It's Christmastime in Hollis Queens!

Okay, maybe not Hollis Queens but in Seattle Washington. I used my 4Runner, along with a Tacoma Baja series, and a Lexus 350, to transport donations to our local charity. The vehicles were stuffed with toys and food from a charity drive we had at work to donate to the kids of Ryther house.

Happy holidays everyone!

I sat staring at the tail end of mine drawing plans in my head for a neat spare tire / jack rack that swings out. Also picked up the bearings I need to finish the 1-ton axles I'm strapping under it.

Added in some much needed front suspension with new Camburg Uni-ball upper control arms to go along with the Icon coilovers.

Camburg doesn't seem to be a super popular choice around here, but- from the research I've done- I think they're the best option out there! [emoji1360]
How do those ICON ride?
 
Today must of been 4Runner's day for charity! The Salvation Army's truck was in the shop so the 'runner helped haul Angel Tree gifts to their Distribution Center.

I've always enjoyed Camburg's product (when in stock). The Tundra I had before had Icon's front & back and I have always enjoyed the ride and also the ability to rebuild and valve however I wish.

Not sure why people would look down on Camburg, but I understand everyone has their own opinions and I just do my own research. At the end of the day for what I plan on doing with my T4R, these arms will do just fine. :hat:

Awesome, thanks.
I didn't mean to imply anyone looks down on them, just that I don't see many people running them on here [emoji1360]
 
Wired up in-dash controls for my winch

Wired in my "in-dash" winch controls with a master kill switch (keeps the kids from accidentally bumping it)

I finished the wiring harness for my e-locker retrofit. I used the OEM ECU and diff lock switch to create a nearly stock setup. I hooked it up to the battery to test it out.



All that's left to complete the retrofit is routing the harness, mounting the ECU, finding a spot for the switch and finalzing the harness connections for 12v power, grounds and the speed sensor wire.
 
What's in the box?

I went and picked up the half of my shipment that wasn't delayed due to bad weather.

Guess what's in the box! Time for some paint color decisions.

After 217,000 miles, a new clutch is in! :banana: Marlin Crawler 1200 lb clutch kit. Had them replace rear main seal while they were in there too. HIGHLY RECOMMEND so far. Pedal feel is awesome. Much better than stock. New OEM flywheel too for peace of mind ($$$)
 
I cleaned my MAF to see if it clears up my CEL P0171, pulled my starter out and took the contacts to the local Toyota dealership. About $7 later and that's all back together. Also pulled the running boards off.
 
Nice. Mine came in earlier this week. I haven't even had time to open the box. I didn't even consider painting them but it might be worth it. Man I need a week off. lol

Sweet! Yeah, I think I will probably just go with the Rust-Oleum hammered black as far as color goes. I need to wipe em down with acetone first and get em cleaned up for the self etching primer. That should give me some time to figure out if I might rather want to go with a hammered silver finish instead. Probably black though.

Funny story... I took the front two pieces out of their box and was generally taking them in. I was imagining the exercise I would be getting removing the main front skid for oil changes, and their overall weight. I was quietly cursing all the foam peanuts that filled the box and wanted to jump out all over the place. After I liberated the skids from the box I wanted to get all those damn peanuts out to the trash bin because it is trash pic up day. I went out and started to carefully pour them into the open bin. Then I saw something catch my eye. A shiny piece of hardware came sliding out towards the open garbage! Ahhh!! Got it... Wait.. How many bolts are there supposed to be?!? I managed to locate five... I noticed at the bottom of the box a small empty plastic bag carefully taped to the bottom end of the box. The side was split open. Great! I had to carefully empty my garbage can, whilst cursing a bit louder, with all the peanuts and swept up debris from painting my sliders and whatnot to locate the rest of the bolts. I have 10 total. I hope that is the right amount. :frusty:

If you think of it, when you open the front skids, can you confirm that it came with 10 bolts?

Just unpacked all the boxes. And managed to spill less then 50 of the little styrofoam beans. lol Confirmed that your fronts have 10 bolts.
