What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

[Beach Runner]

Stretched the CV boots. Even though I tightened down on the hose clamps as much as possible, it's still throwin' a little grease. :dammit:

Drove around on some bumpy roads trying to locate a rattle coming from somewhere between the dash and the firewall and an annoying little squeak coming from somewhere in the cargo area. Weather is freezing and snow on the ground so waiting for some better weather or friend's garage to do the following: lube driveshaft and joints, replace corroded rear heat lines with some soft line and try to find where a small interior leak is coming from - roof rack or sunroof. There's always a list of things to do.

not sure where your water was found, but check the sunroof drain channels (not sure where they are on the runner, but in past cars those got clogged and caused a backup).

I tried my hand at sewing... My leather seats had a split in one of the seams... It looks about the same, but now I cannot stick my finger through it. If nothing else, hopefully it will keep the tear from growing.

Cleaned her up and took the running boards off.

-Bought a 02 T4R w 138k last week, so far it's everything I could want in a truck

-Swapped out the radiator with OEM

-Ordered new plugs, wires, picking up new gear oil to get maintenance up to date (I'm new to this stuff but this site is great for info)

Removed and replaced a broken wheel stud in the front hub, swapped out bolts on spacers with all-pro units with more thread bite. Bled the brakes and discovered my new hardline/residual pressure valve plumbing is leaking. MFer.

Got some new wipers at Costco! $7.99 each for the good year silent armor whatevers. Good deal, I think! (They're $17.13 each on Amazon)

 

[slomatt]

Mounted my elocker 3rd into a spare differential housing and removed the stock axle. If I have time tomorrow I hope to put the new axle under the truck.

Went to gas her up this AM at 3:30am (Currently 4:26a)and am going to go later on this morning to have the winters installed. It has been snowing, well more like a few flurries/sprinkles.. But I've been waiting to go play :boink:


**Edit** Well finally got back with my winters installed. I just took a quick pic or two in my garage to show you:

Not a fan of chrome, but that looks really good. I have the same color combo and I may look into them bars as well. what's the brand/type of wheel you're sportin'?

 

[Satter]

Took my 4R to the dealership to have the back window wiper replaced, to have the turn signal lever looked at - everytime I turn off the signal manually after changing with the head lights on the head lights go off and then come back on, the belts adjusted and the transmission fluid changed.

Installed my ISR mod

 

[jmt2404]

Yesterday I picked up a 99 console and air intake tube so I can get rid of my vatozone intake. I'll install that as soon as it stops snowing!!

Today I finished wiring up my auxiliary fuse box inside the cab. Looks pretty clean i think.

 

[sprchrgd_4x4runner]

Made my panhard bar adjustable to fix my alignment after the lift

Best part about it was the 15 bucks I spent on it and now the runner rides smooth like.new

A 99 intake tube...? Your maf won't fit that... Or did you upgrade that as well?
