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

I respectfully disagree about 285s rubbing. I have a 3” front and 2” rear lift with 285/70/17 on TRD Pro wheels with ZERO rub. The difference is that I replaced the UCAs. No bumper cut. No body mount chop. No rubbing.

 

Used the same ones, couldn't be any easier of sn install

 

I have the matt finish pro wheels and they came with chrome, ordered a set the day I bought the truck, almost a month and they called, went to get them and they were some Chinese knockoff. Parts man even confirmed and credited my card back.

 

Every truck is different

 

This guy is a never ending supply of knowledge

 

Stopped by Homeless Depot and snagged a piece of the gutter guard. It does take some work to flatten it out. I used my vise to help, then beat it on the floor. I used a towel on the floor and covered it to protect the finish. Probably spent 2-3 hours on it. Pretty happy overall. I moved the badge to the upper grill. Didn't want to have to drill out the new screen to get the bolts to pass thru. Cheap mod for less than 4 bucks...

I don't think I will try to add the mesh up top. It would be to much to do and try and leave the lights, which I like.

 

Looks good. I just picked up the mesh from HD yesterday. If I get time, I'm going to try and get it installed today.

 

This guy provides a lot of useful information. Thank you. Side note: I have his shift knobs. They are awesome. No rattle and feel great.

Interesting to hear everyone’s preference and experience. I actually prefer 255/80 on OEM TRD wheels over 285/275/265 (look and functionality).

 

Nice! I also have a 2013 Trail and have been bouncing between head unit ideas. Which Carplay screen, cup holder, and adapter did you use?

 

yes we know that. My set up is just an example of what i did to fit 285s which was not much.

 

agreed

 

TRD Pro running boards, mudguards, ORP wheels, Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 265/70/17, Sherpa Needle

 

One of the few Sherpa needle racks Ive seen in the wild. Mostly stock photos online. Looks nice, anymore pictures?

 

I had one more from a different angle.

 

Any wind noise?

 

I've only been on one highway drive (up to 80mph) and didn't notice any additional noise. My passenger didn't either. I'm more concerned that I didn't install it right and it's going to leak. It got a hand wash just before these pictures were taken and I didn't notice any water spots on the head liner(yet), so that's good news.

 

Ive heard good things about the Sherpa sealing system so hopefully you're good! I'm just concerned about wind noise. I'd be pretty bummed if I spend the money on a rack and have a whistle.

 

Every other tint I post I see makes me wanna go darker... lmao ughh I want that darkness!!! What percent did you go with?

 

checks what your state allows, make sure you don’t go past that.

 

Let me introduce you to DARK tint.

 

Rotated tires, check fluids, torqued propeller shaft bolts, and did all the suspension, brake, and exhaust inspections. 15k service complete!

This was my first oil change after installing Valvomax. It was far more convenient and less messy than with the standard plug. Also, Badlands floor lift shaved loads of time and effort off the tire rotation. I need to remember that the best way to get tires back on is laying down, using two hands to push and a thigh to lift and turn.

 

If it's the black stuff from depot, the paint may chip. I had to respray mine with some epoxy and it's been holding up for over 4 years now.

 

Put some ppf on the upper grille for when my bug deflector shows up. Also put two strips on the bottom edge of the tailgate where I normally grab it

 

Well…. I “started” my BMC…. Welder took a dump and now I have 1 cut out and can’t start welding till next weekend!!!!

 

Can you see out of the vehicle?

 

Dude, did you tint your FRONT window?!?!?!?

 

Took her out for a rip.

This Is the saddest of mods but it is legit when the wife and kid don't help you unload the skis... I made fun of a friend that bought it then my wife got it and I use it haha.


Forgot it was on there and drove home 95 miles and stuck in there like a champ!

Note: it is magnetic and it actually works haha!

 

You get outta here with that logic!!
