What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

[octanejunkie]

No. They are exactly like the factory. Just re-use the factory hardware.

As another member mentioned, so many of us have upper brackets that are galled out of round from years of metal on metal after the plastic bushings disintegrate.

Toyota doest sell just the bushing, so I've been harvesting brackets with bushings intact from junkyards; it's been slim pickins so far.

My next project is a bushing refurb/mod for the upper lift support bracket.

Got my cobbled together manual throttle set up.

Took a page out of [MENTION=116470]Tyler James Inc[/MENTION] book and threw a bunch of simple green on the engine bay, and cleaned it up. Cleaned up the exterior of the truck and got a little ways into the interior. This way it's all nice and prepped for surgery this week/weekend. Icons should be in so it should all get installed.

Got in a fender bender. Was driving in a parking lot when somebody backed up and I hit them. Well, they backed up into me per say. They hit the side of my 4runner and scratched up the paint. I did not even notice them until they hit me. I know that shopping center well and I know that they could not have seen me until it was too late due to a staircase.... That staircase made it hard for us to see each other. The funny thing is that Zombie by the Cranberries was playing on the radio and the lady hit me RIGHT when the final drum crash was in the song....

Hopefully it turns out alright. The dashcam video shows that I could have stopped (I was looking the other way) sooner but at the same time, the lady could have stopped also (she hit me right on the rear, right tire).

Just got back from Church Dome in the Domelands Widerness. It's about 27 miles of dirt to the camping spot. All of it in rather good condition. Moved a few downed trees and barley made it under one. So not only did I get some great climbing in I also did some community service. lol

the white dividers come out if wanted


behind theres a small comportment for spare parts. The drawer slides were 34" long so i had some extra space left. The top part opens up with piano hinges when there is nothing on top of the box. Otherwise pulling the back seat gives you access.

My 19 cent "DAMNIT my cv boot split" until I can get time to fix, fix

Best 10cents I ever spent at Stater Bros

Posed for a Photo

We spent some time together this weekend with my friends son and girlfriend before they took off for the coast, up to Seattle and onward for the rest of their journey.

They're from Georgia and have been touring the US for about three or four weeks now in their new 2017 4Runner and RTT. They're heading over to the Dakota's and across the Midwest on their way home over the next few weeks. I miss them already.

So where else can you stop in, drive on the yard and get a view like this?

You named those 4runners Tristan and Leana?

ARB Awning With Room

This was from a couple of weeks ago. We got to test out our ARB 2000 Awning and room with floor.

The awning was mounted a Yakima Megawarrior rack by using Fourtreks awing mounts. These are high quality and Luke was a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended.

I actually haven't driven my Runner in almost two weeks! It's been nice so I've been blasting around on the V-Strom.

I did, however pick up a little buzz-box MIG welder on sale for $200 at Canadian Tire. Guess it's time to pick up a bottle of argo-shield and brush up on my skills!

 

[Rock_Rat]

I think they're wanting to hit the badlands.

 

[greatape]

I think they're wanting to hit the badlands.

I got slammed last year there a summer storm w/100mph winds/hail/rain, however granted it was early July but It was bad and almost destroyed my RTT ...It's a beautiful area and was my home for a few years and they will love it just don't underestimate it the summer storms

 

[tystaco]

Hit the junk yard again this weekend...got a factory skid plate to replace the rusted through one on my tacoma plus I got door seals for all 3 rigs. So nice to be able to pull the passenger side ones from wrecked rigs and replace the torn driver side seals...especially when Toyota wants over $100 per seal.

 

[Badmotorfinger]

Took lights off for the summer.


It doesn't get dark anymore.

 

[tystaco]

I guess I also got the spares swapped onto alloys to fit over the TBU...as well as finally dropped the 5100+OME880 strut assemblies in my wife's runner, and put new front sway bar bushings while in there.
