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

This was a few weeks ago but I met up with some old friends at Dove Springs for an impromptu weekend. We each got COVID tests to make sure we didn't bring anything home to our families. The offroading there is really geared more towards zipping around on dirtbikes and buggies rather than exploration, but it was still fun. Highlights included visiting the Burro Schmidt tunnel and getting buzzed by a plane (you can see it for a brief glimpse in the video, shame I had the timelapse enabled instead of the standard video).

Got the 4Runner cleaned up on the outside, as well as the inside, after a lot of trip miles the last several months. Feels like new again!

Replaced the factory rock catchers with something a little more useful for getting to the roof rack and much less likely to snag on stuff off road. They were cheap at $290 and look great. Not as good as $900 rock sliders, obviously, but will work fine for my road trip down to Arizona this winter for some mild Jeep trails.

Well here is the follow up. Apparently the top wire (green wire) on my tps sensor got pulled out or broke some how. Either way new pigtail clip ordered and will get a little work done mo day

I have the same Tyger steps on my 2020 Pro and they work just fine!!
 
Decided to change my spark plugs (long overdue). Now I'm in failsafe mode (limp dick mode) and can't seem to get it cleared up. Have 8 codes that popped up when I plugged in. P0121, P0123, P0102, and P0113. All codes pop up twice. Going to try and clean the TPS and MAFS tomorrow... hope it helps. Otherwise thinking of just buying new sensors. Any suggestions or fix it tips please send my way!!!!
I had something like this happen once upon a time with a Mercury. Turned out to be a cracked spark plug. Almost invisible to the naked eye, but the dealership was able to pinpoint and confirm. You could try swapping them out one at a time with a fresh one to see if that fixes it. Good luck [emoji106]
 
I know it's too late now but FN Wheels makes the fx Pro in an 8", zero offset. Plenty of colors and they're lighter than factory.

I just had these swapped from my 2013 over to my 2021. They protrude out much more and look fantastic.

I prefer the look of the gunmetal Grey TRD rims on my blue truck more than these black rims. Probably going to make that move after a few thousand more miles. For now the old lady won't let me spend any more money [emoji849]

Got the same CBI front bumper on order. Currently at week 6 of order. Cant wait to get it on after seeing yours. Looks awesome.
 
Got the Bilsteins installed on my new 21’ TRD ORP and tinted the front windows. Love the way it sits now and the ride is much better than stock.

Did you have it come powder coated from CBI? The installer ordered it clean and wanted to powercoat local as its coming to Canada. Saves damaging the coating in transit. What coat does your have? Textured matt or satin gloss.

Looks great. Where'd you set the clip in the front? New springs in the back? Any interference with TSS?

Yes sir.....I had it come powder coated from CBI. Luckily no damages & was very well packed! Mine is just flat black/no texture.
 
Ordered gear oil and crush washers to change my differentials and transfer case.
Mobile1 75w-90 synthetic for all three.

How do you like the iKamper? Looks like it fills out the roof very nicely. Were you bummed to lose basically all useable roof space?

I am in the process of evaluating rooftop tents and I really like the idea of an iKamper/iKamper-like as you get the durability of a hardshell with the larger sleeping area of a softshell. Not super jazzed on the idea of taking up amy entire roof though, so the skycamp mini and roofnest condor have been catching my eye recently. Rig looks sick!

2nd clip from the bottom 0.85” and just Bilstein 5100s in the rear and stock coils. Didn’t want to lift it just wanted to bring the front up some to level
It out and it rides much better. The dealership tried to charge me 250$ to “recalibrate” the TSS sensors but I didn’t think it was necessary and it has been driving great and the sensors seem to be working properly.
