What did you do with your 4runner today?
- Thread starter NorthGa4R
- Start date
I'm local to you, and don't really know the best semi-local wheeling spots. Shoot me a PM if you'd like to hit some trails.
Crappy night pics but the rack and lights are all set up. I'm more than happy with the outcome of how everything came out. The Armor Tech Brackets definitely make it sit perfect on top the roof. Next up is armor all around$$$
nice bike
that looks like a nice ride. i too use that app when riding and love to track my rides. do you have any kind of bike setup for the truck?
if your trying to find a way to carry bikes in the truck securely here is how i have mine
link to my strava rides http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00653V9RE/ that I use when I ride with others or the couple of times I've mountain biked. It only takes a minute or two to pop on or off.

Nice setup. I figure with my road bike I don't have a problem just tossing it on it's side in the back. My mountain bike, however, I don't want to get the interior trashed. I have a hitch-mount 4 bike rack that I use when I ride with others or the couple of times I've mountain biked. It only takes a minute or two to pop on or off.

Best Maintenance Day!
On Sunday, I asked my (13 year old) son if he wanted to help me do some maintenance on my Runner and he said sure!
We swapped out my fog lights, then tackled greasing the drive shaft on both my Runner and the wife's.
And he just didn't sit there and pretend to be helping, he actually crawled underneath, found the fittings, wiped them off and actually greased the fittings!
It was a great father//son time. Next time, we might tackle spark plugs and rear diff fluids...

Plugs and rear fluids might be a great experience for him to learn some new words haha

Ha! Yeah, unfortunately I'm sure he knows most of those words already...:shocked:

I know of a few good ones north and south. I actually have three other 4runner friends going with me to Gulches for the weekend if that sounds like something you'd be interested in.

Alright so before I go spend a ton of money to have this diagnosed, does anybody have any idea as to what would be causing a loud noise that seems to come from just underneath the driver side rear door when I'm on my brakes going under 10 mph or in reverse with or without brakes? It could happen at faster speeds but I can't hear it because of my tires.

Sounds similar to what happened when my parking break seized and got stuck engaged.
HHIRunner

That's a good possibility because my parking brake currently does nothing when I put it on

Might be a good thing to check then. Just mKe sure you adjust the parking shoes all the way in before you try and pull the rear rotors off.

But why would it be binding and moving and making noise when I'm at a complete stop?

what kind of noise

It's like a loud rattling/grinding/crunching noise. It's kinda hard to describe but I will try to take a video when I get out of school.

If you use your parking/e-brake often it won't seize. The parking/e-brake is a "use it or lose it" type of thing. I use mine 99% of the time.
I do wonder about the 4Runner e-brake though. I adjusted mine up nice and tight. I did it with the rotor off and adjusting it out. Didn't see a port for adjusting it through the backplate. Also, does anyone know if the e-brake is self adjusting? I didn't see an automatic adjusting arm while I had it apart.
