Haha awesome!
 
Fixed my slight steering knock/clunking sound today. I thought the inner tie rods were shot so I got some replacements and decided I'd do the lower ball joints too. Then I figured hell, I only want to pay for one alignment so I'll do my front lift at the same time.

After discovering the outer tie rod boots and ball joint boots were SHOT, I grabbed a set of new OTRs and returned the ITRs, as they were in good shape. I'm glad I got to that before disaster after reading some terrible stuff around other threads.

Everything installed:
2x LBJs
2x OTRs
2x OME 881s and 90004 shocks preassembled from Wheeler's. They are freaking fantastic! Fun day today.

Nice! How much did you get your OTRs and LBJs for?
 
They're just Napa's. Stamped with 555 though so I hope they'll hold up well. It was around $220 for both pairs of LBJs and OTRs. I've had this Runner a little over a year and it had two different outer tie rods on it!

probably also should have rebooted or changed your CV axle half shafts in conjunction to installing your lift..
 
I know some of you guys have upgraded your batteries to a bigger size with more cca, but I searched and can't find any definite answers what the best size is. I'm going with a diehard platinum. Which one should I get? I can fab up a mounting tray and all that.
 
The Good...
Seafoamed through the PCV valve
New PCV valve
Seafoamed the crank
Oil Change
New Plugs and Wires (OEM!!)
Cleaned all the Passenger side connecters in the engine bay
Fuel Filter

The Bad...
My intake tube is dry rotted around and cracked, when I put it back on it tore pretty bad by the inlet

The Ugly...
I had oil inside the air intake
My transmission fluid is leaking from the bottom of the radiator... No pink milkshake though

I have a ton of work to do!
 
Installed LX450 coils, finally got a coil long enough to work with the LC shocks. More pics and info in the build thread...
