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

My thoughts exactly! People are selling their stock TRD racks for $500-600 around here but then RCI offers a full rack for the same price. It was too good of a deal to pass up. I'd been eyeing the Prinsu rack for awhile and it was almost double the price.

I tried a new LED set and very happy with the light output. I think the price is good for 2 sets (Low beam & High beam)
Just noticed they have extra $25 coupon in Amazon.

1st new vehicle I’ve ever had hit 20K miles.
Hopefully I can add another zero to that number. Not sure which is more depressing…never hitting 20K miles on a vehicle or the 11.6mpg.
What the…? You buy new, sell every couple years, buy new, repeat…?
You never even break them in!!
At least you always have that new car smell. :thumb3:

I haaaaaaaaaaated my 4Runner's new car smell. I usually love new car smell, but this one was awful. I'm so glad it's gone.

My first oil change. It only had about 2,000 miles on it (I wanted to do it sooner but I’ve just been too busy) since it had been changed at the dealership, but who knows what kind of oil they used. I put in Mobil1 full synthetic and a Mobil1 filter. I know some of y’all may snub your nose at that since it’s not genuine Toyota parts but I’ve never been let down by Mobil1.

you can always ask your dealer what type of oil they use.

Do the high beams work in the DRL mode?
I just replaced my wife’s headlights and fog lights with Sealights from Amazon. Huge improvement over stock. They both had coupons, $25 and $10 off! I paid $54 for 6 bulbs! I want from trying to buy $1,300 headlight replacements to these bulbs! [emoji23] I thought I’d try these and then buy better later- if I need them.

Another Mark Twain Mafia trail ride. Just me and the Girls (Kayla, Jessy, and Bryn) this time.
Kayla loves getting her 5th 4Runner gen sideways and muddy!
Love that window sticker:
Jessy playing in the mud puddles with her 4th gen 4Runner:
Peer Pressure always gets me:
Fun for the whole family.
Didn't get a pic, but I got to work on my tire plugging skills. Kayla got good 3 inch L shaped cut plus a puncture on the sidewall of one of her tires. I used 3 plugs on the large cut and 1 plug on the small puncture.

This week I added Cali Raised Trail rock sliders, 2013 Trail stock roof rack, and MaxiTrac awning. The awning was only $100 and quality is better than I expected…for only $100. We’ll see how it holds up. Just a placeholder until I get a better one.

Finally mounted the weboost drive reach with the big antenna. I have a cheap cargoloc rack from Walmart, that served as the mounting point.
Tried to get the antenna as high as possible. This is a temporary mounting spot, till I get my uptop overland bravo (due September).
Mounted the booster unit under the front passenger seat as the driver side space is occupied by an amplifier.
The internal antenna is mounted on the central console facing the front of the car. This is a good 18-36" from the typical phone spot (on dash, next to audio).
Will be testing this out over the next few weeks. Getting ready for a cross country drive to yellowstone in August.and hoping this will help in Nebraska where only VZ has coverage.

In DRL mode it has a little flicker. My XenonDepot ones were the best I've seen for DRL but this out perform the highbeam light output.
$54 for 6 bulbs? That's a really good price.. With the light output I'm getting with new LED bulbs I'm far from thinking about $1000 headlights. Some even can't change the bulbs without removing the entire housing which requires to remove the bumper... LoooL....
