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

I got this from Harbor freight and mounted it on the older jack I had works great, helps on cutting down the cuss words LOL

 

Also this works perfectly, link below for the creeper, lightweight & strong, very stable as well

 

well god damn!! Now you tell us about this gem!! Lol

 

link for cross beam

 

much appreciated!

 

Don't kill the messenger, I had just saw your post this AM

 

This must be a Pro skid plate problem??

The SR5 and OR skids have the hooks up front, which make them easy to reinstall. The Pro skid doesn't have the hooks, I'm assuming?

 

It is a bit of a struggle especially when sites like "Trail Grid Pro" & "Cali Raised Pro" websites claim their products fit 2010-2024 4 runners THEY DO NOT FIT all 4runners 2012 I can tell are different somebody who builds their sites is copy and pasting they still have not corrected the gas tank fitment skid plate i requested and sent photos finally gave up and will have to take bracket to metals shop to get modified. They're instructions are for 2014 & above,
the only mount to body is here on my 2012

too close to drive shaft for comfort their site shows bracket in opposite direction toward driver side, it won't go that way on a 2012!

 

Sorry if I missed it… what’s Saker’s mod?

 

correct it does not

 

do you have a massive leak orbis that rust preventor spray?

Well all the other mounts screws go went fine its just that bracket is ass backwards to mount it, like i said ill modify it to make it work.

 

I forgot about this little mod I did last year.

Has anyone bought all the hardware from one vendor, If so please let me know. I currently have 9,596mi as it sits in garage. don't have any long hauls planned & would like to do at 10k oil/filter/tire rotation even W/back issues.

 

Here you go….

TRD Skid Plate Mounted w/ Studs 2010-2025

 

Oil and air filter changes. Gave the belt a cleaning while there. Almost in the 200k club.

 

I believe it's because the Pro was never a thought in the designers and engineers minds when the 5th Gen was developed. It was an afterthought and really everything about the Pro is port installed accessories.

On the 6th gen there is a bolt that stays in place that you can slide the skid off of so it can kind of hang in place while you add the other bolts.

 

Oil and air filter change today.

This is the ticket right here man! I’m glad I asked and thanks for the help! And thanks to @Saker for coming up with it.

 

thank you!

 

You are welcome sir!
This idea was tossed around and I was tired of playing the game of lining up all of the pieces to get the bolts started.
I’m glad it is being appreciated by the members that have decided take a little time and effort to do this mod.
Have a great day!

 

Prepped, painted and installed the rear recovery points I picked up from @water a while back. My daughter brought them to Albuquerque on her latest visit from Portland. The PS threaded hole threads didn't need any chasing, although I did buy an M12 x 1.25 thread chaser. It threaded all the way in by hand.

 

Glad they worked out and will get some use!

Portland is getting that southern heat this week, 100deg for 5 days. I painted my skid plates and sliders this morning before the heat hit. Scrapes came from wheeling last weekend in the Tillamook State Forest. I was proud to see my 4Runner make it through a trail that a Toyota truck (heavily modded) on 40s had trouble with and an FJ80 on 35s could not complete. The trail was slick from light rain which completely changed everything. Looking forward to going out to the Cascade Cruisers Cruisin’ the Woods event at the end of September.

Also getting all the bits together to install an antenna mount and antenna for my Ham and GMRS radios. Will use my handhelds for now. On the fence for which radio will get permanently mounted as I use Ham in Oregon and GMRS everywhere else.

 

For your radios and where you want to mount them, if the mounting brackets are different, you could mount the two brackets with heavy duty velcro so they can easily be switched.

 

Teton knobs to replace Ellis.

 

dang you got the double teton workshops
