What did you do with your 4runner today?

Looks like it is against code to have it in the window. Same as in Va... has to be up front.

I don't see having a plate on the bumper as a huge deal to me. Hell, Travis has his on his roof rack fairing. Mine is in plain view on the dash completely unobscured

Passenger caliper was seized shut... replaced that and all pads and rotors.. in the process finding the other front caliper 1 piston was frozen as well.. so thats being ordered.. Also when do the rears the drivers side rear parking brake assembly was frozen into the rotor.. nothing could get it released to I beat it until it disintegrated. removed the entire assembly from that wheel and tied off the cable so it wasn't interfering. the passenger side was fine.. i left it alone.

however here is a picture..

Raybestos R300 rotors with Akebono OEM premium pads front...
Raybestos Pro grade flat rotors and Akebono OEM pads rear.

when you removed the rear rotors, did you happen to stick a flat head screwdriver in the bottom hole to adjust the parking brake? i think with the parking brake off, you loosen that adjust screw so you can remove the rotors and then check to see if you have enough left on the shoe lining. then you put the new rotors on, adjust it till its tight and back off 2 turns or so, it should spin smooth. check the parking break in the repair manual
 
Which ones did you go with?

Pro Tuning Lab HID Xenon with Angel eyes, 6k. I am not sure how I missed it with research, but I didn't want the slightly blue 6k. I may call them to ask for replacement for the 4300.

But I still love them. Totally changes the look of my 2003 Limited. Looks more like a 2009
 
Changed the plugs and added LED lights next to the winch with switch. Also installed ScangaugeII, K&N air filter, and completed the time consuming and tedious IRS delete.

Crappy pics, but you get the point.

i had mine like this in CO and got a ticket the second day i had the truck. i literally just stopped by the metal yard to make a bracket for the front plate bumper that came with the truck. immediately went to the office downtown to fight it and the lady said the plate was not properly displayed, she had pictures showing it clearly displayed in the dash and everything. i told here there were not mounting points on the truck that i just purchased two days ago and that i literally had metal in the back to make a bracket. she didnt care and i had to pay the $75 ticket...so pissed.

Please post how the alignment and cutoff look against a wall or garage door.
 
Between last night and the morning I wet sanded then polished out 95% of the trail pinstripes and brought the gloss back to the paint. Headlights were sanded and corrected too. Flex 3401 with Menzerna Power Gloss with orange & yellow pads brought the paint back. Sealed it up with 2 coats of a Menzerna Power Lock.

Yes please, would like to see the alignment and cutoff look against a wall or garage door.
 
Got my Fumoto Oil drain valve. Planned on doing an oil change today, except Amazon sent me a F108 instead of the F103N that I ordered. Its way too big for the 4Runner.

Guess Ill be doing the oil change another day.

Yes I did... the drivers side adjustment was disintegrated beyond anything I could do.. there were already pieces broken inside so the brake shoes were actually so far out of adjustment they were holding the wheel back and I never realized it. however the passenger side readjusted fine and stayed completely intact. So I still have a parking brake on the passenger side.
