What did you do with your 4runner today?

Tried to figure out why my steering wheel is clacking. Tried the fixes where you adjust the slip yoke and tighten a nut down my the floorboard, neither worked. It sounds like its coming from inside the steering column. Heres a video to better explain the sound. Any ideas? Thanks

Since I just picked up my new to me cream puff 06 V8 SE from central FL with a whooping 39k on the clock I have only had time today to get the front windows tinted and I de-badged it also.

Up next is a full set of weather tech floor liners...

If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay for your 4Runner?

And, yeah, Weather Tech liners are worth their weight in gold. I have them in the front, the rear passengers and I have the 2 in the trunk area (1 is on the shelf).
 
Cut some donuts, parked in the middle of the interstate, and ran into [MENTION=57070]TFJ-4runner[/MENTION] at WaHo on my way home. Nothing special...

I pulled my HFC filter out today. Also replaced the map, dome, door pocket, and rear license plate bulbs with LED ones. Both only cost me about $10 and 30 mins or so. I also detailed the interior while I was in there. I just bought it about a week ago and haven't been driving it because I have parts on order. The transfer case is about to come apart to replace the actuator. Hopefully it'll be here by friday so it can be fixed soon. I've loved driving it the little bit I have. Much better than the 3rd gen.
 
Dropped the truck off at Off Road Warehouse to have this installed:

KING 2.5" Front Coilovers with Remote Resevoir and Compression Adjuster
KING 2.5" Rear Shocks with Remote Resevoir and Compression Adjuster
Total Chaos Upper Control Arms
Total Chaos Spindle Gussets
Total Chaos Cam Tab Gussets
Total Chaos Coil Bucket Gussets
Radflo Rear 2" Lift Coil Springs

any change with the spacer?

I haven't driven much to say. Several 4runner drivers on amazon.com claimed a difference including improved mpg, top end, torque, hauling power, horse power, etc. Not much in terms of proof.

If it looks like anything more than a psychological boost in power, I'll post it.

Made use of the recent zero point error and resulting lack of traction control/VSC to do RWD donuts in every parking lot at my hospital, then just messed around in the snow. My partner (coworker) has a Jeep, couldn't get up the snow bank but my 4R managed it. Here's one briefly spent on 3 wheels :-)
