What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Brought home a small air compressor/tank combo we pulled off a truck at work. It was used for a bunch of airhorns. Has a pretty good duty cycle, and fairly decent psi. Going to hook it up and see if it can handle airing up tires and maybe small air tools. If so then I'm going to attempt to mount it in the right rear storage compartment and install I nipple on the right rear quarter panel.

Hit my local junkyard today for a few items Here and took a picture of this 01 black sport hood in perfect condition for anyone interested. (I won't ship)

The guy wants $300 for it but it has to be crated. Home delivery will also run you quite a bit. The drive out to Portland might be worth your while. Here's their number: G&R Wrecking (503) 285-6152

i'll take the bug shield!
 
Skinny chrome fender flares delete.

Got home from work, pounced on the drums and remembered that I was going to attempt to take the skinny chrome fender flares off yesterday but was delayed due to rain.

It wasn't that big of a deal till the last bolt on the passenger side wheel well. After removing the most forward bolt, the damn thing did not want to come off. I couldn't for the life of me see what was still holding it in place. I probed, I tried to make sure the last flange wasn't seized on, but it wasn't budging. I was confused because the other side came off no problem. Finally I just applied enough force to overcome some sort of clip that is still on there at the moment. It seems like it was riveted on. However, I was losing daylight and I needed to move on. Apparently 14 years with the flares on builds up a fair amount of mud and crap that needs to be cleaned up. I did find a little rust bubble that I will have to address. I would say if you still have these on it is worth taking them off and looking at what's under there they trap a fair amount of debris that gets to rub between the body and the flare that could cause issues. I still need to clean it up a bit, but you get the idea.

Removed old vinyl and replaced with leather stitch on. Found this one at pep boys. Had a $10 rewards card, this was $17. Figured it is well worth the $7 investment. I cut and peeled old factory cover off. The factory cover extends into the arms so I just used electrical tape to cover the pad there and stitched the new cover over. I love the feel and that it is the same thickness as the factory one. This leather claims to be sheepskin. It is very tough. I pulled very hard on the stitch after each lace and had no stretching of the holes. Took me almost two hours to finish. I started with the bottom seam at 6 o'clock. With the pulling of the lace it slowly rotated about an inch out by the time I was done. Still happy with it, I had rubber tape before.

 
I decided to name my 4runner after taking a drive with my wife and joking about the crotch vent.
The name: Archie.
The reason: I like a healthy breeze 'round my privates, thanks.

Does it actually make a difference combined with the 231mm calipers? Is straight up bolt on?

I don't have the tundra brakes so I couldn't tell you. I believe this master cylinder is OEM to the 01-02 4Runners

EDIT:

Well Camelback lists a different part number for the 02 master cylinder. So i'm really not sure haha

You might want to paint those calipers. I have the same reman'd ones from AA, I painted mine...but others' have rusted pretty quickly
 
Just got a call from Sullivan tire and they were adjusting the drivers TRE and the ball popped out while loosening the jam nut. Glad they caught it!!
