What did you do with your 4runner today?

[NJshadow93]

Just clean it off. Or what exactly is it?

Just moisture from the engine not being able to be at operating temp long enough to burn it off.

Went trail riding today with [MENTION=77088]2StepsAhead[/MENTION] and a couple Tacomas. The snow was about 2 feet deep and it was slushy and icy. Made even the easiest trails very difficult. Regardless, it was still a fun time. Looking forward to Spring.

What are you doing down there?

Just getting out of the ghetto hell hole I live in for a while. It's my spring break and decided to do a little road trip instead of the typical Punta Cana/Cancun etc.. Stopped in VA last night, Charleston today and am staying in Savannah, probably hit OBX on the way back

Check your dipstick. That's what emulsified oil looks like (water and oil mixed).

What will my dipstick show?

[marc_l71]

Picked me up a little extra room! Actual it was yesterday....

 

[Brutalguyracing]

I changed the plugs
Wasn't bad
Cleaned up the coil bolts
Looked worse then it was
A few plugs were to freaking tight
Dint think someone used antisieze or they were original
Unsure
Rusted coil bolts

This is how i instal the new ones

Here is the old plugs

Also did an oil change
Oil looked brand new, but i decided to change it anyway so i know its been done
I do need a bigger oil pan tho
Almost over flowed 6-6.5 q

Installed my ez drain
Love this thing

Still got the wet carpet thing going on
Checked the radiator and it was right to the top
Ac drain - i have yet to see it drip

Tried to clear drain with this but could only get it in 5"
(Let the jokes fly)

Wanted to cleanup the headlights
Took seriously 2 mins to go from this

To this meguires plastic polish and a rag

Finished installing my moog bushings in my lcas

This is how i do them "install"

I picked up some of this but haven't used it yet

Anyone know what this is
Block drain?

Still didn't get around to removing sway bars
Diff fluids
Install of diff skid
Always another day

Wired up some LEDs to my dome light

Hey.......

Really like your rig! Would you mind telling me why you're using orange off-road lights? Also I'd like to know your impressions of that kind of lighting system in general. Am I correct in assuming that such lights are for off road only?

Thanx again.

 

[vlafrank]

[MENTION=63211]emelianenkov[/MENTION] :Sorry to hear that. Hope you and your gf are ok.

What he said! Hate having to do that. At my age I've had to do this far too often, and have pretty much made up my mind not to have any more pets.
Having to put them down when they get old and sick just messes with my head too much. Tears me up. I can relate; believe me, I can relate.

If the oil on your dipstick looks like that then you have water in your sump. It's most likely humidity / moisture, hopefully the rest of your oil doesn't look like that.

Nope nothing drained or looked even similar to that during my change. Just the cap.

 

[xpeppyx]

Put my new center caps on. The ones that came with the Level 8 wheels are big, plastic and ugly. So I had these CNC Plasma cut for $10, powder coated for $20 and then the TRD stickers were a few bucks more. They make the wheels look a little more finished than without any center caps.
