What did you do with your 4runner today?

Agreed, you can see some of the under hanging of the frame and it doesn't look as clean.

Put in a AFE pro dry air filter then took off my running boards..not sure if i like it. Might go with some black step up bars.

as one of the construction workers next door noted "it looks naked"

That would be called ground clearance not naked or unclean, but less grocery getter and more sporting.

If my diff isn't going to clear it I'm not worried about my sideboards. . . also up here in the midwest, the running boards help with preventing rust. I do agree in that it looks cleaner with them on or at least a substitute like sliders or bars, but not just "sporting" or "naked".
Also with the 3 inch lift, my lady hates me when trying to get in, she needs anything she can to help her get in.

good luck with that my diff cleared this but my sides wouldn't have..

. . .noticed you put sliders on. . . . which in my previous statement I said was an improvement over nothing. Something needs to fill in the space under the doors, and you just showed me thats exactly what you did.
 
Any ideas as too why my indicator light for the Air Conditioning on the HVAC is blinking? Just noticed it maybe ten minutes ago. It wasn't blinking when I came home from school.

Maybe need a recharge?

See what It says in your manual.
 
At a local car show today. Got here and it started raining. What can you do?

Four days ago my kayak slipped off my stock rack (2004). Usually have my Yakima rack mounted up, too lazy this short trip. I've loaded all my boats hundreds of times, this one time it got away from me and fell off the side shearing my driver side mirror completely off. ]{#%+*!?~|!? :-((

Just knew it was $200-300, started researching.... Found NEW replacement black mirror on fleabay for $40, and door panel removal directions here:

Done in 10 minutes!!

sounds like need a new AC Relay.

Looked it up in the manual. "If this occurs take your vehicle to a Toyota Dealership for maintenance" apparently there is a problem with my AC system, probably the relay, but at least it gives me a good reason to get my timing belt done. Im at 96k so its around time to do that.
 
just took off my factory running boards... so far i really like the look of it, now i just gotta order some sliders!!
 
Replaced my driver side wheel bearing today. Took a few hours because of no power/air tools and a seized rotor which took an hour and a half in itself lol. Going to do the other one this weekend which should take 1/4 of the time this one took.

Threw these on today. In-channel models from Lund. Will take some getting used to as they fill the gap between the window frame and the outer mirror. Important line of site in a city with lots of idiotic pedestrians.

I do like the look though. And the fact I didn't have to put tape on the outside of the 4R.
 
got some TRD decals.
I think these are good for about 50 horsepower each, i'm ready for moab with these badboys.




PS its not crooked the picture just makes it look like it haha

did the stickers come with a rock warrior?

stickers look cool. i picked out my dads 2010 white rock warrior few years back, that thing is fast for its size. only downside about them is a touchy gas peddle. i took the thing in for its first oil change and ended up spinning tires out of the parking lot
 
Changed my cable on the winch to synthetic 3/8". Loaded up for a 5 day camping trip.

WHOOO HOOO, get to try out all the winter modding done to her.
 
I was wondering if "rock warrior" was only here in CO. FL had another version of the Tundra but I can't remember the name. I want a TRD sticker but they don't make any parts that I can throw on my Runner so it's a no go... Nothing of interest anyhow.
