I've decided to sell my 4Runner since it just doesn't get enough use. It's a solid and powerful vehicle and I've enjoyed it on the highway and the trails, but it's being wasted here in my backyard. Odo reads 225xxx km, and I add 50-100 km per week at most. The car is white with a gray cloth...

I finally picked mine up from the border dropoff point this weekend. Pro: look solid, the gray powdercoat is beautiful, and the shipping box was bulletproof. Cons: not compatible with my RCI skids. The center bracket interferes with the transfer case skid crossmember and, on the driver's side...

So, who's got their goodies and who hasn't? I know there were a lot of participants in this GB so there will be a delay, but I'm (almost) desparate for news on my sliders, I'd love to see them before snowfall... :-)

ORDER PLACED SO EXCITED! :guitar2:

Yeah, that or wash with a baking soda solution and rinse. I'll do that sometime soon... One step at a time, I don't go that fast!

I replaced this: That used to be the + wire terminal. It was completely corroded away. While I was in there I installed a new Motomaster Ultimate AGM battery.

I'm running 265/70-17 without a lift. Minor, minor rubbing at full lock or full flex. No trimming was done, I still have my mudflaps. Tires are Cooper Discoverer A/T3. For a short lift, either get the spacers or check out the OME low lift - see here...

I don't have any grinding tools at all, but I had a solder gun handy - and I'm pretty handy with the solder gun - so that's the route I took.

For the pot, I checked and couldn't find any that were low resistance. All the components I found started at 1 Ohm or more.

This post helped me a lot, thanks for taking the time to write it up and take pictures! I modified my relay module, but ended up with two resistors in series: 0.10 + 0.15 Ohm. I guess it depends on the specific LED bulbs used. When I turn on the flashers now, I get one short flash followed by...

Wash day (yesterday)! After a bunch of trails it was time to clean up. After getting all the dirt and mud off I can see how badly my front skid has been destroyed. Time to start saving for a new set of skids...

I took a big load of junk to the dump and then vacuumed the interior out. First time I've cleaned it in 6 months - looked pretty good afterwards!
