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

Did my first time off road with fully(?) Stock orm 4 runner. Bought a rig a month ago and have long scratch like snake from passenger side door handle thru back of the tail light.

Went to Tahuya OHV park and got lost and it was very windy and we met no one along the trails. By the time me and my wife started to worry little bit we met a owner of classic land cruiser owner(don't even know which edition but it was very classy) and he guided us out of trail.

Feel sad but feel good at the same time. Didn't have to pay the money for the new mark.

 

Scratched the crap out of it! Won't be the last time but the first one's hurt a little.

 

It'll buff out. Here's what mine looked like. Before and after pics.

Ice cap hides them pretty well.

 

when you pull up to camp & it’s a double rainbow…

 

I say wear it with pride; I wish I had more opportunities to get mine all pinstriped up.

 

That turned out great! Similar scratches looks like too. Thanks!

 

Sweet! We are good friends with the Merus Staff and trail guides. They always treat us right and we enjoy wheeling and camping in the canyon with our 4Runners and Tacoma!

 

Drove the 2011 to the gym to exercise.

 

Hit the Famous 1,2,3,4 on The OD

 

Listening to Zeppelin 1,2,3, then 4, to celebrate?

 

Hell Yeh!

 

Respect!! My Favorite band!

 

A very flat tire after a 14-hour shift.



That won't come out, as if a burr were keeping it from being pulled out. So I shoved it in and patched the tire to find a Llanteria the next day.



Huh, how did that get in there? The amount of force must have been incredible.

 

I'd rather have a few pinstripes on the truck than not find out what's around the corner.

 

I’ve had that happen to me years ago.

 

I'm glad you were able to patch yours!

Hit this on a Sunday finishing a 75 hour work week

 

These flat tire posts have me rethinking sticking with SL and not going Load E.

 

A couple of the nastiest road-trash punctures I ever got were on Phoenix highways.

 

AZ highways have been the worst by far as far as that and stone chips in the windshield go! Traffic has been Western WA

 

I tried the ones that just cover the chrome section, I couldn't get them to fit at ALL!

 

I’ve seen places here that mount those tire weights on alloy rims. They are met to be mounted on steel rims only. Because of which, they tend to fall off since they really aren’t design for that so I’m guessing you’ll see those bad boys on the roads because cheap tire shops run out if the correct ones and use those instead!!


Rant over!

 

Is that right eh!?
Well hey I bought my taillight tint from the controvertible 4RunnerLifestyle .com. Looks like it has 5 stars, and in stock

 

Loaded up like the Beverly hillbilly's!!!

 

No joke. Back in the early 90’s, when I lived out there for a few years, I remember replacing three windshields in 12 mos…crazy. I can only imagine with construction boom since then how much construction debris e.g. nails, screws, etc. is lying around on the roads out there.

 

It looks like your dashboard just opened up and vomited out all its contents!

 

So if you’re ever driving home from vacation in your 4Runner, and a rotten watermelon breaks, and gets gross watermelon juice all over the place, know that you can disassemble the cargo area to clean up the stink. Hypothetically, of course.

The watermelon juice went through the cut in the Husky liner where the tie down hooks are, migrated under the styrofoam below the carpet, and got soaked up into a foam pad. Ick.

 

hey guys, appreciate it. let me know if ya have any specific questions, ill work on getting a video up on it to go over some of the small things that make it work & more importantly fit

 

question^
fastener method used for the top of the battery

 

can post that beauty snake scratch here in all its glory
