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

GD man I am paying like $3.95 for a gallon of gas....i prefer your rate.

 

Still over $4 here

 

I already use a couple of floor cushions and a blanket for these two, so the plastic was ideal for my situation. Plus it gives me a bit of extra protection when I'm using the 4runner like a truck and transporting rougher items in the back.

 

Found a station near me this week in NC $3.12. Lowest I've seen in a long time.

 

Those are rookie numbers. got to bump those numbers like CA $4.59

 

No thank you. I'll leave Commiefornia to do their own thing.

 

Yeah it's really keeping the road tripping to a minimum.

 

I did not know that! Probably 90% of my fill-ups require 20.5 gallons.

$3.39 - Frederick, MD.

 

$2.84 yesterday

 

Got the Rago dash mount I purchased from another forum member recently and the anytime front/rear (also purchased from another member) installed today. Still need to play with camera positioning a bit but the hard work is done. The shift knobs, climate control knobs, and radio knobs were done a while back. And yes, if anyone sees it, I'm still running the tire pressure way too hot for these - plan to test the core removers this week to being them down to about 28-30

 

Added a Smittybuilt receiver hitch step to help with loading roof rack.

 

Oh I like that one much better than the WeatherTech one's i have seen. Got a link?

 

$60 Smittybilt Beaver Step (Black) - 27046B

It's on Amazon too. Got it little cheaper from 4WP free ship to store.

 

Your fuel pump hates you, too.

 

OK, boomer.

 

most modern fuel tanks have the pump sitting in a low spot on the bottom of the tank so that its always submerged until you are basically running on fumes. The need to fill up at a quarter of a tank to save your fuel pump from overheating are from much older vehicles and really no longer applicable.

Most soccer moms driving 4 runners are running them until the low fuel light comes on, if it was an issue we'd be seeing a lot more folks complaining/suffering fuel pump failures.

There's certainly nothing wrong with filling up at a quarter tank, but your fuel pump doesn't care one way or another.

 

Vancouver, BC: $2.00+ per liter, that's $7.57 per gallon (CAD)

 

I was just going to say. You Americans are posting bush league gas prices. Vancouver is the equivalent of like $5.85US a gallon. Step your game up America!

 

Got it for $2.67 in Horn Lake, MS on Saturday

 

This looks great! Huge improvement. Where did you buy those switches?

Washington is damn close to this.
We just recently won first place for the highest gas prices in the nation. It's asenine (2nd or 3rd highest gas tax in the nation as well. Heck, we might even be number 1 now).

All my personal rigs are diesel so I'm right there for price, gas is a bit "cheaper"

 

1/4 of the tank is overkill. Anything before the gas light turns on is fairly safe

 

Bought a couple coho pack-n-carry cases for recovery gear and camping equipment from Costco. After spending all day outside in the AZ heat, then brought inside and left overnight, they were sealed shut until I left them outside again. Decided to add some manual pressure release valves and problem solved.

Pretty decent setup for the price and Costco’s undisputed return policy.

 

Had a couple of the cheap Harbor Freight Apache cases I wasn’t using. So left them out to bake in the sun, used a vice clamp to press them out, and reinstalled them into the coho packs.

 

Alien gear holster and Field Craft Survival visor medical pouch set up.

 

Been looking for a dash mount like that for my Ram Attachments

 

Made these for a TRD 4Runners hood scoop. Fun little project.

 

I had looked at dash mounts a while back. Between this one, ICS, and Victory, I was leaning towards ICS but ultimately decided I didn't really need a dash mount considering the price. But, like so many of my other mods I don't really need, when I saw another forum member selling it for a heavy discount I just couldn't help myself. Thanks again @dgrenier15!

Today I used rattle can bedliner to repaint the front bumper. I bought it with PC from Victory 4x4 but powder doesn't stick well to aluminum and it began chipping quite badly within a month. Luckily Victory was nice and refunded the PC charge. It's been on for a couple of years and was looking quite shiny in a lot of spots.

I'm happy with how it turned out. I forgot to tape off the inside edges of the fairlead (i painted it too because it was a silvery color and I had just left it like that until now) and when I felt the texture of the paint I was afraid it would damage my synthetic cable. Luckily I had some 220 grit and I sanded the paint off before it hardened too much so it's smooth again.

 

Had new Michelin Defender LTX M/S stock size installed. I originally ordered 255 75 17 Firestone Destination AT2 and there was an oops at the tire shop and they had the Michelins in stock so thats what she's wearing now.
