5th Gen T4R Picture Gallery

Wow BFLAN, that is one awesome 5th gen 4Runner. After seeing the 5th gen lifted like this, I may retract my negative feeling towards the 5th gen 4R. Maybe I will end up with one despite its shortcomings.

Thanks!
 
Looks great BFLAN!

I see you detagged the SR5 emblem already. I did the same with my limited emblem.
There were a bunch of people gathered around it at the video store last weekend looking in the windows when I came out.
Funny thing is I already had 4 or 5 people comment on how nice my new Sequoia looks!!:wow2: I just told em thanks, that's it's the new 2011 design!:drummer:

I can't believe they put so few emblems on these new 5th's. Sure will make it easier to wax!

Yeah, that SR5 had to go. I was amazed I only had two emblems to remove!!! Fired up the heat gun and they peeled right off, got to love the cheap new emblems, no more body work to debadge!
 
What a difference wheels and tires makes. I love the look! Hopefully our TE will get there soon! Thanks for posting. What tires are you running? And what are you wheel specs? Any rubbing or mods with the lift?

Thanks. I am running Cooper Zeon LTZ's 275/60R50. I like them so far, have never had them before so I hope they hold up. I have had countless sets of Nitto TG's, thought I would try something else. Dont know the wheel specs, they are supposed to be a direct fit for a 09 4runner. I do rub under full lock and compression. Just a little, I need to trim the inner fender and will post something when I figure out the best way to do it.
 
What's the wheel lug, offset, and specs on the 2010 4runner for those of us who want to look for replacement wheels?

Sorry, I am not sure. These were direct replacements for a 2009. They seem to fit just fine. Wish I had more info.
 
Picked up T4R today

After three weeks I picked up from a dealer T4R 4WD today.
Try to figure out how to post pictures.
 
History repeats itself...one the 4th gen had a lift and new kicks folks said the same thing. :boink:

History is merely a list of surprises. It can only prepare us to be surprised yet again when the 6th Gen comes out!If there is one.........

I was much more suprised/horrified when I saw the first 4th Gen. way back in 2002.
 
Can't tell yet if I LUV it or HATE it

Here are a few pics of my 26 mile old Blizzard Pearl---thoughts/opinions?

:bravo:

Second pic really shows off the pearlescent paint :thumb3:

Just noticed the door molding. First I've seen of that. Interesting...

Great looking truck Tom did you get the tan or black interior? I have my dealer looking for a tan interior right now. What was your final price?
 
Molding is a Toyota dealer installed option. I also "splurged" for the Crystal Window treatment which makes a notable difference. I paid list price and it has the tan interior. My initial impressions after only 35 miles is that it feels like 1.5X the size of our 2006 4Runner---both taller and wider. To be honest, it may be too big for me. Send me a PM with any reasonable offer. It is in Greenwich, CT

i second that. i test drove an SR5 the other day and was blown away by how much BIGGER it feels than the 4G… good or bad.

so after 35 miles you're selling it? :wow2:

Damn, if you were closer (FL) I'd consider making you an offer.
 
2010 4Runner SR5 - First "real" road drive results

Finally took some outdoor pics after owning for two weeks. I hope I'm not breaking any rules by posting so many pics.

Took our first "real" drive on the road today. Put over 170 miles on I 79 near Pittsburgh, I 80, and a dirt road which got it muddy for the first time.

Pressed reset and gas mileage was 18.3 MPG at 80 MPH. I am averaging around 14 MPG in the suburbs. Took it up to 90 MPH for the first time today (still only 600 miles on it so I'm afraid to push it too much). Drive was awesome. Very solid and can't even tell when you are doing 90 MPH. Got on the highway to pass a slow vehicle entering and kicked down the pedal. Engine rev'd high and had great pickup (more than I expected). Also, I tested a pass of another vehicle while traveling 70 MPH and the boost was very nice. I heard some folks talk about highway passing with the V6 would not be sufficient, but was able to get "pushed" into the seat when I passed the other car.

Some interesting things I noticed. It was windy today and I could see the thin metal in the middle of the hood "flapping" in the wind. I thought the metal on my '03 Explorer was thin, but this is a lot thinner. Steering could be a little tighter when traveling at highway speeds. Brakes are very "touchy."

Overall, this vehicle is awesome. My only complaints are few as follows:

Miss the keypad entry on the door.
Don't like that there's no buzzer when you leave your lights on and get out of the vehicle. I heard someone on here say they turn off automatically even if you leave them on, but I let it sit for 1 1/2 minutes and the lights did not turn off.
When sitting in Aux mode, the windows do not wind down. Radio plays, but cannot roll down the windows. You either have to turn the car to the on position or start it to power the windows.
Would like to have LED brake lights - always wanted them and the only LEDs are on the mirror signals and third brake light.

If anyone has any questions, ask away. If you are considering buying one, I highly recommend it.

Here are the pics:
