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

its normal sale price and typically see other places about 100-200 more. Debating if i''ll have tire discounters match it and do an alignment. They did my previous alignment after the trd pro suspension install and it was the best. Still debate if I want the 275/70/17 size.


Not sure if it’s just me, but on the stock suspension setup, it looks like it’s low riding.

265/70/17’s look better and the truck seems to sit taller. Probably just an illusion.

Hiker trailer?! Looks fun!


It is man, we have a blast in that thing and get the kids outdoors WAY more than we ever did tent camping, but at the same time, we’re not sitting in an RV with AC and generator blaring. Love it!

Ordered a Viair 88P. Amazon was selling it for $79, but Tirerack has it for $66 and free shipping. Score! And combine with 3% cash back on Rakuten.

Looks great! So I’ve been thinking about doing the same because we do a lot of camping and I don’t want all of the bugs in the car. But other times I want the regular white light. Happen to know if there are any quality LED’s that you can color change with Bluetooth on your phone or anything?

Here you go: ArcLightLEDs

These are switchable between red/white. Upgraded models also have a dimmer switch that you can set before placing your lens covers back on. The dimmers are not accessible once you reinstall the lens BTW.

I have the rear hatch lights sitting in their box yet. Probably get around to installing them later this week. AFAIK this is the way to go. Super well made. Pricey but worth it.
 
Not much:
1. Decided to take the RAV on vacation: ~4000+ miles through the SW visiting family & friends. Maybe some light snow. Should cut gas by 1/2. No off-roading, so I shouldn't need the Runner.
2. Got the Runner pretty much the way I want it.
3. No camping =staying in hotels.
4. Concentrating on my FJ40 right now=getting her up and running so I can sell her.
 
Walmart has everything, picked up a load of pallets this morning.

Just wrapped up my new 3" lift from Trail Runner USA.

Adjustable compression/rebound coil-over set-up on the front and adjustable compression/rebound on the rear with Dobinsons 3" lift springs.

An inexpensive kit compared to Fox, Radflo, King, and Elka, but most of the same features and excellent quality products so far. We will see how everything holds up once I have a chance to wheel it.

I used UCA's by Ironman 4x4 America; they are drop forged aluminum with standard ball joints; I didnt want to deal with uniballs on a daily. These are super high quality and simple to install.

Overall I'm very happy with the kit so far and would recommend.

Also added a set of Ark Splash Guards. These are excellent; easy to install, very sturdy, and fit to all of the factory holes.

Love it. How much did it all run you, if I may ask? (minus the splash guards). PM if you prefer.
 
2nd time this year....5th time since owning the 4runner. Shattered the glass but didn't get in.

ALso tried to steal my front license plate (again) and tried to steal my winch hook (my hook was hanging off the fairlead) and they removed the cotter pin but couldn't release enough tension to get the pin out.

I don't have anything valuable stored in the truck..

2 way alarm is going in tomorrow.....

If i catch them...:hunter:

5th time?!?
 
yup..unfortunately.

I live in a shithole apartment complex that won't provide adequate security, so i got homeless idiots roaming the parking garage at night.

Unfortunately, i can't just move either.


At first I thought we might be neighbors but you’re on San Diego. But, then again we are as we both live in California.

Fortunately I can garage my cars. Sorry this happens to you. Hopefully things change where you can move. I am hoping that they do for me.

looks sweet! you sure those are bypasses? or did you mean adjustable compression and rebound and a external resi?

F'n sucks man. My 4runner doesn't fit in our carport, but we are somewhat lucky that our apartment faces the main road and I'm able to leave it right out front. Hopefully things get better...or at least you complex ups their security
