    What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

    lol, I definitely dropped one into the abyss and thought I was screwed but eventually found it. I couldn't break the balljoint free to save my life and the pitman arm puller I got from Autozone was damaged but didn't realize it until I was home and then had to make the return trip. Also had...

    You and James over on the FB group helped me land on these tires. He talked me into the Nokian Outposts but Discount Tire couldn't get them in.

    You can save $200 on the tires right now if you order from Discount Tire Direct on eBay - https://www.ebay.com/str/discounttiredirect

    What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

    Painstakingly worked on my suspension this weekend, at least 7 hours and 3 trips to Autozone later I got my JBA UCAs on, Dobinsons 302/505 installed, and upgraded to 285s - Cooper AT3 XLTs. Had a BMC and some bumper trimming done earlier in the week in preparation for the new tires, alignment...

    Lifespan of 5100s and resale value?

    Thanks, man, you may have convinced me just to keep them and save a couple of hundred extra bucks that I could put elsewhere.

    Lifespan of 5100s and resale value?

    Thank you. The guy I’d sell them to is local and I’d really be looking at just taking the bite off my new purchase so $300ish or so for the front, rears, and a spacer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Lifespan of 5100s and resale value?

    Right? Obviously will be dependent on driving style and off-road use but I don't think I'll have any qualms about flipping them to someone else now.

    Lifespan of 5100s and resale value?

    Hey guys, I'm about to upgrade my suspension to Dobinson's and thinking of going with their shocks as well. Having said that, my 5100's are 3 years old and have 23k miles (mostly street and some FS roads) on them. What kind of lifespan have you guys gotten from yours and is there much resale...

    I've been pretty happy so far. I was running XD LED bulbs in the stock housing before which was an upgrade over stock but still didn't provide great lighting. This is a night and day difference.

    Been awhile since I’ve logged on and had time to mess with my rig, yay kids. Recently added SCS Gen5’s in gloss bronze, was really looking for another option than black rims on my silver paint Also just installed GTR Carbide headlights. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Fitment Concerns with Stock and Lifted Setup for 17x8.5 (-10mm) vs 17.9 (-38mm)

    I just put SCS Gen 5's (17x8.5 -10) with stock tire size on my rig and I have 1.25" lift in the front and the only place I rubbed, at full lock, was the bottom corner of the bumper. I followed this guide 5th Gen 4Runner Bumper Wheel Well Trimming and Cutting - Step by Step and my problem was...

    Using those "gun boxes" for roof storage?

    I went this same route and have it mounted on my LFD bars. I can hear a little wind noise at highway speeds but not enough for me to be bothered. The only thing I noticeably hear is my padlocks bouncing around if I'm offroad.

    I JUST missed Apple Carplay...

    Yep, I've had the GAIA GPS app running on my 2020, it was a little clunky to get set up and working but ultimately it worked.

    Raptor lights on a 2020 Non TRD Pro Grille

    I never went back to modify them to work on the upper grille and put it low on my priority list. There's another thread, Raptor Lights 2020 4Runner, where some guys got them to work though and they have a few pics up on the last page.
