What did you do with your 4runner today?

Trying to solve my rumble strip transmission issue, I took it to have a Transmission fluid flush. 220 out the door...says they did the 100% flush and charged me for 10 quarts of Transmission fluid so we'll see if this fixes it. I could tell it was better on the drive home, but still there a little. But I've also heard that it takes around 50 miles for the new fluid to get 'worn in' and evenly distributed throughout the torque converter. Time will tell...
 
Messed around at work. Removed dealer badge yesterday. I'm working on trading my old subwoofers to get some new tires.

Spent another 12 hours staring at my lonely truck through the security cameras, wishing I could go work on her :(

Going to bed for now. Most the way done. Gotta wire the TRD ECU and route the belt etc....not too bad so far.

Great work! That engine has got to be counting it's lucky stars...goes from sitting in a parts garage, gets swapped into a sweet 4Runner - then not even a couple weeks later it's getting supercharged! Talk about a 2nd chance!
 
Mounted up my new RCI skids that showed up on the front porch yesterday!!! Awesome product! Can't wait to test them out at the Lone Star Jamboree in just a few more weeks! Also got the confirmation that my Shrockworks front bumper is completed and will be at my front door next week! Ahhhh I love when things all come together!!!
 
I finished my Pioneer X5600BHS install. The ASWC worked perfectly once I soldered in the new Toyota specific harness. No splicing wires! It was a PITA to shoehorn the TYTO into the back there. That's a huge device for what it does.

The iPhone integration was a little wonky. I have to play with it some more. Part of the issue could have been using an old jailbroken iPhone 4 on 6.1.3 with no sim card.

Well I was hoping that it would sound a lot better, but really I think it highlights how crappy the JBL system has become over the years. I'll probably end up replacing all the speakers and the amp eventually. Right now I'll just enjoy the new features of the Pioneer.

I have a full set of Alpine Type-S that sound great with the stock amp, let me know if you'd be interested

Nice work, I know it is a PITA fitting it all in!... I haven't replaced speakers except Sub and did find that replacing the sub with it's own amp improves overall sound even with stock speakers (more power to the regular speakers that way so they run cleaner/louder(no amp clipping) while of course seriously better bass overall).
