oil change and fixed a fuse for my baja designs pods. I have an RCI skid ready to install but I was wondering if you guys would wait for the full set to put it all on at once? Or just throw the skid on and piece it together?

*I have yet to purchase the rest of the skids. Hopefully in the future.

Throw it on now, the front stock skids are pretty weak. Especially the one under the oil pan, its like paper thin.

you right you right!

I did a whoopsie without even trying lol. A single piece to replace the front two skids skid is also going to prevent this from happening, since there won't be a seam to grab.

Took her to a trackday over the weekend! Towed around 400 miles total (coming up on 200k!) and camped out inside during a pretty massive storm the night before. Oddly enough, my gas mileage didn't take a noticeable hit when towing. Guess that's how it goes when it's already sh!t

I was able to get my front brakes replaced along with sway bar bushings. Failed trying to get the front output shaft seal replaced. I was able to get the front driveshaft off but couldn’t get the nut off of the flange for the T-case. Not enough leverage or torque! I’ll try again this weekend on a lift. My spring compressor should be here tomorrow and hopefully I can get my front coil overs done and total chaos UCA’s rebuilt next.

Put a new air filter in.

Which LEDs did you get...and are you happy with them?

Replaced the center console AUX port,

FYI you don't actual need to remove the center console.

Pull off the bezel and stuff around the shifter,
Reach in and disconnect it from the rear.
Then push it rearward towards the back of the car and it will just pop out into the storage compartment.

Got my front output shaft seal replaced. Things went way smoother with a lift. Sorry for the wonky pics for some reason this place flips them all weird.

I considered doing the Plasti-Dip on my front and rear emblems but ended up painting them with primer and then a semi-gloss black. I like how it turned out. Then I got brave and de-badged the tailgate. Being my 4Runner is 14 years I was afraid that once I removed the letters there would be the infamous “ghosting” of the letters on the paint. Well.....I am happy to report that it was possible to get rid of any “ghosting”. Once the letters were removed (with a heat gun and trim tool) I used Goo Gone to remove any tape residue, them I used rubbing compound by hand to do 90% of any ghosting removal. Honestly there wasn’t any on the doors and on the tailgate there was just a little where the 4Runner emblem was. I then used my DA polisher and a little “Finesse It 2” to restore the shine on the clear coat and Voila...In less than an hour I had the entire vehicle de-badged, cleaned and polished. Very happy with the results! Thank you previous owners for taking care of the paint and garaging this gem of a truck! My next project is perhaps the wheels.

Dropped the trans pan, did new filter gasket, fluid flush. Easiest auto trans service I’ve ever done. The drain plug was really nice!

They were recommended in another thread that I can no longer find. They seem to work well, they are much much brighter. Also super easy to install, though I will say that one of the high beams was somewhat of a challenge to get to "click" in on the connection, but other than that it was fine.

35% Window tint. Looking good!
