Thanks!

The snow is melting quick though. I wish it would stick around a bit longer. I guess its an excuse to go up in the mountains :guitar2:

... disc brake swap

Seriously though... f*ck drum brakes.

I would if I had the tools. But with the money just in equipment and then I'm adding a Plasma cutter or cutter. Just too much.

Filled the reservoir for my windshield wiper fluid. A few weeks back when we had some really cold weather, I thought it may have frozen. Now that the weather has been unseasonably warm, my brain thawed & I thought to myself "it's probably just empty!"

Sure enough.. Oh how nice it is to be able to see again!

 

[thorridder]

went mudding last couple of days, looks great now haha. traded off my 15" sub for a lower profile dual 12" sub box with subs. going for a drive soon for some 35" mud grapllers and tire carrier and spare coming this week i hope *knock on wood* and tore off the Crown Royal center accent because i needed a rag to see from my mirrors, oh well.

Purple Power Treatment one the wheels and under carriage. Washed the inside and out of the truck. Painted over some fresh metal and welds. Touched up the Toyota emblem and mounded the cb mount.

I finally got my Savage front bumper on this weekend. :bluejump:
Then I converted the marker lights to use 1156 bulbs for marker/turn signals since the old turn signals are gone. Now I have to find some lights and a winch to fill the empty holes in the bumper :

Scored some Infinity Kappa 60.7CS 6.5" components for $50 on CL... Threw those in the fronts.

Why has no one told me how hard it is to get crossovers to fit in the panels? Took me like an hour to figure out how to get it to work out. Oh well, reason not to watch the Super Bowl.

As far as the sound... The bass doesn't hit as hard as stock, but the vocals and highs are much better. I swapped out the blown one first so I could compare the good stock speaker, to the newly installed Infinity.

Went and tailgated downtown for the Super Bowl. This 4Runner is one of the best tailgating/party rigs I've ever owned. And I get more compliments on it than anything I've ever owned, and it's mostly stock!

 

[RunninInGA]

I thoroughly washed the exterior, completely detailed the interior yesterday. I've never really been a fan of silver, but it does hide dirt and scratches pretty darn well. Did not get a chance (between beers) to install my HID fogs. I'm slacking on that project for sure. Parts are on hand, I just haven't taken the time to get under there.

About to make an appointment for my mobile tint guy to swing by the office this week or next. Isn't there a thread around here somewhere talking about what % is recommended to match the front and rear?

 

[4-Ripcord]

I have 20% on the fronts and a windshield banner. Stock on the backs.

I think it matches very well!

 

[bitchaaz]

20% on mine as well. Matches very good.

When I had mine done, I told him I wanted to match, and I remember him saying 22% or something like that. They should have a way to look up exactly what factory is.

 

[RunninInGA]

Thanks guys for the quick responses!

CONFIRMED - My guy immediately said, "it's 22%".

 

[PitbullRescuer]

Does anyone make a whole kit for it? Or do you happen to have a list of what bulbs are needed?

Side note: 3rd Gen related because I had to let my wife drive my 3rd Gen to work today. I had to change the crank position sensor in my wife's 80K mile '06 Pathfinder today. 2nd time, first one was done at Nissan under warranty. It also has a bad fuel level sensor, every heat shield under it has broken, they're also pink milkshake prone and I put a front axle in it last year. My almost 200K mile 3rd Gen has none of these problems. 3rd Gens are awesome!

I'm waiting for your results on this so get to it ha. I think I'll be doing 20% to match the glass as well. Let me know what it runs you after its done.

For me, I installed all the CB equipment and ordered my new tires which will be here tomorrow.

Most likely just before or just after noon tomorrow. He's gonna charge me $50. Is that quick enough for ya? My guy is mobile also. He'll be in Norcross before he sees me in Buckhead. I'm sure he would make the trip to Newnan to do yours for a $20 spot and a dime bag. LOL
