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

Not today but ran the T-33 Crash Site trail over the weekend. The Toyo Open Country RT Trails did an amazing job. Put my Dissent Rear Bumper to work.

 

I would rather not drink beer instead of Coors Light!

 

Heading to the mountains and here’s my solution to fitting the fishing poles to be somewhat out of the way. Installed the Blue Ridge Overland Attic. Seems pretty decent for the trip. Not sure if there’s a more practical way for carrying the poles.

 

To be fair, 10k oil change is only if your truck stays on pavement.

and there are other things to do at 5k, such as tire rotation. Best part, you can do it yourself so stealerships don't get any of the money

 

Looks like that plane was shot down!

 

Just a heads up

 

I do that, but with surfboards

 

Veered off course in 1965 in a thunderstorm and went into the side of the mountain.

 

used 4r to pickup my 4yr old from karate for the first time, straight from work.

 

Got a plug and patch for a small puncture. I was losing about 10psi a month. The TPMS light would come on randomly. Ended up being a small nail on the middle groove.Actually, I think the pucnture should not have any effect on the life of the tire given its location.
DT does not charge for patch up. Road force balance read out at 14.

 

Luckily mine is still under warranty

 

Enjoy every moment you have with your son. Time goes by fast! My son is now 32 years old...still in my mind as my 4 year old.

 

Ain’t that the truth, thank-you. I’m already feeling the time fly man, and wishing I could have a 3rd

 

You mean ToyotaCare rather than warranty?
They only cover the oil change every 10k (you have to pay extra if you want it done at every 5k). Regardless, I would recommend you stay away from the dealership for an oil change unless you want striped bolts, loose filters, etc...

 

I've got a good Service Writer that I have established a working relationship with for over 10 years. I paid out of pocket for the 1,000 mile oil change.

 

Enjoy every moment of every day. My son has 3 already and he's feeling it.

 

You're lucky then. I've seen so many incompetent people at dealerships. Often times the good ones are working on more complex issues.
I do my own oil change now but back when I was not able to do so I had an excellent mechanic (he had his own shop) that I trusted. Unfortunately I don't live anywhere near him now.

 

It’s the morons in the back that are doing the easy oil and brake jobs that are the problem.

 

You are the forum hero for these! Got mine today.
I'm not sure how the product can me made and shipped to my house for less than $2.00 but it definitely shows you the profit margin in the other products on the market.

still available as of this post: https://www.ebay.com/itm/197469917048









I'll find an inexpensive light solution I'm sure:

and then to wiring, perhaps up to this:

$147 CO LIGHT 12 Gang Wireless Switch Panel Remote Control Range up to 165FT 5-Level Brightness Multifunction Built in Solid State Relay Switch Panel for Off-Road Truck SUV UTV RV

Someone should do a test on these to see if they break easily.
Being that they are sooooo cheap!!

Wouldn’t you hate it is you hit a couple of bumps and SNAP…. There goes the light and bracket dangling and scratching your hood and fender.

 

Got a set of Yokohama Geolander A/T4 installed the other day for super cheap! It is nice having a wife that works a the dealership!

How do you like the initial ride? Thinking about getting a set of these soon.

 

I notice nothing different in the ride, I notice a little it more road noise. I am very happy. I have had Yokohamas on my previous 2000 4Runner and both my 2005 and 2011 Tundras.

Dont put that hero on me yet, these may be complete junk LOL. Ive been on forums long enough to know how sharing links and possible deal are always gtg.

still waiting on mine.. ha

 

Yeah that’d definitely suck and man would i be in trouble with the wifey lol.

ill do a little bit of abuse to them.

 

Were you coming from the stock tires or some other A/T?

 

Congrats on your grandkids, you’re right, and I really do soak in every second. Life is so good guys.
*stormy day sunset deadass look like my house was on fire yesterday?

 

6 pack of coor light + a can of zyns = good living

 

hah
last time I drank Canadian Coors it didn’t do it for me as much as I remembered. and then I remembered it’s American Coors that I enjoyed
