What did you do with your 4runner today?

smogged and registered it, another 2 years until CA comes knocking again.

BTW im getting 2 + MPG more with my OEM intake in over my CAI i had. So it will stay.
 
-Replaced the front and rear diff fluid (120k miles) with Shell Synthetic 75W-90 gear oil
-Greased the drive line
-Power steering "flush" with Valvoline DEX/MERC
 
Rotated the ole tires.

Snapped my harbor freight breaker bar.

Lug nuts were put on by Andre the Giant I think!

Thought that would have happened years ago!

What's the best cheap breaker bar for the money if that's not it???

And what would be the best all around?

Edit: Lifetime warranty. Who'd have thought . . . . :becky:

Did the 90,000 mile service. Oil change, spark plugs, air filter change and check everything over. The was the easiest oil change I've ever done, wow! This thing is so well-designed and easy to work on. Way easier than my X5 was.

I also installed a Fumoto oil drain valve. Looking forward to the next oil change at 95k miles.
 
Changed the oil. First oil change since we bought the runner, switched over to M1 EP. Also changed the front and rear diffs and the transfer case fluid to Amsoil severe gear 75w-90. Did the same on my tundra.

I intended to re-grease the zerks but ran out of grease after the first one lol. The auto parts store was out of M1 grease... Doh strike two! I'll go to a different store tomorrow to grab a tube.

Tomorrow I have to stop by Toyota to have a warranty repair done on the tundra (stupid cam tower seals!) so I plan on picking up some Toyota SLL coolant and some WS ATF. I have the next two days off so I'll be doing a coolant change and a trans drain-refill (3x) on the 4runner.
 
Look what appeared today!!!

Also re-painted the skid plates today since I had to pull them off to change the diff fluids. Degreased them with some purple power, then scrubbed a few isolated rust spots with a wire brush, shot them with some rust converter, then 3 coats of semi-gloss black duplicolor engine paint.
