RedRunner's 2016 SR5 Build and Adventure Thread

[RedRunner_87]

What app are you running to get the information on your runner and how did you do that?!

I use the app called Fuelly. You enter you fill up information and it logs your gas milage. I have been using this app for years and it is great. I found if I go under 75-80 the 4Runner does pretty decent with gas mileage. Above 75 my gas milage is complete crap.

How hard was this to?

It wasn't too hard with a trim removal tool. The hardest part is getting the Inverter wire up to that spot. There is just enough slack to get it there, not any extra. But other than that super easy.

Quick update: 6383 miles on the 255/80 Wildpeaks and just got done with the second tire rotation(first one was to get the tires on the same schedule as the maintenance light). Tread Depth is 15/32 with some off-roading.

High Angle Cut:

Step 1) I used painters tape and followed the body lines on the bumper:

Step 2) I used an angle grinder and went to work:

Time to wash all the mud off and shine her up.

Products Used:

How we started:
Untitled by redrunner87, on Flickr

Step 1: Touchless Car Wash since I can't wash my 4Runner where I live. Came out OK, but you can see all the residue left behind.

Step 2: Wash Wax All. Rear Fender has been wiped down with Wash Wax all and the Rear Door has not.

Step 3: Turtle Wax ICE

Started the reflective window covers for blacking out the interior when I camp. This was a little bit harder than I thought. 10ft roll only got 3 windows done.

Messed this window up a little bit:

...but because I am stubborn I was able to salvage it. I think I can get it totally fixed tomorrow:

what's the function of the foil in the rear window?

 

[RedRunner_87]

what's the function of the foil in the rear window?

It serves two functions 1) It will black out the interior when I camping in the back of it and 2) it will insulate it which will help keep the temperature more even when camping.

I am a little late with these, this was a couple weeks ago. We went out and explored in the mountains outside of Colorado Springs.

We tested the first off-shoot off of the main Trail and we didn't make it too far!

Doing a little bit of digging!

Now it was time to turn around a narrow trail in the snow. Had to bust out the boards again for the Disco:

So this section is super off-camber and he took a bad line. Backed up and ended up burying his bumper into the hill:

Ended up hitting my tire on that rock:

Flexing her out. Was really off-camber and with the snow it kept dragging me down the hill

Made it up to the over look:
