What did you do with your 4runner today?

Finally installed after years of having it!

Installed a replacement shift cable bushing today using the steps posted by [MENTION=78997]Drcoffee[/MENTION] (thanks). My bushing looked fine, very pliable, but I replaced it anyway. I can see that the bushing could become brittle if the factory lube dried up. Kept my current one as a spare. Bonus: a roll of electrical tape I lost while installing my amp years ago was under the back end of the console. LOL

Owned for about a year and most of the work I’ve done was just fixing issues, maintenance, and a suspension replacement. Finally time to add some mods!

- Painted and installed front recovery points from TrueNorthFabrication
- Weld and paint rear bumper from TrueNorthFabrication
- DIY 2003-2005 headlight retrofit(by far the most difficult and time consuming)
- replaced front rotors

Any more pics of the bumper install and fab?
 
Clean the heck out of my interior today because I'm thinking about selling it in a month or two. Anyone have any recommendations for treating leather for example spray?
 
Fueled up and and hit 227777 on the odometer. Struggling to upload pics on my phone.

Also the wife’s 4R coolant tank was a little lower than the last time I checked…. Upon further investigation I found the common leak at the top of the rad. She’s due for a 200k service anyway so it’s not too bad. More room for tbelt access mechanic shouldn’t mind.

Dang I always thought with the True North rear bumper that you had to chop the rear cross member off? Looks really similar to my custom rear tube bumper.

Nope, you don’t need to chop off the rear crossmember. They have all the instructions to weld it together on their website. Made it very straight forward. My first time trying to weld and had a bud teach me.

Replaced the front bumper cover, passenger headlight assembly and some assorted brackets. Also passenger side fender splash shield. All due to a deer strike early one morning back in the late spring.

The critter zigged when it should have zagged and I couldn't compensate quick enough.
 
Did a headlight restoration with the Sylvania kit and the results are outstanding in my opinion. They look like new. Mine were just a little cloudy, not yellowed, but looked like they would hinder headlight output, so took about hour and a half doing all the steps as per instructions and really happy.
 
I purchased this grill through AliExpress, it seems to be fairly well constructed. It looks pretty cool but definitely makes me want to add a bumper of some kind. It did come with some amber lights but I didn’t have time to add those in. Any suggestions on where to link them up so they come on with the driving lights?

grill looks great, care to share the aliexpress link?
