Great looking rig. I agree with the above comment on widening the track width. I was hesitant to install spacers at first but I found quickly I had no choice with the rubbing and i think the look and stability is worth it. My build thread has my before and after with 285/75/R17 all terrains on them so you can see the stance change if your interested. Again, super clean truck!

Nothing major in recent days. I finally got around to installing the B&M Tranny cooler a few weeks back. I also picked up some new plates...
And a random photo...
I'm looking to install a Defi Trans. Temp Gauge, if i can find one for a decent price. I'll be replacing all of the ball joints| Suspension Bushings| Axles here in the next few weeks in order to get ready for my trip out to Big Bend National Park...|Stay Tuned|

4Runner looks great man! Have you considered getting a scangauge versus just a temp gauge?

Thanks! I'm currently running the Scangauge II, but for some reason I can't get the Trans Temp to display.

Did you put in the code to make the trans temp show up? It will not show up right out of the box

I didn't know it could be done, but then again, i didn't look to much into it either. Thanks for the info though!

My girlfriend and some of our close friends finally made it out to Big Bend National Park. I had been wanting to go out there for the longest time and finally got the chance. We had to do some wheeling to get to the campsite the first night. We ended up doing a 12 mile trail hike for the 2nd night. I would encourage anyone who loves the outdoors to go and camp/hike there! Enjoy the pics!
My Buddy needed a quick jump before heading home...

I decided to do another trip on the fly out to the Alpine/ Marfa Area yesterday. Just myself my dog and the open road. The weather was pretty nice so I took full advantage of it, not to mention I Finally got a chance to stop by the infamous "Prada Marfa".
And this...

I haven't made much progress since my last posting. I've been doing some research as to why my driver side rear leaned more than the passenger side and decided to pick up a OME Trim Packer. I finally installed it, but it looks like I need a few for to level the side out.
...I also went ahead and out the WabFab Sway Bar Endlinks on as well
More to be done in the days to come...|Stay Tuned|

Its been awhile since I did anything to the Runner. I figured since my brakes needed to be changed in the front, that it would be a great time to upgrade to the 231mm Tundra Brakes. I pretty much followed this guide:
>>>http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/94923-hard-find-specs-info-measurements-231mm-13wl-tundra-calipers-rotors.html<<<
Originally, I opted to go with the 199mm (13WE), but last minute decided to go with the 231mm (13WL) calipers.
I decided to with OEM Rotors and Pads/Shim Kit.
...The Wife's STI looking mean.
