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

[jaemz]

wrong, they have numerous colors with TRD still on them.



for 5th gen 4runners I believe white, cement, and sandstorm all still have TRD.



Tacoma's and older 4runners also have a few different color options with TRD still on them.

i guess "one of the last" isn't synonymous with "a few" even though you've listed 3 left out of the dozen or so they offer.

That pretty much sums up about 1/4 of the forum, but there's some good stuff too. Also, if you go to the settings page, you can enter user names to ignore. It's helpful.

Auto dimming dash lights

I wanted automatic night dimming dash lights as described in this thread:
Dear Toyota, please fix this in the next production year of the 4Runner

part number as the Toyota OEM. 89121-50020.
New Automatic Light Control Sensor For Camry Corola Lexus LS430 89121-50020 | eBay

I carefully pried off the black plug on the front of the dash near the windshield. There’s a small electrical plug attached. Take it off and plug in the real sensor. I tested it before snapping it into the dash. With headlights on and the dimmer switch *not* clicked in the full bright position, by covering the sensor then shining a flashlight on it, I could demonstrate the light dimming action. Then I seated it fully into the dash.

I received my part today and bought it for $8.29 on Ebay. Works great and love getting back bright dashlighting in the daytime.

May have done something

Torqued the suspension again to specifications after the install last week. The ride is exponentially smoother than stock and nose dive is now non-existent. Only issue...265s are looking rather small. Might be time to bump up to 285!

Are you running the 265 on the 9” wide wheel

Nope, just the 8.5 inches.

So I ordered a light control sensor from eBay for under $13, including shipping. I made sure it was from a US distribution center so it would ship quickly. It’s a Chinese knockoff, but it has the same part number as the Toyota OEM. 89121-50020. If you look on Toyota websites it’s listed for around $120. That’s nuts; it’s a simple photo sensor.

Works well, I like it.

Should all of our 5th gens have this wire? I pulled my plug I had in there, and there was no wire connected to it. perhaps it had fell down at some point? It looks like I would have to pull the radio or something similar to get that far back. Assuming there is no wire, is this a cheap harness that can be bought and simply plugged in?

i don't think all the years are compatible.

Lift and tires

Installed toytec spacer lift and 285/70/17 tires. Was hoping for a more aggressive look but at least its a step in the right direction.

Step up to a 295/70/17 but you will also need new wheels. 285 is not a good idea on stock pro wheels, 295 is not even an option.

Found this guys standing in front of my truck this morning =)

. How is the power on 295s? Some people complain with 285s!

Tyler State Park

Just got back from Tyler State Park. Very nice place to relax. 2 Adults, 2 15 yr old girls, 1 small dog, 1 huge dog (Irish Wolfhound) and a large RTIC cooler in the back with some other stuff. I think we did pretty good as minimizing what we traveled with, lol.
