Connor,

Was Hawaii incredible enough to warrant putting a sticker of it on your 4runner? I would think you would need one of the Matterhorn on there as well if that is the case.

Need I say more?

Broke my drivers side mirror

Being stupid / not paying attention when backing out a spot in my buildings parking garage I clipped a concrete piller with my drivers side mirror.

The glass didnt break but the plastic housing did and the screw housing holding the glass backplace broke too. Tried to reattach and ended up cracking the mirror too much finger force.

Couldnt find a local replacement at the local parts store so got online looking. Cant find a heated replacement anywhere. Ended up ordering this one from RockAuto that didnt specifically state "w/o heat" or "non heated" and praying. Should have it Monday. $52 after tax and 2 day shipping. Not bad. Its "VARIOUS MFR Part # TO1320184 {#8794035770}" if the picture doesnt show well.

installed new EBC sport rotors...

Replaced the OME shocks that I put in with the lift with Land Cruiser Shocks. So far they are working well, haven't had a chance to flex them yet. Also made a spring retainer for the coils since I have not gotten longer coils yet. Still the 890s.

Son and I installed new rear coils and shocks. Got rid of the rear end sag.

Installed my new elcheapo driving lights.. Note to self, you get what you pay for and sometimes less. :doh:


Removed the rear bumper to get ready for the new one and the rock sliders to be installed tomorrow

I hear 'lightforce' lights are very good.

Rock Sliders on and rear bumper on. Next up paint. I know that the sliders are the shorties (58") but that was all i could afford at the time.

Finished breaking in my new gears in my front diff, drained and refilled with Amsoil Severe Gear 75-90.

Is that the 2nd gen rear tube bumper like JPB (not sure that's his username) used?

Indeed it is, I'm glad someone else decided to go this route

Extended the rear diff breather tube and changed the fluid in the rear diff and trans case with Mobil 1 synthetic. I'd love to do the front, but can't seem to find the dang fill plug! I've looked at pics from the tutorial, but still can't seem to find it. The diff is clean, so it's not covered in grime...any help/tips would be greatly appreciated!
The truck is a 2000 Limited if that means anything.

ETA- Found it! The fill plug on my front diff is on the front. The tutorial I was following seemed to have the fill plug located on drivers side of diff - like the drain plug. It always helps to actually break out the shop light when under the truck...
So I'll finish up the fluid change and start on the trans cooler this evening since the inline filter showed up in today's mail.

I mounted my GPS unit into an air vent in my dash. The vent had fallen apart, so I thought it was a good way to cover up the hole and to have the GPS mounted since it always fell off the windshield. What y'all think?
