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

Found this emblem on amazon:

Apparently, its a toyota oem item. Keep in mind if you guys plan on purchasing it. It is a metallic sticker with a clear rubber coating, and its small. So basically, its great as a interior decal/emblem. I'm not so sure it is durable enough to be applied on any external surfaces.

Yesterday.

Went to Victory 4x4's open house. Picked up 1 rear and the console molle panels.

Hit some two-tracks on the way home.

First post!!! I bought my '19 SR5 a few weeks ago and did my first mod today at 528 miles.

This was 100% a safety/mobility modification - I've done it on 4 other vehicles over the years, but this was my first Toyota. I have a disability in my arms that limits my reach. My hands are also smaller than average, and the stock wheel is large and cumbersome. I used the same setup in my Forester XT for 100k mi with zero issues. Being my first Toyota, I was slightly apprehensive about this mod. I haven't come across another 5th gen with an aftermarket steering wheel. I did a TON of research into fitment and any potential electrical issues, and, alas, there were no conflicts or ill-fitting parts. With some steering adapter hubs, there aren't provisions for the clockspring, which requires the driver to manually turn off the blinkers. This hub works with the clockspring, so the blinkers operate normally, and there are zero warning lights.

I can do a detailed write-up, if it's useful to anyone, but I doubt this will be a popular mod among the 4Runner crowd, mostly because of the airbag issue.

For now, these are the parts I used:

* Works Bell Adapter Hub: Model 540S. Comes with several harnesses with spade connectors, two resistors and fasteners. The adapter hub, resisters and horn wiring harness were 100% plug-and-play. I lost cruise control and the other buttons, but I'll figure that stuff out later. There are various kits to mount the cruise control stalk, mostly from the GT86/FRS/BRZ world.

* NRG Quick Release

* Works Bell 1" Spacer

* Nardi Deep Corn Steering Wheel

i had something similar to your set up in my 350z but I used a short adaptor, otherwise I couldn't reach the blinkers.....

I'm very tempted in doing this mod to the 4runner... I miss having a nardi wheel.
 
Girlfriend wanted a Gobi stealth for her 5th gen but I couldn’t justify spending $1600 plus the dealing with the 12 week lead time a lot of people were talking about.

So I decided to build one. After scouring these forums and looking a pictures and spec sheets I was able to come close and it ended up turning out better than I expected. This forum was super helpful to me so I wanted to post some of these pictures for anyone else looking to do the same thing.

All in all it took me about 50 hrs (however I didn’t have all the proper tools that would cut back on time, i.e manual tubing bender, work table, metal break, etc) and cost about $250 for metal and supplies.

Feel free to dm me if you have any
questions

Well I finally finished the sub enclosure. I had wrapped in in felt but it looked cheap and out of place given that it was against grained plastic panels (unlike a car truck that is all carpet stuff). I tried to wrap in auto carpet but it still looked weird. I finally settled on vinyl. Vinyl is much less forgiving to inconsistencies in the surface its on but all in all I am much happier. I also relocated the outlets to the face surface of the panel. The outlets are positioned such that I can build a shelf system at some point without concern.

Like I said, I am well out of practice and would do things a little differently if I were to do it again but overall I'm very pleased. I saved several hundred dollars on a custom box and had a neat project to keep me busy for a bit.

Once I get the go ahead from the wife it will house a monster Alpine R.
