I ended up paying ~$1200 for install with the dealership… Got a quote from third party mechanic for $1000, but they replied a week later. I was too excited to wait lol
Good luck!
I had takeoffs installed on my SR5, and love it. Way less “sway” when turning, speeding or braking. To me, it feels more comfortable and not as floaty as stock SR5.
Good idea for those who want a more affordable upgrade than aftermarket, and also want to stay OEM.
From what i’ve experienced, 17.26 MPG. However, my commute is mostly side streets with some highway driving on weekends.
The estimated mileage is definitely based on your driving habit, and not counting our reserve.
Reserve tank seems to be at 2-3 gallons, I’m tempted to run an experiment on...
Lighting upgrades!
Swapped out the cheap bulbs with Lasfit Switchbacks. Significantly brighter and liking the white DRL. Much more reassuring on my night drives, and they do look brighter than ever.
Then the Meso Customs lights arrived, so I had to install them. Here is the interior with...
With the sample size of about 1,000 miles, I've been getting 17-21 MPG -- honestly not sure if i'm fully 'broken in' yet and it has been tough to resist my heavy foot. lol
Full throttle on this truck is way too fun.
Had not thought about it until you mentioned it! Definitely a future upgrade, and I haven't found any options available right now. Please share if there are any or OEM alternatives.
The next thing I'm looking at for suspension are possibly Peak Suspension Summit Kit, or a subtle lift on the...
Swapped out the Tokico suspension, springs & struts for both front + rears today. Found a TRD OR set off ebay with 60 miles on them.
It’s actually a huge difference in handling and overall driving experience. Way less rollover and more responsive.
Bringing this thread back — has anyone swapped the SR5 suspension for TRD Off Roads? I managed to find some takeoffs… (full suspension and springs)
Curious on what differences i should expect, or if i’m missing any critical components before doing a swap. Any advice is appreciated.
My local shop had 14 E’s and ended up with 3 C rated the day I showed up. Decided to try out the E’s as they were $40 cheaper per tire and a complete set.
After a week of using it, noticed it was sluggish off the line and the E rated in rain did not feel good for acceleration, turning or...
Easy swap! Plug and play, carefully pop off the front top cover, unbolt the original horn and unlatch the cable. Reverse the order for install.
Be careful when transitioning with the cable, if you let it go — it can go fall to hard to reach spots.
Did some things this weekend…
Swapped out the OEM meep meep and got the Land Cruiser Prado horns installed. Comparison with upgrade and original.
Also added a Zekzoop Insulation to the hood. Aside from thermal benefits, I noticed it improved the hood floppiness at highway speeds. Feels more...
Appreciate that y’all! Your setups inspire me as well!
Went on a quick trail drive nearby with the wifey for a nice sunset vibes check.
That air dam tho. Lol
BF Goodrich KO3 265/70/17 on the stock SR5 wheels. Swapped the lug nuts to black.
Ended up with C-Rating, I tried the E-Rated for a week and it was too sluggish off the line. After one day of heavy rain, traction control went off causing the rears to swerve, which prompted me to swap.
See my...
Hi everyone!
Been inspired by a lot on here and plan on adding pics along the journey of being a first time 4Runner owner.
Fresh from the dealership
Learned real quick that tint was needed. Went over to TX Tint & PPF in Austin, highly recommend them. Got XPEL XR+, 50 windshield, 15 on sides...
