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

nice work, that’s a lot, compared to my skills and speeds.
can I ask what’s the standard method I should use to measure our down travel? (obviously lift the truck up)

 

Yea ill just jack it up, Im only curious because i lifted it almost 3"/1.75" on trd fox shocks(well only 2" in the front, trd pros are like a inch taller)

 

Installed black sequential turn signals from 4Runner lifestyle

 

Lovin those husky mats/....^^^

 

Understood, thanks bud.
Hub to fender measurement would be it then eh

 

You could measure anywhere on wheel/tire). As much as it drops its close to your down travel. Its just hard to measure uptravel in the front since the springs are 600lb(ish)

 

Thanks for posting. I always thought the mirror and turn signals were a one piece unit. I bashed the turn passenger signal when I backed into a tree. The sun was in the mirror and blinded me. Gonna order these.

 

No problem. It’s a pretty easy swap. Took about 15 minutes to do both. Just keep in mind you’re still going to be left with this broken trim piece

 

Yeah, I figured that. It will still be better than it is now.

 

Added a Rugged4X4Designs cup holder.

I got to get some pictures.. but somehow I snapped off a passenger side mud flap this weekend doing this trail:

(Starting at the Cleator end)

And it's not like the whole mud flap tore off, no it snapped basically at the metal body - oddest thing.
I guess it's time for some ARK deletes. https://arksplashguards.com/collect...2024-toyota-4runner-standard-mud-flap-deletes

 

Transmission drain and fill. Replaced the filter too.

 

Typical driveway pic after a wash

 

How’d the filter look ?

 

It looked good, just a little dirty nothing out of the ordinary. Probably didn’t need to replace but I did it because it was opened up.

 

Well done!

 

pardon my newb question, but does the transmission drain typically require the belly to be opened up, or were you doing it anyway to get to the filter inside?

 

No worries, usually you can just drain and fill the trans without opening it up. I just did it because I was curious what the filter looked like.

Here’s a video that explains it better then I can. Hope that helps.

On way home from Dr.Appt. Now @10,005 in garage. Monday took Vaca day. Going to friends garage to do Oil,Filter R&R, Tire rotate replaced lock lug nuts, Grease "
U" Joints & Skid Mod.

 

In the rust belt it's better to not take the pan off as the bolts can snap.

 

Built some drawers(still need some finishing touches).

 

I thought mine was low mileage, but I'm going to catch you. Currently at 8400 and have a 2500 roundtrip roadtrip planned in mid-October
