What did you do with your 4runner today?

Had some fun playing with some toys !

Well had to repaint my step bars due to spilled white paint in the road (see above post. 8926). Passenger side got it all but had to paint driver side to match. They were actually due for a coat of Krylon Fusion Satin Black from sun fade.

I took the off and every piece off including brackets. Could not get step pads off so I taped them up with blue tape and put on three coats. I then took some Showroom New Restore black plastic dye and dyed the step pads back to a nice OEM black.

Let it all dry and put em back on. Next up the roof rack.

Installed my other slider. I was really sick this morning but I had to get it done this weekend or it would have had to wait till thanksgiving. It sucked. Pics to come...

also, this will be posted elsewhere but here too for shiggles (ignore the led bar's reflection)

 
If I had photoshop I would totally shop in a Jedi and make the reflection of the bar into a light saber and it looks like your girl is cringing as it is, so that's perfect for a pose when a Jedi is swinging at you haha
 
washed it for the first time with my new sealant, insane results.

What sealant did you go with? I just bought some Minzerna Power Lock to hopefully take care of the paint during the winter here. I haven't used a sealant before - just carnuba wax.

I'll have to hit it with some Auto Finesse Iron Out first. Lots of contaminants in my paint.

Used Sonax Polymer Netshield. First time using it but loving it so far, its also not a dust magnet like most sealants.

ALso, lanned to do HID foglights install but ran out of time. Need to get that done to go with my HID headlights.
What year 4Runner do you have? I want to do this too, just wondering what grades and amounts of oil/lube to get.

I have an 03 Sport V8 AWD


I have an 06 V8 SR5. I got the steps from this forum itself. I had ordered 7 QT AMSOIL (75W90 I believe)gear oil from their website, which was enough for both toe diff's and T/C. My mechanic already had the grease, so didn't need to buy that.

Also, couldn't get the foglights done. Apparently, one of the wiring is messed up for the R fog light and no current is passing through. I'm bummed. Need to fix it quickly before it gets really cold.
 
[MENTION=44866]ARK_SWAMP_RIDER[/MENTION] I envy your fall... being in the Sonora desert we don't get a "fall" :( stunning photograps!!!
 
In the past week:

Installed a Ultra Gauge Unit

Installed a URD Rear O2 Simulator

Installed New Calipers and Rotors after my LF locked up on me. So now I'm keeping it and enjoying it as it is. I'll be at the ACC Fall Crawl this weekend in Tennessee!
 
Finished my day star 2.5/1.5 threw on some new terra grappler 265/70/17 and derped the wheel caps and emblems. Sea foam later today

Found a pile of gravel.

Climbed said pile of gravel.

You know you've got some flex when: you can stuff stock 265/65/17's

I really LOVE the front sway bar delete so far! The IFS can actually function as it's supposed to... Independently!

I want to find something more solid than a pile of gravel to climb to demonstrate the benefits of the sway bar delete, but I have too much to do and no time to do it.
