What did you do to your 6th Gen 4Runner today?? 👨🏻‍🔧 🧰 🛠

[BonRunner]

Installed rubber weather strips on both front doors. This helps reduce wind & traffic noise inside the cabin. I can notice the difference lol.

I added these too and agree. Inexpensive, easy to install, and worthy mod.

Installed Ark front/rear splash guards. Install wasn't bad and didnt jack or remove wheels. Also installed TRD pro mud guards (wider/taller).

Gotta say this is my favorite thread seems like a good crowd and it's fun following along.
I'm not a long time 4Runner owner so some of this is kind of new for me.
I drive a '25 ORP and don't do a ton of off roading. I'm curious why people add lift kits out of the gate. Unless you do a lot of hard core off roading why not just stay with stock? Doesn't it make sense to try some off roading with the stock suspension prior to adding a lift especially on an OR trim?
If any, I would thinhk the Toyota OEM TRD lift is the smartest option.
I also don't get front leveling. I suspect Toyota designed 4Runners so they'd be more level with heavier loads in the back or when pulling a trailer.
I welcome and appreciate any feedback.

Really depends on what kind of off roading the person is doing, but on many low level trails the stock ORP is more than capable. I suspect many people just like the aesthetics of the lift and don't do any off roading. As far as OEM vs aftermarket lifts, that's all preference, many aftermarket kits are just as good, some better than OEM. You are exactly right about the level. By design the rake is forward for towing. I personally don't tow anything so I leveled because I like the level look.

Thanks that's mostly what I figured. I get the asthetics/tough ride look. I'm so inclined myself but think it's important to balance how you use it with reliability and longevity. I haul loads for trips to my mountain camp and tow ATV and boat trailers. So far it's perfect for both with the stock setup. I might do wheels and tires at some point.

Same here. Right now, mine is our family trip/my fun vehicle, but I plan on handing it to my Daughter when she starts driving in 5 years, so I want to keep it reliable.

Im still doing cosmetic stuff to make it "mine", larger tires but stock wheels, maybe a front level (WD collar kit) but that will be the extent of any kind of "lift".

Same I've done a bunch of personalizing mine. I wasn't thrilled with all of the new interior so blacked out everything I could. Also added convenience upgrades like LED lighting, dash cam, seat covers, and heads up display. The fun stuff!

I bought the the same thing and ordered the 4.75" Toyota badge for it. My 4Runner is not in yet so I can't test fit. Everything fit okay?

I like this idea. How much does the engine cover cost?

I paid $48 on eBay, but for some reason, they are like $150-$250 right now. Crazy. It's listed under the Land Cruiser.

I've watched videos on the OEM TRD lift it includes axles. Also, if dealer installed no issues with warranty. One of my concerns with aftermarket lift kits is more distance and angle on the stock axles. Do some aftermarket kits include axle upgrades?

Changed my in cabin air filter. With the forest fire smoke hitting the NE pretty hard thought it was a good move even if it's only 4 months old. My furnace filter which is changed monthly was nearly black. Used the GX550 filter as it's a nicer charcoal filter compared to the paper 4R filter. Cost with tax was $54.54 at the local dealership. Part # 87139-30110.

GX550 filter on the right.
