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

[415T4R]

I keep clicking the 2010+ TRD Supercharger expecting good news. So I decided to ad a @<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.toyota-4runner.org/members/momo.75.html" target="_blank">Momo.75</a> sticker and add 5+ HP myself. Hopefully when I add the second one, I should gain almost 10HP!

Road trip.
Before sunrise, somewhere in the Eastern Sierras.

Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air..."

New wind fairing came in today, just waiting on the rack.

Went to June Lake for the long weekend. Kinda late but here's a pic!

Not today but Saturday... installed the N-Fab steps. Easier than the Tacoma... the 4Runner had bolts to remove. The Tacoma had paint in the threads and plastic plugs so the threads had to be cleared first. These just bolted right up with the provided hardware.

Nice whip man! I've been debating on whether to go with Nfab or OEM trail running boards. Curious when you bought this truck...is it a TE or TEP? If it's a TE I might have test drove it - curious what you ended up paying as the dealer quoted me "...the best price you'll ever see".

FYI - I have the same 4R in Portsmouth. Completely stock at the moment. I'll keep an eye out for ya.

Swapped the stock rack for the 10-13 TE rails thanks to bigbillyt. Running Thule crossbars and a 44" fairing trimmed to fit around the side rails. Also running a Yakima Basketcase with ski rack mounts to get the rack recessed between the bars

Hey CIW - I'm digging this up from a while back, but I'm looking to setup this similiar rack...i'm curious how you mounted the basket case to the thule bars recessed between the factory rack. Any modification to the factory rack to get the basket case to fit?

Cheers!

In anticipation of my roof rack (hopefully) coming (soon), I ran my wiring for the LED light bars last night. Same way I used for my FJ. Was way less stressed drilling a hole straight through the roof since I have done it before!

It will be well hidden under the roof rack forward plate and fairing, so globbing on the Marine Seal isnt a concern...

Went to costcos to pick up these boys. Yeti 400 $350,Boulder 30 $140. Getting ready for summer travel/camping.

Do you know if this will run the ARB fridge and for how long?

Acquired a TE full tank skid to hold me over for a bit. It'll keep me a little more protected for the time being compared to the quarter length SR5 stock skid.

If you have it constantly charging during the day(solar or hooked up to you truck) It can last for a while. [MENTION=50186]adio3x[/MENTION] may have more of a straight answer for you. He is running the yeti350 with solar panel on his roof rack powering his arb refrigerator. I read or saw somewhere that it can run a small refrigerator. Here are to videos 1 running a small refer, and the other where the guy explains the yeti's

It looks slick but $700 for a portable battery and a 20 watt solar panel is highway robbery

Here is a 50 watt panel which really will keep up with the fridge on a sunny day for 130:
Amazon.com : Renogy Starter Solar Panel Kit 50W Poly: Solar Panel UL Listed Charge Controller 12V off grid Solar Kit Portable : Patio, Lawn & Garden

You can then either use that to keep your car battery topped off or buy a lead acid, golf cart or luggable second car battery as the storage medium for another $100 or so and have a much nicer performing (though arguably uglier looking) system for WAY less...

For my telescope batteries I got a pair of automotive deep cycles and made a wooden box for them with V meter and sockets on top and charge them with a pair of 75 watt panels from depleted to full in about 5 or so hours.. Course those are HUGE and not really portable and somewhat overkill. The linked panel above is more portable and for a little more, look for a folding one. 50 watts is a good amount of power to make sure you keep the battery up and can even be used to recharge a dead car battery in a few hours enough to start it.

Wow! Is all that corrosion & salt under there?

No fun trips today, did an oil and filter change in the garage. Planned to add a Fumoto valve but bought the wrong one.
:doh: and :rtfm:

This was my setup & it didn't work exactly as I wanted it too lol. The extreme 350 was the only thing available at the time. The yeti 1250 had just been released shortly after.

-3 GZ extreme 350 power packs
-2 boulder 30 panels

So I had the 3 packs daisy chained to each other. The panels would only power the pack that started to lose some juice. The 350 came with an inverter, I realized that plugging the arb directly into the AC inverter would draw way too much power. Ditched the inverter and used the DC plug-in. This setup would work for most of the day, but when it got dark and the solar panels weren't charging anymore, the fridge would consume too much power at about 30 degrees constant. So when I woke up, all 3 batteries were dead & it took almost 12 hours to charge 1 battery with just solar. So it would just be an ongoing fail to charge all 3 batteries every day on the road and having enough power to keep the fridge running. Also the panels have to be in direct sunlight, if it's cloudy you're pretty much screwed.

The yeti 400 or 1250 might be a better choice. That or run a dual battery and you'll be golden.

Sorry to hear. I also ordered the fumoto, but in F103, and got it a couple days ago. I originally had a magnetic tipped bolt but stripped it on my last oil change. Gotta wait a thousand more miles before I get to add the fumoto.

Got hit at low speed by a young kid in mid-January, I've just get a new front bumper, inner fender, fogs and flasher replaced. It also removed all dings and scratches from trails me and previous owner have been.

After.
