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

[johnnygraphic]

We installed the blacked out badges on our TRD ORP Sunday. Looking better! Next up is either wheels/tires or clear bra and ceramic coat. Both will happen. Just a matter of timing.

Sweet! Yeah about your list, personally I’d do clear bra first. I ordered mine the day I purchased my ORP from Toyota to have their guy come do it. I don’t know where you live but I knew where I live out front ends don’t stand a chance on these freeways in northern Nevada and all the quarries and some mining still going on. So that’s why for me. That was 2020, now the ORP is traded in already on TRD PRO. I did the exact decision again.

Mind showing us a pic of the exact area, I'll proactively tape this down!

Glad you solved it!!!

NVM, it was silent for a day and now baby rattle is back on, Damit! It sounds somewhere above or behind glove compartment. Some day I'll take it apart and foam tape the hell out of everything there.

Thanks for the input! I was going to do it up front, then choked on the price. Then, took it for a camping trip up to Clear Lake. Got bird and bug bombed. Now, I'm 100% in on the clear bra and the ceramic coating. That reminds me, I need to figure out when we can be without the truck for a few days/week maybe(?) and schedule it.

I'm in the Calif Bay Area by Concord, Pleasant Hill. Fortunately, it doesn't get driven much since it's mainly my wife's car and she does mostly short drives around town with the occasional trip on the weekend and I work from home.

I need to do this too. What are you guys hearing about the cost of clear bra for the front clip?

I just ordered the same rear bumper. Looks great.
What brand/size cube lights did you install?

Put in a fold down table from Victory 4X4 on the passenger side swing out and fire extinguisher on the MSP in the rear.

I looked at my 5th gen as I drove past it in the parking lot at wotk.
I drive it to work on Wednesdays (my Monday).
I pull out my work tractor and park the 4runner in the spot. There it sits until I get back on Monday (my Friday).
Today I dropped the trailer, hooked to another, looked at the 4runner as I passed it and headed back out for another quick 500 miles.
Should be back by midnight.
Tuesday off.
Wednesday start the cycle all over again.

My best suggestion is to search reviews on Yelp and detail forums for local shops. You are shopping the service and expertise, not just the product. There are also several levels of coating too.

I used the Diode Dynamics sports with fog beam. The guys at Victory installed the rear bumper and they did mention some difficulty mounting them but they didn't explain in detail. I'd reach out to them and see what they recommend.

I went with Diode Dynamics because I love their fog lights I have on the front.

You still on stock rear arms? Might be time to upgrade.

Put a 2” leveling Kit on the front. It seems a tad bit nose high but I’m not 100% sure. So I ordered a 1” rear spacer just to kick it up a tad.

This is temporary till the full suspension comes down the road.

I surrendered and installed a ToyTec Diff drop. Because I torn my inner and outer cv boots. I'm just installing them as a pre-caution. Diff drops aren't really needed at 3" lift. I'm at 4.5" lift in the front which explains the crazy angles.

I have a set of CVJ axles going in next week. I wanted RCV forged axles but just couldn't justify the price tag. So hoping the upgraded CVJ boots will Fair better.

I'm also going to rebuild my stock axles after the CVJ axles going in.

While I was at it ... touched up my CBI skids sprayed them TRD Grey.

Took off the front KDSS sway bar today. Wish I would have done it way sooner. Drives great off-road and still feels fine at 80View attachment 380298

Did the poor mans high clearance mod. TBH the front has only hit a handful of times over the past 6yrs of abuse but the rear was ripped off within a month of haveing it and has been drug all over the place!! After that we headed out to Roswell in search of intelligent life, still no sign of it!!!
