Gave my 4runner a bath after its 1800 mile journey from California to Texas

Removed the tan pinstripes using the credit card method. The pinstripes didn't look horrible, just kinda made it look like an old man vehicle. I like the bare look better anyway. Also gave her a good bath.
 
put in 199mm front brake upgrade.

- remanufactured calipers
- brand new brembo rotors
- akebono pads

probably one of the better upgrades I've done so far (and all by myself). :)
 
+10 for cutting the windshield.


I am at the dealer now test driving a rav4 sport with my wife (no tire on back) and getting my Trans flushed/oil changed!
 
Wow. I like it. Funny you posted this today to because... I bought another 3rd Gen today that just happens to be hit (lightly) in the back. But it's rough overall. I'm entertaining the idea of doing a 1st Gen roof mod and half door mod and just wheeling the piss out of it. I'm good with a sawzall but I would need someone to weld a cage and metal into it to close up the open gaps from the cuts.

Exactly what I was going to do but sold my calipers to a guy on here. :thumb3:
 
4-Ripcord motivated me to finally get a pair of Bilstein 5150's for the rear. I originally wanted to get them last year along with the Toytec coilovers but decided against spending the extra money at that time..

The 5125's were not enough for those HD coils and the rear end was bouncing around quite a bit.

I installed my 5150s yesterday afternoon. Went over to a friend's fancy new garage that he built in his back yard. It was a good thing that he has a lift because the 5125's were rusted on at the bottom and required considerable force and cussing to get them off. :bash:

The 5150's felt pretty stiff at first compared the the 5125's but have tamed the "HD 3.5" Downey coils" I have in the rear nicely. Today it felt great and handled really nicely.
