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

Made use of some dead space and added my drankin’ jug to the new 4R.

Got a smoked brake light off eBay. Quality is ok but the stock plug will absolutely not fit. I had to cut up the light to get it to fit.

That looks very beefy! I like the fact I can use the 12 VDC plug in on my ATV on the trail & not have to connect to Batt terminals. I know not a big deal, convenience factor for me. I'm spoiled when it comes to those things at this point :becky:

The 12v (cigarette lighter) type outlet is convenient, but the more powerful compressors can draw a lot of current, 30 Amps or more. This can overheat the small gauge wiring or blow a fuse, hence the direct connection to the battery for safety.

I had the same problem. I gave mine to my son and it fit on his wife's 2019 Highlander. Go figure. I used tint spray paint on my stock one and it came out perfect.

I wanted the RED 3rd Brake light. Mine came OEM White!!Let me guess that light was from. CARID?Lumen(R) - Toyota 4Runner 2018 Black/Smoke LED 3rd Brake Light[]=SUBMODEL|TRD+Pro I can tell just looking at the connector. I had the same issue last summer. I bought it from there site WHICH Claims it fits 2018 4Runner NO It does NOT. I had to go through A LOT of BS to get my $$$ Back. I took pic of my OEM next to their's, it was SO obvious the connector was NOT close. I'll try to load the pics. I'm new to this site & not great W/adding Pic yet

Look at the L/H 1 my OEM & TheR/H is CARID POS:frusty::puke::mad::mad2:

I chatting On line W/Rep. He told me "Oh that's the correct one, Maybe yours is Incorrect" Mine was 8 months old Since I bought it NEW W/OEM Spoiler from mfg. I was able to FINALLY get all my $$ back & I did find a RED one that WAS mfg W/Correct connector. I don't know why Toyota made mine W/White 3rd bk light. I only realized it from another forum that some people were talking about it. Dam Forums cost me A LOT $$$$$:):bounce:

Installed my eibach lift! First time doing a lift. Wasnt too bad and KDSS wasnt too much trouble. About 4 hours for the fronts and 2.5 for the back. Got about 2.5 up front and .75 in the back which is perfect for having 200 lbs in the trunk right now and the bumper/winch.

Align tomorrow and check torque and its done!

I’ve always had trouble seeing the HVAC position knob pointer in the shadows in daylight. So I added a little piece of yellow nylon tape at the end of the red indicator bar. Works for me!

Changed the oil filter and install aluminum oil filter housing. Almost impossible to get the plastic one off. The process took a lot longer than I anticipated mainly because I had to loosen my custom bumper to access the skid plate etc. I will definitely be researching and considering getting the upgraded skid plate with the oil filter access panel.

I dropped the transmission pan and changed the filter and added new tranny fluid. I wasn't exactly sure of the torque setting on the tranny pan bolts so I did around 8 ft pounds based on a quick Google search, does that sound about right?

I used all Toyota brand oil because the dealer gave me 20% off. The tranny filter was a wix brand.

Correction: you were talking about the pan, I'm an idiot, my bad. He torques the pan at about 16 mins on this video. I just asked him what he torques it to. Maybe someone can quote some service manual.
