New 2.5" MagnaBlow catalytic converter (CA CARB legal), so exhaust is now 100% done!
I've got plans to do my 231mm Tundra brake swap within the next month as well as new ball joints and some other miscellaneous bushings, etc.
My check engine light is on and it says my Idle Air Control Valve is malfunctioning. I figure I'll just disassemble it and clean it as best as I can to hopefully remedy it. If not, it's a 278 dollar part.
Also looking into plans to get a larger, bored out throttle body from LC Engineering to allow for more airflow and increase the effects of the intake and the exhaust, and best of all, MORE POWER!
So I put the LC engineering throttle body a little further down the list since it isn't quite necessary right now, but instead cleaned the Idle Air Control Valve. It's fine with no codes.
I ordered 231mm NHT Brake calipers that are powdercoated red and brembo blank rotors (pretty much what juiceboxer got). I originally ordered the cross slotted, but they're back ordered nationally and wont be available for at least two months. Still deciding on EBC Greenstuff 6000 series pads or Toyota OEM.

Also ordered both new O2 sensors but have yet to come in.
I found a Toyota specialist who runs a shop less than a mile from my house who will do a valve adjustment on my 3RZ. I've still got a leak going and I guess it's just the valve cover gasket which will be replaced during the valve adjustment anyway.
New ball joints on their way too, need to find out what's squeaking over bumps and replace the bushings or whatever doing so.
That LC throttle body is bored 4mm which sounds deliciouso aha.
Nice I love the tundra 17" wheels...that is what I want to get.
If I saw people vandalizing my 4runner I would beat them up and break their arm or something, then let them run away. Cause I know police dont give a shit unless it was something big.
Hmmm, thats what he tells me. He is my uncle and he supposidely has been there for like 20 years. I might have to call him and see whats up lol. He says he repairs Porsche's at the newport beach dealership or something like that.

I'd LOVE to have caught them in the act prepared, there'd have been DNA evidence left all over the floor if that was the case... stupid useless law enforcement... protecting the suspect.
Oh, and you can't go wrong with the wheels!

Fletcher Jones is a Mercedes-Benz dealership... so maybe he works at Newport Porsche on PCH? I believe it's a joint dealership, Porsche, Bentley, and something else...
The 99 tall springs are in.
