You should do the body mount relocate. I think you're gonna have to cut way more than that.

What did you do with your 4runner today?
- Thread starter NorthGa4R
- Start date
My just-finished look didnt last long..
Spent some time last 2 weeks installing the diff drop (surprising difference, my cvs are just about parallel), rebooting both axles, sway bar relocation. Installed the victory 4x4 ladder, gas can, relocated shovel mount, blah blah blah. Then I pulled off my spidetrax spacers and listed wheels for sale. Have a guy coming to get them Friday.
With that said.. i also installed a 1" body lift, pulled off the nfab steps, did an aggressive body mount chop (not welding it in, cant see too much of a point from a structural perspective.. ), cut and beat in the pinch welds in the fender, trimmed the fenders a bit, did the front diff fluid change, installed some ditch light pods, etc.
The tires have delivered and wheels should be here tomorrow.. pretty excited to go to 35s... but it was a late night wishful decision when I couldn't sleep...and well...35s...here I come... lol

Sick! Pumped to see the results.
Changed out these upper coolant hoses with OEM hoses and clamps.

Worked on test fitting my new wheels. Got these 16's to clear the big breaks with a 1/4" spacer. Super pumped to get to run them.

Also removed fenders and began sketching out a plan for pinch welds, body mount chop, and fender trimming. 35's should be here this week! Picking up suspension tomorrow.

Those wheels are rad :hatsoff:
As far as a relocation.. it would be nice, but I'm going to try and see first. I'm prepare to chop it more (because after getting grinder happy I realize that the back side of the chop I did was completely unnecessary and my cut is about 35 degrees off from where it should have gone. But hopefully the wheels show up today and I can drop them off to get mounted for tomorrow and then test and see what happens. The wheels are 17x9 -12 offset which puts the face out just as far as my current setup with 1.25" spacers with only an additional inch in width so I am really hoping that I can stuff it in without too much more modification. Clearing the control arm is my #1 concern, all else is just more cutting and hammering
its a salvage 4runner brought back to life so I am not against doing either :guitar3:

Added some more usb quick charge/12v ports in the whip. The ones up front and back are hot all the time and 2nd row is with key in ignition.

Thats awesome. Do you have any issues or wonder if all those "hot" ports will kill the battery at some point? I mean they are low powered, I get that. I just thought of doing the same!

Hey not yet at least! Haha.
I bought the expensive battery at o'Reilly's, some heavy AGM battery. The back panel is actually on a kill switch, so I only have it on when I need it. As for the front it's only the voltmeter that is on all the time which I'm sure gives little draw. It's also my daily so it's being turned on every 1-2 days at least.

I took my 06 6cyl to a mechanic for a second opinion and got confirmation that I have a blown head gasket. That was a lot of fun...
Only 145k on it, RIP.

I spent all of yesterday taking off all four calipers, cleaning them, replacing the seals, and putting them back together. First time touching brakes, but learned a lot.
Now I get to spend the next few hours working through getting them all back on, and then flushing and bleeding the brake lines for the first time.
After all that, I'm replacing all four O2/Air Fuel Sensors. I want to do a writeup with pictures on that process as I struggled to find any help with that process anywhere. However, as I just created this account, I assume I can't create a thread yet because I need to post a few replies first?

Awesome that're planning to make a writeup! You need like 10 or 15 posts to start a thread, making meaningful posts like this is a great way to get to the post limit. Its pretty much there just to prevent people from making an account to just post 1 thread then leave.
For pictures, I upload them to an imgur album, then you can click on the image and copy the Linked BBCode link. Linked BBCode will allow the reader to click the image and get redirected to imgur to see if full size if they want. Regular BBCode will not, so I always used linked. You can change the size of image with the sizes at the bottom. On the fly, you can also change this digit marked with the * to t=small, m=medium, l=large, h=huge. Large and medium thumbnails are usually what I go with, the huge will get automatically downsized by the forum but will have a bar to expand the size to be huge. See below
HTML:
*
[url=https://imgur.com/ZJWbGDu][img]http://i.imgur.com/ZJWbGDul.jpg[/img][/url]
small (fits 8 images per line), medium (fits 4 images per line), and large (fits 2 images per line) examples
Huge (only fits 1 image per line) example. Downsized by forum to large size, bar at top allows to expand.

Thankfully, you're not along on the stuck front diff drain, happened to me too. I ended up welding a nut on there to get it off lol

You need one of these. Not sure of the name. But it came right off with ease.

Although a torx bit will fit, its technically a 10mm allen key/male hex socket. Awesome that you were able to get yours out, California rust free must be nice lol. Me not so much, had to weld a nut on mine. Posted a pic a few replies up
