What did you do with your 4runner today?

Pulled my dead Isuzu Trooper home. :cry2:

Looking forward to as many years of faithful service from my 4Runner as I received from my Trooper.
 
took apart the console and lined the area for the cup holder light and the gear shifter light with aluminum tape. going to get led there. orange for cup holders and i think 5k for the gear shifter. just adding aluminum tape made it a lot brighter

also took off the color filter off the gear shifter light and cup holder light. looks ok but i might put them back on.

if anyone asks, to replace the cup holder light just take off the very front trim piece

Took my daughter to Gillette Stadium to watch the Patriots kick some Miami ass. Gourmet tailgating before and sitting only 13 rows from the field on the 40 yard line made for a great first pro game for her. Cold ! Man was it cold though !

Sounds like a hell of a time! Go Pats!

First went to pick up a meat smoker, got some strange looks, and had a feeling a few times it's fallen, but survived

Drove my 4Runner like a Baja Trophy Truck through a mud puddle today when out with the guys. SantaCruz (Drew) should have the video up tomorrow or Tuesday.

Think I dinged a rim or something, was vibrating the whole way home. Tires held air though, so probably lost some weights or dinged the lip... Hopefully, we'll see tomorrow when I get the mud off.
 
Gave it a bath in the dead of winter!

But while doing so, I broke one of the center caps on my wheels. They pop off very easily so tomorrow I'm going to have them attached permanently so that doesn't happen again :sobbing:

Glad to see I'm not the only one that washes my vehicle in the dead of winter even though the roads are complete crap right now.
 
Look forward to seeing it done!

Oh me too
This is getting a little tougher than I imagined, and I thought it was going to be tough.
Almost screwed up modifying the metal bracket.

So far

Ill smoothen out the inside black part, where all the cuts are, and call it a day.

Could NOT get this far without Gaterose's instructions. Thanks again for the write up Matt.
