I grenaded my rear end... Something in the spider gears let go and punched a hole through my housing... Fortunately i caught it before. Too much damage... No lock-up, no bearing damage, but still.
 
idk, stocks, so i think they are 430s... but ive never actually checked. there was also some other carnage that happend, but at this point because of some potential legalities im not going to say more than, im happy it happened to my truck and not a customers vehicle, time to go back to the drawling board...
 
Today i lightly nightshaded my taillights and 3rd light as well. All turned out well.

I painted mine............. well most of it. Didn't exactly do it today, but....

Like all anthracite runners, my clear was in bad shape. I previously painted the hood and hatch so it was time to finish the rest of it. Although I'll probably re-paint them when I do the passenger side.

Almost finished sanding.....

Ready to start spraying.

Immediately after removing the masking.

Everything back together with the new front bumper. The only thing to finish is the sliders. They had to be cut off to do the paint job. I painted them today so they'll be dry tomorrow and ready for installation.

All I did was change the oil and wash it. Should have adjusted the rear brakes, but it was hot and I was running out of time. Beer:30 was approaching and so were dinner plans. I'll adjust them sometime this week after work.
 
said what the hell and nightshaded the turn signals to, not to dark tho!

Cleaned the throttle body, installed a new fuel filter, and changed the spark plugs. She's a happy camper now.
 
I gave mine a pat on the dash after a dude in a Tacoma stopped beside me to compliment my '99. It was my first random-in-traffic compliment. :)
 
I took all the broken parts off the front of mine. I decided to rear end a undercover US Marshall on Tuesday. Now its time to find all new parts and rebuild her.

Removed the Running Boards today since my ShrockWorks Sliders should be shipping soon.

Thats a huge parking garage! I can park in only one parking garage and thats at the airport. Everywhere else around here only has 7 feet of clearance.

it's actually only the first floor that has that much clearance which is intended for buses, RVs, and handicap parking. My 4runner wont clear the other floors which i believe is 7'.
 
So, I got home from work tonight and dug in a little bit. Dis-assembled both heads. They're headed to the machine shop later this week to be hot tanked and decked. I'm going to lap the valves and re-assembled them myself.

Da proof :)
