Thanks man! I'm happy with how it came out although I do have some streaks. It's not perfect, but it will do till I can afford a sport hood. I'm not sure how many cans it took since my first cans got all weird half way through so I switched it up. I'd say around 1-2 cans would work just fine. The more coats the easier it is to remove, so overdoing it won't hurt.

Those are going to be blinding! I just installed two of the 3w LED's on my rear hatch and they're plenty bright. Not much room to work with on the rear hatch, so make sure you measure twice before you drill the holes.

Well this was saturday never looked to post this since I was out sunday and worked today.
Wanted to mess with the exhaust again I had a leak after the cat, fixed it, then a leak started before the car so had to play with some rust (as the hardware didn't look much like hardware anymore haha) just to put a new gasket in lol
But it worked out and now the 4runner is nice and quiet again

Long day yesterday. Firestone still can't get my alignment right. I'm sick of this truck pulling and I can see the + camber in the left wheel. I think they just suck.
Hate that for you? Do you have the lifetime alignment??

I've come to the conclusion that Firestone is JUNK. I spent 3 weeks with them trying to get the alignment on my '14 worked out and it pulled harder each time. Finally took it to an upscale independent import shop that has great reviews from all the sports car guys in town. It took them 2 hours to fix all the shit firestone did, but afterwards it was straight as can be and they set it exactly how I told them with the Caster.
The initial alignment they took was WAY off from the numbers that Firestone came up with. Told me the machine at Firestone was probably not calibrated and never maintained, along with a lazy tech who was happy with "Toe is good, so that must be good enough". I went back, threw my receipt on the counter and got my money back. I'll never deal with a Firestone again.
It may cost you, but if you want a quality alignment you get what you pay for. Try to find a local shop that actually handles modded cars. Maybe ask the sports car guys around town to see who does lowered alignments and racing setups. Just steer clear of the chain shops.

Hopefully it's fixed. My power steering pump was leaking badly yesterday when I came home from errands. I looked into a rebuild, but don't have the money to spend. I first wanted to try and clean the reservoir and changed the o-ring on the bottom of the reservoir. As soon as I took it's off, the o-ring was bad. It has a peace missing or it got smashed. It was only leaking from the top so I suspected to be the o-ring. I hope this was the problem because I hate oil leaks.
Something so small, creates something so big.
Here's the part#. New on L and old on R
I also bought a new OEM radiator cap, but the damn thing was too small for the radiator. This radiator is and aftermarket one and I don't know of that makes a difference.
