What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Not today, but last night a couple buddies and I went out to Altadena CC again, this time with a DJI Mavic Pro to get some really cool sunset shots and ride a little. More wet than we thought, so we found a couple spots to throw some mud.

My buddy in his 2wd sequoia got stuck trying to follow me and the Jeep, and had to winch him out

Curious how you removed the old glue

I left the Toyota emblem on when I plasti dipped it. But I did remove the 4Runner and SR5 badges due to being crooked. Removal process was heating up with a hair dryer and sliding floss behind to remove the badges. Then I used a combination of WD40 and Goo Gone on a microfiber towel with lots of elbow grease. Then remounted with 10lbs double sided tape.

I picked up my 4Runner yesterday after putting in a new jdm motor. Ran great for a day and now the fuel pump went out. This year already sucks a**.
 
CBI bumper came yesterday but I was out plowing all afternoon. Cut the factory bumper off today and tomorrow the CBI should be built. I'm pumped but really need to do homework tonight.
 
Figured out I could buy Bilstein shocks through work! I love employee discounts! The Best part is, I ordered before 5 pm so they'll be here tomorrow morning.

I was surprised at how easily the badges came off my 4Runner, but left almost all of the glue on the car and none on the emblems. So I've got my work cut out for me. I found hot water helps get the glue moving and obviously working with heat has its downfalls too

I love my cbi bumper. Well worth the $$

I got the Taco MOAB 1.0 to save a few hundred bucks. As much as I love the hybrid, this was a better option for me. From looking it over, the quality of the parts is awesome and customer service has been phenomenal so far.

There is a tool called a body eraser that removes the glue like a magic
All you do is hook it up to any type of drill and watch it work takes seconds to remove the glue.
Harbor freight $20 and you get hundreds of uses out of it.
I use mine a lot to do Chevy badges and those have massive amounts of glue.
 
Yeah I've been following all of his builds. Tons of great material from him! That's pretty awesome a co-worker has his old 4Runner. Now you get to see it everyday! Super jealous haha

Well, I talked to my co-worker this afternoon, and surprise, he bought his truck from a guy from Windemere, who bought it from Addison! Voila!! Dirt Duster!
 
I drove 534 miles on just under 2 tanks of gas. Weather detour through the back roads killed my MPG.

Best HWY mileage, 21.6 mpg
Average mileage, 18.9 mpg

Edit: typo
