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

Toyota has a 25% off sale on parts for the next 4 days . Worth a look if you have the part number.
This post was for the front bumper cover .

 

After procrasting for several months, I finally took my SloRunner to Discount Tire so they could plug a very slow leak. Seriously, it was like 1PSI per month. While I was there they also rotated the tires and several of the employees gushed over how "Cool" my ride looked.

The guy who drove it back over to me said "Bro, I love your Prius." Then tossed me the keys all cool like.

 

Finally got around to changing the cabin filter.

 

Link please...can't seem to find that sale.

 

Brought Photon in for 55K service. Fresh synth oil, new filters (oil and air). Had about 4mm left on the front pads and just a hair over 2.5 mm on the rears which left me thinking why the difference...usually it's the fronts that wear more so. I had them replace all four pad sets and turn the rotors. Flushed and changed out the brake fluid too.

 

Finally got time to take decent pictures after redoing the entire tired OEM suspension.









Bilstein 6112/5160 with 700# Bilstein front coils and OME 2895 rear coils, and JBA UCA's. Did Metrix sway bar end links. Curious to see how they last for being cheapos.

 

procrastinating???

 

After sitting for 3 weeks in my driveway while away on an RV trip my tire pressure icon was on.
Took it in to Poway Toyota, they rolled me in and out in about 45 minutes.
Then I drove up to Pine Valley California to see an old buddy who had just gotten out of a Care Facility after close to 3 months. All and all a good day

 

Quicksand is the coolest color

 

Quicksand or Voodoo blue for me... (says the guy with white)

 

RCI aluminum front skid plus filler plate


RCI low profile rock rails. I wanted some protection, without the weight and size of full sliders. I really like how flush they sit and don't get in the way.

 

You took it to the dealer to fill the air pressure in your tires?

Why not just go to the local gas station and be done with it in less than 5 minutes?

I'm not trying to throw shade......I'm genuinely curious as to why the dealer for that?

 

Y’all don’t have an air compressor at home?



****They have a few pancakes on sale right now****

Dang just 20 bucks for a cordless tire inflator.

 

This^
One sits in my car under the passenger seat all the time. One of those essential tools to have on hand. This and a jump starter.

 

What jump starter do you use?

 

Gooloo GT6000.
Works as a backup charger also

 

Drove it home after letting it sit since Monday @ Express Park S. Work trip

 

That's the coolest paint color of all...and I dig that front bumper! Do you have plans to get a rear bumper also (I notice I have more issues with rear approach angle than front)?

 

They created the label & shipped it within 12 hrs. Fastest I’ve seen in a long time. They have UPS as the first option. Even better - I hate USPS. They either steal or lose my shit. I’ll post pics asap. UPS says Sat is the delivery date

 

Why fix it if you plan to continue off-roading the truck? Can you out the dent from behind?

 

You make valid points, yes I can access behind the damage and could maybe pop it out a bit. I don’t care for the viper cut tho too. Evidently I likely may never get my hands on a 5th gen bumper cover at local wreckers, so I gotta work with my existing bumper cover till I invest in a steel bumper

 

Thanks for the tip on that compressor kolter, just ordered it to keep in the truck.

 

I do. I have an air compressor, but I also have a portable air compressor / battery jumper combo that lives in the 4Runner. A handy little unit.

I just figured if he's going to the dealer to fill air, there's no way he has an air compressor at home or in the car.

 

Thanks! Ive been debating a rear bumper, but I haven't found a rear that I'm in love with. I trashed my front bumper so it only made sense to upgrade it with plate bumper and a winch.

It's the Backwoods Adventure Mods bumper if you wanna take a look at their site, very happy with it.

 

Had new wheels and tires installed on the 2024 4Runner today. Fuel 18” Reaction wheels, and Nitto 275/65R18XL Ridge Grapplers

 

Any rubbing? They look great

 

Found this, World Toyota Parts out of Atlanta
https://autoparts.worldtoyota.com/promotion-terms

I've never used them though, always have found Ourisman (formerly McGeorge) to be great prices and quick shipping.

 

No no rubbing at all. They clear with no issues so far

 

Update with the install/update?

Anyone else dealt with a non-OEM version?

Been looking at these...trepedacious to load an unknown into my rig.
