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

theres room behind the OEM weather strip to run an antennae wire. driver side has my antennae wire, passenger side has 2 small wires for dust lights on the back of the rack. you cant see the wire, and the weather strip sits in place just fine. if you pull the weather strip on the roof rail you can tuck them in that, then re silicon it down with a weight holding it and you dont see the wires at all until the roof rack hides them.

Thanks! That is what I do right now. I have a pair of S2's on each side and a pair of rear facing squadrons ont he rack, so those gaps are filled to capacity. Was just thinking about the KC wire hider if I ever wanted a light bar up there.

Im serious. I thought about removing this plastic colder to gain more room but unsure if it'll look finished and complete.

here's what it looks like. you can obviously see where it inserts, but I've never used the tissue holder and now I have more storage room

Actuator Motor - Door handle issue arises

Today I replaced the front driver's side actuator motor on my 2017 4Runner.

Seems to be a common problem with an easy fix. I used an old post from the forum, which proved to be a big help. The process was fairly simple and all seems to be working. My door now locks and unlocks with my key fob.

HOWEVER, now my outside door hand is non-operational! Not sure what I did, but I must have knocked something loose. Probably an easy fix, but I have not had a chance to research the problem.

Any ideas????

Just did both front doors yesterday. Likely that metal rod that comes down into the hole on the actuator. See this video at the marked time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=855&v=NgGl87pyhH4&feature=youtu.be
 
Installed 2021 ORP LED low/halogen high beam headlight assemblies and Diode Dynamics SS3 Sport SAE yellow fogs onto my 2017. Very happy with the results.

Late to the reply here.

what console safe do you have?

I had a console-vault on my subaru, thinking of getting the one for the 4runner.

lockerdown console vault. they make two versions for the 5th gen. I have the one that doesn't have the electronic lock. fitment is great. toyota also makes and OEM one for later model 5th gens. the lockerdown I can confirm does not restrict access to the three pronged outlet if you have a limited trim
 
Removed the crappy stock inner splash guards and replaced them with Rad Rubber Design. Took maybe 20 minutes from beginning to end. These things are super beefy with nice hardware. 10/10, recommended.
 
How difficult is this to install? Will they plug right on to the non LED harness?

Super simple. I recommend removing the whole bumper, but I didn’t because I have a hidden winch mount that sandwiches the bumper cover. There’s a video on YT that shows how to do the connector swap, that part literally takes just a few minutes. Just remember to test the lights before you reinstall the bumper because you may have to reverse the wiring in the connector.
