What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Ordered a few things for my 4Runner today.
1. Sound deadening materials for the door panels
2. JBL tweeter
3. bug deflector


all in all, it's about $165-ish. This car is most definitely a hobby car.
 
My bilstein 5100s just arrived. Just waiting for the sway bar, steering rack and 95 endlinks to arrive and its party time.

Just received by Springs, Eimkeith Panhard kit, trans cooler. just waiting on my shocks and placing an order for swaybar/enlinks bushings as well as hit the junkyard for some 2nd gen 4R rear endlinks. Also picked up some 2016 wheels and tires for $225. Wife just picked them up.

Man...as a Toyota OEM wheel enthusiast, those wheels, and at that price, are sheeearp!! Nice score.
 
Pulled the RF wheel to check resistance in the ABS sensor cable, I got no reading at all. No short and no OHM readings, I'm taking that as an open circuit, so I just ordered a slightly used guaranteed replacement from a scrap yard in Sacramento for $20 shipped.

I also eyed up tackling the rear shocks then quickly talked myself out of it, it can wait until the snow is over next week and the temps get back up in the 40's. I don't know how you New Englanders do it, or our Canadian friends. The cold never bothered me, now as I get a bit older I just can't stand it anymore.
 
Gathered some parts for upcoming maintenance.

OEM rotors and pads for the Mrs' 2000 (waiting in calipers from Napa)

And scored a pair of front coils from my buddies LX450. Helped him install a Dobinsons lift and got these as a "thanks for the help".

Springs are 20.25" Blue Yellow White 8.75 wraps and
19.5" Green Yellow White 8.25 wraps.

Will clean them up, give a couple coats of paint and they'll go into my 97 soon.

Yyesterday we drove it from Columbus OH to Philadelphia. Today we did Philadelphia - Southwest Harbor, Maine.

It's 3:40am and I'm tired!
My pitbull mix thinks the central harmrest makes for an excellent chin rest :)
 
After I got out of class I spent the better part of the day trying to fish parts of an exploded radiator cap from my radiator and find the coolant leak that left a huge spot on my driveway. Still searching but I've got it down to one small area near the crank shaft sensor. Most likely trying dye tonight after dark.

Oh, and when I went to my other truck to drive and buy a radiator cap from hi-lo, I found it was leaking a decent amount of transmission fluid. What luck lol. Somethings always breaking.
 
Washed it and trimmed another bar out of the grille so the winch fits a little better as well as the cover. The chrome has been bugging me but guess I’ll wait till it’s warmer than 34 degrees to paint

Got my new rear hatch latch installed today, and it still didn't work. So I messed around with the old one for a little bit to see "how it works" and found the lever that keeps the rear from opening. PITA for sure, but extremely glad I did this.
 
Threw in the sonoran steel 1.2 kit and CBI bumpers with a warn VR. Did the TB upgrade and fab'd mounting bars for the roof rack added some H3's to the rack and remounted the rest of my lights on the bumper.

Currently in the process of making some ditch light mounts and waiting on some parts to add the B&M super cooler and do the timing belt shenanigans.
