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

Took my TRDORP "off road" for the first time. Does it count if it's a gravel parking lot?

We made out brand new 2017 float and put our new bolt on sliders on it. :photo:

New 2014 - 2018 4Runner bolt on sliders are now available for presale at the crazy low price of $499! ($637 retail) Check out goo.gl/yrsTkF for more info, photos and ordering. Don't miss this deal, once gone it's gone forever!

What would one with the step plates look like? Is it a full cover or just partial?

Thanks!
 
Replaced the LED tail lights with better LED tail lights. Pretty significant difference. The one on the left is the new brighter one, the one on the right is the older. Pictures don't quite do justice to just how much brighter it is.

Good for all around the rest of the car, but only okay for backup lights: SiriusLED Extremely Bright 3030 Chipset LED Bulbs for Car Interior Dome Map Door Courtesy License Plate Lights Compact Wedge T10 168 194 2825 Xenon Wh https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0186P1MUW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_A8HM3hJsZRR7R

Stay away from Uniballs. Go delta of ball joint style. Uniball is awesome in terms of strength but that's about it. They take A LOT of work to keep quiet. JBA arms actually have a better range of motion than the ICON uniball arms do believe it or not.

Went with the Delta's. Thanks for the input. Will post photos when I get this completed.
 
Found plenty of snow in Trout Lake, WA

removed front and rear silver bumper caps, shop will have them done tomorrow in satin black. Also rattle canned the front toyota emblem. Much mods, many wow, so overland.
 
Added switch for the rear 12v outlet. Having a jewelry saw and files comes in handy for small stuff like this!

(Just turn your computer monitor sideways until I learn how to do this stuff)

So, to make them be in the correct orientation (for PC) you simply right click the pic in the file, select edit, it'll open in Paint, select save, and then resubmit it to the site. It'll be in the correct orientation after that. Additionally, you can highlight a whole bunch of pics, right click, select edit, and it'll open all of them one by one, then you just click save, close, til you're all done......

:focus:

Anyways....... What's the switch for? Those only work when the key is in and turned to a position anyways, right? Mine do.... :noidea:
 
Took it into the dealership for the 10,000 maintenance.

Came home and did the LED puddle lights and love them. The difference is night and day.

The old puddle lights barely even did anything and these really help light up the area

Hell yeah, I swapped mine out with these:

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0186P1MUW/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They work in many places all over the vehicle. The bulbs that came stock were so weak I literally didn't even know there were lights there until I RTFM. These are making a HUGE difference, especially since we have entered into the dark months here in Alaska.

Unfortunately, when I was taking off the top piece to access the innards of the mirror, I launched it across the driveway, scraping up the passenger side. Luckily, it's not really noticeable.... but still, BE CAREFUL when pulling those things! Those tabs that hold it in are so strong.

There's a light under the mirror?? I need to check this out.

North Pole huh? I was stationed at Wainwright, I lived off China Hot Springs Road. I miss Alaska despite the long winter.

We have had a pretty mild winter thus far making it quite bearable. Alaska certainly a place but only certain people can handle, but so beautiful I definitely feel privileged to live here.

And the 4Runner is a great companion to have up in this winter wonderland.

Same here - it was 2 months before I noticed them in a dark parking lot. OEM bulbs are so dim I don’t even see the point. Planning on LEDs all inside and will do the mirrors as well.
 
Cool good to hear, i was concerned about wet traction doesnt look like any rain channels to help evacuate water. The falkens have some balancing issues and wheel shakes 55-65 so more tire searching we go.

I wouldn't check these off your list just yet. They do get great reviews in the rain, I honestly think the issue is me. For one, I have a heavy foot. That coupled with the fact my pressures may be wrong is likely the issue. THis coming week I will be adjusting tire pressure front and rear and I expect to improve wet weather traction. Literally no one else agreed when I asked if they had issues in the rain so like I said, I think the issue is me. They're a great looking tire, very quiet for how aggressive they are, good ride quality. Better ride quality than my 285 KO2's that I had on the truck for the first 5K miles or so and both are E rated. The only thing I will tell you is they are heavy tires. My 295/70/17 weigh about 65 pounds each. In the future I do intend to go up to a 305 or 315 but not for a little while. I get bored quickly but these don't even have 1000 miles on them yet lol. Nothing will likely happen until spring or summer unless I come across someone looking to make a trade.
 
Finished the install yesterday, JBA’s, 5100’s all around set at 0 with Wheelers T1 and T12. Caster for days.

Just starting on this thing so the list is pretty minor for the day.

1.) Weathertech Mats cabin and cargo
2.) Installed the net I ordered from Toyota for it
3.) Weathertech Side Window Deflectors.
