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

State Farm Tracker?

 

Front Differential fluid is definitely a bit more annoying. Barely could get my torque wrench enough space to move more than one click at a time.

Thankfully it's done for the next 50k miles

 

Turn in your man card. It's a disgrace to know what the hell this is about. I hadn't even heard of the show til I read about it here.

So...Tim, have you been spraying and tapping all of the bolts?

 

Had the ECGS bushing installed.
Changed the front & rear differential, transfer case & transmission fluids. Currently sitting at 70k. Should be good to go for a while.

 

Did you drop the transmission pan or just drain and fill?

 

Drain & fill. Didn’t feel the need to drop the pan with only 70k on it.

 

Got my OTT on Thursday and drove about 200 miles on Friday. Love it!

now gonna sell my pedal commander on the cheap!

 

100% a game changer for the 4Runner.

 

Washed it....vacuumed.....wiped down the inside.....sittin in my chair admiring it!

 

Last weekend I changed out my recalled Ironman UCA’s. While I had it apart I installed new Bilstein 6112’s, set at 2.6”.
This weekend, I put on new P285/70/17 Falken Wildpeak at4w’s with some SCS Blaze 10 wheels.

 

I gotta book this appointment, happy to know you like it. It’s a $590 CAD OTT for me locally

 

What is a OTT ?

 

I got it Thursday afternoon and took a quick trip with the wife. Drove about ~280 miles and didn’t need to fill up. Lots of hills, some traffic, speeding up to 85, and I carry a lot of extra weight.

For me the trippy part was how smooth the shifting.
Again, just after about 2 days though.

 

Got my rsg sliders installed last night at 2a.m. And today just ordered my method 703 matte black wrapped in Mickey Thompson’s Baja boss should be here next week

 

I had to look this up originally myself
I think it flashes the ecu, essentially
“Overland Torque Tune" is one of the smoothest custom tunes available today with specific attention paid to those areas that produce more low and mid-range Torque along with top end performance”

 

So first time buying chemical guys tire shine last night, today we put the kiddos for a nap, I pull up the 4R to hand wash on my tiny driveway made for ants, rip n buy a pack of bud light - maybe first time ever (I think playdixie told me they’re one of his favorites)…
and the damn hose connector blows up in my face 1 minute into rinsing the truck.

I’m using the sliders to eat chips&salsa instead. That was my last hose.

 

Well, at least you had snacks!

I washed mine this afternoon, with some Chemical Guys Honeydew foam stuff. It came out well, but I still have some water spots on the roof despite my efforts to rinse well. Grr. Nothing like a good hand washing to help a fella find the rock chips. Also grr.

I also got the AVS Aeroskin installed.

 

TRD cold air intake. Mostly because it cleans up the engine bay and looks cool, but it gives the engine a little bit of an intake growl driving around town. BAM Wholesale comes through again! I ordered the wrong filters, so I’m just running the original air filter for now. I used the MAF extension wire so I didn’t have to mess with the wiring harness.

 

Installed the CaliRaised cat shield. Two washers short, replacing a 14mm bolt with 9/16’s, and the rubber grommet doesn’t line up where it is supposed to. Other than that, not bad.

 

Wash day . Can’t wait to dump the silver bumper valences .

 

Weather tech bug+stone guard installed

 

What will you do with them? I've been tempted to have mine wrapped in black or a dark gray, but I'm not sure whether that's the right way to go.

64mech: the fang lights look good. Did those come from AJC, or someone else? Happy with them?

 

I got the fang lights from 4runnerlifestyle.com. I am happy with them, although in hindsight I wish I would have got the triple light version. Nothing wrong with these though. I just think the triple would look better.

 

Thank you. I've been looking at those.
Having a new 4Runner brings WAY too many opportunities to spend money, haha!

 

Beer and chips/salsa always a good choice @djwantke.

 

And it does.

 

No kidding! I got a feeling I’ll end up spending more on upgrades than I did buying the damn thing! Funny thing I’ve never been one to modify a vehicle, but there is so much cool stuff available for this rig!
