1" Toytec Body lift, and had to put those stupid bins on my roof after work because they were delivered today (to my work). Cancelled them over a week ago and Amazon said it was successful and I should see a refund shortly :suspicious: and then they show up, but I couldn't refuse delivery because, well, someone else in the office signed for them.

What I did today

Bought a new to me 1997 4runner Friday from a tow company lien sale. front end damage, it starts a run fine. Today I registered it and tomorrow I will insure it. I will start a thread when I start rebuilding it.
 
Did this on Saturday. New temporary shoes. I can't afford to keep them because I can't afford to fix what i would break if I wheeled them!!

Swapped my two 12's for just one sub-

Gained a bunch of space in my cargo area, at least 3 cubic ft. my old box was really heavy and bulky, i'm guessing it weighed around 80lbs. My new setup only weighs 30lbs. My rear actually lifted up a little more.

I think it sounds cleaner now too-

OLD vs. NEW

Any pictures of the finished product with the bumper on?
 
Reassembled my now freshly painted Tundra calipers, installed pads and hardware, getting them and the rotors ready to put on the 2000 SR5 Sport 4x4.

Got them for $110 at the local junkyard off of a 2003 Tundra extended cab 4x4. Bought a $6 can of Caliper paint by Krylon (yes, Caliper paint - funny what you find in the auto clearance section of wally world).

Built a box

Built a basic box for the cargo area. Very basic. Kind of a prototype. We'll likely build another one with drawers and properly brown carpet. :) Not too bad for a couple hours. Fits very snugly with the tailgate shut. Test drove it through a rutted out dirt lot tonight and it doesn't budge, and didn't make any noise. Happy enough for now.

Will try to remember and take one tomorrow. I tried to drill the bracket and lift it an inch but...failed. Bit was too small, drill ran out of juice trying to enlarge the holes. Found some smaller hardware to sub in but the weight of the bumper was just too much to support by myself and line up new holes. Should have put my jack underneath it or employed the help of the girlfriend.

So yeah, it's sagging towards the ground an inch but it certainly looks better than it did and I don't have to worry about cops on the way to work tomorrow being unappreciative of my dangling turn signals and lack of front plate.

For the sake of detail, my steering was extremely tight after install, unexpected since I only did 1" and didn't think the steering spacer was necessary. I tried doing the one bolt on the splines when I got home and nothing moved, released, clunked, or anything. So I touched the spline clamp part, gently, and it instantly popped off the shaft. So I guess the steering spacer was necessary after all. Got it installed (sucked, what an awful place to work in, and dirt in the eyes constantly) but haven't driven it since it was getting late and I had to put the stupid bumper back on. AOR bumper group buy ends shortly and hopefully the time to finished product isn't too long so I can be done with it.
 
I bought this for it (got it for $10 shipped, I love eBay lol):

How does the SC sound now? I just replaced my phelonic adapter last night and it wasn't horrible. Besides dropping a nut down one of the manifolds...:ybrick:

The supercharger sounds better but I realized a lot of my noise was coming from my clutch after I changed it :-( it's okay though I know I'm going to need that next the way I Drive lol

I also just found this in the back storage container was kind of excited but now I have to spares lol

Nice! I need to pick up a spare, but have been slacking big time. Glad it helped, I feel better knowing my oil is changed and adapter replaced.
 
Tranny went out, got new rebuild put in, runs like a charm again. Had new front CV axles replaced. Should be able to go another 20000 miles.
