What did you do with your 4runner today?

Added the Bilstein 5100's and Eibach/Toytec springs. Only went with the .85 setting up front, so there's still too much rake for my taste, but I couldn't make any sense out of the 3" lift versus CV's and UCA issues, alignment, etc. My main goal was to not screw things up, and still get a decent alignment. Oh well.....still have to finish my grill and "re-badge" the sucker.

Looks perfect IMO. Any spacer in the rear or is that stock? What size tires?
 
No spacers. LT265/70R-17, C-load rating. I like the Wrangler Duratracs. They track well, low noise, good grip, etc. Hated the previous Bridgestones I had, but I'm pretty sure they sold me a lower rated tire at the time. Now that the wife has a GTI, I'm turning it back into the something that resembles the '02 I sold 3 years ago. Miss that truck. Great clearance. Throw a dirtbike on the back and drive any trail with no issues. But I ramble....
 
I hate today

Nice. I've been going back and forth between the duratrac and the cooper discovery at3. I commute couple days a week which wants to make me just go with the coopers, but the duratracs look sooo much better, but I know I will take a bigger hit in MPG and add more road noise, and they're not really designed with freeway commuting in mind. Decisions decisions.
 
Finally did my first brake job on mine

Did my first brake job on mine yesterday. Im sure most of you might be interested but I installed 5th gen calipers all around, front rotors and pads since I had the dreaded seized caliper issue for my first time since owning her. All I will say here is I'm loving the extra stopping power :eyebrows::eyebrows:

What's the difference from the 4th gen? Direct bolt up?
 
Went and purchased this trailer Saturday and brought it home, made the kid happy at Dads expense.
Installed a B&M external trans cooler today for peace of mine on towing.

I have weathertechs. My dad has huskeys. The weathertech mats last longer because of there rubber compound. My dad's huskeys are starting to curl after heavy use, and mine are still shaped like new after heavy use.

Having Fun,
Get one of those lawn sprinklers that sway back and forth, and put it under your truck for a few hours. I've heard this does great for keeping mud from caking up. Also, clean your breaks very well... Ask me how I know

OH how I know. Had so much of that sandy stuff in my brakes, wore my rotors out. It took 2 serpentine belt pullys and the starter also.

I mostly did the mud pits in winter, so I would find flooded out neighborhoods and run through them to clean the undercarriage. Done your method also.
