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

I have the RCI skid, which has a door for the filter and hole for the drain. I don’t think I can change my oil that quickly.

I will see next weekend.

 

I took care of a major maintenance item this weekend. New wiper blades.

 

After 6½ years, one of my Morimoto Amber fogs died, so I picked up another set. They probably needed replacing anyway since the lenses had seen better days.
(New on passenger side vs Old on driver's side)

 

I've had alot of practice.

 

Nice...Can you still open the moonroof all the way?

 

not by much lol but yes fully open with no contact

 

Got all but under the skid prepped for winter. looks all nice and new now

 

Made four trips to Lowes for concrete, electrical conduit and some Sch 40…guess how many sacks?

 

Scored two brand new rhino rack platforms 72x56 for $250 each. One going on the Tundra and one for the 4runner. I just have to figure out how I’m going to mount them.

 

Nice, what did you use?

 

had to load up the kids in the 4R and help my wife in her broken down jeep. before I arrived two dudes got out (stuck at a red light) and called her an effing idiot.

she had no hazards, parked behind her, the negative battery terminal was loosey goosey. got her on her way - not before she was mortified lol.





bought a second small recovery shovel (yellow) and roof racked it.







stole my wife’s garage spot.

 

i use waxoyl hardwax plus for frame etc and waxoyl 120-4 for crevices

the downside is it needs a touchup more often than woolwax. Since its thinner but I apply extra which does cost me more haha

Its cleaner looking and doesn’t get nearly as grimy looking as fluid film and woolwax.

 

Just drove a scenic route this morning.

 

Waxoyl is a great product, it’s what I’m using on mine.

 

nice sacks man!!

 

I know nothing about it because I live in the south. Do you spray it on the car yourself or have a shop do it ?

 

What is that red cap on the green can ?

 

Buy it online and spray yourself. Very easy oil based spray without a ton of overspray and is easy to see where you’ve treated. But honestly any frame treatment is better than none.

 

The green one is H2O so different than a gas nozzle I guess

 

Nice! Where did you source this great solution from?

I think he must live on 5th Avenue.......

 

I exercised my Amazon prime temporary membership I bought cheap ditch lights and mounts.

 

Got a product name or link? I'm shopping ditch light mounts and lights currently.

 

Picked up some carbon fiber pieces. Found on Amazon for a reasonable price and all fit very well.

 

Adjusted my front 6112s to 2.5 (1” rear B12 spring) to accommodate 285 Ridge Grapplers. Also added Method 703s in the 8.5x17 with 0 offset, Ark mud flap deletes, and minor front adjustments to eliminate ALL rubbing. Couldn’t be happier.

 

Hey man - so my RAA rack became “Unavailable” quite a while ago now. But, that eBay link you attached is exactly like mine: 64x39x6, 250lb limit, powder coated, 1” main bars so I recommend it. Or. The other link is 200lb, some are 150lb, I would just choose one on Amazon that’s 250lb limit with no lettering on fairing, and powder coated as opposed to black epoxy.

Smart to follow eBay’s advice too:
Note：When using in raining day , you'd better use black silicone sealant on every joint and screw as you assemble it and also over every opening of the welds,then you can spray the whole thing with a truck bed liner.
