Some little things I did: -Auxito LED reverse lights. Honestly I thought the difference would be more noticeable, but it's not that much brighter. Perhaps helps a bit, but was hoping for more. -rear diff fluid change (Amsoil severe gear 75W-90) -new rear lift struts for tailgate. I noticed...

Was excited for this one for awhile. I bought a RTT. Direct from Alibaba. It was around $2200 CAD with a bunch of customized options, thicker mattress, LED lighting inside, power bank, custom logo, and custom metal plate detailing outside. Also came with a solar panel (which I've never...

Some little things before I took it for the required provincial inspection. When you move between provinces, in order to register and insure it, it has to pass an OOP (out of province) inspection: - Added mud flaps - new windshield - new steering rack - installed all new roof rack hardware (old...

4runner update Wow! Time flies fast! Over 2 years since I've logged anything here. Right after I did all that work on the 4runner, we moved to Alberta into our first home. Right in the Rocky Mountains. Lots of offroading around us, although to be honest, I just work way too much and...

Sorry, I've been completely absent from this forum until now. The paint job ended up being awesome and I'm happy with the end result. I'll try and post some photos on my build page if anyone is interested. Yes the colour is awesome for not showing scratches, but I really like the muted...

Hello, I would definitely be interested in selling mine. I don't use it at all and never have. It's in brand new condition. I just don't know how much shipping would cost from Sumas Washington to where you are in California. Can you pm me, what you're willing to pay for it and I'll look...

Thanks guys! Appreciate it. I have a few really cool things planned for the next couple months that I'm excited to share also.

Retorqing and alignment plus maintenance After everything was installed. I retorqued everything and used a paint pen to mark the bolts (excpept the cam bolts and tie rod ends). I drove the vehicle late at night when there wasn't any traffic to the Toyota dealership and dropped it off. I...

Front suspension I remember from doing it before that the front would be more difficult so I left it for last. Parts to uninstall -7 year old JBA upper control arms (5 year old BJ's) -7 year old OME 885/medium nitrocharger strut assemblies -inner tie rod ends -outer tie rod ends -original...

Rear suspension Parts removed: 5 year old dobinson's C59-677V coils 7 year old leaking Fox performance series 2.0 sthock for 2-3" of lift. 7 year old 2nd gen 4runner sway bar end links Parts installed: Dobinsons C59-701V coils Fox performance series 2.0 sthock for 2-3" of lift. new 2nd gen...

swingouts After the bumper was installed I installed the swingouts. At first I wasn't sure how strong the 4x4labs design would be for attaching swingouts, but I'm impressed. The square tubing has a sleeve fit inside and the bolts just barely go through the attachment and the arm. It's super...

installing the 4x4labs bumper So first of all, I thought this would be much quicker than it actually was. It's not hard at all, but I have some tips to make it easier for you guys. No instructions came with the bumper, but I emailed Luke and he emailed me the instruction document. It's...

Receiving the 4x4labs rear bumper First of all I have to say that Luke and the 4x4labs team are amazing to work with. The only slight knock I'd have to say, was that they didn't communicate any delays to me, and I was always initiating the communication, however, they were very responsive...

Christmas in April Well, there's so much to say! All the parts I had ordered finally arrived and I spent 4 FULL DAYS working on the truck. I'll elaborate on the install and the products but here's the list of parts I installed: Front suspension: -JBA upper control arms -Toyota OEM lower...

nice build This has to be one of the cleanest builds I've seen on here. Every detail looks perfect and you can definitely see the OCD come out in this build. Very well done. Can't wait to see the build as it progresses.
