1 Upvotes

5th Gen 2011 SR5. Leaks/drips from the sunglass compartment when it rains. The sunroof drains were checked and there were no clogs at all. Sometimes water comes along the bottom seam of the driver’s side door as well. Ideas? Solutions?

0 Upvotes

How do you guys/gals deal with this "feature"?

Leaving it there would attract the wrong kind people, removing it every time you park is a major hassle.

By making this removable, I feel Toyota created a problem where there shouldn't been one: All risk and not much of a reward.

πŸ”§ Modifications Tail Light/Rear Turn Signal/Backup Light Upgrade

0 Upvotes

First, I want to thank r/confuseddonkey32 for the suggestion on my front turn signals. I'm extremely happy how those turned out.

Now I'd like to look into upgrading my rear lights. I'd like the backup lights to be as bright as possible. When I back into my barn at night, it's extremely dark, so extra bright lights would be helpful. When I tried to upgrade those lights myself in my old Chevy Equinox, it caused the entire backup camera system to fail because the computer thought the lights were burned out. I had to settle for only one of them being the brighter LED. Suggestions on that would be welcome.

The more difficult part is going to be the brake lights/turn signals. I prefer amber rear turn signals, but I don't see any method of doing that without replacing the entire assembly with an aftermarket unit. I'm not there yet. This technically is my company's car, although it's permanently assigned to me and I plan on buying it from them when they retire it. What upgrades can I make to the brake lights and turn signals without replacing the entire assembly?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or recommendations.

Edit: 2025 4Runner SR5.

80% offroad tire swingout on, OEM+ look is crisp.

Next to no options for the 4th gen when it comes to these. Only found this 80% weld on kit and a bolt on
(+$1000 more) kit from somewhere else.

Installed because 285/75r17 don’t fit in the spare tire well and it looks sick af, sue me.

πŸŽ™ Discussion 5th Gen & Driftr Roof Racks

2 Upvotes

Bought a 2019 TRD Pro in the spring. Best vehicle I've ever owned & I'm thoroughly enjoying this amazing community of enthusiasts. Looking to do more camping, moderate offroading & general outdoorsing next year, so I've been reading up on roof racks.

Was wondering why I don't see much of anything about Driftr roof racks in the discussions. Look to be well made, good value, well thought out accessories, versatile etc. Is there a reason? Opinions or experience for those that have or considered them?

πŸ‘·β€β™‚οΈ Support / Repair 24' TRD pro passenger floorboard water leak.

Post image
4 Upvotes

Found a wet spot on my passenger floorboard. My 4 runner is a 2024 and only has 20k miles.

I Immediately assumed it was my sunroof drains and cleared them. They are flowing water perfectly fine as far as I can tell and draining outside. I checked the "filter" ends inside the vehicle in the front and they look super clean.

I dried the water and put everything back together. I then simulated some rain and poured water all over the windshield/sunroof and let it all drain, no issues or water.

This was all yesterday, I drove to work and it sat all last night with no rain. I remote start the vehicle before coming out once I get in I check the floorboard and there is another light damp spot. It is a small wet spot but also not dry.

I take all the panels out and when looking under the glovebox I found a piece of h/vac near the blower motor that appeared to be dripping slightly. I’m not sure what the piece is called but I assume it is my culprit. I attached a photo and circled the leaking piece in red. The water seems to be dripping specifically from the gray foam/seal.

The only variable that has changed is that I put a coupler and hose extension on my evap drain line for the water dripping on the frame issue. I didn't think this could be it but maybe it caused some clogging? I think I will remove it just as a test for now unless I am led somewhere else.

Let me know what you guys think. Thanks!

❔ Aftermarket Product Advice / Recs Holiday 4Runner owner gifts

4 Upvotes

I’m trying to find some Christmas presents for a 4runner Limited owner. I think it’s a 2020. It’s the last one before Toyota added CarPlay and the blind spot lights.

I’m trying to get him the aftermarket stereo with CarPlay. He’s mentioned a Hamilton radio. Is that still the good one?

He wanted switch stickers for the knobs that don’t work by the cup holders. He’s shown me ones with Mario Kart bananas and Back to the Future. Fake button stickers. Are there any good sites? I saw some on Etsy.

And a phone mount since he uses one in the vent and that’s no good when it gets cold out. I saw this one that isn’t on a vent. Etsy Phone holder. He likes weather tec but their phone mount uses up your cup holder.

Thank you for any help.

Hi All,

I own a 91 runner that I love, but I’m looking to get a fifth gen as a daily driver. I found one that I like a lot and seems like a good deal, but I’m not the biggest fan of the ARB bumper that the current owner put on it. Any suggestions on options available to replace an ARB bumper after the original has been cut and removed? Thanks!

Just ordered new 285/70r17 Falken Wildpeak AT4s for the 4Runner from Discout Tire. I’ve had issues in the past with them not mounting oversized tires because of β€œfitment issues”.

I’m hoping to find someone with a similar setup to mine and see what I can do to prevent rubbing before I take it in.

2022 trd off road, 2.5”front lift, 1.5” rear lift, Dobinson’s UCAs, Ark splash guards and mudflap deletes.

Edit: I did forget to mention I have the trd pro sema style wheels - 7” wide with a +4mm offset I think.

πŸŽ™ Discussion Who Runs an Off Brand Dual Piston Compressor

0 Upvotes

Recently had an ARB air locker installed in the rear diff, just waiting on some pressure. ARB is very proud of their compressor, like 3x the knock offs. As little as Ill use it I doubt Id ever go through 3 knock offs so not seeing the value in the ARB. Does anyone have one they can recommend as replacement? Want it to be dual piston as Ill also use it for airing tires.
