What did you do with your 4runner today?

Well, my work truck got hit and can't operate until fixed, and have time now.

Yesterday, decided to put my street tires back on yes, HT tires and rims, yes stock size, yes why you down sizing I know, :bash:
Since I was in there, decided to check on the torque of my uca bolts and add Loctite to them as the upper one has been noted of backing off, and since I have the adjustable ball joint ones, Loctite them also, re torqued.

Have the tire off, check the spacers also.

Been having on occasion, while starting, the rear wiper doing it's wipe thing for the last 3 months. Better just take care of that problem. Sears had a saleand stopped, so got ahold of them on line and they honored the $231 sale. Whoo hooo.

So I picked this one up as suggested by many others on this site with all the extras I have like them. IMG_20140428_134117.jpg

Hey, I run HT tires! Nothing wrong with it!
 
Fell in love with my '06 again this morning! 0530, pitch dark outside, driving rain. Bridge on my country road was piled about 3.5 feet high with debris from flash flooding. A lady was trying to clear some of it with a shovel so she could get through in her Chevy pick up. I told her I was going for it...put the 4R in 4wd and crawled right over the logs and sticks like nothing was there. She laughed and kept shoveling the (now somewhat compressed) pile of debris. Damn thing gets me to work on time, every time :)

"Let" my wife take it to work (I work from home) so I could get her Prius inspected (a yearly thing here in VT).

:D

What a gentleman. Not only did you leave a lady to do the heavy lifting, but made her job harder. :becky:

I just got my 2008 SR5 V6 on Friday, and all I did today was drive it to work and drive it home. Maybe something cooler will happen one of these days.

Wanted to try my grill in black which led to part of the front and rear bumper also going black.

Finally found another 4runner to take a picture by as a before and after. I'm so happy with the results!

What, no picture of you doing the BOOTY BUMP with her. LOL.

When you do the lifts on these, it doesn't really look like it did much until you put your self next to a stock one.

BTW... nice looking runner there.
 
Since I'm not able to go back to work due to trucks in the shop, and have time to kill and do these cheap mods to reinforce areas that take a lot of damage, and really can't afford to buy beefed up parts. Got busy with my skills and some scrap steel laying around.

One of my adventures I bent my rear LCA, so had a spare to start out with.

Will do the other tomorrow. See if this helps against them giant bolders out there.
