After puttin on the new plate bumper, i decided to spliced the blinker and corner lights together until indecide to get some l.ed blinkers for the bumper or just get some switchback l.e.ds for the corner lights

 

[magicT4r]

Damn,i need one of these in my life!

Looks good, but dude Maglights are obsolete. Pick up a high-end LED torch and it will blow you away. I recommend FourSevens, Surefire, Thrunite, and Fenix!

Thanks bro. I'll check it out. This one is a LED maglite. It was $20 at home depot.

Knocked these grilles out for some fellows on Instagram. Ordered eight more assemblies for another batch. I think I'm gonna pull one out for me cause they are way cleaner than the old one I have running on my rig now

Those are slick man! If I hadn't already made my own last year, id be interested in getting one of those.

Taco whip mod! Wasnt too difficult. Tied a string to the old antenna wire so that I could just pull the new one back through to the radio

Thanks for the interest man! They are $305. I ship for free to anywhere in the continental US. [emoji1360] assuming all the materials for the next batch come in soon without problem, I can have it ready within 2-3 weeks. Email me if you're interested. [email protected]

Replaced the O2 sensor. While I was under there, took a pic of this, trying to figure out what's missing.

I've been thinking of doing these as well.. plus new blades.. What's the part to that base the blade plugs into?

Do you know the right size blade to get? I want to get a synthetic or whatever the high quality version is. Confused on the numerous sizes when I was checking out blades on Amazon...

Blades are 17". I bought Silblade wipers this time, jury's still out on those but good so far. The Silblade does leave a film for awhile when you start using them, it's supposed to be a silicone application to the windshield. Their gimmick. The set before these were Michelin and they were squeaky streaky horrible.
The little plastic piece that connects the wipers to the arms come with the wiper blades, it's up to you to figure out which to use and how they go on. I can tell you the wiper arm hook goes in the topside of the wiper blade...
if you want I can make a pictorial. If you buy local from a parts place they should be able to show you or do it for you if you want them to.

As far as pulling the wiper arms off? The black plastic cover pops off the arm, there is a screw holding the arm on, and it fits onto a splined nub so may not readily pop off, but does come straight up off with a little patience and gentle wiggling. Pay attention to where the blades are parked before you pull the arms, there's no mark to tell you how to position the arm on the splines. It should be fairly obvious when you've got it in the right place.

Nothing's missing, if you mean the metal bracket with the rubber on it. It's a....balancer?.....dampener?.....I forget what the exact terminology is and have long ago removed mine.

Took this lunatic out for some early season fieldwork.

Looking at this post made me spend an unexpected $300 for a new grill with [MENTION=135677]michaeljtomey[/MENTION].

Finished my SPC upper arm install and greased them. Set yet ANOTHER alignment appointment for tomorrow to get it dialed in properly with the lift. Also replaced my drivers side LBJ as I only did the passenger when the boot tore. So they will both be fresh at least.

Replaced original exhaust (cat-back) that was corroding and had hole(s) in it with Walker Quiet Flow SS and Walker tail pipe, replaced original fuel filter (230K miles!) with new OEM and replaced RR Diff Breather with new OEM.

You have no idea!

Full speed all the time... Even growls and barks in his sleep!

Yeah, I was looking at pics of other 4runners in that area, and my best guess is that a skid plate goes right over (don't know if they came stock), or there is nothing at all.

Passed smog today, registered in my name, and got a bunch of parts from Rockauto today. Still need to order some more. Loving this forum so far. :whoo:

Haha, our pointer is the same way. However, when her ears tense they stick straight out. It looks like his curl in.

When she dreams she barks, growls, kicks, everything. She sleeps on the floor in our room and it'll actually wake us up.

Mine is the one on the right in the front. The other three are [MENTION=82154]GSPRunner[/MENTION]'s.

$65 was just too much when I can muddle through it myself for a fraction of the cost.
