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

^Full BOM here: https://www.4runners.com/posts/469512

 

Is there not a 4Runner specific one on their site, or am I just missing it?

 

It's under the Tacoma one, then you'll see an option for 4runner

 

Thank you, unfortunately looks like 2020-2024 is all that's listed.

 

I added sound dampening and replaced speakers in my front doors this past weekend. Had no problems with door panel removal or reinstall. The key to easy reinstallation is shown in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crEKiz4guFs&list=WL&index=31

I installed sound dampening all over the interior of the door sheet metal and put less on the exterior part, focusing mostly on those areas that were acoustically lively when I tapped on them. I was pleased with the results: the doors seem much more solid, and I think I noticed slightly reduced noise when starting and driving, although I did not make any noise measurements. I'll do the rear doors next time I get a few spare hours.

I replaced the factory speakers with a set of Infinity Reference 697F's, and these were a huge improvement over stock in terms of bass and clarity. I cannot overstate what a POS those factory 6x9 door speakers are. Check out the photo below showing the absurdly tiny magnet on the back of the factory speaker.

 

I drove 916 miles from Irvine up to Sacramento and back this weekend to see family. I got between 20.5 - 21.5MPG average the entire way. I drove between 70-80MPH with the radar cruise control on around 40% of the time.

The OTT tune was fantastic going up the hills through the grapevine. Plenty of power and it would hold a gear as long as you wanted going up the hill with 4 people in the car and a trunk full of usual stuff.

 

Thank you!

 

Added a lightbar & then gave her a hand wash and wax over the weekend

 

Weather finally cooled off, and I had time to install all the mods I had been sitting on for months. Installed Pro Grill w/raptor lights(cringe. lol), black valances front/rear, and Morimoto 4banger fog lights.

 

Spot treated frame with Cosmoline rust converter. Will coat it with RP-342 Black in the next couple of days.

 

Did the Diode Dynamics DRL bulb replacement and added the CR1 LED pod to the hitch. DRL's were super easy, R2 and you are done. The hitch pod wasn't bad either. I just had my yearly Krown application done so it was pretty slimy under there. No rust tho!

 

I just used it to take the 5qt 1qt & a gallon ice tea of waste oil to buddies garage for his waste oil heater. They stayed vertical.

 

Are you using premium or regular with the OTT?

 

Regular. I believe you get slightly more power with premium but it doesn't require you to run premium.

 

Started my build page today. https://www.4runners.com/threads/my-2019-trd-orp-build.41703/

 

Got tired of my current arm phone mount swing all over the place from the poor lighter socket that i splurged on the offroam i found mentioned here. Its got the 20mm ball, so ive ordered a 7” arm with an elbow from Tackform that also uses the same ball size. The offroam arm is only 2.5 so its sits a little to high and blocks the vent a bit. I think the 7” arm will drop it down to a sweet spot. Just hope the weight and position of a longer arm doesnt stress and crack the dash!

 

I searched around but what exactly is your setup here? Lift, tire size, spacers. looks good!

 

Lifted! 2.5" front, 1" back. Billstein 5100 all around, 1.5" taller rear springs, Stock front springs. Also installed cat converter shields. It's a gigantic PIA to install the front struts with KDSS. But I managed.

 

Put these TRD Pro’s w/265/70/17 wild peaks on…so far so good.

 

Gassed up

 

Wife and I drove the 2011 to the gym to work out.

 

Post after pics please

 

Is it me, or is that front end sitting low?

 

Source?

 

Amazon. It's called Valleycomfy.

 

Long overdue but the rig is lifted!

 

Installed the BriteBox module for anytime fogs. Works good, easy install.

 

Sweet looking rig. I need more details. Tires, lift all of it. Now dammit. Lmao
