took my truck in for alignment, toe was off, but everything else was good. this got done on the new hunter hawkeye elite. seems to be more accurate than the old stuff.
What did you do with your 4runner today?

how much does it cost to add an OEM spoiler, all-in?
You're probably in the wrong thread to post this but $115 DIY, easy 2 hours max. Professionally installed easily going to triple the price.

Yeah we were just talking spark plugs a couple pages back. I had the same thing in my Tacoma's 4.0 and I'm fully expecting the same in this one.

Did all new brake pads today. Fronts had about 30% left but the rears looked like they had barely been worn down after 2 years, crazy!
The inside pistons on the front driver side caliper were seized so i went and picked up a new caliper from Napa and swapped that out. All the other ones were fine.
Also feeling like there is a little movement in my wheels when i had it up in the air so might be doing new wheel bearing again soon.

I just got a small compressor air filter as I wanted it to be neat and out of the way. I will have to check it more often of course, but thats ok. Total cost was about $21. I had some scrap aluminum that I made the bracket out of and mounted it to existing threaded holes on the fender side.

Finally got around to doing the Bhlm on the wife's 4R. Looks so much better!
Also replaced the gauge cluster lens with a new one ($30 from Toyota and super easy to replace) since the old one was so scratched up... I swear those things scratch if you look at them wrong.
Tomorrow I'll be replacing the passenger side rear LCA because my wife somehow managed to bend it... No idea how or when she did that. I noticed it last weekend when I was respraying the fender wells and undercarriage with some fresh semi gloss black paint.
Also did an oil change.
This thing needs some lift Asap

Started my paint correction yesterday by washing the truck and putting her in the garage. Today I started off with a Clay Bar and then broke out the polisher. I first hit it with Paint Correction Polish, then Paint Finishing Polish and finished off with some Machine Super Sealant. To avoid any clouding while the Sealant was setting up i moved on to the tires and undercarriage. After getting those areas all fixed up i spent some time with the kids throwing the football and just hanging out. Late in the afternoon i hand applied a coat of Brilliant Glaze before calling it a day. Tomorrow i will apply a coat or two of Americana Paste Wax, then she will be all happy again.....pics to come.

Changed the oil and checked everything out to make sure nothing needed attention. Only thing not up to par is the ridiculous amount of mud on the undercarriage lol, oh well I'll find a car wash soon enough

Started replacing front uca's and lca's. Driver side uca was super easy, lca.... Froze. Time to pull out the cutting wheel I guess. Damnit!
Not sure how they ever did an alignment after my lift, you can't even budge the damn cams! And wow those bushings are done! Will post pics tomorrow.

Once i burn this bottle up i will be going to a different sealer. I am actually trying to burn through all these products so i can move to all Shine Supply stuff. Just don't want to waste what i have. My kids were wanting to play anyway, so it was a nice break.

I had the same issue on both of my LCA's both front cam bolts seized, my buddy did also on his newer 5th gen (2011 i believe). Seems to be a common problem especially in places with bad winters that see a lot of salt on the roads.
Use a lot of anti seize on the new cam bolts and sleeves!
