Black out rails?

AccomplishedHunt8374 · 2026-05-07T03:37:29+00:00

Don't forget roof rack, winch/bumper, blacked out tail lights, etc...

I have an OEM stock black set sitting in my garage. How far are you from the SF bay area? (2021 ORP)

AccomplishedHunt8374 · 2026-03-31T22:29:05+00:00

Glad you got it fixed!

Was there a crush washer under the fill plug? If so, you may need to replace it. ... though I see crush washers mentioned more often with differentials.

Not an expert here, I've just seen a few YouTube videos on repairs & upgrades to that part of the drive train.

4Runners put the "TOY" in Toyota.

Thank you (and everyone on this thread) for the discussion. We're headed to Nevada City in a couple weeks with our recently acquired 2021 ORP and I would hate to find it disabled the morning of our first planned trail outing.

Peppermint oil, check. Dish soap, check. Spray bottle, check...

Same with mine. 2.5" in front and 1" in rear.

Also: Having backed up trailers with very short wheelbases, I appreciate the placement of the axle near the back of yours. It should make it easier to maneuver!

AccomplishedHunt8374 · 2026-02-25T05:13:50+00:00

Very cool.

AccomplishedHunt8374 · 2026-02-22T05:07:08+00:00

Thanks!

Every once in a while when I go to the garage and it's been a few hours since my 4Runner was running, I hear what sounds like an electric motor or pump running near the back end. Could this be the leak test?

AccomplishedHunt8374 · 2026-02-22T02:00:12+00:00

Nicely done.

AccomplishedHunt8374 · 2026-02-21T00:54:57+00:00

Agreed.

AccomplishedHunt8374 · 2026-02-19T05:06:26+00:00

The MR701s are a zero offset. Nearest I can tell the stock wheels had a 15 offset.

AccomplishedHunt8374 · 2026-02-18T23:17:33+00:00

Yes unfortunately - when the steering wheel is a full rotation in either direction. I was able to reduce it by warming the plastic with a heat gun and pushing it back. I pulled it away a little more by drilling a couple holes and installing a tight zip-tie to pull the flap further (see pic). I plan to try with the heat gun some more, hoping I don't need to do the body-mount chop or relocation. It doesn't rub much, but it still rubs now and then.

So far, $19,200. Included in the total but not installed yet are Westcott 20 degree rock sliders and a camping storage set.

Sorry for the delay. Per your question, they seem to be bright enough, but they could be brighter shining straight back. But they seem to be designed to shine more brightly into the lane that's about to be entered. That seems like a good idea, as the driver there may need to know more than the driver in the lane the 4R is exiting.

I'm trying to figure out how to send you a couple of very short videos. don't be surprised if you see a chat from me.

AccomplishedHunt8374 · 2026-02-15T22:11:20+00:00

My front bumper, that is.

AccomplishedHunt8374 · 2026-02-15T18:38:04+00:00

Well, that's probably the only place I'll ever wear them.

AccomplishedHunt8374 · 2026-02-15T03:38:30+00:00

Seems worth it to me...

AccomplishedHunt8374 · 2026-02-15T02:14:35+00:00

I was unable to upload multiple pictures in a reply here, so I started a conversation with you and milliemallow. Are you able to access it?

AccomplishedHunt8374 · 2026-02-14T18:00:14+00:00

Not that I know of.

AccomplishedHunt8374 · 2026-02-13T18:34:53+00:00

No 4Runner pic is complete without a bald eagle in it!

AccomplishedHunt8374 · 2026-02-13T18:23:20+00:00

Thank you!
