What did you do with your 4runner today?

cleaned my leather after manhandling it yesterday with gross dirty hands.

Before picking up the 4th gen I recently bought new Duratracs for the 3rd gen. Since the 3rd has 16" wheels and the 4th has 17's I can't just swap tires. Today I swapped wheels/tires and plan to try this out for a couple days. The 16's look a little small so plasti dipping in the future might be required. '


I like it! Looks good man!
 
My 12 yr old son started my wifes Jeep without asking but didn't take it out of gear. It took off with him in it across the front yard. Jessica grabbed him out as it rolled by and then was trying to hop in and stop it but she wasn't going to make it before the Jeep went down the stairs so I grabbed her and told her to let it go. It went down 13 steps and the stone wall and into the side of the 4runner. Just missed the van that her father was working under on jack stands. She is at the hospital with a possible foot fracture from getting it caught in the rocks at the top of the hill. The kids are fine, the stupid jeep is fine other than a bent bumper. The 4 runner is all ****ed up.

Accidents happen and nobody was hurt good thing too. Sucks about the T4R but you can fix it and that "stupid jeep" is an LJ and kinda very sought after so....I don't think your SUV is near totaled either. The damage to the door is superficial it looks like and the section that was cracked can most likely be easily replaced with over night parts from Japan.....
 
Got my 4lo working.

Just picked up the gen4 t4r recently and I don't think it had ever been in 4wd.

It would go in 4hi just fine but I would just get the blinking 4lo light when I tried to put it in 4lo. I kept cycling from 4hi to 4lo in an attempt to get it to actuate.

Then the blinking 4lo light stuck on and it wouldn't go back into 4hi! I freaked out for a minute and pulled out my phone to see if I could find more information, glanced back at the dash and had a solid 4lo light! Put it in gear and sure enough, 4lo is working now. I cycled it a couple of more times to make sure, it pops into 4lo right away.

Also did the HCF delete.
 
Thanks emelianenkov. I'm still undecided on the wheels but love the duratracs and happy to have them back.

The 4th gens look great with small wheels and beefy tires (don't forget the sr5 came with 16" wheels) and they also look good with 18" wheels and shorter yet beefy tires

Great looking logo and company name. Now if only the other 95% truly understood what that law means....Looks like a fun job.

Lol I noticed that, great company name! Plus labs are freakin awesome

I know that's right. My father in law was with me when I finally got it on. He said you are a brave soul. I told him I have had the name picked out for years and years before any "HUGE" self defense case in a stand your ground stand happened. I'm just to the point where I can start advertising. It's just a stud service. I didn't want to deal with the puppy side right now. Maybe later.

Dang right bud! Labs are the only dog I've own and forever will be the only ones.
 
Painted the headlights black today along with some other maintenance. It was getting late when I finished so I don't have any good pics.

 
New Yakima bike rack & 29'ers in Tahoe. Apparently was spotted by Casper421 driving through King's Beach on Saturday on our way to Northstar.

Not today but yesterday. New EBC brake pads front and rear, machined OEM rotors, new spark plugs, air filter, PCV valve, cabin filter, changed oil & filter, rotated tires, new Gatorback fan belt. Still to do: upper idler pulleys, change oil in trans, x-fer case, and diffs. Will have to get at that stuff later, just ran out of time. I will hit 110k miles today, FWIW.
 
talked to javier (head guy at gulf coast crawl shop where my 4runner is getting repaired) and he said that he's going to go ahead and get me a new water pump & a new steering pump to fix all the power steering issues i've been having lately.

counting down the days til i'm back in the drivers seat
