Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By drobs: Any of you try sleeping inside the 4Runner? Whatcha using for a platform / mat / etc? Today I folded down the driver side rear seats, laid down in there and learned that at 6'4, I'm too tall. My feet stick out the hatch opening. Will try the passenger side next to see if I can lie down at an angle. The slide out cargo tray makes a really nice level platform from front to back,, I just put a memory foam roll down on top of that. Rangler nets over the rear windows so they can roll down and not get eaten by mosquitos. |

For those of you that ordered from RCI, did you get your Shipping notification pretty much immediately and then had to wait for like 2-4 weeks for you stuff to ship? I know they have their wait times but seems strange to send shipping notification if you aren't going to ship it.

So my Garmin Dash Cam 56 should arrive on Monday. I decided to go ahead and wire up the Parking Model cable today. So I should be ready to just mount the dashcam and be set.

Just got through this whole thread and lots of info.
I just picked up our New 21 SR5 Premium last Wednesday. This will be my 3rd 4runner. 1988, new. 2001 with 96k on it and this one. This will be the wife's DD and she has already voiced her opinion on how much modding I can do which is not much. LOL We drove a TRD OR and it was perfect for me but she wanted a sunroof and 3rd row seats, grand kids you know. I do have a few questions though for you guys. This thing has the LED fogs and dim lights from factory. The brights are Halogen which is a yellow color when on, looks stupid. I am looking for a bulb option LED or halogen which will whiten the color. Would prefer LED. Does the sprint booster improve the throttle response through the whole cycle or just off idle. Lag is noticeable to me, probably not my wife. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By jafrush: No no, its not bad at all. The plug is completely unobstructed, and once I added a hole I can get a wire coming out of the console like before. It was all of a 5 minute modification. I put the hole right in front of the lid, its not big enough to compromise the security at all.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By metalsaber: how easy was it? was considering it. Took 5 minutes. Theres a couple of bolts on the bottom of the console under the rubber/felt pad. The safe drops in and bolts down there. There are several options. The Toyota OEM for around $275, the chinese knock off clones for under 200, and the Lockrdown model for 300 plus. I went with the OEM. Mine has a small hole for a charging wire and access to the 12v outlet.  |

Anyone have an angle on a set of Bilstein 5160's? I know, more of an EE question (forgive me Mods) but as this is a 5th Gen specific thread I thought Id give it a whirl. Back ordered everywhere.

If your suspension is set up correct, catching air isn’t too bad. I’ve done it. Not to that extent, but I’ve left the ground a few times. A couple of that few were unintentional.

Installed Diode Dynamics LED reverse lights last night.
https://www.diodedynamics.com/backup-leds-for-2001-2021-toyota-4runner-pair.html I went with the crazy bight ones (720 lumen). What should've taken 5 minutes at most. Took 45 minutes when the LED bulb fell into the driver side tail light housing. Had to take off the housing to get it out of there using tweezers. Then found the DD bulb didn't really want to stick in the connector. Fiddled with it for awhile then finally got it to somewhat stick and put it all back together. Will see if it falls out on a big bump. Used this video to get the gist of the install:  4Runner LED Reverse Light Install Plus this article on removing the tail light housing. https://trail4runner.com/2018/07/27/tail-light-assembly-replacement-5th-gen-4runner/ |
