What did you do with your 4runner today?

That SUCKS! I thought they like a little weird to be Toyota struts

thankfully i believe it just needs a new top mount and lower mount to an extended one. But i have to send it to Camburg. So ill probably have them just rebuild them while they're there.
 
We had a great day! New radio installed and flowmaster finally put on.

Went wheelin' with some friends of mine. The 4runner served as the recovery vehicle because the ford was a 2WD and the jeep just couldn't stay out of the mud pit haha :trophy:

 
completely removed my struts, rear shocks to find out that my coilover shocks i bought, are not for 4runner/FJs. Too small of a top hat and the lower mount isnt long enough. Now hopefully Camburg has top hats and lower mounts to swap them out. Hope it also wont be too hard to do.

Long day to get nothing done. Oh and my VSC/ABS lights are all on. Frick me right?

you didnt happen to use a scan tool recently did you?
 
No sir. I'm going to the dealer Monday anyway so I'll have them check it out.

I found out sometimes a scan tool can erase the ZPD so the vehicle doesnt know if it is moving or not so it turns off all traction aids including the ABS. But then again there also seems to be 100 other things that can effect the sensors that monitor the VSC/TRAC.
 
didnt take any pics of the install but it is pretty straight forward. The hard part for me was getting the factory bumper off and trimming the mud flaps. but once you do that you just bolt the bumper on and its good to go. took me a little over an hour.

My bumper is already half ripped off (let my girl drive it ) and the mudflaps are already gone. Honestly I just have to do some wiring for blinkers, acro lights and the winch, and mount the winch and fairlead. Im also going to clean up any rust in there and paint it , I may also paint some suspension parts red for cool factor. Its going to be a little project , I plan to set a day aside for it. Glad to hear it wasn't hard to mount the bumper and no issues with brackets and such.
 
i didnt think to just turn it off

I def want to do the "ghetto trac control mod ". If it was truly ghetto though you would use a reg household toggle switch with tape around it. I'm sure you did something nicer than that. I need to look into how you do that mod, I know I saw a thread on it.
 
Went to Sedona for Valentine's day with the family. Can't see it in the picture, but there were a ton of huge rocks that I was trying to go over. Started to slip in 4Hi, then shifted to 4Lo and made it right up. Can't believe how much more clearance there is with only a 1" lift in front.
