Finished up the test fitting for my shifter switch panel. Time for bondo and paint and to figure out one last switch to fill my blank space.
(
) Very nice! Got enough switches there? Maybe do the VSC mod if you haven't already?
What did you do with your 4runner today?

Can never have enough switches! Good call on the vsc but I already picked up a vsc switch for one of the dash blanks. Might do a switch to flip on all the interior lights.

Same here but more like 2 months for me.

Ha yep..just couldn't resist. Cool mod though.
I also noticed a white glow from the lower, parking light spot...you throw an LED in there too? I had one in there last year but ended up taking mine out as the colors didn't match up with my otherwise factory lights.

Replaced idler pulley, tensioner pulley and belt
Rock auto sent me incorrect part
Pulley was almost 3/4" smaller
Chilton is incorrect
Then started the wiring to rear view camera through tailgate
What a pita that was
I will never run another wire through there again

At the risk of looking like an idiot, what did Chilton have wrong? I'm not seeing it.

Led part 2
Fresh blue leds everywhere, also new dei 629 board i took off the housing. Was going to do white, but that was not going to match the steering wheel cover scanner.

it was just to test and see what it would look like, might put them back in if i convert to hid's. doing the DRL mod may not seem like much but it lights p the sides of the road really well

Rinsed the inch or so of salt off it the other day, there's still a film of salt on it, didn't have the time to wash it :tinfoil3:

Also you pull the tensioner clockwise to release tension.
Plus getting to the idler bolts is much easier if you DON'T remove the AC compressor. Trust me on this. It's the biggest PITA in the world. Took me 6 hours to replace the damn AC compressor

Chiltons says the procedure for removing tensioner and pulley is remove belt, remove 3 bolts and replace
Hahaha
I already changed the tensioner pulley "pulley only" and idler and belt
But i bought 2 idler pulleys as chiltons said there were 2
Cant wait to swap out an alternator
Technically I didn't do anything yet, but I did get these in the mail today. Thanks Downsouth Motorsports! Still have to decide if I want to run my stock springs in the rear or the Moog FJ springs I have sitting around. I'm already at 36" in the rear stock and the front coilovers only add 2" and I'm at 33" in the front right now. I'll just have to experiment I guess.
Also got my center caps back from powdercoat.

This was yesterday, though never the less.
Helped my little sister get this 4R!! It's only 2WD, she doesn't need 4X4. 100k Miles, 06.

Is that ground to fender? I'm at 38.5 front and 40 rear on 32's... 3" lift my ass.
Yup, just went and double checked from ground to fender. A hair over 33" front both sides, and 35.75" both sides rear. On stock size Terra Grapplers.

Alternator is easy (I have easy access with my bumper). It's the AC compressor that is a PITA

my roommate is convinced that my 4runner isn't lifted, he says every other 4runner is just lowered. i can't even imagine it ever being that low again
