New trail edition 4runner

titanpat57 · 11-26-2009, 06:05 PM

Hi All,

Just a quick note to introduce myself. I'm a truck guy from way back, made a bad mistake with the last vehicle and ended up with the 2010 Toyota Trail edition. I hear a lot on another forum I frequent about the Toyota duribility.

First impressions are that's solid and has many nice, well thought out ammenties. It was a fluke I even ended up with this....I had been in contact with Corey about getting a FJ, and my brother in law suggested this...and I'm sure glad he did!! (Thanks too Corey

)

I have a list of mods to start with..all small stuff, but will make this a trail machine at some point...right now it's the daily driver.

Here's a few pics

Welcome! Bet you could subsidize your monthly payment by letting us take test drives for $20 a pop!!

You bringing that thing to the Toy Run?!?

(I am assuming you live close if Corey talked you into a vehicle)

If not, ROAD TRIP!!!!!

Very nice! Can't wait to see the results of the mods new 5th gen owners do.

LOLOL...souds like a good way to pay for it!

I'm actually on the East Coast..but really envy you guys with all the natural forests around you in Washington...we have to drive about an hour or so to get into the "big woods".

I only know Corey thru his great write ups on his FJ and camping gear, which is very informitive and well thought out. Mt interest peaked a few weeks ago on an FJ being sold locally..But he and another fellow thought I could a better deal on something better equipped, so it all worked out for the better...waaaait a minute..

DAMN COREY COST ME ANOTHER 12 GRAND!!!

lol..jk

I'll try to post any mods that may of interest to others...I look forward to being able to go "out and about" again(not just grassy surfaces), and in style ..

Thanks all, Pat

Also wenrt and got the hitch goodies to connect to the trailer just see what was up with that..very happy

I am really liking the new Runner. I just bought an 09 Nissan Frontier in May as I didnt want to pay the super premium for the Tacoma as I really didnt care for the styling all that much.

That being said, I think my next rig will be a 5th gen 4runner. I will give it a few years to work all the bugs out, maybe pick up a 2012 or so. No sense trading in the Frontier and losing my a** since its under bumper to bumper warranty for another 2.5 years.

titanpat57 · 11-30-2009, 04:00 AM

First mod...proper phone holder

Couldn't find a phone holder to fit in the right spot or suit my needs soooooo...I pulled the front cupholder out, filled it with Rocktite, inserted my old holder stem as it dried and waa-laa...perfect fit holder

Next>>>>Port exhaust out the side and add addtional tow hook on back frame where it SHOULDV'E been!

Hey PAT, My Man! Im in Rhinebeck. You have to meet up with me. I want to see your rig. In exchange, I'll do a photo shoot for you! PLUS. Everyone here will love to see the underside of that thing... PM me.!

HazMat · 12-07-2009, 06:20 AM

I think i like the looks of the 5gen more than the 4th. I really like the wheels it came with too. Nice rig man.

titanpat57 · 12-07-2009, 05:24 PM

Hey...you go around once...lol

Thanks guys!!

Love it to date...even put Chritmas lights on the roof rack...that's a handy little item those 400W AC plugs.

Couple things coming up....

Add additional battery

Remote start

Diff breathers

Make some LED back up lights with a remote switch

Tracey98277 · 12-07-2009, 09:41 PM

i hear the 5th gen trail edition has selectable front and rear lockers and crawl control. is this true? if so... screw modding the '95. i'll take the punch to the wallet and get me a 2010 TE and put 33's and an exhaust kit on it and call it good... those TE's are an expensive 4runner.... but i'm tempted.

No joke that would be awsome. It would take some real balls to chop the top of a new 30K+ car though.

yeah it would. if i was going to do that to a new car i would take it to a body shop and drop the $$$ to have them do it.

titanpat57 · 12-08-2009, 04:12 PM

lol..you guys are right though...looks cool as all hell!!

Nice concept, maybe someone could sell the idea to Toyota for an even trade of Trail Edition to hack up!!

KZN185W · 12-11-2009, 02:39 PM

titanpat57,

does the manufacturer's plate or sticker show the vehicle code?

Thanks

titanpat57 · 12-29-2009, 04:59 PM

I'm not sure if this what you are looking for?

lol..what the hell you got to be jealous about....I just checked out that Taco of yours with those MT's and that thing is friggin' sweeeeeeeeeeet!!

KZN185W · 12-31-2009, 03:16 PM

Thanks titanpat57. The vehicle code is located at the lower part of your sticker. It's GRN285L ..close to the 3rd gen's VZN185L & RZN185L (KZN185W and KDN185W)... a return to its roots? or maybe the P265 tires should get replaced with LT285s The paint code is 1F7 while the trim code is FA13. The axle code is A01B while the transmission code is A750F
