Finished installing my dented ARB bumper yesterday and picked up a sport hood from certifit on my way back from the in-laws today.
 
adjusted my throttle, knockdown and cruise cables. i never really paid any attention to those until i read on here about better throttle response for free. they were so loose i took out about a half inch or more slack out of each. its amazing to push on the gas pedal and she actually goes! plugs, wires, and clean the throttle body this weekend, its gonna be a completely new machine!
 
Replaced my steering rack guide. 5 minute job. Large impact on steering, feels much better.

Did the same thing a few weeks back but feels like it wanders more now than before. Doesn't help though that the BJ's upper and lower are shot and the TRE's are as well. Have all the parts plus new Bilstein Tundra 5100's with B/Y Y/Y springs to install this next weekend. Hopefully it makes things much better. Wander isn't bad, just more than I like.

Got the FJ wheels and tires on the truck today. Now the speedo is "dead-on" with both of my GPS units! Also installed some Sylvania SilverStar Ultra H-4 bulbs. Just waiting on getting the rear bumper back from powdercoat and then I'm done for a while(hopefully).

Sat in my house in Sadness.....looking at my 4Runner parked in my driveway, awaiting for 6 New Fuel Injectors from that E-bay Seller..... :(
 
Received an email telling me my TRD Tundra Struts are on their way...as soon as I get back from my bachelor party in Vegas, they'll be getting installed!
 
Detailed the interior yesterday. Today, removed the running boards, tightened up all the throttle body cables, cleaned the K&N intake, replaced the running lights, and degreased the engine bay. Tried to find the batteries for the key fobs but couldn't find the right ones. Autozone had some that were close but not quite the right size.

Tomorrow planning on doing a full detail on the exterior, as long as the weather is good.
 
added 10 horse power

Yep, had to be done.

Wait, before you scoff, I'm only claiming 5 hp per side-I installed one on each side.:driving:

Factory remote? The battery is a # 2016 2016 battery
They probably tried giving you a 2032; which is fatter in size.

You can find them at Best Buy, CVS, Walgreens, Radio Shack etc..

Oh ya, I did put these in last week.Osram Bilux H4 65/70watts Second set and I love them..

That must be for the newer ones, that are shaped like coins. I figured out which one I need. its an A27 I think. Like an AAA but half as long. Autozone had some A23 but they were slightly too big. Looked at the local grocery store tonight but they didn't have them either. Maybe try radio shack tomorrow.
