Shined her up, and finished my new badges. I put the 4wd badges where the limited badges usually go.(thought it would look oem). I also traded in my 4Runner/sr5 badges for a surf and SSRG badge. I love my new shine and 1% JDM mods.

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.

Do you have a link for this? That looks really convenient to have and I like the mounting upgrade/positioning.
 
Installed my Tundra adjustable Bilsteins, Wheeler's T1 Springs, 8 wrap LC coils, no cones, and LC shocks out back, as well as a Toytec diff drop.

Looks great, what size tires are you running? I havent seen the wheelers coils before. Are these re-branded? Wondering where they fall compared Eibach and Tundras.
 
I am on 265x75x16's. The springs are made by Eibach for Wheelers. Equivalent to a 112-620. Paired with the Tundra adjustables, they ride great! I am going out for some trail riding tomorrow and will be able to report how they do on the unpaved roads.
 
Just finished lifting mine. Tundra/LC lift, MT classic iii, 265/75/16. Big thanks to the website and everyone who has contributed. Could not have done it without all the information I've found through the site over the last 2 months. Purchased this 2001 sr5 4x4 in January, 217k miles but great condition and cleaned up really well. Finally received the title in the mail from the dmv yesterday. This will be my "family" car, baby to come in August.

After entire day of cussing, hammering, torching and cutting the lower control arms are out. Tomorrow is bushing attempt which don't look fun. Never hated my 4Runner but after today we are not liking each other.

Yea, not looking forward to this either. Just picked up a new sawzawl blade. Alex mentioned the job is easier if you put the bushings in the freezer....so I've got my whiteline next to the salmon.

I will do the same!! The Diablo carbide tip is the only way to go.
 
Fixed the exhaust leak between the Header & Cat. I assumed it was causing my CEL. I was right. CEL is now off.:banana:
Out with the old & in with the new. I went with a shorter bolt so I could get my regular 3/8" sockets on there. Grade 8 SS of course.

I finally used my bottle jack for something, to hold up the Cat.

Tundra coils and 8wraps?

Yes, that's the blade I picked up. Went through one side like butter. Pressed out the center using just the press. Not sure what to do now, I got the press stuck in the LCA. Soaked it over night with PB hoping it's lubed up enough so I can pound it out.

That sucks!! I'm having fun right now. Still lost on how to reuse my Oem bushing sleeve when the cam sleeve is fused to it. Luckily the other sleeve wasn't fused. Found a good use for my winch.

GOOD LUCK. WE BOTH NEED IT!!

Nothin' too special - did the Airbox Deckplate Mod like I did on my '03 Tundra. Seems to breath better but will wait for the next numbers at fillup. Am hoping for some real improvement in MPGs as this vehicle is not doing well in that department. All maintenance is up to date so dunno what else to do.

Also replaced the PCV valve...

Nice use of the winch! Now I have a reason to go out and buy one. I'm doing a 100% replacement with Whiteline. Not reusing anything! So for me I'll just have to use a puller from the bottom of the press. Pull the LCA off the jack. The diablo blade IS the way to go!

Someone on here was talking about selling his rig but changing out the LCA bushings before he did. HA! Good luck with that!
