Anyone install the 4xInnovations Sliders?

This is more in the category of "What did I attempt to do today".

Can anyone who has installed 4xInnovations sliders explain why I have two longer legs than the other 4? Frame looks pretty dang flat in the mounting area yet two of them are 3.5" longer. I am leaning toward cutting them to the same length...

Where did you put the pull tab to open it? I don't remember where that other guy who did it put his.



I drilled a small hole in the trim piece at the top near the window. And ran bike shifter cables around. Works like a charm! I'll get some pictures tomorrow if I remember. Next is the rear window switch so I can open the window with the key out of the ignition.

I forget the reasoning, but it's mentioned on their site if I remember correctly. Or maybe it was in the instructions. You need to cut them.

It says somewhere.

I thought it was a 'generic' pack so it fits all 4runners. I think the idea is it allows for frames that taper in the back, needing a longer leg. I think the 2nd gen was that way?. But yeah. You'll need to cut them to length.
 
Finally got my seatbelt bolt from toyota after 2 1/2 weeks. I guess it came in a and they never called me. Now I have a working driver seatbelt. Got from free sheet metal today from a buddy too that's 1/16th. He works on the local city buses and it's from a wheel chair lift.
 
I sucked all my brake fluid out of the reservoir with a turkey baster and replaced it with new stuff.

Then I sucked all my power steering fluid out, and replaced it with new stuff.
 
You suck Alex. :)

I compressed some springs and put together a couple struts for a local board member. Got some Pendleton out of the deal which we are enjoying now after the road trip.

Also paid for my new wheels, FN five star's and TRD caps. :beer:
 
Cleaned my engine bay, MAF, air filter, and throttle body. Never reset the ECU before, Makes a huge difference. Feels like I gained some serious throttle response.
 
What I will be doing tomorrow. Figured I'd post it up cause I'll be elbows deep in my 4runners frontal regions.

Lightly shaved UCAs with new poly bushings, OTREs (sorry no Toyota part) additional bump stop replacements.
 
Installed an Altimeter that also has a built in compass and temp gauge. Living in the high desert of AZ it should be fun to know my altitude while out camping. It comes with double sided tape but I upgraded that to make it sturdy yet still able to remove which its designed to do. Also got my Lev-o-Gauges and stuck them in. Not 100% sold on their location right now.

Installed a Borla Pro XS 40665 muffler, put on 1.25" Spidertrax wheel spacers, and rotated my tires.

My buddy's hydraulic lift made short work of it
