Sitting at Americas Tire store while they put on a set 4 Cooper Discoverer ATP 265/75/16 tires. $654 out the door plus they are giving a mail-in rebate for a $70 prepaid visa cash card.
 
Gave it a bath. First time in probably 8 months. Still cleans up pretty nicely for being 16!

I don't have any good pics right now but I do have this one showing the tread.

 
Hit 90,000 miles on wednesday on my way to work (sitting at a stop light even lol). Called the local Toyota dealer and dropped it off with 90,008 miles and they did: timing belt, water pump, complete coolant flush/refill, power steering flush/refill, brake system flush/refill, transmission flush/refill, tcase flush/refill, front and rear diff fluid changed, engine oil and filter change, new power steering belt, AC compressor belt, fan/alt belt, new upper and lower radiator hoses, tire rotation, and 3 new wiper blades. Ready for the next 90,000!



One from last weekend at Breckenridge after snowboarding...

 
Today I "raced" an automatic '07 Tacoma that has a cold air intake and flowmaster super44. I have a 2000 4runner sr5 5 speed manual bone stock other than my Mickey Thompson tires. He only barely pulled away from me as we hit 65-75 mph. It made me feel great haha.
 
Hilux Snorkel
Savage Skids
Replaced all gaskets on my headers
New upstream O2 sensor
L.O.F.
Next up - 1 inch TT body lift.
Month away - Tire swing-out

Man! Your putting together a clean look. Very Nice!!
 
Took about an hour and 1/2 this morning to install the first part of the lift.


5100/TRD combo in the front on my 2001. After work I'll throw on the 890's and then monday get the Dura's installed with an alignment.

I have to ask how much that hurt the wallet. :thumb:
 
Went and got an alignment done after replacing the inner and outer tie rods on both sides the other day—plus put on 4 new tires yesterday. The tech was impressed with how close I got it back and knew I had counted the turns well.

It felt good before the alignment, but I wasn't going to risk effing up new tires, so I sprung for the alignment. Rides nice as can be now.

Worked on this some more:
P3077077_zps56svw6qy.jpg~original


Got the bracket in, figured how the compressor's going to be mounted to said bracket, got to go get a grommet for the hole I made to run the braided line through, got much more to do that all that....

Built some multi-use (bike/hike/run/horse) trail with 50 other people today and pulled a Chevy truck and loaded tool trailer out of the muck and up a small incline afterwards with the 96. Both those activities were....satisfying. :biggrin2:
