What did you do with your 4runner today?

[viggen337]

I joined the stuck caliper club. Both rears frozen solid.

If you need to replace the rotors, have fun with that parking brake drum. I currently have no parking brake in mine because I got tired of messing with it in the winter. That'll be another spring project for me...

Jeez. I'm nervous to take the rotor off. What a mess.

If both calipers are frozen, what is the parking brake going to look like?

 

[ZOMBRNR]

Got a 20" combo light bar for the bumper. Mounted it with the Rigid bracket.

I would advise anyone looking to do something similar to check the width of the bar as i have about 1 - 2mm of clearance to the grill.

Added another AOB switch. Swapped the LED Light bar for the bumper and added the Windshield Light Bar switch.

It's probably fine, the issue is that it's a real PITA to take apart if needed. Mine wouldn't release the drum and I had to wreck my parking brake parts to get my rotors off. I bought a kit to rebuild the parts and couldn't get everything reassembled with gloves on.

It was too cold to do without, so I removed everything and tucked my cables away from the hub until the weather warms up. It was the most frustrating thing I've ever encountered working on a vehicle (and I'm a VW/Audi owner!)

They should arrive by week's end. Not sure when I'll get to install them. This dooms my current retros as I no longer have a need for them. Look in the classified soon if anyone is interested.

could you post a pic of your current retros......
want to be first in line if you decide to sell

I like those switches. Where do I find them and did they need any modification to fit?

They're direct drop in switches and feature a dual stage LED for parking lights, and activation. Multiple color options as well.

Check them out, highly recommended.

Can you open the hood with it that close? On my first bumper I made that mistake and put a lightbar in the same location, welded on the brackets only to realize my hood was stuck closed.

I plan on selling them at a big discount. Why? The high beam solenoid is fried. Sort of. Sort of because it's fixable, however one would have to open them up and fix 'em. In theory I know how to, but I simply have no time. Otherwise, these retros are my favorite. (I have a retro'ed Civic with RX330 projectors). The beam is wide, cut off is sharp. If you, or anyone, is still interested, let me know! Of course, I put pics of them in action.

FYI, the retros I posted pics of are my "original" TLs and those solenoids WERE fried. They were "brought back to life". Oh, after the fix, they are no longer polar sensitive so one can go ahead and reverse the polarity and nothing will happen to them. ................ of course, I wouldn't............

peace

I have to rotate the bar before opening the hood, but yes it does open.

Thank you!! My friend locally actually has a silver Satoshi grill

The PIAA fogs work great but really wish they were brighter. The LED versions aren't that bright, and thinking I should gone with the 510 ION Yellow.

Did a little trimming on my seat cushion today so that I don't hit my head as easily and can sit more upright.
