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

Thx. It’s all original since it’s basically brand new, as I would just go to dealer and ask for warranty work at this stage. I’ll take a look at video.

 

As part of my adding in a Switch-Pro 9100, thought I’d get the SDHQ battery terminals. Build quality is excellent (should be at this price point), but for f-ck sakes … isn’t the greatest fit for reusing existing cable hookups. The height of these is just too tight for my 2022. If I understood this I wouldn’t have bothered with it. My fault for not understanding the application, but I’m sure many folks don’t look into it at that level. They should be clearer of compatibility issues. Hopes this helps others for awareness.

 

Pulled the trigger on a set of 255/80-17 Wildpeak A/T3W’s.
Ordered for install on Monday, pics to come.

 

Great size choice! Falken is coming out with the new Wildpeak RT tire in that size supposedly this month. I am debating between that and the Toyo OC MT's, but my next tire will definitely be a 255/80R17.

 

why not 285/70/17, just curious.

 

I've always liked tall skinnies. My favorite tires by far have been my 255/85R16 BFG KM2's on my Tacos. And don't people often have to do a BMC with the 285/70R17's? That's one modification I'm not willing to do. I'm fine with trimming the wheel wells or removing mud flaps, but not the BMC.

 

I see. I didn’t have to do a BMC on mine with the 285s and I only have a 2 inch lift in the front one and a half in the back.

I also think your size in my size equates to 33 inches tall

 

I have a 2" lift front and rear, but it's my understanding that lifts (unless you go higher than 3") don't have any effect on what will rub and what won't. You're right that 255/80R17's are usually about a 33.3" tire, but thinner tires do better about not rubbing than wider ones.

 

i dont have any issues with rub.

 

That’s what she said

 

Michael Scott quote for the win.

 

I too have no issues with body mount rub running 285's. You can even push them to about a -10 offset if you have a 7.0" or 7.5" wheel width and your caster adjusted to around +3.5 degrees or above. *Fender liner mod is required.

Besides, 285's are already "skinnies" in my book.

 

33x10.50r17 Kenda Klever RTs mounted today. Initial impressions are they ride very well for an E load and are pretty quiet. No issues with rubbing.

 

In the past week and a half, I’ve installed a Pedal Commander, Seat Risers, and Suomi Springs front and rear. It feels like a totally different vehicle now. I really like it.

 

I have those same battery terminals. I will have to look how I have mine setup. I don’t recall any issues on install but things were tight. I will say I did have 1 issue on a trail. Found the terminal connectors were not tight enough. These things you can crank on with a small socket set (don’t go crazy as the bolts will sheer)

 

Good to consider. I know they have torque settings, but my torque wrench didn’t click on negative side so resorted to sticking with feel. With the wires pulling down from tension, I’ll back off the bolts on the posts.

 

Great tire size

 

Today was nothin overly special but a little love nonetheless …

1) Oil and filter change
2) New AEM dry flow filter
3) New Cabin filter
4) vacuumed out the inside
5) Removed the seat jackers. Did not care for those. Gave ‘em a fair shake of time and ultimately wasn’t for me.

 

Installed these new courtesy lights today. Super easy install, and are way brighter than expected.

 

I want them!!! Where did you get those lenses?

 

Be very careful with these questionable Chinese projection lights. There have been numerous cases of these being shorted out internally, and since the 12 volts supplied to them is not fused (it’s supplied by the Main Body ECU), you wind up destroying the MB ECU. $$$ to replace it.
So if you really want them check the resistance of the LED device with a multimeter to make sure it’s not a dead short before installing.

See this thread for some background.

I’m going to have so much power now!



They weren’t that expensive so why not. Also picked up a rear wiper arm because I’m a dummy and broke it. I’m a dummy again because I ordered the wrong USB charge port but I’ll use it up front and ordered the right one for the rear.



Lastly ordered the footwell lights from a Limited because I bought the harness from Old Red.

 

ELECTROBOY saves the day!!!

Late for the party but just got the Nextbase 522 dash cam hardwired into my cat.

 

Not as cool as most of these. But I love it! Ellis

 

Wife got them for Christmas. Tested them with a boat battery I have in the garage for winter. Like Electroboy said, be sure to test them before installing.

 

Are these E load? Thought they had these coming out in c?

 

Wove some Paracord stuff for the 4R. I don't carry other keys very often so this way I can snap on a key ring as needed but otherwise I have a nice slim daily carry for the key / fob... And I never liked that welfare vinyl hatch pull....
