Had some time at work so I decided to CAD up and 3D print myself a phone holder that fits in that useless coin tray. Had to actually draw the TRD. Looked to plain without it. I also had time to do the Antman flashlight mod for my 1000 lumen Surefire P3X Fury in the door tray.

I like that mod!

I did similar to door panels of my other vehicles using basic flash light bicycle holders from eBay.

I'll have to do this to the 4runner..

Looks great, like it belongs there. I was going to comment on Insta but I wasn't 100% sure that was a mod, and I was too lazy to go down and check my own truck in the parking lot [emoji23]

Yep! [MENTION=154554]Jasontamu[/MENTION] is working on perfecting his bracket for aesthetics, but this prototype version he installed on my 4Runner is 100% functional!!!


...plus now I have one less excuse to do a lift...:spy:

Wow, looks great! Would love one if you are willing to make another :bigok:

If you don't want to make more would you be willing to share the file for it? I'd be interested in having a friend print one up. Looks awesome dude!
 
Finished up my drawers tonight. Turned out pretty much exactly like i wanted. It was a fun project and learned a bit along the way!

Normal Setup:

Any guesses what's inside the OD Green bag? ^^

Camping/Tailgating Setup:
When I put the grill etc in the drawer, the contents from my normal setup go nicely in the nook to the right.

Any chance you might be able to twist the head about 45-60 degrees left so it points at the driver? Also maybe create a center recess for a wireless charging pad?

YES my iPhone 8 needs... wait... the iPhone 8 is not out yet, is it..? ...I am really not good at time travel... or forums.

Make it so.

Gen5 2016 Shifting issues

Sucks but it could happen to any manufacturer. It happens, they'll fix it, you'll be happy again.

No joy as they say. Sat at the Flagstaff dealership while they ran the computer diagnostic and when for a test drive. No codes flagged. Of course they didn't drive it in the conditions the issue occurs. Left with the impression they had no idea what to do. One of the advisors thinks the torque converter is the issue. Told me to drive it hard. When it shifts hard at speed and if it bucks again then he says he'd push it hard.

Since then I went to Sedona AZ, and then back to Flagstaff for the last day of the Overland Expo. Yesterday I drove back up to Park City Utah via Grand Canyon and Bryce Canyon.

Driving on 89A N of the Bryce Canyon area I had no passing power. I'd get stuck behind a car going 45 and couldn't get the 4Runner going fast enough to pass in the passing lane. Tried both D and S mode. It'd rev up but couldn't seem to shift up. I'm wondering if its an issue with shift points or maybe some funky OD versus ECO mode setting.

Its getting worse. Today it shifted slowly then shifted down jostling me around while in traffic. It jumped 4000 rpm and back to 2000 when shifting between 4th and 5th with speed changes between 60 and 75 mph.

I'm getting my super sliders installed tomorrow. Bolting on only cause I"m not sure this vehicle belongs in my garage.

If anyone has insights to how to fix the issue please post! Would appreciate your 2cents!
 
Shifting Issues

Good luck with that.

I worked for Tier 1 and Tier 2 automotive suppliers and there is a vast difference in auto parts. Some manufacturers don't even have their parts 100% inspected like Chrysler. The Toyota lines had 200% and 300% inspection. The 4Runner is built at the highest quality, most advanced plants in the world, not Mexico, where they live in the parking lot.

Honda and Toyota have never let me down.

Well... They've let me down. Any thoughts on how to resolve the issue? Its only good for driving to the grocery store as is.

Very nice, do you have the file shared anywhere? Which 3D printer are you using, I like the smooth finish?
