What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I filled up on Tuesday night and did a lot of highway driving between Wednesday and today, about 85% highway. I hit 310 miles before the low fuel came on and stayed on, hadn't had that happen before.
 
Installed a PanaVise dash mount bracket so I can mount a tablet that will show Maps/OBD2 info.

Also had to weld a bolt to my front diff drain plug after the hex head stripped out… Luckily I had a spare drain plug.

Installed HID's into headlights and LED's into corner lens', license plate lights, and interior dome lights.

Also, got a chance to test out 4lo and the stock locker and WOW I had no idea a stock toyota locker would be this impressive.

I've got a Jeep wrangler also and i'm really loving the feel of the 4runner alot better.


stock on the left. 6000k HID on the right.

I purchased 2 14mm craftsman wrenches, cut them up and made one long 14 mm wrench and one mini-stubby wrench with the left over pieces. The long one is cleaned up, I just didn't take a pic of it. I had to anneal them with a MAPP cylinder, I'll find out on Monday if I did it right when I go to use it for the first time.

There might be a little bit of body filler on my door, trying to deal with a small rust spot on my lower rear passenger door. Might be a bit more work than anticipated.

I'm planning on just welding a 17mm nut to that plug so I don't have to carry a 12mm hex key. Maybe I'll just get a plug with a raised hex area to swap. Go on ya for getting it out.

Yeah, I was thinking about welding a nut to the new plug beforehand as well. Decided to just torque it to the correct spec and hope it doesn't happen again next time!
 
Replaced mine

After 2 years of no problems on my 02 with an engine full of sludge, the frame finally gave it up to rust. Took me only 3 weeks to find this one. Spend a lot of its life in AZ . And to top it off it's Desert Dune which I thought I would never find,
Hopefully got lucky, Have to change the radiator for piece of mind and I am sure a few other things, such as the P1036 code that popped up after a 300 mile maiden voyage shore run. Literally got home, dropped into reverse to back in and the CEL popped on. Came up as a p1036. down flow o2 sensor

150K, wheels and trim are rhino lined, PO did a nice job, newer tires /brakes, TB done, new plugs wires, everything works including clock and antenna, no rip cloth interior,. Ran great on the shore run till I backed into my driveway, Going to reset the code, see if comes back. Take it from there,
