What did you do with your 4runner today?

$5 well spent on a 3/4 shackle

Broke in my new Mityvac!

Oil changed and Mityvac cleaned out in probably less than 20 min.

I love not having to drop the skid plate or crawl under the vehicle.


It was much cleaner and easier than any oil change I ever have done. Wow. Money well spent!

Now on to a brake bleed, transmission, differential, transfer case and radiator fluid exchange!
 
yet another mod..............................

Took advantage of the 4th of July sale vLeds is having. 25% discount on almost all of their stuff. You can't beat that with a stick. Anyway, ordered their Triton V3, Switchback system. 5K (also available in 6K, but that was too "blue" for me"). For those interested, sale end tomorrow (July 6).

Took advantage of the relatively cool weather and headed out to joshua tree national park. also played in some puddles due to the flash flooding in 29 palms. added photo album.
 
Sure love your '03 man, Looks great. Any plans for mods in the future?

Thanks! Ive got an OEM rack coming in the mail tomorrow, and im trying to convince my wife that we need at least all-terrain tires. maybe some sliders later on (i will just tell her that they are steps), fj springs with bilstein 5100's. right now im searching for a good double din stereo to replace the factory one. how about you?

What size bulb? The guide says 1156, but vleds offers 1157 in the switchbacks, looks the same, will it work? Thanks.

What size did you order? The 1157? The guide says 1156 but they don't have that size in switchbacks, looks the same, thanks.

Sweet, sure will look great. I myself am currently looking at lift options, I'm really liking toytecs boss coilover lift. Also some rock sliders, roof rack and front and rear demello bumpers. I want to be able to handle the rough terrain we have here in BC, and do some nice long trek throughout the west coast. Sure will be a fun build and I'll make sure to post regular updates on the site.
 
Can't wait to install these on Friday

Took my inspiration for the shrouds from a pic [MENTION=93434]gshadow325[/MENTION] posted a while ago
 
Ran a few errands tonight...

Not the least of which was taking my Billy Barou (Adams Insight XTD 3FW)over to Golfsmith for a new grip.
 
Well, it was a two day process but i did a complete paint restoration on my truck. Started off with the Adam's Clay Bar, then hit it with machine polisher/Adam's Paint Correction Polish and Adam's Paint Finishing Polish. After those two polishes i used Adam's Machine Super Sealant and buffed it out. That sealant needed to set up over night so i moved on to the wheels, tires and chassis. I used Auto Finesse Mint Rims high temp wheel wax for the Methods. Chemical Guys Natural Shine for the tires and Chemical Guys Bare Bones for the wheel wells and undercarriage......then sleep.....today i finished it up with hand apply coat of Adam's Brilliant Glaze then buffed. Last paint step was two coats of Adam's Americana Carnuba wax. To finish her off right i tried a new product on my cladding, Shine Supply Trim Shine. This stuff is great. It was a little more thick than the Natural Shine i had been using so i think it will last much longer......it was getting dark so i wash' able to get any pics so i will post some tomorrow. It looks better than the day i bought it.
