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

Picked up a new front bumper. Now I can feel the freedom to chop up the current one!

Installed the snorkel I bought through the Total Automotive Performance group buy.

It was a fun and painful install since I couldn't get the fender liner all the way off. Lots of little cuts and scrapes.

Hello 4runner community. I am an ex-jeeper that got tired of the problems. I loved that thing but needed something way more reliable. Been lurking for a long while with doing my research.

Just picked this thing up and I love it so far. I had plans to buy the TRD offroad but they sold it before I go pick it up. But this allows me to go with an ARB air locker rather than the stock E-locker.

I have plans on locking the rear diff and doing the lift/tire/bumper stuff down the road.

Interested to see how this turns out, I like the SR5 wheels. Even better if they were black. Or bronze would be nice.

Tried to get some after pics to show you... Hard to tell really without anything to contrast with. I'll have some better pics next Monday once they're actually mounted on our MGM Runner.

This is after dry sanding, primer, 2 coats of Rustoleum Metallic Flat Soft Iron (geeze, adjectives much) and 3 coats of Clear Gloss.

Flat soft iron? Wonder what obtuse hard aluminum looks like?
Looks OEM, what do you have on the Runner with all four wheels off?

It's been a hot minute since I have posted. Made a few changes:

1. Installed King shocks and Total Chaos UCAs and rear link kit.
2. 305/70/17 Ridge Grapplers
3. ARB front locker and compressor.
4. Finally mounted my MaxTraxx
5. Threw in an awning.
6. Snorkel.
7. Bought a Crux Expedition Trailer.

Missed your true calling as a product name specialist for Rustoleum.

Thanks! I'm excited to see what they look like mounted up!

It's a Limited, so I've got the stock 20's on it. No idea why a 245 width wheel on a 20" rim made sense to Toyota...

What's nice about the Crux trailer is that there are no options...everything is included (tent, awning, solar setup, camp kitchen, electrical, water tank, lights, etc). I couldn't tell you the specifics on the solar setup, but the guys at Crux said it's equivalent to a Yeti 1250 setup.

Wow! Those things are awesome and look really well built and spec'ed out!

Decisions, decisions... haha

Thinking of going the RTT route with the 4Runner, an offroad, expedition style trailer, or a more conventional travel trailer towed behind my Ram.

RTT and a nice roof rack are definitely the cheapest route, but that doesn't net you a full "setup" regarding storage, cooking, etc. Which by the time you buy drawers, fridges, and everything else, you're probably closer to the tow-able options.
 
More work setting feeders on the ranch. This one is in a very remote spot on the property. Set up game cameras to see what kind of monsters are lurking about.
