Pulled the fender liners to get rid of rubbing. Less than 5 mins per side! Most of rubbing are gone, but I could still trim the bumper a little bit since its close to the tires when turning. Dont be afraid to do this and fit bigger size tires haha.
Trim it flush. If your tire caught that huge lip, it will very likely do some damage to the bumper. Plus it just looks much better flush lol

This happened yesterday... I was driving home with my wife, and just before we got to our street, I
noticed thin white wisps drifting out from under the eaves of a house on the corner.
I said, That looks like smoke! I think that house is on fire! This was in the middle of the day, so there
was no one else in sight.
I pulled over in front of the house and already the smoke was turning brown and increasing in volume
by the second. Some was coming out of a window now too. I dialed 911 as I ran up to the front door,
banging on it to see if anyone was home (no). The door was locked so I couldn't go inside to be sure.
As we waited for the fire trucks to arrive, I moved the 4runner up the street a bit so I wouldn't be in
their way. Here's some video I shot:

It was pretty horrifying to stand there and see someone's home being devastated right before our eyes.
I talked to the homeowner later that day, and got a look at the interior. Most of the fire was upstairs but
the whole interior is sooty and reeks of smoke. Everything is soaked too. But at least they didn't lose all
of their belongings.

I love the idea of the replaceable rash ring. So far its the most "real" looking bead lock style ive seen also. I was trying to see the offset/back spacing diff between the pro wheels and these. If anything i would want the new wheels to stick out a little further to be flush/past flush with the wells. Any insight?
Changed my rear diff fluid w/ Royal Purple. I've been driving it for a few days hoping the shudder I get from 0-15mph (approx) was clutch chatter from the diff, but it's not. Still get the shudder, but it seems to be only when the engine is warm. Back to the drawing board on this one. I will say though, that it looks like my MPG has gone up after changing the fluid. I usually get no higher than 15mpg in town and now I'm sitting steady at 15.6.

Took my car to the tire shop to have the tires rebalanced today. While the wheels were off I did some inspecting. Found this awesomeness at the rear right. Looks like my shock is leaking pretty badly. Anyone had this happen to them?
damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
15,000 miles and I haven't done anything I'd consider "aggressive" off-roading with it either.

It looks like the banjo fitting is leaking. It’s an inexpensive Teflon seal. No idea if that shock is serviceable, but you may be able to bandaid it for a few more miles.

Go get a pair of tin snips comes out alot cleaner that's what I used its cleaner, quieter, easier to get straight lines, and it wont melt the plastic. You could use a box cutter too the plastic is pretty thin.

Gave my girl some new shoes and socks. 265 BFG KO2s + Spidertrax 1.25" spacers. Night and day in terms of looks, in my opinion. Slight bit of rubbing at full lock in reverse, but thats nothing a little snipping and cutting won't fix
What’s her name? Looks gooood!

I don't know that this will cure the issue but I've had great luck with Amsoil fluids. My FJ (6spd manual) trans was grinding in a few gears and shifting a little sloppy. I tried Mobil 1 first and that did nothing to help. Then ran Amsoil fluid and all the grind went away and it shifted alot better.
Thanks! Her name is Callistwo. My first T4R was named Callisto, so it seemed fitting to me :heh:

Threw on the new Ecotechne roof rack and some lights. I still have some wiring to do (most are already wired). So little time so much to do.
