Cleaned throttle body, changed PCV and grommet...

half ass cleaned the MAF cause I stripped the screws holding it in place. sprayed front and back through the airbox. it's single digits outside where I'm working so that shit can wait
 
Got my 18" magnaflow welded on. Surprising boost in power and response! Little louder than I expected, but that's fine for now.

New Denso plugs, new PCV valve and gromet.

Ordered new AFR and O2 sensor nuts, and lower ball joint bolts from stealership. After seeing snivelous and fightman's bolts shearing off in the past week, and reusing my old ones when I did mine, I'm replacing them with new OEM ones.

Tomorrow I'm doing oil change and fog light mod.
 
Found a pin hole in the rear diff cover. Ordered a new one from Barnes 4x4. Hope to get it done this weekend.
 
Finished said dome light mod.

Worked on this bad boy all day yesterday. Prime-sand-putty-sand-prime-bondo-paint. Color matched to my custom Salsa Red Pearl/metallic. I bought the grille used off ebay. I payed too much for that hunk of junk for the condition and the spray bomb paint they used on it was a nightmare.

Finished the install of my Toytec ultimate lift. Looking forward to my wheels and tires coming in. Once they are on it I can see if I need to adjust anything and then get it lined up. I gained 3 3/4" in the front and 3 7/8" in the rear. I still might put a spacer in the rear to add another 1/2" or so.

With a huge amount of help from [MENTION=111469]sterbenlicht[/MENTION] yesterday, we lifted, mounted and balanced tires, and replaced my steering rack. Pictures coming soon
 
I am definitely interested in one of those harnesses if you are going to make more.

As am I if they're not super expensive.

I see you guys own 2000 4Runners. Unfortunately I am not familiar with the front map lights on the newer 3rd gens. If I could get my hands on a newer map light unit I am sure I could figure it out. I am not sure if the dome lights and cargo lights are different as well. At this time I am confident in my harness and contacts only working for the '96-98 guys but if that changes I will update.
 
Installed OME 891 yesterday. Now for the eibach coils and the Bilstein 5100's tomorrow with the diff drop. Feels like a completely different truck!

Before heading to the Nevada desert (Burning Man) at the end of the month I plan on replacing the front end links and making sure everything is nice and greased up.

How are you liking that Curt Basket? Do you still have it? How has it held up? I'm thinking of buying one soon, just curious about it's quality.

Thanks
