Thank you :)

I will be repainting both sets of my wheels with the plastidip. I'm happy I have two sets now because I can't afford the downtime of my truck being on jack stands for a day.

I'm also thinking about these down the road :D

Ordered replacement idler pulleys from rockauto after destroying them in NJ. It will be nice to get rid of the constant bearing whining and belt slippage

Yea I just want to get that fixed and I'm trying to find lightweight water pump, alternator, and crank shaft pulleys as well :)

I'll send it eventually. Text me your address.
 
you can relieve some work done on that water pump pulley if you convert over to an electric fan setup. If you go that route though after experience with many single fan factory shroud setups I highly recommend a dual fan custom shroud setup. however when running without the clutch fan I saw significant performance gains.

if you can obtain the dimensions of the other pulleys you can A.) have a machine shop mill them for you. B.) correlate those dimensions on www.gates.com pulley catalogues speaking with one of there engineer associates is beneficial. but they have various material pulleys you can perhaps find what your looking for.

Great info! Thank you!

I'll be doing the electric fan eventually. More compact and I have some parts left over from my 427 cobra's cooling system
 
Organized my rear cargo area

Re: FJ springs & daystar rears

I noticed in top pic it looks like you still have a little front nose up ? When I put mine daystars on seem to have the ol rake again , has your's settled or is just the way the photo is ? Or maybe need to spin my coils the right way ?

Thanks for the kind words Jedi! Your rig is lookin great as well!

I love wheeling my rig but I try not to beat on her (hard to do when you're 18 haha). If I'm with people, I have a determination to make it over an obstacle unless there is a definite risk of damage.

The ice was scary as hell. I like snow much much more
 
Daystar rears

Yep remember good ol days myself as they say young , dumb , and full of..... be safe bro lotta wheeling ahead

Ill be keeping a look out for a review on the 42" from you. I was thinking going that big but ended up get a few smaller ones to see how i liked them first. Keep us posted.

thanks for the kind words, Its been a fun year building the 4Runner.

How does the Sub do with all the off-roading?

Keep up the great work.

Oh I'll post pics of the 42" everywhere haha.

The sub actually stays put! It's like 30 pounds. It has the black felt speaker cabinet cloth on it, so it doesn't slide

Can't wait for my bumpers and skids
 
I started working on my stealth backup lights.

Drilled into that useless coat hanger thingy

This way I don't have to drill into my headliner or anything. If this doesn't work, then I'll do the headliner. But I hope this works!
