What did you do with your 4runner today?

Got a Magnaflow muffler installed today.

I picked-up the 22" muffler and had a local Midas shop install it and route
the pipe behind the rear tire, and I had them ditch the reso.

The sound is great. No video clips but I'll work on it...
Now to find a good chrome tip for it.

And I'm still waiting for the following to show up-
Daystar 2.5/1.5 kit
LED interior "kit"(from Amazon)
and of cousre, t4r.org stickers from momo!!

Clips would be great! V6 or V8?
 
And people said I changed tires a lot... How about a better shot of the whole vehicle so we know how they look on it?

No kidding, I've def had my fair share of tires. Now that I've got the MT thing out of my system, the ATs were a no-brainer with me driving more. Plus, I found someone willing to pay enough for me to basically swap them out. As requested...

two of my favorite tires in that picture. Looks good! I went with M/Ts this time because to look and because it was cheaper than the toyo AT2s i wanted.
 
Finally got around to installing my Osram CBI bulbs. These suckers are said to be the best out there. We'll see. As we all know, replacing drivers side bulb, it's best to just remove the battery.

Also, my sun visor came in a while ago, I finally got some time to replace mine. Aaaaaaghhh, silent operation at last!! (the originals were squeaking everytime you open/shut them, very annoying)

CBI bulb on top, Morimoto 3Five bulbs on the bottom (nothing wrong with it, just wanted an upgrade)

you will notice a big improvement with oem grade bulbs. just like the ones in the civic. also are you going to do the led swap on the visor? i have some to send you if u want.

Hold up, you replaced the visors cause they squeaked when you opened/closed them? Wouldn't grease or silicone spray been easier/cheaper? Or just dealing with a little squeakage? Lol
 
cleaned throttle body and MAF, both were pretty nasty.

Also later today many times after i had cleaned the throttle body, i went to start it, flicked it and it started then died. It started right after. I was caught off guard by it because its never done it, but also hasnt done it since. Im chalking it up as still relearning.

Wow Tom thanks! BUT, I'm keeping the inside lights stock. I most likely will install LEDs for ambient light by the footwells. Just have to figure out what wattage to use (for resistors). I might put together a "build thread" on all the stuff I did to my truck. I just have to stop being lazy, hahaha.

I tried, didn't do anything. I made a mess. I recently had a big sale on fleabay on an item that wasn't mine, so I had "pennies from heaven" in my paypal account. Visor was severly pissing me off, so I decided the price of the visor was worth the price of my sanity, hahahaaha. I tried to live with it, but adjusting the visor would constantly wake up my baby daughter so they were pretty much doomed. When opening/closing them fast or slow, they would squeak. Expensive: yes. Worth it: To me, yes.
 
New Wheels

After waiting 3+ months for my Method NVs to arrive, picked them up yesterday in yet another driving rain storm, and finally installed today !!!

I am pretty psyched, to say the least :)

Happy Friday !

Had to leave it at home while we went to the mountains in Western NC for the week. Just so everyone knows, don't try to ascend a steep gravel driveway in a Venza. You won't make it. And to think if we had brought the runner as I suggested all along we wouldn't be waiting fort parents in the f150 and I would be able to do some light wheeling during the week

Those look great! Welcome to the Method fam!
 
Did the 12v charger inlets on my passenger front and back door. Only did these 2 since its just me, my wife, and our daughter. Got the idea from this thread and it worked great...

They sell various types of 12v inlets. I got these because I absolutely need them with a lid.. These are actually meant to be used on motorcycles. Got them on EBAY..
