Timing belt and water pump, 200,694 miles, reckon I'm good until around 300k!

Fixed my build thread's dead/screwed pictures by re-uploading them all at 1200 resolution. No more weird super sized pictures that go off the screen.

Also added new picture albums:

* 2014-12-14 Joshua Tree National Park Trip
Coming soon - MOAB Pics !

figured out why driver's side was ish1" lower than passenger's... rear sway bar was bent, forcing left side down. removed it and the front one, measured ride height, 35 1/4" at all 4 wheel arches.
checked torque of pan hard bolts, rear shock upper and lower bolts, front strut bolts, trans mount bolts.
greased driveshaft.
removed 4Runner, Limited, Toyota from tailgate.
so much room to work
top rear shock

New tires went on yesterday. License plate went on yesterday. Custom fit sun blocker arrived yesterday and fit like a glove. Picked up all the parts from the dealership to replace the RR seal. Filled up the gas tank (fill up #2) and got an average of 18 mpg city/highway. Better than I had anticipated so far.
Today the timing belt kit comes in along with a breaker bar and OBD2 scanner that I can pair up with my LG G2 so I can start base line readings on normal driving conditions of the engine. Hope to be able to measure tranny temps as well to determine how I am going to install the auxiliary cooler (inline or separate). Probably going to start with inline and then try separate later to compare the results so I can put to bed with empirical data which method is better as it pertains to the 4R. I know a lot of people are concerned about the "strawberry milkshake" and would like to know (me included). I know...I am totally giving away my nerdy engineering background here.

Pulled the steering wheel off and replaced the turn signal with a new one (fog light capable for a future mod).
With the old one, every once in awhile I would be driving at night, switch lanes, and my headlights would go out. I had to mod the new one a little bit since the holes didn't line up exact, but it turned out great.

Got some stuff done
So getting ready to take off for an 18 day trip. Got the Rtt on, the shower hooked up and the inverter wired in.
Pretty happy with the tent, it is the autana-sky. We wanted to see the stars and this fit the bill.

We had to try it out so we camped out in the yard
Building a spare tire rack and extra gas can right now.

Last two days in evenings after work-
Pulled all the flare pieces (6 for rear, 2 for front) and painted them with duplicolor black trim paint... looks exceptional. Painted the plastic tray on the rear bumper with the stuff as well.
Plastidipped the rear bumper, the license plate insert, the hitch, and just finished the front bumper. Hopefully the dip holds up okay on the front, had good luck on my tacoma wheels for like 10k miles... but front bumper will obviously take more of a beating. Ah well, even temporary, better than faded gray and chrome.
