What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

[Unner]

^^That sucks. What happened? Any damage to the 4Runner other than just the front bumper?

 

[Mr.B]

new wheels! used tires. whatevs. ill be buying new tires when i get back from yuma in 2 months.

Not trying to pick or anything, but you should really have a jackstand under that side as well. Just because it is still on three wheels doesn't mean it can't fall to the side the wheel is not on...

There's absolutely zero chance of those paving stones crumbling to nothing and allowing that wheel to come down. None.

Tinted the front windows and threw on some window visors


And a little ice from my trip to Texas last week

 

[jawga4runner]

Clean look Docs4runner, the tint was the last thing I did to mine. I've been looking for those mud flaps everywhere. Nice truck

Just that bumper damage in the picture. Waiting for insurance to give me the go ahead to get it fixed. The other car was a PT Cruzer and the front driver side wheel well completely caved in locking tire in place and shifting so much that the driver side door would not open, the girl had to get out the passenger side.

I'm very impressed with how well the 4Runner stands up to an accident. If it wasn't for insurance I would have just got some paint and sanded and resprayed it myself but since her insurance should cover it all I'll get it fixed and looking good again.

Did my inner tie rods and got 650lb springs put on my Kings. Rides so much better. And I didn't even mess up my alignment.

Nice job, though I wish you could have spent another $50 for some 6ton Torin jack stands to make yourself a little safer.:juggle:

Oh come on those blocks perfectly safe! :wacko:

Tonight I replaced the IAC valve, the PCV valve. I no longer have the idle dropping to 4-500 rpms and dying. Now its idling high at 1700 rpms.... I hope someone can give me some idea of what it is......:boom:

Anyone else heard of this?

 

[adkins]

I looked at mine and thought "I wish it was warm and I had my lift in."

 

[Cree]

Got half of my holster setup in the mail. Hopefully the the rest of it tomorrow.

It's common for various reasons after cleaning. Did you reset the 'puter for a start?

On mine it was the throttle plate sticking against the wall of the throttle body. I'd cleaned out the gunk that was apparently lubing and keeping it from sticking. A washer fixed that. Not saying that's your situation, just one of the ones that happen.

Put in green LEDs on dash! Some hot spots on gauge cluster but doesn't bother me too much. Looks way better in person

I was going to make a note...lol..I ran it for 15 minutes. Drove it a couple miles up the road, restarted it and wham...better than ever!! :rockon:

 

[StreetCreeper]

Put on new inner and outer tie rods today. The passenger outer had worn out so much that I couldn't remove the castle nut because the ball joint was just spinning with the nut.

I then tried a pickle fork that did nothing. Finally got desperate and really cranked down a pair of vise-grips on it. That did the trick and I was able to get my impact on it and break it loose.

I should add that the inners & outers have 366k on them.

And yes I know I have a torn CV boot. Haha...
