What did you do with your 4runner today?

[OnMy2ndT4R]

Well, I took mine to the shop today for diagnostic review. I'm at 179k with original water pump, serpentine belt/tensioner/pulley assembly.

$1500 later, I've accomplished preventative mtc. Might need some advice on how to explain that charge to the wife.

Who built your tire carrier for you?! I'm digging the marrying of the aftermarket/OEM rear end-look!

Thanks, the guys at RSG off-road did it. RSG Off Road | Denver's elite 4×4 off road performance center. they are a local fab shop here in Denver. I really didnt see any full rear bumpers I like as most put the tire way over to one side blocking either tail light, so I started researching local shops. and the rest is history lol.
:lmao:

Replaced my marker/parking lights w/ Sylvania Amber LEDs. It was super simple and it amazes me that a shop wanted over $100 to do this. The game changer to do this job easily is a 17mm deep-socket! Undo the cable, pop the socket on, twist, and done. Rinse repeat.

I moved my license plate & waiting on some LEDs for it..
Moved my external CB speaker.

I think the tire carrier. How much did it cost?

Arb 2500

Got my ARB 2500 and awning room delivered and installed using some L-brackets from the hardware store

Hi riceandpho,

just curious... is the Aux battery (in cargo area) for a designated circuit e.g. frig, amplifiers...etc. And if so, what is it used for; accessory batteries are usually mounted under the hood near the primary battery, alternator and switching device...
I'm also curious about the NEG battery cable; is the main aux NEG cable mounted just out of view of the camera, the one that's visible looks very small for any heavy duty, High amperage loads... :shrug: BTW, the box looks very nice, great job

rig, cheers!

 

[riceandpho]

battery is wired with the front battery, no isolator used since i dont plan on playing with my truck off for long periods of time, the cables to the battery is all 1 gauge, the one you see on the side is just to my fan, didnt have the time to do it on the inside of the panel. wasnt planing on using a fan, just want to test it out if it even provide air.
i have 2 of the same group 31 battery, so it should provide alot of power to all 3 amps im running.

Understood bro! Just didn't understand what that really dark/black wire was for on the NEG post in the photo! :yo:

Wishing I could drive it :-( coils are sent off to Radflo for a refresh and re valve. Also doing new poly bushings in the LCAs

Looks great. Might want to consider getting some Four Treks mounts for your awning. I initially used u-bolts and L brackets and they bent while off roading. It wasn't a big deal to bend them back, but I didn't feel they'd last very long either.

I probably will...driving on the highway yesterday, I was watching it and there's a bit more movement than I'm comfortable with. I just wish the Fourtreks were able to mount on the factory rail. I wanted to keep it as low as possible and not mounting it to the Rola

Yesterday I got 4 Nitto Terra grappler G2s installed.
265/70/17.

Today I got a sport roof rack and installed it.

Tomorrow AM I’m picking up some 2018 Tacoma TRD off-road suspension.

I got the low-pro mounts for my Rola from Armour Tech off-road and then the Four Treks mounts that mount to the Rola. Couldn't be happier. Bomb-proof, looks better with the rack mounted low, and there's a lot less wind noise. :thumb:

Shrockworks sliders finally came in! bolted them up this weekend. Also mounted a light bar to the frontrunner rack.

 

[Jhayes]

I got some 2018 Tacoma TRD off-road suspension with 3200 Miles on it today.
I just installed it. Direct bolt in.
It gave me exactly 2.5” of lift. My runner is a 2006 2wd.

I don’t have pics yet but here are the specs AFTER driving it around.

Before measurements.
Driver- 33.75”
Passenger- 34”

New height.
Driver- 36.25
Passenger-36.5

Installed my new pumpkin android radio today. Hopefully it turns out!!

Got some info? :heh:

You mean the -5hp K&N air filter that gums up your mass airflow sensor.
Or the -2mpg tires making extra noise?

This is a 2004 V6 4x4 SR5 making all that noise.

All the info is in my build...http://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/210190-black-n-blue-build-thread.html

K&N CAI series 63 for extra sound effects.
A magnaflow muffler, 24"...no resonator...axle dump.
URD MAF.

XTP intake manifold and the larger 68mm throttle body.

That's about it.
