Installed Wet Okole seat covers on my torn front seats.

I noticed the other day someone makes covers for the center arm rest. Black one might go well your seat covers. Don't know how good they fit though https://www.amazon.com/Car-Console-Covers-Plus-1997-2000/dp/B00UOWJN5W/ref=sr_1_33?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1530729431&sr=1-33&keywords=4runner%2Bcenter%2Bcover&th=1
I will take a look at the link. :thanks:

I'm interested in your guys center consoles and stuff. What are some cool little things you have done or added?
For example, I strung a phone charging cord underneath the gear shift/tcase shift panel, under cup holder and out through the area next to the ebrake and drilled a little hole for it to come out. So now there's an easy way to charge and it looks better than having a cord flying everywhere.
Tucked under here and snaked through
Then coming out through this pocket here

New to forum, need help!!!
I recently inherited this build from my best friend who passed away.
http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/91717-hulk-build-thread.html#post803373
I need help getting used to this site and being able to transfer the build to my account. The rear axle was recently destroyed but I have been lucky enough with being tasked to bring The Hulk back to life.
Any tips and advice with the website will be much appreciated. Once i get it going i will update on the fix and new additions.
Current state.....

Thanks! It wasn’t a tough experience and I was able to piece my resources together.
If I didnnt have access to he donor car, would I be able to pick up a bracket from a 99+ and use that?

Yes, but match the bracket to the year of the console. If your console was '99-00, get a bracket from one of those, if the console was from '01-02, then get the bracket from '01-02.

Yesterday I was pondering what I'll be doing on the truck this weekend, when I saw this on the garage floor:
Given its location (under left rear tire), I didn't even have too look, but of course I did:
Unfortunately I need to have the truck back on the road by Monday, and I don't have time to round up all the parts and tools to do the full seal/bearings/retainers job, so I was looking for something that would work for the short term.
So after some quick PMs with octanejunkie (thanks man!), I decided to just replace the leaking seal for now. So that's what I'll be doing today. Oh, and the diff breather mod, which was on my to-do list for today anyway. Fun!

Another day another CV axle :yo:
Changed the front diff oil while I was at it.
BTW If anyone is kind of a neat freak go to Walgreens and buy a bunch of the biggest incontinence bed pads you can find. They work great for oil and grease. I keep a stack of them in the garage and put a couple down whenever I do an oil change.

Bought an open box of STOPTECH (Centric) 308.04360 brake pads from Amazon and received an open box of Wagner brake shoes. This is me winning

Changed the oil, oil filter, and air filter in my GF's jeep. I like its cartridge filter on top as I can do it w/o spilling a drop of oil and with big tires so I can crawl under and drain the pan without a jack.
Then I finished up my 4runner rear passenger trailing arm bushings....one bushing at a time as it's 112F here today. Had to wear cloth gloves because the tools are too hot. Glad I finished that....
I went with the Energy Suspension bushings.

Wasted a day trying to fix the leak by replacing just the seal. Still leaks like a sieve, so I guess it's time to do it right, bearings and all. On the plus side, I got new brake shoes installed, so won't need to do that when I do the seals/bearings (and yes, I'll be sure to not drive the truck so as to not get gear oil all over the new shoes
).

Either the bearing is destroyed and you run the risk of losing a wheel or something else is going on. Got any pics?Wasted a day trying to fix the leak by replacing just the seal.

Lots of slop in the bearings, so maybe that's the culprit. Other than that, all I have are pics of my "grease test", it showed the seal sitting on the polished portion. Interestingly, the aftermarket seal I bought had the lip in the same place as the original Toyota design, not the updated design, so I thought that would be good, avoiding the need for retainer reversal. I guess not.
