Hid lights installed

installed some Hid lights to the front of the stock bumper and learned about electrical in the process. Desert nights are going to look like daytime now

Finally got around to replacing my leaking valve cover gaskets. While I was there I replaced all my drive belts, upper/lower rad hoses and new coolant. And my battery wasn't holding charge so ended up with a new diehard platinum.

Boom ready for wheeling!
 
We tried

After deciding to finally get off my @ss and do the rear diff breather mod, not a single shop in town had the union fitting, so I had to order one for tomorrow. Then I got back home and remembered I still had enough window film left to tint the 2 front windows, which apparently sat in the shed far too long and somehow developed holes in it. :frusty:
So, its just gonna sit there looking awesome while I do yard work.

2Runner owned since August 2013

I needed a new daily driver and have always wanted a truck or suv but wanted one that had decent gas mileage, so I found a 2000 V6 4Runner for sale and picked it up. I immediately fell in love with it. I only wish it was 4x4, but then I can always do a conversion and DFW has tons of salvage yards, which Ive been spending some time at recently looking for interior items. Anyway things Ive done to my 2Runner recently;

New Catalytic Converter (someone decided to cut mine off in the middle of the night, I did have a fun week terrorizing people with the loudness of the engine though lol).
New Radiator and hoses
Bought new cloth seats to replace the destroyed leather ones and a couple bezel pieces for the dash that looked pretty rugged.
So this weekend I get to have some fun and wash the new seats , dry and install them.
Oil change as well, Mobil 1 of course
And might have time to replace the spark plugs and wires.
NGK's seem to be the popular choice for plugs, but what about wires, any thoughts?

And I also bought some Michelin All Terrains LTX-MS2 265/70R16 very nice tires, been driving around DFW these past weeks with the rain and snow
and these things havent slipped once.

I replaced both cats, Borla Cat back system, rotated tires and installed new lift gate supports. Took me about 3 hours due to rust, the absurd location of the 3 down pipe flange bolts and wiggling the old system out. Sounds amazing going back to stockish noise levels from a glass pack axle dump. I did have a a very odd work bench... a 2001 ezgo golf cart, 8 inch lift and 23's

Gave her a much deserved wash, cleaned the inside out, took the snow racks off and installed some shitty LED's in the headlights. Took them out immediately. Anybody know of some good headlights, not HID?

I couldn't see anything.
 
(actually Saturday) Replaced my CPS again.:mmph: :director: Denso this time. Hope it lasts. This is a f'ing pain on a S/C'd 4runner.
My hands look like I was on the losing end of a fight with a raccoon.

I recently installed a roller fairlead on my winch. Today, I added the Factor 55 Prolink to eliminate the hook.

A few days ago I installed some PIAA 510 lights that I bought for a good deal on Craigslist.
