What did you do with your 4runner today?

3 hours for a wheel bearing.

Totally messed the stock one up. It was rusted in there BAD!

4 pry bars and a 10lb sledge later... Old bearing is out, and the new wheel bearing is in!

There was a lot of crap inside the hub though. That ain't good! I'm guessing the rear seal against the spindle is bad. The splines on the CV were also rusty. Scrubbed, scraped, and wire brushed most of the crap out.

Before pic of the spindle. No after pic

Had the resonator removed and the tailpipe turned to the side.....95% of stinky fumes gone.....$50 to do it.....fewer headaches......priceless!! One mod down more to come :)

Been considering either cuttin off my crunched tail pipe or switching to a 3" pipe after the exhaust goes over the axle to get that nice deep throaty tone. No exhaust tip though, they don't last long with me lol
 
Today I replaced my head lights and also installed led iterior lights. I was supprised at how much of a diffrence it made. Now I can see all of the crap in my truck lol.

On a side note I allso found out why you shouldint buy the $75 front shafts from Advance auto less than 12k miles and the right one is dead. So I think it is time to learn how to do it myself.

They are lifetime warranty so parts will be free installing the new one, or if you decide to go to an oem shaft remember to take the old shaft back to advanced and get your money back.
 
Installed Rola Rack
Installed Armor Tech Roof rack Mounts
DDM 30" Light Bar wiring is complete and going to mount it once this rain finally stops.
 
I replaced the slightly used (ok abused) gas tank skid with a non abused one.

Keep adding the mods Crashman, you never know what I will need next :bravo:

Finally put the OEM axle-shafts back in with a new driver-side diff seal and no leaks so far! I've missed my 4Runner and love the way it rides!
