Lol. Looks good, but there's just something not quite right about a wood grain/carbon fibre motif. It's like an identity crisis.
 
I didn't physically do anything to mine,but the $100 rebate from Walker Exhaust (for catalytic converters) arrived and it's going to be used towards struts :nod:
 
I touched up my Stubbs Welding HD-SKO rock sliders with several more coats of Rustoleum Hammered spray paint. I also SeaFoamed the engine through the PCV hose for the first time. Wow! Great results. :D
 
reinstalled my bumper after a body lift.
rear diff breather relocated to fuel door.
replaced both cvs.

Alote of cleaning after taking her offroad with the wife n dogs.
 
I got an alignment after installing my lift. Then, I had the front windows tinted, finally :) I also went to the dealership to get a new key cut to unlock the doors. I didn't have a key for the doors, only the ignition. Tomorrow, I'll find a way to stretch the CV boots to keep them from rubbing.

 
Fixed my A/C. Changed the 2 rubber lines, swapped a couple o-rings on the lines I didn't change, and installed a new accumulator. A/C is ice cold now. Lets hope I actually found the leak.

Ahh... who needs AC this time of year anyways...

Glad you got it sorted so that if the weather warms up, you will be prepared.
 
It seems like my 4runner has to be in the shop almost every week now,

Got my front driver and pass seals done, Passenger Caliper unseize it, Front diff fluid change, bleed brakes, re-align my sonoran adjustable trac bar ( perfectly centre now), and a 4 wheel alignment.

Things still left to do, Upper and Lower ball joint, Head gasket leak replacement, and brand new 13WL brake pads, but right now she seems to be running top notch.

I hear a loud clunk when i go up random bump, or i guess suddenly drop from bumps, sometimes after comming at a complete stop, wonder what it is

... I stresses that I wanted OME parts only. I have seen replacement bumpers that were aftermarket where the chrome started to rust after a year or so. I said if the insurance company was adamant about using an aftermarket bumper I would probably just source my own bumper.

FWIW I put an aftermarket on about three years ago. I undercoated the back side of it and so far, no rust. It fit fine with some persuasion from ratchet straps. The original had rusted through due to sand collecting back there.
 
Gave the beast a nice bath and finally changed out the o2 Sensor causing my p0420 code and CEL to kick off. Never knew if the owner before ever did and by the looks of the old one, looks original. CEL and TRAC lighta are all off and running smooth now. Touched up the wheela roday for the forat time since getting em done. Plasti dip held up well on the few off roading tripa ive done recently. Surprised actually.

Are you sure you needed a separate key for the doors? I've never seen a Toyota that required separate door and ignition keys.

Yes, the previous owner had the ignition cylinder lock up. That was replaced at a dealership but I was only given the ignition key when I bought it. The doors still use the original key.
 
If the weather warms??? It's been way to warm in Texas for a while :)

LOL, oh I know. I was totally giving you the business. I grew up in south Florida. I know about the heat brother. Man, for a good chunk of time when I lived there, my vehicles didn't have AC. It was pretty brutal. I would be hating on life stuck in traffic in my sweatbox of an Isuzu Trooper hating on the lucky bastard in front of me with the his a window down in the dead of summer, no breeze. Yet, dude`s hair is fluttering in the wind tunnel of his Mercedes-Benz'so AC. It always seemed that other people with AC had nowhere to be, while I was drowning in my own sweat on my way to work.

Glad you got it fixed man.
 
Cleaned and re oiled my K/N... and before I forget on Tuesday gonna have the engine oil changed, had 3 belts changed out..
