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

It's safety inspections specifically that are gone, a number of counties as you found still have emissions but hey, delegation of powers and all that. The statement says "needed" too which means there's room for counties. County rights am I right?

I know the whole safety inspection thing isn't perfect but the guy pushing the change had some whole statement about trusting Texans to keep their vehicles safe and all that. We're still being charged for it though since it was moved to registration I believe.

I suppose I don't have to worry about my technically improper front tint but I'm not too happy knowing plenty of folks give their car as much thought as their dishwasher.

On-topic, I'm figuring out how I want to route this rear diff breather relocate kit...

 

The place I took my 4Runner too had no issues at all with my tint. The manager actually complimented me on it "Dude, the dark tint with the retro stripe & bronze accents really sets it off. Tight ride, bro."

 

Just had my truck inspected in NC (no front windshield tint allowed), so going to add 70% and see what happens next year. They are supposed to test any tint applied outside the factory ($10 charge) but didn't charge me last year or this, so thinking they don't care about tint. Will see.

 

Same here with my safety last year (70% front), just not too big of a fan of having a technical violation hanging!

Diff breather relocation also completed. Routed it up behind the filler cap. (but not through it since it didn’t seem like it’d fit)

Bought an 8’ kit but chopped a lot of it off after seeing how much slack Toyota left in the brake lines.

 

Do you have a photo after you've wiped it off?

 

It's been some time, but I believe I chose the void behind the DS tail light, not the jack storage area. Worked fine for me.

 

I tried just now. Sorry for the bad lighting.

 

Wrapping up a roughly 4,000 mile road trip to visit family in NY (CO to NY and back) because we wanted to bring our dog. I’ve been super impressed with how great the 4runner is as a road trip vehicle (minus the mpg). I split the drive into two days of driving each way, roughly 16.5 hours the first and 7.5 the second day each way. The seats are very comfortable in my opinion and haven’t given me or my fiancée any issues. Just one more 7.5 hour drive until we are home!

 

Hello, I was wondering if someone could please give me some advice regarding a Toyota 4Runner.

 

16.5hours on the first day? Dang..!!! I keep 7 / 7.5hours max with rest with some water and little walk every 3 hours ish. What I learn if you keep at speed limit it gives very respectable mpg.

I love to do a trip to MD & NY just me and my dog. Family was a pain on last trip when it comes to food.

Back story-
Our last trip was mainly to Yellowstone. I had the worst food in my life inside Yellowstone park. I told my family going outside the park for food is a waste of time.
