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

Cutting a perfect square hole in the rear crossmember through weld points to fit my high clearance hitch receiver by MKA Tablewerks was no joke [emoji2957][emoji2957][emoji2957]

Didn’t have time to put my tube bumper back on. Had to get ready for work [emoji23][emoji23]

Picked up a CBI Front bumper and have no idea what the rear bumper is off Facebook marketplace. Got both for 800.

nice find on that rear bumper, but you are missing the side brackets/stiffener and some spacers. Also, you will need stick nuts to install that rear bumper.

There is a youtube video on how to install bumper and it will show you what you are also missing.

Tossed in a diff drop. $20 unit off Amazon. After adding a 3/8” tophat spacer on top of my 6112s, the CVs looked a bit extreme at full drop and a couple of the inner boot fins were touching at ride height. The diff drop was enough to get the boot fins to not touch so I think it did its job. I also have an RCI front skid so it allows for enough room for a diff drop. Im happy and it was a cheap and easy install.

So just because we own a Japanese vehicle we can't display our patriotism in any manner we see fit? Now THAT makes me scratch my head.

I agree! Just because we don’t have an American car doesn’t mean we can’t be patriotic. I have an American flag on all 4 side!

I always scratch my head when I see guys with the US flag etched on a 4Runner side window - maybe on a Ford or Chevy but on a Toy? No…

not sure if this is a troll post or not lol. looking at the vehicle someone drives and drawing parallels to patriotism is such a cherry pick argument. where do you think your clothes come from. do you own any sort of electronic device? do you wear shoes? do you live in a house made of wood - chances are it was from imported lumber.

the USA is the worlds largest importer and exporter of goods. if anything the USA has benefitted significantly from global trade lol. not to mention adds 10s of millions of jobs

I have managed to get all the hardware needed. And after going to SEMA this past week I found a company called Sendcutsend.com who can make any custom bracket needed and the website is very easy to use just need the measurements. The YouTube video definitely helped me figure out what hardware I needed. Thanks for the input.

Did my first oil change since putting the RCI skids on. Fumoto + RCI engine skid is a perfect combo. One issue I did have is that the oil filter drain plug would not come out. It just turned the whole filter out. And even trying to take it off on the bench was useless… felt like I was going to break the filter housing. So I guess I’ll just have to deal with an environmental disaster every time I do an oil change

Fumoto valves are great!

On the canister drain plug it sounds as if it was over tightened and the O-ring is binding. I'd try some cold and heat cycles of the housing along with a strap wrench on the outside and an impact wrench set to a low torque value to bust the plug loose..

Nice post! I think I might install my radio like this. What cables did you use to run from the battery to the radios? Also, what mount did you use for the face plate up in the cab? Thanks,

In the back of the 4R in the passenger side wheel well cover is the stock power panel. I ran an additional 10 Ga wire pair from my second battery back there and repurposed the panel for radios and the fridge with a DC voltmeter and Anderson PowerPole sockets

The Harris XG100 control head is pre-drilled for Ram mounts. The flexible gooseneck is from my own stash but is similar to this

Last of the boarded horses left a few weeks ago. Wife says she's getting some cattle next week, so the corrals needed to be dragged.
Couldn't get the quad to start so hooked the drag to the hitch on the 4runner and "got 'er done". 4-lo & 1st gear.
Couldn't get the center of the small corral.
Wife says she might get some goats too. And a barn cat. I don't think our oldest dog is going to let a cat live here.
So, the 4runner was a tractor today.

Looks great! (love the steel wheels)
Are those body (door) moldings Toyota OEM?

ghetto mods

Found some stainless steel vents to cover the speed holes in my bumper. Didn't have a huge problem with those speed holes, until I found huge dents in my AC condenser so i had to find some covers that didn't block airflow.

Luckily i found one company that makes them for cheap. Not too bad looking.

When ya think your done modding, something else always pops up.

Winter tires and 4WD testing.
I'm very happy with the Blizzak's. Maybe a bit of a disadvantage that they are directional, so you can only swap them on one side back/front for tire rotation.
