Where did you get your antenna mount?
 
Installed a lot of new stuff!

New LBJ's, and TRD/890 lift with Tundra bilsteins all around. I LOVE the look, and it rides great, just need to get the alignment done.

Next up is fuel filter, and PCV valve. Just ran out of time for those.
 
Have only owned my 4runner for a short time, its been in the shop getting a engine transplant, and it seems to be taking forever, racking up those labor hours :violin:

But I browse these forums, and other websites looking at parts daily, more than likely increasing my anxiety over it being in the shop for so long, so yes I dream of doing things to my 4runner every day.
 
Made a mount plate out of 1/4" plexiglass for my blue sea fuse block. Can't believe how easy plexi bends. Thanks for the idea [MENTION=57546]4-Ripcord[/MENTION]. Still deciding on exact placement. Wanna leave room for breaker.



 
She feels like a trophy truck!

Swapped the front sway bar end links to the back because my driver side rear broke from flexing offroad... back isn't so jittery now, but dat lean doh! Feel like I'm driving a trophy truck! Doesn't seem so bad really. Actually seems to help in turns, I think it takes some of the pressure off of my 255/85R16 tires so they don't lean so much. Basically putting more vertical force on them and a little less horizontal... that might be way off base, but that's my butt-o-meter measurement of the day folks. Front doesn't seem as stable at speed... we'll see how that ends up panning out. Looking into WabFab front links or from the guy here on the forum, as the bank account allows.
 
There's a few waves out this way haha. We've got a little wind swell going on here. Futureflex technology on that? I've ridden my buddies shred sled and it was pretty fun.

I'm mostly on lost boards but wanna try a few other shapers out and there's a few local shops to here that carry some Haydenshapes

Yeah it has the future flex, and its great! Really strong and allow a great amount of flex but still holds on deep turns.
I had a Mayhem sub-scorcher and loved it, one of my favorite boards. I highly recommend haydenshapes if you find one, I love the ando model
 
I just did some simple stuff today. :-)

I managed to change my t-case and rear diff oil. Drain and fill my transmission, and strip out the drain bolt on my front diff. :brick:

I've got a 2 week trip to El Salvador coming up and am ordering some boards so I may try and see if I can find a deal on a Hayden shapes. I tried fireworks a while back and the flex of those feel too funky, I like a little more stiffness under my feet. My go to board right now is a Sub Scorcher Pro (more commonly known as the II) and that thing is a blast. Super good for that small summer stuff with some hidden foam to get you going. From there I go to my Roberts White Diamond(very short and very fat), Sub Driver, Driver (with a pin), and Mini Driver. I've got a Rock-Up and Beach Buggy on the way to help me in El Salvo... I need to stop ordering boards as I just cycle through them.

I'll definitely try and get a Haydenshapes under my feet again though. I know they have a ton of good flowy shapes and you can get them in poly so I guess we'll see where that goes.
 
watched a lady walking her dog let it piss on my wheel, felt like yelling...hey lady can I come piss on your car
don't think my boss would like that

other than that, just looked at it today, thinking about next weeks camping trip and am waiting for my new roof rack to show up from UPS which was supposed to be here Friday....did not happen
 
fixed broken wheel stud finally...friday night

Got a couple o' boxes from Sonoran Steel! :madgrin:

Tokico shocks that are now offered with the 1.2 lift kit to replace the Billsteins that came with the 1.2 back when I bought it 6 years/almost 70,000 miles ago.

Poly rear body mounts. All the bolts came loose without a hassle!

Replacement bushings for the 1.2 panhard bar. Just maintenance.

Air bags to help the squishy springs when we're really loaded down.
