What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I got my bumper back from powder coat, so I put that on as well as some clear corners and clear turn signals. The turn signals blink amber...

Also got my sliders coated, just haven't had time to get them put on.

What was the name of the color or code that you used I am going to have to have mine powder coated as the paint is just not holding up for what I do with my 4Runner.

Thanks,
 
Just bought a set of brand new never mounted Goodyear Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure kevlar lined 60k mile tires, in 285/70-17 for...

$500!

Craigslist steal!!
 
Just finished installing the Toytec Ultimate lift with superflex springs in the rear. This was replacing my old Revtek 3" spacer lift ontop of stock springs with 238k miles on them and blown shocks :eek: Needless to say, I am a happy camper now! looks great and rides even better!
 
Tacoma front clip
Rem that

Turn signal mod
And hids in the stock blinker location

Besides running from a wife on the edge
 
Well it wasn't today, but last night i mounted some new (to me 50-60%) 285/70/17 KM2s on some tundra wheels in my garage, test fit, and did some fender trimming. She looks like a whole new beast now!
 
I just got back the emblems from chrome stripping and repainting to a satin black. It should look pretty nice compared to the peeling chrome emblems.
 
riggin her out

Today, toytec ultimate lift. In the past week, plugs, plug wires, coil packs, timing belt with all the pullys, water pump, thermostat and BF Goodrich mud terrain 265/75 16. Out of cash now, will have to wait to finish her out.
 
Pierced my trucks nipples today...

Hey you and I are in the same boat haha, just bought a supercharger and now I'm outta spendable money haha
 
Replaced the dash vents. I made a post about it. I bought some vent since the last ones were broken. When I put them in they were really loose. So I went to Lowes and bought a .56cent pack of nylon washers and they fit in really snug. Worked great! Next plans are to recover the driver and pass side seats.

Cleaned my IACV and throttle body. It runs much smoother. I've been trying to find out why I'm getting 13mpg and thought this could help. After seeing other people's corroded IACV's I thought it was worth checking out, but I don't think mine was that bad by comparison. Before pic (sorry I didn't take an after but it was much better)

Here's a question though. I found motor oil inside my plenum right after the TB. I had a bad pcv valve that I replaced in august. Could this be left overs or do I have another problem. I checked the new valve and it still seems good.

Check the TB again after 500 miles or so. If you find oil again, you more than likely have one or more bad valve seals. Notice any blue smoke out of the tailpipe when first starting up for the day? Losing much oil between changes?
 
No blue smoke and it doesn't use any oil between changes. We'll see. My passenger side valve seal was leaking. I tightened the bolts that were really loose. I'll check again to see if they need replacement. Thanks.
