Has the IMS improved for you since you last posted?

I'd say they are marginally better than the 4600s with regard to harshness, but it's not a striking difference. Other than that, really not much difference IMO.

Didn’t like how dim these new taillights are in the day light when the running lights are on so added a bit more of a visible “hey, this 7k lb pig is stopping” visual lol
Ps, looks dim in pics but it’s super bright in person, especially since it only lights on braking

Got back fro Sedona, AZ yesterday. Did "Broken Arrow" & a couple of lesser known trails. Banged the RCI skids a few times. Ran great, no issues. Got 24 mpg on the last tank on the way home. All 2 lane 65 MPH roads. Saw this below "the steps". Can't for the life of me figure out how the did that.

Replaced the u-joints on my rear driveshaft and changed the front and rear diff fluid post break in as I just had them rebuilt and re-geared.
Finally found a good use for a pin that I had made on a lathe in fab class for a tube bender that never got completed. The pin is the perfect size for knocking out the u-joints. This will be in my trail bag for sure.

sad day, today I listed my 4runner for sale. 8 years of a kickass hobby and I can't thank this crowd enough for the support & help over the years.
it's over in classifieds if anyone is in need of a V8 around Philly.

Had to replace the rear brakes, passenger side caliper apparently seized as the pads were down to the steel while drivers side were excellent. Can't complain I guess, got almost 50K miles and 8 years. Replaced both rotors/pads and one caliper with NAPA.

Spring Time
Well, it's supposed to be 70-75 degrees this weekend...but to get us ready for such lovely temperatures, we got 14" of snow yesterday and though it was slop more akin to slush than snow, I somehow got stuck still driving on my driveway...BUT, there is nothing like taking the ABS connection off under the hood to really wake up that v8 and exhaust notes; freedom was owed and I'm glad she made it out!
