Are these for manual transmissions too? I really don't know much about them.

You have a 5 speed? Not only am I blind and totally missed that, I'm also jealous. My last Toyota was a stick and was a blast to drive, as slow as it was!

No, the shift kit is just an auto thing. Carry on!

Suspension tweaking, Yota Lean

Trying to get rid of my lean...just picked up trim spacers from Toytec. Front 1/4” spacer was simple...haven’t put rear on yet...wanted to see how much Front only would help.

Hub to Fender Before
Driver Front- 23 24 -Passenger Front
Driver Rear- 24 24 3/4 -Passenger Rear

New measurement raised Driver Front to 23 3/4. Seems like more than expected from a 1/4” top spacer...guessing I miss measured somewhere but at least it is better. Now I need to do the rear and see how I sit....Also noticed my rear axle is not centered...will be readjusting panhard too.

You can just see the spacer in the bottom pic...

Slow shutter pic fun!

I was messing around with my camera while waiting on the tide to start to go out the other morning and thought this turned out pretty cool. Shot with Sony a6500, Sony FE 1.8/55 (10”, F22, ISO 100, manual focus).

Looks super clean man! How’s the light output on the 10” bar in the hood scoop? Too much light on he hood when it’s on? How’s it mounted?

And let’s see some pictures of that rear CBI with dual swing outs!

@MattJakobs Hood scoop LED install was awhile back. I added the link to the build list on page 1...it has been on the list of things to do...you got it moved to the top :-) Anyway, here is the link LED Bar in Hood Scoop Write-Up (3rd gen 4Runner)

Little glare on hood at all...if any it is below the scoop where I can barley see it or it doesn’t bother me. With that said the bar is still adjustable...turn up or down and tighten as desired. Light output is good and most helpful to me for close fill light but it does have decent throw. I am biased because my projectors are stupid bright to the point I intentionally aim them low.

I will get some pics up of the rear bumper soon.

Tonight’s project of 10mm driver rear spacer install is complete! This was a bit of a PITA to do by myself with OME 861s but I got it done...O’Reilly’s for the win with some spring compressors and a 3ft pry bar were my helpers.
I went for a short ride post install to let things settle a bit...measurements aren’t perfect but are better. We will see how they pan out.

New hub to Fender measurements
Driver Front- 23 3/4 24 -Passenger Front
Driver Rear- 24 1/2 24 3/4 -Passenger Rear

Also, steering wheel cover removed and rotated to dead center so my OCD can relax. Woohoo!

Last but not least...my ARB 50 refrigerator is dead...no lights on the display and interior light flickers. All fuses good, same thing with 12/120V. I took the back off and all connections look to be tight. I am guessing it is a connection near the display...ARB said they will repair for free if I ship which I still can’t believe but it is worth a shot. Well see how much shipping sets me back. If they really fix for free it is probably worth it!

@MattJakobs rear bumper pic as requested...the telescoping light has a coiled wire in the tube that allows stretch and is wired on-off-reverse in the cab with a master shutoff pendant on the pole for easy control while camping.

Looks good!

Welding just takes practice and try to keep everything is flat when welding it will help out.

The plan is to ditch the wire supports and make a bracket/support arm that swings out and supports each table from below so I can put larger/heavier items on the tables.
