What did you do with your 4runner today?

You make mine look bare!

Mine has no stickers on it, I guess mine is naked :tongue:
 
I've thought of running the clean look but I'm enjoying all my stickers at the moment. It distracts you from all the scratches. Plus, chicks dig stickers
 
Over the weekend:

Wash, dry, clay, Porter Cable 7424XP plus Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover 3.0, Klasse AIO. Didn't have time for the P21S.







Huge improvement over what it was. I would guess about a 80-90% correction on the swirl marks. Some fine scratches removed.

What pads are you using with the Porter Cable? I have the same unit but no pads.
 
Got my limited grille! Before and after pics up soon.

ETA: Ok install was a breeze. 1/4" rat and 10mm socket was all I needed and it took about 15 minutes. 1 pic before and a few after. The after pic is debadged with the new tires. Color match is perfect.

Love the grille, I've been going back and forth if I want to color match mine, get the sport smoked, or keep the chrome, can't decide which direction I want to go
 
Driving me to the Toyota dealership to see what I can get for a lease on a regular cab 5-speed Tacoma as a second vehicle while my 4Runner gets fixed up, and I'm also looking forward to the fuel savings!
 
Where did you order it from?

When I had my '03 I ordered aftermarket OEM replacement LED taillights. They barely fit and were dim. I returned the aftermarket ones and sucked it up and ordered Toyota genuine OEM taillights and they fit like a glove and were very bright. Totally worth it IMO. I am running aftermarket headlights right now. They fit fine, but I had trouble with the driver side turn signal socket fitting into the housing. So far, after a little over a month no leaks or anything abnormal (knock on wood).

What brand? Let your experience be a warning to others!
I dont necessarily think its the light. The pad they used instead of what looks like a hardened silicone bead on the original toyota light they used a really thick pad on the replacement. The light itself works great, except i had to finagle the harness to sit just right so it caught all the metal prong's to properly light up everything. The replacement wiggles if you're being rough with it, the OEM one doesnt move a bit. That is also the thick padding i do believe.

Its going to rain here this week. That will be the true test.
 
Zstampe that looks pretty sweet where did you get it?

Thanks man! I ordered the vinyl online from a site called metrorestyling.com. I hit a couple snags during the process since I've never wrapped anything before but it turned out great in the end. It looks much much better in person too.

Now I know I'm not the only one who enjoys driving mine to work!

its the little things! That was my view out of my office all day. I just kept staring at it all day. Its sad that i got excited towards quitting time just so i could drive it. It needs spacers bad though!
