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

Here's a close up... And I couldn't be more happy with opting to powder coat the trail rims... I paid $100 per wheel, and it was worth every penny. I actually painted the center caps myself with color matching paint, they didn't come out as perfect as the powder coat! Haha

Awesome looking - thanks!! I'm getting my lift and tires put on next week. I'm going to see if they can do this for me while it's all apart. Thanks again!

Do you mind sharing what kind of lift and tires you're doing and the total cost? New guy here trying to gather as much info as possible!
 
Upgraded from 5100 to 6112. Definite size difference..

Just gettin' started

Yes I'm new to 4Runners. I sold my F150 and left hundreds of posts behind on the F150 forum.
Went through all the maintenance items today from axle fluids, transfer case fluids and transmission fluid. I did learn from the local Autozone store that Dexron VI is an acceptable replacement for the Toyota WS fluid. The bottles of STP Dexron VI state this on their label. I confirmed this with a transmission shop that is owned by a friend of my Dads who said they use it in all the imports they rebuild.
I also e-mailed Toytec about lifts today.
More to come if I can convince the Wife that the 4Runner needs "stuff"
E.
 
Used my day off to do some exploring with my buddy.

Havent been off road in months but tonight I packed up my tent , grill and supplies to head down for an overnight trip to PINS.
 
Tires mounted and alignment complete. Stuffed with 285/70-17 with BFG KO2s on Bilstein 6112/5160 combo. Loving the look, little rubbing in the front but should be easy enough to fix with a heat gun. Think I might even be able to keep the mudflaps. [emoji41]

I put my summer tires back on (god those things can't wear out fast enough) put the sliders on. I think since my last update I had the exhaust welded with a better looking welded tip. Ordered a baja rack and waiting on some free time for the hidden winch to go on! Oh and a factor 55 recovery point at the rear.
