New tires

It was a week ago today, but I got some used Yokohama Geolander A/T-S to replace the baldies on my 1996 4Runner. They're really nice so far :D
 
Washed off all the WD40 and winter gunk off of it!

Installed Bilstein adjustable struts up front and used '99 tall springs all around. 1" lift! Living on the edge!!
Removed trim around the wheel wells too, it makes it look a little better I think.

Autozone rental. $55 that you pay up front and get returned when you return them. They were very fast and easy to use. Sprayed WD40 for the lubricant.
 
Changed from "Winter" mode to "Wheeling" mode which means off with the studs and running boards and on with the sliders and Claws!

Received my tranny cooler ahed of this weekend's install

Got in a B&M 70268 which I will install this weekend when knocking out my Surf Sports Grille, HID headlights, Surf tailgate and rear view mirror covers. Also ordered seven grille clips from the stealer at $3 a pop. My company gets a discount though so they'll come out a little cheaper. :thumb:

Can't tell you how excited I am about this weekend!:naughty:

With the nice weather today, I started to install the new HID spot lights. One is installed and tomorrow the second one will go in and get wired up. I was able to drill a hole in the lower lip of the front bumper so no extra brackets were needed.

I also washed all the winter gunk and salt off. I also tackled the Runner with a clay bar, Meguiars paint cleaner, and polish. Tomorrow is wax since I ran out of day light. If any bird decides to poop on it in the morning before I wake up I'm puttin' a 9mm through its bung hole. And it just started to drizzle out. :ybrick:
 
Had some time before the rain came so i took off the running boards
