Put it in my shop across town today and grabbed the plow truck. Going back tonight after homework to put it on stands and take the wheels off to clean and prep for paint. Snow today, 51 degrees tomorrow then looking like 14 inches of snow thursday. New England is awesome...
Oh and this weekend the bumper build is starting. CBI kit should be here thursday so thats another reason its going down for a few days. I hate waiting for parts, Im way too impatient.

Ask the oncoming drivers and I bet you get a different answer!

Well this was last night, but...
Got 4 new tires and a lifetime alignment from Firestone for $603. Love my Dad's employee discount.

Good deal other than firestone tech's being dumbasses!!! Not all but most. My firestone said they would not touch my rig due to lift.

That's a good deal, what tire did you get?
I got the same deal from American Tire Depot with lifetime alignment and unconditional tire warranty on a set of 275/70 Hankook Dynapro ATs. It was the tire I wanted.
They were willing to match internet price on any tire, which many tire stores will do today because they don't want to lose the business. They do charge for installation, disposal and valve stems, etc so maybe it all evens out in the end.

Just replaced broken windshield sprayer on my '98. I got new Toyota OEM off Ebay from a Toyota dealership for $20.75 delivered. It's for a newer 4Runner and has 3 nozzles instead of 2.
If anyone else wants to upgrade:
Genuine Toyota 4Runner Nozzle Part # 85381-35090
New OEM Factory Part
Year: 2003-2009 (but plug and play on 3rd Gens too)
The Ebay Seller I used is: octoyotaparts

Does it actually spray the washer fluid vs two direct streams? I feel like mine doesnt disperse the fluid like it should.
Well I haven't used it much yet but seems the same, just 3 streams instead of 2.. I think you might be asking if it mists vs streams? I prefer the streams, as mist probably wouldn't hit the glass much doing 80 like I usually am!

I did a few things today!
- a 1996 SR5 hit the Pick n Pull last night, so I went there today on my lunch break to see if it had an E-Locker. Nope.
But it had some decent cloth rear seats, so I took those. It also had a cupholder that wasn't broken, so I got that too. Lastly, I took the ignition cylinder, because it was the factory one, unlike mine, and had a key in it. I needed a factory key so that I could re-pin my door and tailgate locks so that I only need one key for everything.
- I figured out why my truck didn't run as I expected after the Timing Belt swap...I mixed up the #2 and #4 plug wires while routing them through the looms! HA!
- I removed my driver's side door lock and re-pinned it to the Toyota key that I acquired at lunch. Well, I half-assed did. I couldn't get all the tumblers to cooperate, so I used the Dremel to knock down a few high spots with the key inserted. Not the RIGHT way to do it, but it's good enough for Government work.
- Finally, I figured out why I couldn't roll up the right rear window from the driver's door switch. I took the whole assembly apart and pinned out the connections, and found that it would only have continuity when pressing in on the microswitch, which is impossible to do once installed, so I took the slider apart, lenghtened the spring, and bent the sliding contact a little bit, and put it back together. It works but is a little notchy feeling, so I'll live with it for now and buy a newer one at a later date.
