Not necessary to remove fender well if you just need to tighten antina.
but I found that out after the fact.



and don't know why this is not connected, I have the LMT ed. should have everything.

That is from the power antenna that you no have. Someone deleted it and put on a fixed antenna
 
Fluids. Front and rear diff in addition to transfer case. First time changing these in the t4r, wtf is with the front diff? Those bolts are terrible. I spent nearly an hour trying to get the fill plug loose. Stupid design. Thankfully the other two were really quick.
 
I finally got my new rear Savage Bumper. I have to say it is awesome and worth the wait. hardest part was waiting on the painting, I wanted install it off the UPS truck if I could.

cant say I don't like the bumper but what about the unfinished look it has since the rear trim pieces are missing around the corners?
 
I had a dream about my 4runner. In the dream my LED lightbar halfway burned out.

I don't even have an LED light bar lol. Dreams are weird, sorry for the over share.
 
I tried after market drums and rotors on my 2002 limited twice in three days. Could not get rid of pulsing. Once I put on OEM rotors and drums, all worked like new. Strange.
 
Just picked up my first 4runner a few weeks ago. First wave of upgrades / repairs include:

Tundra brake upgrade
SS brake lines
Lower ball joints
Upper ball joints (PITA never again...lol)
weather tech floor mats
...o yeah and painted that ugly wood grain interior

Still in progress: drive belts, airaid tube and filter plus deckplate mod.

After
 
I dont think it looks bad at all, some enclosed plate would be better but going from a swiss cheese rusty bumper to this is amazing. I personally thought the thundercloud under the black would be a nice combo, a bit better than the normal silver
 
As I type I am waiting for the final primer coat to dry on my new AOR bumper that just arrived today.

Edit: not sure why it keeps flipping the pic 180?

Stuck a new HVAC blower/fan in. The original still worked but always started to make a really annoying crackling sound on long trips.
 
Yesterday I backed into my garage at 3:37PM.

At 4:10PM I had it on jack stands with both front wheels and coilovers removed. With hand tools. Not too shabby...

At 4:32PM I pulled into the local Fedex Pickup location and picked up my ICON rebuild kits.

At 5:05PM I pulled in Auburn Offroad and dropped off my coilovers to be rebuilt.

I told the guy not to hurry, but have them done by next Friday at the very latest. I am anxious to get them back and see if the ride is what I hope it will be.

With the tire carrier my 4Runner barely fits in the garage... The grill guard bar is about 2 inches from the door, and the spare tire is touching my mountain bikes hanging on the back wall. I need a bigger garage.
