RedRunner's 2016 SR5 Build and Adventure Thread

[RedRunner_87]

Got the 4Runner its first wash/wax of the summer season. During that process I noticed(from what I think was the windshield replacement) the driver-side cowling missing...ugh

Mt. Baldy, CO. Went out with a local Tacoma group. This was first trip with the 4Runner. She did pretty well considering I have shitty street tires on her. Used ATRAC once on a super flex part, that I took a bad line on.

Actually should update that to 255/80's. I like the 255's because they are better in snow(Live in Colorado) plus they are lighter than 275' and 285's. Hopefully with less resistance it will maintain some gas mileage

 

[RedRunner_87]

Got the LED Fogs installed. I have the LED Turn signals(Switch Backs), just need to get the Headlights and High Beams/DRL's. Hoping I can do the PRO grill soon.

Finally after having it for almost a year and half, I have installed the OG Trail Standard Offroad Faux TRD Pro grill. Haven't wired up the lights, because my dummy head ordered full size fuse taps and not the mine. Hopefully I can get that done this week.

All Stock SR5

Tapped off the headlights and bumper to protect the paint

Cleaned the stock grill with dish soap so hopefully the TSO Grill will adhere better and its on!

Finally got the "Raptor" Lights wired up. I did it a little differently and didn't tap the fuse by the Riverside kick panel, I tapped the fuse in the engine compartment.

I tapped the "INJ" fuse which is in between the 7.5 and 10 amp fuses

I then unbolted this bolt and ran the wire through it and re-did the bolt.

I ran the negative wire to the factory negative cable bolt. Now we have lights

Got half of the switchbacks done. When I installed the rear LED turn signals, they didn't hyper-flash so I never installed resistors. Apparently with the front LED's installed I needed to put resistors front and rear. So it took longer than I thought it would, so only got it half done today.

This will be the last mod for awhile. Finally finished up the switchbacks, so now it is off to saving up for tires. Hoping for 255/80 Falken Wildpeaks AT3W

First Blackstone Oil Analysis has been done. The oil used was Amsoil O.E. OW-20 @ 10,995 miles. I did an Amsoil Engine Flush right before this oil change. Here are the results:

The last parts to finish up Phase 1 of the build. I decided to try Rust-oleum Peel Coat in Graphite instead of Plasti-dip. I guess we will see how it compares. LED Headlights and LED DRL/Highs as well.

Got the OBD Fusion app up and running. I did the user installed PID's for the Transmission and Torque Converter.

255/80 Falken WildPeak AT3W's have been installed. Here are some comparison pictures vs stock size. I am running stock suspension and I do rub a little at full lock and going over bumps.
