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

Nope! Twas a blank sitting there. I've heard it was used for a Party Mode button but think that they got rid of it for the 2017 SR5s?

What exactly does 'party mode' do?

More power and base to tailgate speakers to give you more bias there when tailgate is open.
 
I have a desire and some free money to make my 4Runner better using special offers, in particular to improve the headlights. I bought BraveWay LED bulbs for this purpose. They are smaller than the average size LED bulbs, so they fit perfectly in our headlights. Much more light - but still not enough for me...
Installation is very simple - take out the halogen bulbs - which I also changed to a brighter bulb. Let me explain - in the lens no bulb does not blind! Headlights are adjusted.

You sound like a bot. Also, drop-in LED bulbs in halogen headlights suck. Full stop.
 
MoonRakerSCM, did you not have this button in that spot?:

They got rid of these with the facelift in 2014.
 
I added the OME 10mm trim spacer part number OME15PRO10 to the drivers side rear of my SR5 4runner today, I still had the drivers side lean after adding Bilstein 6112s up front at the 2" lift setting, even using the Bilstein recommendation of of preloading the drivers front more than the passenger front.
Super easy to install and now each rear is at 37 1/2", each front fender is just about 37 3/8" from the ground to the fender. Stock rear springs, 5100s in the rear.

Used this link for reference:

Took pics of bullet holes!

My 2010 T4R Limited sustained collateral damage during a drive by shooting while I was out having some Mac & Cheese and a cider while visiting my buddy who’s a bartender. Happened at a semi-fancy cocktail lounge too, so completely out of the blue. I got hurt too (two gun shot wounds to the left thigh) but as any car enthusiast would be, I’m more concerned for my rig hahaha. I’m hoping the recovery for my T4R is as speedy as my own! Just gotta find the right shop to take it to.

Two rounds and the femoral wasn't hit. Lucky should be your new username!

wtffffffff. A+ though for somehow avoiding serious injury given 2 thigh shots
 
Yep! 83290-35090 is the part number however you will need a custom harness made my Old Red (No longer on these forums due to an old moderator being a jerk) so you will have to find him on 4Runners.com. He may have one or two left not sure. He is not currently making them anymore as I believe a connector is NLA from Toyota. Also not compatible with all years and models of the 4Runner.

Nice! Do you happen to have the part #?
 
Installed my Accessory Meter Display. :wink2:

What exactly did you do that was different than what was there before? My 2018 ORP has that upper display screen already (range, temp, compass, time.) Do some not come with it?

Edit: I see most just came with a clock and this was 2014 Trail specific? I found your comments in that thread on 4runners.com. Wonder if the previous owner put it in mine with the other little stuff he put in.

Portland, Oregon. If you google search shootings in Portland on 4/30/22, you'll find a few articles talking about how crazy of a night it was for the police. There were 3 shootings that night. I was in the one on the "3200 block of SE Hawthorne".
 
Almost certain that the previous owner did that as only the 2014 Trail and Pro came with the blue LCD version of the display. 2010-2013 had the Amber version and anything 2015 and up has the basic clock. You will be able to tell by pulling out the instrument cluster. ;)

I will not be pulling the instrument cluster and will assume it's what I have, but I appreciate you sending me down the rabbit hole on a slow day at work! I had no clue that was "special." Thought it was just what these came with. So, I did some googling after your post and came across the threads with Old Red and the harnesses. So, I scoured it to see who signed up to buy one. Sure enough, I found a person in NJ with a 2018 TRD ORP that had bought one. Went down the rabbit hole some more and looked at his posts. Sure enough, I think I found the previous owner of my 4R and sent him a message. Everything seems to be lining up timeline wise, based on the info in his few posts he has, and the pics he posted of it with even the same dealership license plate frame. I sent him a PM, but it's gotta be him (I hope). I knew it had to be an enthusiast that had it as it had a bunch of stuff on it already (molle panels, black valences and badges, Pro grille, black roof rails, LED interior lights, glove box and center console organizers) and now this instrument cluster.

I'm a recruiter by profession and stalking is my game. Don't hate :)

It's a sought-after item for sure, as the displays are hard to come by (either buy new for $350 or scour over junkyard listings, which have all been picked clean by now). And then on top of that, you need the custom harness to make it work. And Old Red is likely done making them, owing to a dwindling supply of OEM connectors. It's a much better use of the dash space than the cheap analog clock they switched to.
