What did you do with your 4runner today?

I changed the rear diff fluid then took off to take some pictures on a beautiful night.

Oh wow! Those are amazing shots!

Thank You!

Wow nice, is the exif data correct, 77 exposure time? I wanted to try some night shots when I went skiing but it was too cloudy.

thanks, and that was a 77 second exposure. They are very enjoyable to take. I work 3rd shift so weekends are my only chance to take these pictures. This was the first good night for me in about 3 weeks :)
 
Drove to HD got 2 cans of plasti dip and 1 can of Rust-Oleum high heat spray in mate black. Power wash the undercarriage along with the wheels.
Re painted the wheels(plasti dip) and tail pipe (Rust-O). :banana:

Went to america tire/discount tire and got a new set of yokohoma parada spec x, went from 285 40 r22 to 285 45 r22. Now i have a slight rub in full lock, but i have less harsher ride, feels more better that i cant feel the rough road surface. Also the tires are cheaper 272 vs 211

Need to sort out an issue. My starter bogs down quite a bit when starting. I'm thinking its because my battery was completely discharged in the cold a few times and I haven't taken a long trip yet with the new alternator to charge it up.

I'm also suspicious of my starter itself because I'm sure it was submerged in the water when I flooded my truck. Maybe it's effed up?

I'll go to autozone and have them test my battery.

I sure do hope this problem is free/cheap to fix.

I plan on a dual battery setup as my next mod. I need the cranking power more than ever

an alternator isnt necessarily design to fully recharge a dead battery, just to help keep it topped off from normal use. If your battery was completely drained it is best to use a battery charger. More economical too.

Correct. A dead battery is a quick way to kill a new alternator.
 
Ok I'll use a charger. Thanks guys.

I might also rebuild my starter because I'm pretty sure the contacts are messed up. It just doesn't start right
