A10MileHusker's 5th Gen Build Thread - Page 6 - Toyota 4Runner Forum

After my woes in my 4th gen when mine when out I did the secondary air pump mod. 5 minutes and looks good for a cheap peace of mind.

I finally did my Dual Battery setup after a long time of putting it off. I did a very simple setup based off of @evldave on expeditionportal.com. I followed the following diagram:

I used an Optima D35 battery for the Auxiliary battery.

However, instead of just a regular isolator I opted for a Blue Sea 7610 that way there aren't any idiot switches being used that could be left on. This way it will simply charge and then if anything should happen it will cut off, leaving the main battery able to start.

So here are the items I used/purchased:

Off Grid 4x4 Battery Tray
Blue Sea 7610
Blue Sea ANL Fuse Block #5006
ANL 150 Amp Fuses
~10' of Red and Black 4AWG Wire
Connectors

I ended up returning the precut wire pictured. It was simple to just make my own small sections which I was originally worried about.

To connect the lugs to the ends of cut wire simply grab a dull chisel (or like thereof) and hammer the ends to crimp, the connection is fine.

While other write ups said it isn't necessary to use two fuses, I did to be on the safe side.

I also ran my Isolator into the dash so it starts up with ignition and grounded to where the main battery is grounded.

Here is my final setup

Finished in about 2.5 hours and right when the rain started.

Overall I'm happy with the outcome, glad it worked out and dont think I'm going to change anything major with this setup.

Installed my King 2.5 Coilovers with Adjusters. Install was straight forward and actually easy. It added the perfect amount of lift to get it nice and level. Very happy with the turnout.

Well this looks awesome and know I want to add a little more lift to mine after seeing this picture.

Installed my Hidden Winch Mount finally.

The Mount is made by Pelfreybilt. I purchased this months and months ago before anything had happened to the company.

For the Winch I went with a Smittybilt X20 10k lb Wireless Winch. It isn't a warn but I ran Smittybilt on my 05 with no issues at all. Great winch for a fraction of the price.

Both fairlead and hook are Factor 55.

Overall I love it! Great winch and will be a nice ease to my mind when we are out in the snow.

Looking good.
What are you post lift measurements from center hub to fender lip?

I'll post that up once I get around to doing that.

Haven't done much to the rig lately. Saving up for a wedding and honeymoon is taking all of my money.

I received a couple amazon gift cards and so with that I purchased the Genuine Suburu H631SFJ101 Tweeter Kit.

Great improvement over the stock and its plug and play. Took all of 15 minutes to install.

How are you liking the LED lights, I am looking at a few led headlights on amazon but it seems that pics are really rare when people do this mod.

Do you get any rear-end sag when loaded? That's my only concern with a 'leveling' lift - it looks perfect unloaded, but if you're hauling heavy you could be dragging a bit.

Yes, 100% I plan on adding heavier springs in the rear to help with that. I notice it even putting my bike rack on (hitch mounted rack) and it sags with the weight of a mountain bike.

Still love them. I have had both HID and LED and you will get more output from HID but I am really liking the instant on and output of the LEDs.

No more updates. I'm sad now.

I'll have some updates soon but nothing big. At a bit of a standstill for a couple of reasons. My now Wife and I paid for our wedding and so I had been saving for that and now we are saving up for a house.

So the build has been slightly suspended but will resume.

Totally understand. It's the important things in life that matter the most.
