KCMO - '06 SR5 - Build Thread

[overlandout]

Moved from new owners forum to here.

But this seems like a good place to get started, plan out next steps, and keep track of what in doing.

I live in KCMO. Just got my 2007 V8 SR5.

Purchased with 148,500 miles.

Building out the little things right now. Budget is tight for a while.

Looking for dash cams and backup cams

Would like to run the backup cam through a JVC KW-V230BT

Changed out spark plugs over the weekend. Looks like the previous ones were relatively new.

Also replaced a few neo3 backlights in the hvac controls. More lights to come.

Need to replace info screen backlights as well as some SMD lights in the dash.

Also nearly finished installing my backup camera. Lots of obnoxious panels removed to route the wires.

Sounds more good plans ahead for that rig! Enjoy

Last weekend I had a hell of a time doing a brake upgrade.

Bought the Power Stop Z23 kit for 5th Gen.

Lessons learned:
Always use anti seize on your hub/rotor/wheel
Always clean the hub to get rid of rust before putting on new rotors
Be careful with the parking brake when removing rear rotors
Definitely don't use 5th gen rear rotors (The "hub hole" is 2mm too large and will cause them to sit off center.

Also, saw that I had a torn boot on the power steering. Ordered new ones and will install tonight.

Going to need to chill out on upgrades for a while. Taxes, brakes, and tires soon have really set me back.

Welcome! Nice rig! Always love seeing the silver 4runners.

I'm doing my brake pads + rotors in weekend but it's just a straight replace, hoping I don't run into this much trouble.

Nice!

Nice 4th gen. I would love a v8 myself.

How did it go? Did you use 4th gen rear rotors?

Did a little bit this past week. Installed RAM phone mount. Replaced almost all the HVAV LEDs.
Installed the overland equipped fuse block mount with blue sea fuse block. I have a circuit breaker for the hole on its way.

Got the right circuit breaker in there.

I'm at about 160k miles.

Just did a power steering flush. Definitely notice a difference.

Also just got my sprint booster. It does make it more fun to drive, but i suspect it's less comfortable for passengers. At least when accelerating from a stop.

Vvivid air tint just arrived. Light smoke for headlights and taillights. Yellow for fogs. Still waiting on halo LEDs before i blackout the headlights and put tint on.
