What did you do with your 4runner today?

Packed all my shop tools into the truck and left the shop. Got laid off today, along with 3 other guys.. Shitty feeling for sure. Oh well :/

I'm taking advantage of my new free time though! More truck mod installs coming in the next week! Tackling my projector retro tomorrow, then lift install and alignment Sunday!

That sucks dude. Well, they say when one door closes, another one opens.............

Sorry to hear. It's time to focus full time on school and getting that completed ASAP.
 
I've had it for 2 weeks. Replaced driver side door actuator and latch, factory key and remote unlock, door stop cut down so it doesn't hit window (that door is all 'psycho girlfriend'. Looks okay on the outside, but...), Replaced shifter sliders and jack hatch cover. It's needing some TLC.

Today, I let 12 PSI out of the tires. Stealer I bought it from had it jacked up to 48 PSI (tire says 44 Max right on it). Ran it over some train tracks, dips and speed bumps and, as if by magic, it doesn't feel like driving a covered wagon anymore.
 
Man i have been in that situation 4 times! Very bad feeling! But make sure you start looking and keep on looking..... Good luck brother!


Might have something lined up. I'd HATE to do this 4 times!

Thanks man!

Really sorry to hear this..... Getting laid off is never good but hopefully it will be an opportunity to find something better.....


Starting school full time, living on campus, so I was going to be leaving anyway, but I didn't want to leave 2 months early. I feel bad for the guys close to retirement that got laid off :/

That sucks dude. Well, they say when one door closes, another one opens.............


Fingers crossed

Two more years of school! I'm gonna be living on campus now so I can get it out of the way and then be able to work full time and not have to worry about school anymore
 
Day one of layoff: got my retros installed. My 3 year old nephew thinks it looks like a transformer

Started changing out the silver trim color on the interior. Changing it to a dark grey metallic.
It looks much better than the picture portrays

Where did you find those retros?? I love them! I want to copy you now:hail:

Haha thanks! I painted the shrouds myself.

I used Morimoto Mini H1's with the Gatling gun shrouds. For the halos I used 70mm Morimoto XB LED halos. They look really good both on and off, plus they're BRIGHT, so I have functioning DRL's and turn signals!

Everything was purchased through retrofitsource.com but I bought the projectors, shrouds, bulbs and ballasts used from a member on TW. I got a new relay harness and the halos from TRS

Dude..... Wow! Looks sooo much better than just silver
 
I've been thinking about doing this too. What paint are you using?


Nothing special, just rattle can Rustolem

I did sand it to get rid of scratches and nicks and I used a plastic paint prep to remove any grease or oil.

I put a couple coats of clear on after the grey.
 
Nice day

Biking, oil change, and added maintenance helpers.
EDIT: why are my pictures so huge.... and all taken with the same phone at same setting but two are larger than the first???

Does look really good! I was on the road this past week and was looking at the interior colors of mine. I was wondering how darker seats would look but didn't think about the silver trim. That is a good idea! Good job!
 
FJ & Daystar suspensions came and I got to work

Definitely need to get some aftermarket Upper Arms In :)
