No updates to report for the 4runner. Running smooth. Sitting around 193k. Went back and forth about trading for her a Tacoma...but then realized I'd never be able to build as nice of a truck with her specs again (at least not easily) so she's moving to show truck status. Gotta show her ass on...

:cheers: Thanks, man. Means a lot. Hard to believe it's even the same truck sometimes...

Yeah mine is all of those minus the comp pack (has the ZCP wheels, which arguably is most of the package anyway, the rest being the 10mm lower springs and some EDC setting which I could code in). And the DCT isn't terrible on these like it was on the E46 (SMG). Still prefer the manual, but...

Thanks, man. It's a great car. Only thing you really have to "worry" about are the rod bearings, but if you can diy a lot of the basic stuff (filters, fluids, plugs, belts, brakes, etc) you can budget for that job. It's not an urgent fix. Just something to think about. Otherwise, they are...

WOW. I haven't updated in a loooooooong time. First off, that list is done. Truck is sitting pretty. Not much else I can really think of. Maybe a roof rack and light bar...snorkel. :juggle: But the clutch is starting to act up at 187k (doesn't owe me anything) so that's taking priority...

Upcoming tasks for my spoiled 4runner... Shrockworks Dimpled Tread Plate slider install Driveline Fluids (Redline MT-90 for trans, Red-Line 75W-90 for diffs/tcase) incl. Mobil 1 5W-30 oil/ OEM Toyota filter change with 2nd Blackstone sample collection. RCI full skid install Wire Leather seats...

Anyone gotten their sliders in recently? Or updated shipping timeframe?

Thanks, man! Thought about going with black but liked the contrast with graphite.

New shoes for Bae went on today. TRD Pro graphite w/ Falken AT3W 265/70/17. Very happy. Looks like a new truck. Now to get her dirty or have a detail day??

PM sent! :reddance:

Haven't posted in awhile aside from updating the maintenance first page. But she's been doing great. Put 5,000+ miles on in the last month or so. Hauled a trailer of furniture up to New Hampshire and back and then visited family in Florida for the Holidays. Zero issues and 21ish mpg. Broke in...

+1 More pics of frame and undercarriage needed. Anyone sees a NJ plate they immediately think rust. It's the single worst enemy of these vehicles at this age regardless of miles, color or options. GLWS!

LBJ's done? And original clutch at 269k! Damn! I'm 100k less on the original with no signs of it slipping...guess I've got away's to go! That will be a starting point for any offers I'm sure as it's $700-1000ish. Timing belt/coolant/pulleys as well. Still. 5-speeds are the only way to go...

Thanks! And yeah she was a great car (sold a couple months ago). Picked up a motorcycle to replace her so been having fun getting into that. Lot cheaper.

Thanks man!
