What did you do with your 4runner today?

Drove her to work to have some fun on my day off!

any noticeable difference? I want to get rid of my ugly resonator but worried it'll be too loud.

I cant tell a difference. Some people say you can but i cant and my gf hasnt said anything about it being loud so if it made any difference it's little
 
Tried to install my toytec/eibach front coilovers and failed. ...just couldn't get the tie rod to disconnect from the spindle ...

The best tool for this job is a ~3lb hand maul. Once you have loosened up the castle nut and backed it off a couple turns, just give the steering knuckle a couple of controlled whacks (right over the tie rod end) and the tie rod end will drop right out; no other tools required. You can't help but smile when you see this happen.

best of luck

Don't disconnect the tie rod. Take the bolts(2 of them) loose from the mount holding it to the spindle. It's much easier.

So you're saying ruin your alignment and create a potential for your tie rod end to come loose over time instead of undoing 1 bolt that has a cotter pin through it the way you're supposed to when doing coil-over work?

I'm with Jdkilroy. We had a blast installing our lifts together. Universal persuasion devices came in handy!
