What did you do with your 4runner today?

Drove it downtown today, its a nice day so I opened all the windows and I hear a few loud pops. Looks like sunroof came off track. Had to close it and then use tilt for it to line up so it won't leek. Have only had it for 6 days and already has a problem

I've had mine make some very startling sounds, like popping. But I've never done anything to fix it. It works for the most part (it rattles on the freeway) but has never leaked. Ever.
 
Finished my Satoshi grille!

The popping is probably little chunks of hardened grease in the track. There is a toyota service bullitin that shows you how to fix it. Its not very hard to do. Mine made the same noises and then stuck open . It took 2 hours to fix prob less if you have skills .
 
Put the T4R in the garage for the weekend since I sent my gauges to Alex. Called up Dad's Rent-a-Car and picked up my ride for the next few days....a 2012 Impreza Sport.

CVT tranny's are weird.
 
One of the first big mods I want to do. Just don't want to use the one on my truck so once I find one for sale I'm doing this. What mesh did you use?

It's a pretty easy one for 06-09. You can check out my build tread in my sig below and it tells what supplies I used.
 
Changed my oil again in preparation for another road course race.

It'll be my 1st time in an advance class. :) I'm very excited. I am also going to cut off the dust shields and make custom brake ducts.
 
Holds up well honestly. It is still a nice daily driver, no squeaks or rattles and the drive train feels solid and on the road it tracks straight and true. Of course the brakes and tires wear much faster but thats a given. My only grip is that the oem radio kicked the bucket and now sounds terrible but idk if that failure is from racing or age or use. Thats the only thing that has failed amazingly. My current millage is 96,6xx.
 
All much better, installed the front Bilsteins today. Tommorow I need to put in the diff drop. Rear shocks will be here next week some time.
 
2 Tail Light bulb replacements, bought new pads for the rear for tomorrows work. Cleaned the sunroof tracks and re-lubed them. Cleaned the automatic door latch on the tailgate and re-lubed all the pneumatic hood and tailgate struts.
