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

Installed TRD intake. Didn't get on it yet, but can already hear the difference, and looks a lot cleaner/better. Happy with it.

Directly to the upper bumper support bar. The mounts that come with the bar put it at the perfect height. I barely had to Dremel the backside of the grill and if I did it again, I'd drill the mounting holes further back about .25" so I wouldn't have to. Sorry the mount pic is upside down.

That's exactly my setup

The only problem I noticed is it is impossible to wash it without removing it (no access). This is how the light bar look like after one year of using it (not even off-roading, just one winter)

Picked up my compressor and accessories from 4 Wheel Parts! Got the order in just in time for the 10% off ARB promo (just checked it's expired)!

Got my first oil change, 5k miles. Tires rotated and installed some morimoto hid projectors. I'm happy with the results.


This looks really good! Did you have to do any cutting/trimming behind the headlights to make the projectors fit? I put in Lexus HID projectors a while back because the bulbs go in sideways like our stock ones, so no cutting. I'm thinking about upgrading my projectors though for some better light output.

I was thinking about getting the TRD intake but sellers advertising on ebay and amazon say it doesn't fit 2017's. Anyone know where to get one for the 17's. Does it add more horsepower?

With only two 14mm bolts, I can have it off and out in 2 minutes or so. If it gets super dirty, I'll just utilize the quick disconnects and pull it to give it a wash.

The part number for the one I used is PTR03-89100. The 2017 4Runner wasn't one of the years listed that it would fit, but it fit and works fine. Only thing that I came across was one of the 12MM bolts that are used to mount the bottom of the filter box to the car was too long. I only used 2 out of the three to hold the box down, seems secure enough, but I'll probably add a spacer on that 3rd bolt just to have it there

1) Any 2010+ TRD intake kit will fit

2) Browse this thread: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/85960-how-guide-trd-cai-installation.html You'll learn it's way cheaper to piece-mill the intake than buy the kit (like $400+ vs $225-285 if you get a TRD filter).

Add more horsepower: Doubt it.

Sound cool: Yes.

Do again: Yep.
 
A few new toys

Got my Off-Grid Engineering dual battery system kit today. Will be pairing it with two Northstar Group 35 batteries. Hopefully will be done in the next few days.

Also bought two Swiss-Link Aluminum storage cases which are Alu-box or Zarges knockoffs. They are made of 1mm thick aluminum. Are they as strong as Alu-box or a Zarges case? No but they're also about $100 cheaper at $140 shipped. I think for their intended purpose they'll do fine and time will tell whether or not I should have just got the Alu-box. They do stack on top of each other and there are a few different sizes to choose from. Unfortunately only similar size ones fit on top of each other. I ended up getting the small case which is 23" x 15" x 9". They're not exactly cheap but they are cheaper and I still saved about $250 (I'd get tax for the Alu-box since Equipt is in Utah) which I'm happy about that.

Boarded up the house with our hurricane shutters and got out of town in our Irma Evacuation vehicle as we are in the bullseye. Plan is to ride out the storm with family in Maryland.

Got the Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws on tonight, like them so far. Looking forward to testing them out this weekend.

Now I have 4 Nitto Terra Grapplers in 265/70/17 for sale in the Fort Collins, CO area if anyone is interested. Will put up in the classifieds tonight.

I'm also selling my 2 week old Hefty Fabworks sliders. They're on the primary family vehicle and the wife doesn't like them [emoji53]. They're posted in the classifieds already.

I'll have them for the return trip. Gas Buddy app is a lifesaver as we were able to find gas stations still with gas and didn't wait more than 5 minutes at each. We are in Jacksonville now with enough gas to get to South Carolina. Should be good to go from there.
 
Installed Rotopax 2 gallon water to my Gobi ladder and mounted Hi Lift jack to Prinsu rack - I now have no room left on rack except left side.

Also 1st functional test of CVT tent on roof and had to throw in my bag/blankets. Pretty quality tent, finally putting her to use this weekend!
