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

Had some fun at Ocotillo Wells.

Wife's 4Runner.

Mounted the new wheels and tires on Wednesday. Fifteen52 Turbomac HD in 17x8.5 et0 with 275/70 r17 BFG ko2s. Factory suspension still.

Went for a Sunday drive with the family through Olympic National Park near High Steel Bridge.

It makes me laugh when I see people on here blacking out their license plates in pictures LMAO as if a million people don't see it every day lol
The car thief is more likely to be local to you not 5 states away
 
Interior is starting to come together, got some of the plastics back from hydro dipping and I installed paracord grab handles in place of the factory plastic ones. Love the handles they are so comfortable to grab onto. But those handles were the hardest mod I've done yet.

Straight baller. Not my style but that's dope
 
I can report that the factory rack on the 2019 TRD Pro 4Runner can handle a 14” paddle board without incurring wind-related transport issues. However, that extra 4-5 inches of height means you need to travel with a folding step ladder if you are under 6 feet tall. I am thinking FrontRunner full length rack eventually. It will allow me to spread apart the attachment points and move the board further forward and closer to the roof line.

Got the 4Runner ready for winter. Installed remote start and some wallet friendly "heated seats" for now.

I know you just installed it but, how do you like the remote start? How easy was it to install?

I really like it! I didn't get any of the extended range stuff accessories so I'm limited to the range of the OEM key fob but that's all I need. I really like being able to use the key and not have to have an extra fob.

Install went super quickly I believe it took about 35 mins but I took pictures of every step of the install. Hope to get a write up done on that soon. If you're comfortable pulling panels then this mod is a no brainer. The directions are SUPER easy to follow. I know a couple people had complaints on them but they must have been re written since then. I've been alone in a room and still not the smartest guy in it so if I can follow these I'm sure you can too!

That's actually the type I was planning on getting. The winter here NY is getting pretty brisk lately, as you know.

It's good to hear that it's easy. I don't mind taking a couple things apart, I feel like I learn my vehicle better that way.

Yeah I always get a kick out of that too. What am I gonna do, run your plate and stalk you?? If I'm stalking anyone she's going to be hot and local. [emoji1787][emoji23]

I've been thinking about this too. Don't they offer a phone app to start as well? Is there a time limit that it allows it to run for? Thanks.

Truck is FOR SALE. I need to make room for something else. Not sure where the best place is to post the sale.

Since taking these photos, I’ve added the SSO slimline front bumper with loop and inset LED bar. Also, I have a full Frontrunner roof rack, brand new in box. Haven’t had time to install it yet.

Truck has about 6500 miles.

I’ve had the WeatherTech in channel on for 1.5 yrs no issues and they’ve been in all types of weather and long road trips. No hwy noise, solid look and still going strong. I guess I got one of the few good sets out there.

Possibly. When I looked at the rear set after they fell out I realized the top edge was cupped instead of straight, so the tape only engaged at both ends. Thought about using my belt sander to make them straight but then I realized the tape let go on the fronts as well and they're loose in the channel. I would have returned them but Amazon said they were outside the window by the time I got around to it (maybe two months after buying them). Live and learn, I should have searched the forum cause I've since seen a bunch of the same reports.
 
Took me and the family up the coast to clearer skies and a view of the lunar eclipse. Also acted as a windblock from the heavy winds for the half second exposures it took to capture cleanly.

Beautiful rig. Good luck with your sale. If you decide to part anything out I'm interested in the bumper.

That's beautiful. I saw the last one clearly but could not see this one due to clouds.
 
Bought the wife and I some new bikes and a bike rack as well. Haven't ridden a bike in over 10 years. Should be fun. I think?

A better quality bike will actually improve your riding experience greatly. I always recommend you don't spend less than $1000 on a bike and you will be much better off and have a more enjoyable ride
