What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Some people put a ziptie on the chain.

 

Here is the thread for the wheels.

THANKS!

 

That’s not a bad idea. I can’t believe they leave that thing dangle like that on these 35k+ trucks.

 

Alright but are they 7" wide? lol that's the problem. Everywhere on eBay list matte wheels as only 7" but those gloss "SEMA" wheels are listed as 8" wide

 

LED lisence plate lights. Hate the 3500k halogens. Used off the shelf bulbs from Wally World. Not my favorite retailer. But sometimesyippy gotta do what ya gotta do. No glare in back up cam. 1 beer job. Would be a half beer job if i had smaller hands and if getting it lined back up on install wasn't a pain. Again due to large mittens. Couple of points.
1) do not try to remove the original bulbs with the lights on. They ate HOT! Don't ask me how i know.
2) do install the leds with the lights on. They are polarity sensitive. If they don't light up flip them over. The leds won't get hot. Again... Don't ask me how i know.

 

The ones you posted that say “SEMA” don’t have a Toyota part number. Have to be careful with some of the eBay stuff.

 

It’ll never be a Pro. The VIN will prove that lol

 

You guys must be short for both of those children’s seats to fit?

 

If I'm not mistaken, they make those in matte black as well.

 

Yeah I’m 5’6” my wife 5’8”. My buddy @6’ can fit though but it’s tight.

 

I owned the 4 runner since early 2017 so I had both the 4runner and tacoma at the same time. both on road trips and off road.

I'll only be back when Toyota fixes their problem with the transmission. They gave me the finger with the TSB update however my next door neighbor who has a pro they did it johnny on the spot. WTF! I had the truck looking exactly they way I wanted it. But to make it right I would have to replace the shocks by playing the suspension game and not knowing if im going to like it. I played the suspension game on a 350z and swapped it out a total of 7 times dissatisfied realizing stock handled the best. The other thing was wanting toyota to fix the tranny/engine issues and not to have to go out and get an orange virus flash-----people were mostly happy with a few 100% satisfied but many not totally satisfied. other than the two issues i agree a great truck but they were issues i could not live with. maybe next time or maybe a tundra. For now I love the way the 4runner handles. I have bridgestone revo 3's on it right now. My Bilstien 5100s just arrived today. I need a 1" spacer in the rear and will be going 1.75 in the front which happens to be the same height as my tacoma before i sold it.....i am keeping the stock springs as I like the ride.

Like you said I will probably be back.....but not in a 3rd gen. Maybe the 4th gen will have a diesel

 

Hood Rock guard gone till winter. So far it's worked well.


Only chrome left on exterior of truck. Thinking about doing the beadlock bolts in blue?

 

@ArchitectJVM Don’t listen to him, your truck is badass and you should be proud of your hard work and efforts!

You are entitled to your opinion.

You are correct...it is NOT a Holiday. It is a day of remembrance and time for people to reflect.

Your quote on "sissyass" is offensive to me and I will take it. However, many folks do not understand the history of this date and it's importance.

What I am 110% in favor of is the fact that many folks actually take the time to honor our fallen brethren....if it happens a day or two apart, I am OK with that.

Tomorrow is a solemn day.

Respectfully,

Pop

I agree it will never be a Pro. Its better than a Pro because it looks exactly like one with an extra $10,000 in your pocket. Take any Sport or OffRoad, add a better than Pro suspension, SEMA style wheels, Clazzio Pro seat covers, Pro grille, DEPO brand Pro headlights and taillights and a Pro style decal kit and BAM you gotta Pro with thousands left in your pocket. I say this and I like the Pro. Just not the overpriced part of it. Can you feel my frustration that you cannot buy an access cab Pro.

 

Thanks man. Yea I don't need to prove anyone it's a Pro. I'm even proud to say I converted my Sport into a Pro, lol... and share to our brothers it's possible to be done. We are all entitled to our own happiness. Thanks!

 

The 8” eBay wheels are knock offs. The OEM wheels from the 4Runner Pro are 7”.
