What did you do with your 4runner today?

My latest "mod." :mad: In a hurry this morning, I assumed my car was over as far as it normally is (obviously wasn't) and ended up scraping the mirror of my camaro when backing out of the garage. Its not too bad but it makes me sick b/c my truck was in perfect condition...oh well. I really don't feel like paying $500 (my deductible) for a new bumper. Maybe I can fix it...we'll see.

3 letter response...CBI :D
 
Oil change from the dealer. Free since it's certified. They quoted 45 minutes. I was pissed after 1.5 hours waiting. Went up to yell, since now I'm late for all my scheduled appointments. They said, sorry for the delay, all the techs were delayed because they were busy looking at the mods on my truck. :wtf:

damn.....sorry man. I did the same thing a few years ago. I back right into the mailbox.....sucks.
 
LOL What size wood did you get?

I made my system(s) out of 4x8 plywood and MFD and was able to let a little hang out and bungee my hatch shut... It didn't come into the front seat area at all though... did you shut the hatch all the way... or?

Two sheets of 4x8. I had to shut the hatch. Had stuff in the back and no bungee cords. I was just stopping to see if they had what I needed and was going to come back and buy it later but i just did it while I was there
 
Perfectly good roof rack and that's the best idea you could come up with? What would happen to that plywood in the event of an accident? Do you think your reaction time would be slowed if you had to make an emergency maneuver?

When i added onto my deck, this past summer, i loaded a ton of 2x4's and 2x6's on the roof rack. I wouldn't have done it with the stock cross bars, but on the Yakima bars it was no problem.

You, sir, have earned yourself an excuse for a steel bumper. Nice! :D

Don't think I haven't already thought about that. ;): I would love to get a CBI (minus the extra brackets or swing-out tire carrier though). They look so clean. Then I may as well just add a Demello too. I can dream anyway....

I'm usually overly cautious (especially with my truck) but stuff happens. :roadkill: It doesn't look nearly as bad since i've cleaned the area. It should touch up and be barely noticeable unless in direct sunlight. Did you have to get a new bumper?
 
Seafoamed - The local parts store now carries the easier-to-use throttle body attachment. No more vacuum line business.

Front/rear diff, transfer case gear oil change - Very little discoloration, few metal shavings on drain plugs. Used Valvoline Syn.

Engine oil change - Found out that the Toyota oil filters are cheaper than the Mobile 1 filters I've been using. Still used Mobile 1 Syn oil.

WS Transmission Flush *dealer* - Pricey at $200, but I wanted it done correctly.

Lubed front/rear sway bar bushings - The front ones were squeaking a bit.

Lubed driveshafts - Always fighting the dreaded driveline clunk.

Detailed interior - I love having leather. It's so easy to clean.

Now she's ready for my trip to Spokane tomorrow. 11 hours and several nasty mountain passes. Yay. :lookout:
