Disabled my DRLs and also threw my new ultra yellow bulbs into my bumper mount lights. Pretty damn bright i must say.

Finally had my guy install the trans cooler and t-stat. Threw some of the china LED lights I had sitting around in the corners. The white really looks good on the corners! Adds to my LED lights on the bumper. No install pics since most everyone has seen install of a trans cooler. Hopefully the t-stat will help my MPGs go back up a little.

Changed oil pan gasket while the front diff is out. Tomorrow I'm tossing the front diff back in with an ARB locker and 4.88s. I can't wait to test it out this weekend! Shop has been working on the diffs for 2 weeks now. Originally just supposed to be the ARB locker but found busted gears up front too.

Why just repair when you can build it stronger? Cuz it's way cheaper! Dumped 1/3 of what it'd cost for a good SAS. FML:bash:

Doesn't look so good for a white Christmas in these Northern parts of Colorado...:-(
Thought giving my rigs a bath might help.

Nice pictures! If I may ask, what sliders do you have on the rig? Also, what kind of MPGs are you getting with those Duratracs?

Hell, I could have had a sas with diamonds fr/rr by now! You'll love the gears and ARB though.

Getting ready to park the old gal, I just got a company car. Now I can focus on making more of a trail rig for fun weekends, vs. a daily driver.

I removed the chrome fender trim and running boards yesterday.

Replaced the front passenger side differential seal and put on my new Tundra 231mm brakes.

instantly sexier!!!

 

[LittleCaesar]

Changed the 11 month oil using Val Max Life Full Syn 10w-30.

Tried to find where my ATF is going (level on dipstick drops slightly) to no avail. No leaks at the hoses nor milkshake.

Is that painted or being peeped to be painted? Looks interesting

 

[Judge Smails]

Picked up the new wheels and tires.

 

[99 sr5 highlander]

Pulled out a huge 8000 ford excursion from some gravel with my little bitty 4000 pound 4runner.arty:Excursion recovery vehicle achievement unlocked!

Also saw a girl gawk at my back window rolling down

 

[Blackdot]

I changed all the fluids and switched over to Redline. What a difference mt-90 makes in a standard transmission. Lubed the driveline and changed out the fuel filter, what a PITA. Also changed out the lower ball joints for some Toyota OEM. Trucks happy I'm happy!

[Ol'Blue]

Replaced the HVAC control unit, new over head garage door opener replaced, fixed the cup holders in the back and also found the head light assembly I have been looking for!!!!

 

[Evilmunkey]

Put on my rear Rough Country Shocks since 4WheelParts/Daystar have yet to deliver my leveling kit (1.5" o' lift), man the T4R rides lie new, alot stiffer ride but I like it. Can't wait to get the front struts on when the kit gets here.

Got a quick question. I've been noticing lately a slight burning smell when getting out of the 4Runner after driving. Haven't been able to pin point it but seems like its from the front end somewhere. I've had a leak in my driver side CV boot for a while now, could that be causing the burning smell?

 

[PitbullRescuer]

Drove it. I've only put 166 miles on it in the last 6 weeks.
