What did you do with your 4runner today?

[momo.75]

Yes SIR! You get it. I can almost stick my finger in the water and catch a fish.

Honestly, no one gets hung in them now days. These guys all have these fish finders that can do side view and bottom view in 3-D and find my brush piles while running 70 mph from across the lake. SO they find them within days of me putting them out.

Were you hauling those trees on a trailer Saturday down Valleydale Road?

 

[Bluesky 07]

Where did you order/buy lights. This is my next mod, but found a swap kit on eBay

I went cheap - got these on Amazon. I'm sending you a PM with some additional info.

I know the feeling.... almost finished my light bar install in the lower grill... but more importantly got those switches all moved to the middle.

I like your switch choice, they look clean. I opted for a switch from AOB.

Yup, that was me... Beverly Hillbilly style...

I waived and I saw you waived back.

Your 4Runner is insane. Looks brand new, it was so SHINY

I thought that was you. I appreciate it. Something had sprayed on the hood and it didn't wash off the other day so I had just done a paint correction on it. I kept meaning to take some pics but never had time......and now it is raining.....:sobbing:

Your truck looked really good!

Nothing wrong with Beverly Hillbilly Style. I have had Family tow a Car with an Extension Cord so I Know Hillbilly Style. My Brother is in Tuscaloosa and I have family in Sylacauga, Wetumpka, and Mobile too. Spent a lot of time in Sylacauga growing up with my Great Grandma making home made Cornbread, Butter Beans, and Fried Okra...Damn Good Stuff. Love Alabama.

I hit the speed limiter several times today.

My wife called me at my office in MD telling me my 10mo fell down the stairs and she was taking him to Ft. Belvoir emergency room....thats pretty much all I got between the sobs and tears before she hung up and she didn't pickup every time I called back.

Thank God he was okay and after the scans they determined he didn't have a cracked skull. So thankful today.

Kids are pretty resilient man. My son fell off more things than I can count between 6 months and a year, and other than the brain damage, he's been fine =P He climbed out of his crib once and hit the ground from a solid 3-4 feet off the ground, and didn't even cry about it. I heard a thump and he was just sitting there when I checked on him.

Replaced the rear sway bar bushings. Three of four bolts broke. Spent some time trying to drill, but had much better luck punching them out. Upgraded hardware to a slightly thicker bolt and lock nut.

Also ordered 5100s for all four corners to replace the nearly rotted out xreas. I have spent at least 5 hours trying to figure out whether or not I should swap out coils too. My god it is a rabbit hole. A little frustrating since the 4 5100s are like $650 CDN. Decided to get a 1" spacer and will likely set the fronts to .85 with stock shocks. Should get a bit of lift that way. Have RAS so will need to trick the air bags or see how it looks leveled.

Well, naturally I ditched the 1" spacer and ordered ome 885 coils today. Now I'm going to need UCAs. This is getting expensive...

 

[Morphyne]

Not with that setup. You should be good on stock ucas.

Drove it to the dealer to look around. um... bad idea. 2016 Land Cruiser was on the lot, wow I want one of those beasts...

Agreed, I saw one on the way to work... really nice looking.

This one of course is their R&D vehicle...

Lol...."other than the brain damage, he's been fine"....Appreciate the reassurance and we have had folks come out of the wood-work sharing their-down-the-stairs adventures.

My boy is a tank. He is walking...until he falls down and he hits his head multiple times a day. I think we will change his call-sign from "Bubba-cheeks" to "Bruiser" or "Crash" after today.

Today had me concerned because my wife (who is very desensitized to his daily exploits) was hysterical and I had very limited information to go on. I was very worried when I got that phone call.

Did a little testing tonight because I can definitely feel a power gain. So, bone stock my truck did 0-60 in 7 flat, consistently. After my 35" tires with stock gears I was at 9.3 - 9.5 seconds. So tonight I tried one with the new exhaust. I got 7.3-7.5 seconds! It chirps those big ass tires and one of the times I tried the asphalt was a little wet and I spun the tires badly. (no traction control right now) pretty damn impressed!

What APP is that? I've been curious, though I have no "before" numbers. I just know that she is ridiculous for an SUV.

Ulysse speedometer. It's a great app!

Noticed my passenger side floor board was damp. Cleaned out the AC drain line which wasn't much wrong. Also it was a musty smell so I don't think it's the heater. So now I wait and see

Cool. thanks! Now I just ordered new greaseable cam bolts and lower UCA bushings. I need to destroy my credit card fast...

Maiden voyage with the lift on to school today. I've got a shudder up front when I get on it hard :nono:
