Took the family to Everglades National Park today. Thanks to [MENTION=123965]paulndot[/MENTION] for recommendations. Walked parts the Shark Loop Trail and got to see some awesome wildlife and gators. On the way back even took the scenic route across from the Taimiami road (gravel off road trail) and got to lube up the front differential for the month. Too dark for the vehicle pictures but was nice to have the 4runner have some fun in its natural habitat.

Nice gator photos.
Most don't realize how fast gators can be because they look like they are just really lazy.....don't let them fool you!

As many times as I've been to So FL, I haven't been to ENP....will have to make that trip next time.
 
Can't wait to see the end result!

Installed 2014+ tail lights on my 2010. Love the new look.

I also removed my front sway bar, not by choice. Last night I attempted to remove my front links to replace them with the disconnects. I was able to loosen up the nut on the upper portion of the link no problem. The lower nut loosened about half way and then the allen hole in the stud decided to strip out :redbrick: I attempted to use vice grips to stop the spinning, but that proved pretty useless as well. So I decided to just take the whole sway bar off so I can work on it in a much more comfortable position than the ground. I may end up just cutting them off.

I'll probably hold off from re-installing the sway bar until I install my UCA's and new front coils.

Yesterday I saw this sweet lifted new Tacoma on the way to a Subaru meet with my buddy. While there, one of the Subie guys pulled up in his other toy, a pretty sweet Tundra. He had a King suspension, 35" Toyo M/Ts, custom bumper, BudBuilt skids, retrofitted HIDs, Doug Thorley headers, custom exhaust, and some huge air horns among other things.

That looks great! Any plans to match the rims with dip too?

I'd like to do the same but also do the door handles. I think I'll test the handles first to see if it interferes with the keyless entry feature.
 
Yesterday, I helped [MENTION=44305]weeeee[/MENTION] put a K9 rack on his TRDP. After some bolt fiddling and some beer drinking, it was on and it looked gooood... :D

Matte Black Vinyl Wrap emblem and bumper

ICON suspension is still on back order. So I wanted to take care of the silver portion of my front bumper and do something unique to the front emblem.

Installed 5160 and 6112 and got an alignment. Had a lot of issues with the top nuts on the 5160 and actually getting the coilovers in and out of the shock tower but managed to get everything done in about 6 hrs and little over an hour for the alignment.
