What did you do with your 4runner today?

Was in fast moving traffic today so I couldn't get a clear pic, but hit mile 111111 today.

Nice Tires, About to pull the trigger on those but 265/70/17

Thanks, these tires are freeking expensive, but are excellent tires!

Looks good. This is the stuff i use for the wheel wells and undercarriage. If you scroll down you will see a video. When it dries it doesn't look that glossy. I just leaves it looking dark black and new. I also don't wipe mine down after spraying. I just let it soak in for a few hours.

Thanks momo! I've been doing this for years on my cars. Never thought to "just leave it". That is probably better for it, letting it soak into the plastic. Hmmmm.........

HAh.... I thought I was the only one in these parts, that detailed the wheel wells and engine bay on a regular basis.

Nope, some of my friends call me OCD, but the truck looks brand freeking new. It's the details that get noticed. :)

Now that's a sharp rig ! Nice job !

Thanks! :hatsoff:
 
With gas at $4.99/gal I decided to make this tank last....

Ha! You think that's good, check out this! Prius's you could take a lesson from us "gas guzzlers"...

Okay, so it only lasted for a few minutes, but for some reason that's what showed up after my hubs reset the average mpg on my stepdad's Runner when they started a road trip down to AZ last year, lol.
 
Took her out on the dunes in Florence Oregon. I wish I would have taken more pictures, but I was having way to much fun to even think of getting out of the truck :biggrin2: . I still have a ringing in my right ear from the wife screaming as we took on some pretty sweet dunes. Good times.

Thanks to a couple tips from riceandpho, got my 6000k HID rev bulbs installed. Not quite plug n play but took less than a half hour to do both sides. I'll have to take some output shots once it gets dark.

Changed the oil, greased the driveshaft, rotated the tires, installed a Daystar 1.5" spacer (driver)/OME trim packer (passenger) to correct driver side lean, and then went for a ride and turned over 170,000 miles.

My only casualty from racing was this seal to my sandwich plate that run my oil pressure and temp gauges. It was a tiny leak, still a leak nonetheless and I don't feel like spinning a bearing due to oil starvation. No big though easy fix.

I also picked up a spare set of valve covers from a friend.

My plan is to send this off to a company in houston called alien composites and have a set made in carbon fiber.

Costco had a buy 1 get 1 free sale on Goodyear wipers, it ended last night though, should have gone there!

Parked at the end of the bridge

Hit the big 125k mark today! That means... oil change, new front ball bearings, wheel spacers, new front lift, and hopefully new tires!

Realized that no one should ever order Weathertech mats from "The Price Pros" on Amazon. Ordered a front and rear set 11 freaking days ago and the Fed Ex guy shows up today with a box containing the rear mats only!! They were supposed to ship together so I looked into my amazon order history and the freaking front set just got shipped 3 days ago.

BS!!!
