What did you do with your 4runner today?

[NJshadow93]

Spent the entire day painting/undercoating. I took off the gas tank skid first to find about an inch of dirt and sand built up underneath. That thing is such a PITA to remove. Couldn't get too many pictures because it was dark when I was all done. But I got a couple.

Gas tank skid removed, before I cleaned it:

Rear axle:

Front (skid plates removed):

Changed the oil.

 

[emelianenkov]

LMFAO!!!! I don't think he will ever fix that front plate. Should be on his build thread "fixed license plate today!"

Dumbest design! Go through a puddle and it pushes your plate up! I swear it's not intentional. I fixed it this morning and it's back. Idgaf at this point

That's a lot of white roofs. emelianenkov you should have plastidipped your roof to match.

First, you're so young! May I recommend you wait a bit before taking on marriage? People change a lot between 18 & 25 and it is hard to know who you'll be and what you'll want in 7-10 years.
Second, your knees may thank you in the next 7-10 years for keeping an automatic.

* My apologies for butting into your personal life, but the divorce rate in America is over 50% for a reason.

I have to agree with dusty, I just had 6 years go down the drain!!

Although the idea of going through all of that work again is tempting, I think I'll pass :closed_2:

I went to Home Depot and got the biggest bolts I can fit in there, along with a metal license plate frame. It doesn't even budge now.

FJ? Hope you like blind spots! They just don't feel the same to me no matter how many I drive. Now if you said Tacoma I'd understand because those are pretty good trucks.

Taco/Xrunner/Baja = good stuff.

FJ = failed jeep.

 

[NJshadow93]

I love FJs but I ultimately chose 4Runner. Just felt there was more value, comfort, practicality to them. 4Runners are such good looking trucks too. I love the look of the FJ too but they're not as good looking, or dare I say, "manly" as 4Runners haha

Nothing bad to say about FJ's here. I would definitely drive one. I actually didn't know they came in manuals.

I had an FJ Before the 4Runner... but the Runner is more Family Friendly.

Don't get me wrong, my wife is awesome and I would do it all over again in a heart beat. BUT, that is because I waited until I was 30 to get married and "had my fun."
There is nothing wrong with being married, but you just have to grow up first and be in a place where you're ready to participate in an a healthy (adult) relationship.
Anyway, enough of this sappy crap, back to the 4Runners.
Here's a shot of my recent snow run last weekend

U just like giving people a hard time apparently...

Btw - married at 27 here. Been with my wife since I was 23 though. (I'm 31 now and we have a beautiful 6 month old as well now). Ya don't need 45 chicks to have a happy life... Just saying. If the man's got something good, that's awesome!

One good > 100 empty
