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

Antman Rocker Trim and Side Step Install

Went back and read Jeff's post on removing the rocker panels, found here:http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/92013-antmans-thread-25.html#post1003023

Took my rockers off, installed some side steps from a 2016 T4R.

Went back and read Jeff's post again, then trimmed my rockers and put them back on. He's way better with the angle grinder than I am, but they look good.

Top left is just the new side steps, top right is one factory rocker and one trimmed rocker, bottom left is the trimmed rocker and side step installed and bottom right is crap in my yard that's left over.

DONE:
Oil change (last shop over torqued everything.. was a pain getting the bolt out of the oil filter housing and replacing the small o-ring). Greased all the zerk fittings. Spayed the shock rods. Replaced the air filter. And finally reinstalled my Gobi fairing as the rubber trim piece fell apart on my last road trip.

Left to do:
- Fix threaded insert on Goose Gear Floor.
- Install National Luna Dual Battery system (get an auxiliary tray first)
- Fix spacing issue on upper trailing arm zerk fittings.
- Replace sheered off zerk fitting on passenger side upper trailing arm.
- Order Tembo Tusk LoadSpotter fridge slide
- Order National Luna Weekender 50 fridge.

I need more garage time to knock some of these out!

Made the switch . . . Xenon Depot/Philips HID 4300K in the Low Beams and Philips LED 2700k 4 Fogs. I always loved the looks of those Lexus cars with the yellow fogs.
The install went like clockwork with major thanks to the write-ups and advice from [MENTION=129593]MTN4RNR[/MENTION] [MENTION=103267]Saker[/MENTION] [MENTION=12905]XenonDepot[/MENTION] and [MENTION=60898]Paragon1[/MENTION]

Before/After, Side X Side
:)

Happy I could help out. Ultimately i wound up bumping up to the 6000k because I liked the slightly bluish hue and it suited my LEDs a bit better. But still by far one of the best upgrades you can do to the 4R. Xenondepot is awesome.

Went for a scenic drive. In the Olympic mountains. In a snow storm.

2017 4R Limited on 265/70r17 Blizzak LM-V2s.

No problems, but we would have had to turn back if someone hadn't knocked down the crown in the last few days. Plowing through the fresh powder was ok. Plowing through the ice in a factory height Limited might not have gone so well :-)
Between 24"-30" at the deepest point, 12"-16" at the crown. No pictures from the top. Too busy...

Back after snowboarding, a bunch more digging out the driveway, then back in the garage while I got caked in snow:

Still kinda new to the 4runner. Had a Nissan Xterra Pro-4x and a Jeep JK Rubi prior. Needed more room for the kiddos and the ability to tow my little off road camper.

Just got done installing Bilstein 5100's (Set to .85" up front with 10mm OME spacers in the rear.) Also got some new shoes - Cooper ATP Load E's in stock config. Loving how it drives now. The mild nature of the lift and the ride quality is now absolutely perfect. Love it. :guitar3:

Oh...last item...Raingler Nets custom made me an upper half cargo barrier net (had one in my Xterra prior). Works great.

Wow a Pats fan in Atlanta... you are one brave soul my friend... Go Pats!
 
Took "the Rhino" (and my wife) out to Anza-Borrego today. A lot of wind, not so many flowers (yet), but a lot of dirt trails...

And she did amazing hanging with Jeeps!... especially on P-rated Nittos. (Tho admittedly, we didn't do anything too ridiculous... only a handful of hairy sections). The tire thing kept my arse clinched for most of it... decent sized rocks thru about half of what we drove thru.

Where did you go? That doesn't look like Bridgeport...or at least not what I remember of it.
 
Purchased an ARB dual compressor, manifold kit and bandi mount. I wish ARB offered this with their locker promotion since I'll be picking up the front and rear air lockers in the next month. I will also be ordering the Nitro 4.56 gears as well.

what size fasteners did you purchase to attach the bandimount to the already existing threaded holes in the fenderwell?
