, but next I want to add a black OEM antennae , and then focus on wheel tire package.

 

The black upper chrome cover is a little bit cheesy, and they should’ve done the entire bar instead of just the chrome front to cover. Wonder where I can get a OEM one or that covers the entire bar?

 

My Odo says 24,000 miles but it should be like 26,000 because of 34s? When is a good time to change the Transmission and Transfer case fluids? I have done a lot of offroading, but no towing yet.

 

Did the black overlay thing, hate chrome, waiting on some Weather Tech stuff.

 

Where'd you get the overlay?? Some brands don't make the E or the R look clean.

 

Like it. I have a pro with everything but the back blacked out. Drove me crazy, so I ordered the kit from Toyota.

 

The kit you ordered was an overlay or a replacement?

 

overlay. felt shady doing it instead of replacing...

 

Part Number:

$80 PT948-89180-02

PT948-89180-02

 

Damn ... just a quick Google search .. Toyota wants $150 for them overlays lol

 

Yep, was getting ready to write that it's crazy to pay that for plastic with tape....

 

Yea.. thanks for the p/n tho and sharing. I appreciate it!!

 

NP. At this point, I'd always feel better buying OEM than aftermarket, when I can. I guess I always assume quality is better...probably isn't.

 

I hate lifted 4runners or SUVs that have 3 inch plus lift and still run stock tire size.They look ugly and obnoxious.
If I see one of these in the parking lot I go out of my way to park as far away from one as I can.

 

Mine was an overlay

 

The new stuff is coming with actual black badges, the dealer hit me for $150.00 for the overlays , stupid I know, I hate chrome a lot.

 

Dealer

 

Thanks. I only have the chrome that came with the 21' Limited. We trimmed the plastic up to just under the plastic-chrome where the fog-lights sit. Hope that answers your question.
