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

[CollinJ]

How’s the wind noise with those cross bars?

I’m also running 4 of those as well. Had it up to 75 with no real noticeable wind noise

 

[FrenchToasty]

Got these off FB for $600!

If they all have rock rash on the rim like the top one, not such a great deal

Cleaned my leather seats last week at 90,000 miles (I bought it with 60k). The driver's seat took a lot of elbow grease but they all look good now. I doubt that they had ever been cleaned.

Installed my [MENTION=219594]Raingler_Nets[/MENTION] and love it! I have had my back seat divider for a few months and just installed my ceiling carrier.

It's perfect for the dog bowls and leashes among other items that will get put up there.

Great quality work and very easy install.

What did you use to clean your seats?

Each. I got mine on the 4th sale. They said they were blemished but I'll be d@mned if I can find anything wrong with them.

how much?

How did you keep down the maxtrax on top of the tent strapped? Did you use bungies? Looks good! And would rather have mine out than inside because they take a good amount of space.

I have a pair of locking Yakima Ripcord straps (same locks as all my other Yakima stuff) that run all the way around the tent and through the Maxtrax handles. I also have another small cable lock that goes through another hole in the Maxtrax. I'm making my way as far as Astoria, OR from Austin and am currently in SLC without issue.

...What Noise?

...I would also agree...as I have 4 of them on my roof and cant say I have heard any difference?...:shrug:

...I expected some noise as I had Yakima-bars on my last vehicle...and those were very obvious!...

...I think the big difference is the LFD's are 'inset' between the rails...and not sticking out beyond the rails like Yakima or Thule crossbars are?...

...I sure ain't complainin!...:bravo:

I live in Anchorage and I was wondering the same thing since me and the misses want to get an R-Pod in a few years. My worries is Turnagain Pass heading towards Kenai. I downloaded OBD-Fusion app for the same reason. 227 degrees is getting pretty hot. How long did it stay at that temp?

The vast majority of the drive going up to the Yukon river (from Eielson) was between 170 and 200. It only got over 200 when I was doing a sustained climb. It only reached over 220 maybe 4 times, and it was only a couple minutes until we reached the top. I would feel much better about towing if I had a transmission cooler. Planning on installing as a just in case measure, even though I don't plan on towing on the regular.

Overall the truck felt confident with the load, but sustaining high speeds on Hills was a pain. I babied it quite a bit, making the climbs between 35 and 55 miles per hour depending on how long it was. YMMV, and you may not feel as guilty hammering the gas as you go up those Hills LOL. I was just so worried about doing damage to the engine / transmission.

After a long wait, I went and picked up the roof rails from the powder coater today

 

[8000m]

What did you use to clean your seats?

I used full strength Formula 409 and a medium stiffness nylon brush. I tried one leather cleaner recommended for auto seats and it didn't do a thing. In the future I'd probably dilute the 409 to 50% strength. I had to scrub some areas 2-3 times, but the light colored seats made any remaining dirt easy to see.

Here's a link that had some reasonable suggestions IMHO.

Thanks for getting back to me. I know Turnagain Pass is maybe 5 or 10min hill climb and it's very steep. I'm with you, I'm not hammering on my 4R either. Were you using the sport shift or just left the gear shift in drive?

I found this on an RV forum and this chart came from a 1990's GM manual, not sure how it pertains to our Next Gen Futuristic 4Runners:naughty:

>> TEMP vs MILES OF LIFETIME

Added some much needed D-rings in the cargo area after seeing [MENTION=198043]DreamsOfDirt[/MENTION] 's post a few days back.
http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/259363-more-tie-down-upgrades-write-up.html

I used different d-rings and got this 4 pack for $14 on Amazon...
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CGXSNC0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

...and purchased two m6-1x45mm bolts at Home Depot.

Less than $20 later and I have 4 new solid tie down points! I wish I had done this years ago.
