Hey everyone. Have not been doing much on the 4runner lately but i did get everything in my rear hatch working.arty: The power lock, wiper and window all work now. What was the cause you ask. 2 broken wires where they come through the body into the hatch. So happy thats fixed. If anyone needs a rear power lock or a hatch control unit let me know.

Cut off the stock muffler and put on a Magnaflow muffler today. Nice deep sound, a little bit louder than i wanted but not too loud. I noticed on the drive home the low and mid range power seems smoother and pulls a little harder, nothing crazy just a smoother acceleration. Next power upgrade is the Airaid Jr intake and deck plate mod.

Pics of Magnaflow installed. I need to fix it my tail pipe hits the tow package now and vibrates at a stop.

Fixed the tail pipe rattle and got my rear spring isolators in :first:

Got a scangauge2 for the 4runner today. Cool little gadget for sure. I got it mostly to for the extra gauge data like better coolant temp, volt meter, mpg, and i hope it dies trans temp on my runner. The other stuff it does is cool as well like hp gauge, all engine data and reading codes if im on a road trip or wheel and the cel comes on.

Got some new toys today. The wife and I had lunch with my mom for my birthday and my mom got me the cree led spots lights i wanted they look nice and I cant wait to get the time to install them. When we got home from lunch and helping my wife's dad put up xmas light, I found my trail gear sliders waiting on the front porch for me. Double score:clap2: They showed up realky fast like 3 business days after I ordered them. Waiting for the mount brackets for them and i will get them on first chance I get which should be monday:dance:. Now I do wish I would have gotten the 4xinnovations for the kickout but thats ok.
We all love pics. Some of the new toys and some from wheeling with lofreqjeff, cr_codrr and a51young, not all taken by me.

I Just got those same lights in today. Let me know when you get them in, curious to see where you mount them and your wiring plan.

Cool, will do just keep an eye in my thread here i will post up pics after i install them, not sure on the mounting location yet. Either i will get the cbi brackets or i wiol mount the on the bump where the front lisence plate would go. I got mine on ebay. I guess they are from a company called Rambowill.? They look nice, solid, well made and sealed.

 

[jpshoe]

Yeah I'm doing mine in the same area. Haven't decided 100% yet. I went ahead and used some silicone seal around the lens cover just to be safe. They definitely look solid but doesn't hurt to add a little extra. Just don't seal the vents lol. Excited to see how they turn out!

 

[AZ4Running]

Yeah had some down time at work today so i worked on my sliders:clap2:. I got the right side totally wielded up and ready for painting and the left side is almost done but I ran out of time and then the wielder stopped feeding gas and wire?? So hopefully i can get the wielder working tomorrow and i can get time to finish then up and put on.

 

[AZ4Running]

Oh yeah got my sliders painted and on.. well kind of. I ran out of gas for the wielder so need to finish up the right side but they are mostly done, not doing anywhere. I tried to paint them with bed liner but it ran really bad so i did a coat of primer and 2 coats of flat black that matches the fender flares exactly. Need to get more argon and trim the front mud flaps to fit and they will be finished. I also got my custom trd stickers on, they turned out great. :thumb:

 

[sn0wrunner]

Stickers look good Neal! The build is coming along great!

 

[Chuckles89]

Looks like you have a nice crew to go wheeling with! :thumb3:

 

[AZ4Running]

Thanks snowrunner.
Yeah we had a good time, all we needed was a 4th gen lol. Good people.

Got a Viair 85P air compressor for airing back up after the trails, flat repairs and for all those other needs like inflatinb air mattress and tubes for camping and lake trips. Nest is a cargo box of some kind to store tools and equipment.
