Toyota 4Runner (5th gen, 2010–2024): 52 mm gauge pod for the cup holder – no drilling

Description

For the 5th-gen Toyota 4Runner (2010–2024), including TRD Off-Road and TRD Pro: the pod drops into the front cup holder of the centre console and holds one 52 mm gauge – e.g. transmission temperature for towing or coolant temperature off-road.

• The insert follows the tapered OEM cup holder, clamps with crush ribs at the bottom and rests with a collar at the top – no rattles, no drilling.
• Round: turn it toward the driver in the holder.
• Tilt 45 or 60°, a pedestal carries the cup, an M3 set screw secures the gauge.
• The cable leaves at the back above the holder rim.
• Prints without supports.

Fit: holder shape taken from a freely published 4Runner insert, our part is not yet tested in a car.

Crush ribs absorb ±0.5 mm; too loose: felt tape at the bottom of the insert. Bore +0.4 mm, check with the test ring.

Dimensions

Dimensions of the default variant in print orientation.

Material and temperature

Location out of direct sun: PETG works, ASA as well. Still no PLA – a parked car gets very hot inside.

Print orientation: Insert down on the bed, cup pointing up.

Safety notice

The cup holder sits in the lower centre console. The pod must not cover or obstruct the shifter, 4WD dial or controls – check after fitting and turn the pod further if needed. Install at your own risk. Never mount in an airbag deployment zone, never cover controls, never restrict the view. Follow the material and temperature advice. Add-ons may affect the type approval of the vehicle (§ 19 StVZO in Germany); keep edges in the head and knee area rounded (UN Regulation No. 21).

Not an original part. No affiliation with the vehicle manufacturers named; make and model names only indicate fitment.

Holder shape Ø 87.5 → 95.9 mm over 63.6 mm taken from Printables 1089081 (CC BY-SA, dimensions only), our part not yet tested in a car; according to the maker the shape fits both front holders. Lower centre console next to the 4WD dial; whether a knee airbag is fitted is not sourced – the cup holder is not in the knee zone.
