That's a lot easier than my method!
What did you do with your 4runner today?

I second, though I'd probably use this for grocery sacks vs. a backpack. :/

5100s all around, moog fj coils in the front set to 1.75 and stock springs with daystar 1.5" spacer in the rear. Love the ride!

lol.....It looks like a Katrina house doesn't it?...haha. Kind of a long story but here it goes....
We have had several issues with that front door area because it has no covering and receives full sun for most of the day. We have already had the entire door encasement replaced once. Since then we have had the front door painted black. We have had to repaint the door just about every year because of the sun damage. Because it was black it would get so hot that it literally started blistering the paint.
In November we decided to go ahead and replace just the door to start fresh and just keep it white. We ordered the door and the company came out to measure for the order. While he was here measuring it we realized there was some rot in the surround of the door below the window.....so we had to go back and order the surround. It was to take 3 weeks....
They came to install the door about a week before Christmas.......but they had mis-measured. They had to reorder the door and surround to put us back another 3 weeks. Then they came to install the second door a couple weeks after New Years. This is where the fun began.
The installers removed the old door and surround. I was downstairs doing work and listening to the steady hammering and cutting. Then there was dead silence followed by "Mr. Spears, could you come here for a second". I knew this couldn't be good. When i got to the gaping hole in the front of our house they showed me an area that should have been wood but was instead swiss cheese. We had live termites eating away at the threshold and part of the sub floor. I immediately called the pest control company we have our termite bond with and they came out. They sent a few guys out and started treating the area and assured me they would be gone but we still had to wait 30 days to install our door. Since they had already pulled the old door out and it wasn't worth trying to patch it up. They just went ahead and framed up the entrance, boarded it up and insulated it. Then they caulked it all up tight for the wait.
30 days went by and the inspector came out and looked around. He said it was fine for them to come back and install the door. It took about a week to get back on the installer's schedule. They came back out, took the temporary wall out and started prepping for the install. Once again i got the call to come to the door. As they were trying to figure out what was good wood and what was bad. We realized that the damage was worse than expected. At this point they had to just reinstall the temporary wall and we had to look for a contractor to come do the work.
For the last several weeks there have been several things come up on our side and the contractor's side that caused the demo work to be delayed. Finally this week they came to tear up our hardwood floors and structure in the foyer, then rebuild. The door was installed today. Another guy is coming to install the new hardwood floors this week and then the contractor is coming back to do all the finish work.
It had been a long few months but at least it will be fixed correctly and not cost us a dime.
Yeah man. That is my new 3G Cruiser. Because of my back i am selling my mountain bike. Since i have been riding this one i haven't had any back pain.
AHAHHA.......not this part.....:becky:

Found a new way to mount my backpack in the back
That looks really good! Great idea.....:first:
Thanks guys! It's a piece from home depot! (Garage storage system accessory, I think this was it, but I just removed the tighten screw Hooktite Short General Purpose Hook: Hang It Up with Sears) I was walking down the aisles, saw the hook, and wondered if it was the same height as that portion of the car. You innovated guys would probably find a better way of mounting it there and making it look better. Happy modding!!!!!!!!
I got the idea from you. Yours looks a lot cleaner, but for 6.99 this isn't bad haha

Thanks
That price certainly is not bad! Plus I'm sure the install was MUCH easier because you didn't have the double deck in the way. I had to pull the deck and carpet in order to remove the rear panels enough to just tighten down two damn bolts. It was ridiculous. I just left the cargo deck out. Not worth the hassle and wasted space

You got a little helper on that project?
My son wanted to go out and ride his bike in addition to watching a crew install conduit for Google Fiber in our neighborhood. That's where he chose to set his water bottle.

Installed a IONE-3800FU dash cam. Not the best picture.
Been wanting to do this for a while but I could not make up my mind on which one to get.
[MENTION=95076]piccrazy30[/MENTION] motivated me to make a decision.
This one has GPS, external video out which I will be connecting to my head unit and the other typical dashcam options such as event tracking and parking mode.

I spent $1300 for everything and another $100 on misc things, coolant, boost gauge. The truck has 149k and the engine has 89k but the S/c has unknown miles. I'll rebuild it if it ever starts making noise.
