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

The Overlanding "upgrades" continue. I now have a little shade and shelter from the elements during my western adventures. The Overland Expo is this weekend and I just might have to try out my new ARB set up.

:lookout:

If you head to flagstaff for Expo look for me!

Doing the last of my packing for overland expo tonight.
 
Towed a Honda and got out on the track this weekend. I have a problem, too many red vehicles.

Nice! I got the same problem except my bike and runner are white lol
 
Yes indeed!

Dang, I hate I missed it. I don't have a FB account (work privacy reasons) but my wife's a member of that group. I didn't notice the ride until too late since I'm not on her FB much.

I need to get out with some other guys with close to stock rigs in the area.

I have been asked how I secured the ARB 2000 awning to my Thule rack on my 4 Runner so I have added some more pics. I drilled 1/4 holes before and after the bracket and used 2 washers as spacers and then 1/4 by 2 through bolts to secure the ARB Universal brackets. The awning and the Thule rack are rock solid and it does not move even with significant lateral forces applied.

Gutted the interior, sanded down and rolled in the bedliner. Don't want it to rot from the inside out. Gotta love these trucks, everything's super easy to remove and re-install.

I wasn't aware that 4runners had an issue with rotting from the inside out. Never had a vehicle with that issue, even after years and years of ownership.

Yes indeed!

Would you happen to have a map/area/direction of where those trails are? I'm in SC (through internet searches, just moved here and not too familiar yet) Was hoping to find some trails for Memorial day where I could also find somewhere off the beaten path to camp.
 
I too, made a Satoshi/TRD Pro mesh for my 4runner today, because I wasn't going to shell out $150+ for a piece of plastic.

I also made my own windshield washer reservoir relocation kit of sorts, because I wasn't going to shell out $150+ for a piece of plastic for that either.

Last two pics are from last week that I didn't post here, but I posted on Facebook on the 5th Gen 4runner Familia page. My friend and I made a Knight Rider scanner for the hood scoop.

Cool mods. Did you find an LED strip that fit the scoop opening or did you fabricate the strip yourself?
 
WHAAA?! :lalala: More details please!


At 22500 miles, it's been making a pulsing/grinding sound when stopping. I felt like it was a brake issue. They turned my rotors at 20k but the noise was getting worse, so I took it back. They called later and said they'd determined it was a diff issue. Fluid in the rear end was gray from shavings.

Not sure how it happened. I haven't really done any wheeling, and it's never been submerged. Fortunately it's under warranty.

In the rear diff? Definitely sounds like Toyota warranty claim if I have ever heard one. Please let us know how it goes.
