4Running Daily's Build Thread

Looks good. Did they correct all the issues from their first try? Interior cleaned up nicely.

They did indeed. They even fixed the scratches I caused when I took it off roading. :guitar3:

They told me to wait a month before I go off roading again. So I'll probably pay off the paint job and start saving for my air locker.

I reset my EFI fuse today. I must say, it feels smoother. Whether it actually did something, or it's all in my head, that's for you to decide.

I have also begun gathering parts for my "Tune-Up".

So far I bought Brake rotors. Plan on getting tranny fluid, spark plugs and wires, seafoam, oil, and a fuel filter. And a couple more things that i'm forgetting.

Tune up days are always fun! Are down on the mpgs or just looking for it to run better?

Paint looks great btw!

My MPG's are in the 15's to 16's. So I think I can bring that up.

Ya I love the paint!

Miles: 157,299

What I did:
Replaced Front Rotors
Rotated Tires

 

[4Running Daily]

Payed off my paint job yesterday!

Worked today.

So I'm getting ready for my SoCal event that I started a couple weeks ago.
These are the things I will be replacing/buying.
1) Air compressor for just tires.
2) 2 CV shafts
3) Handheld CB radio, because it's cheap and it'll work fine.

Saturday I went up to Cleghorn and had a blast! So much fun on a perfect day. Have to plan another run up there eventually.

Now, there's alot coming up soon so stay tuned...

:hiding: "Is that an air locker hidden behind that couch?"

Well the 4Runner is staying where it is for a couple months. I can no longer deal with my current laptop. Now to save 2200 bucks without a job...

You don't really need a $2200 retina MBP dude. A perfectly good laptop can be had for $800-$1000.

I stay mac no matter what. If I spend the 2200 it'll last me through college.

Better last you 50 years for that price.. lol

That's the crazy thing though, what could technology possibly look like in 50 years.

This Macbook Pro will be outdated in 10 years easy.

They are pricey, but in my opinion, they are worth it. Especially if you work in any sort of video or graphics field. My laptop is a 2006 Macbook Pro and it's still running like the day I bought it. True, I've been waiting through many updates for the current smaller platform and it's been a tough wait because it is most definitely slow slow slow in comparison with the new ones, but it still works great.

I know they've become the trendy thing to buy, but I've owned macs since the first home computer and have yet to have one fail on me. That combined with their intuitive user interface, I don't plan on switching anytime soon. We'll see how they do now that they've become such a force and post-Jobs.

Great pics by the way!

X2!!! I bought my macbook in 2005 and still using it till this day. You might buy a pc for $800 but it will only last you a year or two. Keep up the great work on the 4runner!

So what, buy an iPad 3 to use as a laptop?
