I've been doing some searching online about tinting the sunroof on a 5th gen. I'm looking at getting it ceramic tinted to cut back on the heat when it's closed or vented. I've read many people saying they have tinted theirs and haven't had issues but have also seen quite a few comments about...

It looks amazing! Great job.

I'm starting this thread for pics since I really haven't done anything worthy of the build thread to my 4runner but I do take pics of it. Blending in with the luxury SUVs. <img src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4917/39755656153_5a19b9dc2a_b.jpg" width="1024" height="768" alt="4runner_night">...

Sorry it took so long for me to reply. The ones in the picture are dedicated snow tires. In the summer I'm running Hankook Dynapro ATM tires. Nice and quite on the road and... I haven't had any off-road time with them yet. Two summers on these so far and very happy with them. <img...

If there was a way to send it to you, I'd do it but it would probably melt on the way! :D

Nothing exciting, replaced a license plate light bulb and a front marker light bulb. Oh and put gas in it.

The name for my 4runner kind of came from my Mustang. The Mustang had been my 12-month daily driver from new until January when I bought the 4runner. I've been calling my Mustang Frozn Pony. Currently I'm calling the 4R Frozn Runner. Not sure if it will stick but needed a good name for the...

I've tried the wave but never any reaction in return. The most attention my 4runner has had was from the driver of an Xterra stopped next to me at a red light.

I've done a search but couldn't find any help. Is there an admin I can contact to get the name of this thread changed? I just noticed the typo in "build" in the thread title. Frozn is correct though. Thanks.

Since it only came with winter tires on the factory wheels I've been looking for something for summer. I decided on 17" Center Line RT2 wheels with 265/70R17 Hankook Dynapro ATM tires. Because of the tire size I really had to add a bit of lift so got the Daystar 2.5/1.5 leveling kit. I'm hoping...

The only rust issues are the tailgate and the top of the rocker panel under the plastic trim at the driver's door. The underside is in great shape.

Figured I'd start a build thread for my 4runner. Nothing major for a while but still starting to make it my own. Work will be starting soon so I thought for now I'd post the baseline. It is a 2007 SR5 4WD V6. <img src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4189/34170928712_4ac61c0e1a_c.jpg" width="800"...

Hi from the other end of the province. Just found this thread. You've got a few nice vehicles, can't remember the last time I saw an MR2. The 4runner is looking great so far. Interesting to see a discussion about rust-proofing on here :canada:

My first water crossing... well, maybe not quite

NinjaOne, yes. Halfway through the exposure I walked up and turned on the parking lights. Just spent too much time in one place.
