What did you do with your 4runner today?

Tell her the suspension is shot and you need to get a new "aftermarket" one to save money :playball:

lol...that's how I put the lift on the Durango when I did it. The suspension WAS shot and needed to be replaced, so it was either pay for a "stock" suspension, or pay for the 3.5" suspension lift that came with all new parts...Her biggest complaint is that if I lift it she won't be able to get in very easy, and I've got side rails already...maybe I can convince her to let me take the rails off and put tubes on :D
 
Dropped my truck off at my friends to pick up my ride for the day

I'm replacing the struts
 
Well I didn't get around to cleaning the rest of my interior yesterday and won't be able to until tomorrow or Wednesday. All I'm going to do today is order the bulbs to replace the HVAC lightning and display screen backlighting.
 
Sway bar removal

Give me aheads up n about 100 mi.please might do this myself !

Follow up- Stock coils and shocks= heavy coils w/5100 w/o bumper and sway bar, when in turns. You can feel the dip in the front end like stock set-up.
After the set-up w/ sway bar installed I got used to it, stiffer on turns and liked it. This is a dd rig. I'm what you would say a caution/aggressive driver. I also drive a 18 wheeler in the same manor as the trailers I pull aren't top heavy.

I will give more feed back about the action of the bar removed when the bumper get here/ installed.

Take note also, I seen in another thread that removal of the bar will give you 3" more compression travel while removed.
 
Installed the "anytime backup camera mod"...

Dealership had all but the bulbs for the rear defroster and recirculate buttons in stock. So I got the others put in and wish I had done this 2 years ago whenever the display went out. For some reason I was thinking it was more involved, but then I realized that is swapping them for LEDs. The others should be ready for pickup on Wednesday. Some of them still worked but I have no idea how old they are so I'm replacing them all. I also ordered a Metra 70-8114 harness from Crutchfield to keep from hacking up the factory harness when I install the ASWC.
 
LCA skids arrived and painted, drying now
