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

Christmas eve. Cruising around in snow when came across this accident. The two passengers were literally climbing out as I pulled up to the scene. No injuries. The hill is steeper than the picture depicts but it does not take much to cause problems around here. Hope everyone stays safe this holiday season!

Changed rear and front diff oil (cheap one), drove for few mins, drained it again. After draining it second time the oil in rear diff looked same color (as I put in) but was very muddy. The front diff second drain looked clear but darker. Filled both diffs with mobile1.

This is how old oil looked like (assuming it was never changed)

how many miles and what type of driving?
 
I removed the Bajarack logo, resprayed it black and mounted it back on with some decals to add more horsepower :) Sorry for the monster sized pic.

New 4Runner + new parts on order

Purchased our 2018 TRD-ORP last week, ordered trd pro grill replacement, and black out package for emblems. Installed emblems today and should get the TRD PRO grill early next week.

Also just placed an order for Icon Stage 2 with tubular UCAs, Fuel vector wheels (18x9"), K&N cold air intake, and Nfab 3" nerf bars. Should be getting all that within the next week. I'll have my hands full of fun projects over the next few weeks! :thumb3:

Couldn't pass up the end of year 10%-15% off on all the parts...

Wish they would have come black. I took mine off. I didn't realize they made a blackout kit for the TRD off-road emblems, I thought just the rear and front grill. Maybe post part #'s if you don't mind.

I also just picked up an 18' T4R TRD Off-road Premium a couple weeks ago. Ordered the same Icon Setup, sounds like we will both be busy this week..lol
 
Not today, but over the weekend (because Tapatalk stopped working for me, for some reason):

  • Relocated smog pump to passenger-side firewall (Shrockworks kit)
  • (FINALLY) installed ARB twin compressor (CKTMA12) on Bandi mount (highly recommend this mount) with AOB switch

Install took a lot longer than expected, mostly because I am so weak on electrical knowledge and was also extra careful with everything. Still have to finish the wiring and tidy everything up this upcoming weekend, but got the bulk of the work done!

Huge thanks to all of the members who've written such great resources on here!

how many miles and what type of driving?

I bought it about 3 months ago with 122k miles. It was a family car (stock Limited) and all the regular maintenance was done periodically, but I don't think diff fluids were changed, I might be wrong. Does not look like it ever towed either. Since I bought it I went off-roading twice before changing the fluids.
 
Took my pups for a hike around the Spooner Summit area...

Nice stance! Stock UCA's? Can I fit 295s on stock 7 inch trd pro rims? I thought I saw someone who did it on the forum or fb.

Thanks and yes back to stock UCA because I HATED the uniball ICON arms. I'll likely be going with new arms soon from someone else but going with ball joint arms this time. The stock 7" wide wheel might be a little on the narrow side and you'll need wheel spacers with stock back spacing. My wheels are 17x8 with a 4.5" BS and 0 offset and I have maybe 3/4"-1" clearance between the tire sidewall and UCA at the ball joint bulge in the arm. No way these tires would clear on a stock BS wheel, at least not from the looks of it. Could always buy the spacers, mount the tires on the wheels, test fit, and only use the spacers if you need them. With that said, this is NOT my recommendation to run spacers. I am personally not a fan of spacers and do whatever it takes to avoid them. Lots of people run them, some have failures, some don't, I choose not to run them.

Gave it a much needed detail after a few weeks of rain and snow.

Heading up to the mountains this weekend for New Years and there’s a slight chance of snow, hoping to see some!
