What did you do with your 4runner today?

[emelianenkov]

Aimed my headlights from 25' away. I got the center of the beam to 36"

Now... Those of you who have messed with projectors... the two step-ups from the projectors; should those be over each other, not spaced out like they are here?

Yeah, you are good to go. My projectors are set up that way. It does seem like they should "go over each other" to prevent that "dim" area, but that would create a "2 incline" effect (which I did have set up before I realized my mistake). Seems weird, but you are good to go!

 

[emelianenkov]

It's just obnoxious when I go on twisty roads because when coming down an incline I lose two chunks from my field of vision... Directly in my field of vision.

I rode with a 4th gen guy who did a retro on his and I believe his were overlapping. I might try to do that. (I was accidentally adjusting the horizontal screw on the passenger headlight, so that might explain why they're off

Replaced the rear calipers, discs and pads. Bled with te one man bottle and pedal pushed down with a shop vac tube, cracked the bleeder and the pump ran or 3-4 seconds.

Chased the lug treads and cleaned the parking brake linings a bit too.

Using those 2 8x1.25 bolts to crack the rotors loose was clutch in the passenger side, it really banged when the disc released.

I think I got my money's worth out if those rotors, they look fairy heat stressed.

I went to the flea market today with my husband and I parked at the end of the row next to a post and he parked on the other side of me. When I left my unlock let me know someone triggered the alarm but the 2way never went off. I walked her 3 times and didn't find anything.

Later at home sitting on the porch admiring my Runner I noticed a 1 1/2 in dent in the back door drivers side, running vertical.

WTF, People need to have respect for other peoples sh!t. :mad2:

Sorry to hear this. People can be very inconsiderate.

 

[xpeppyx]

It's taken me 2 days to get to this point, been struggling with my wiring harness, but I'm pretty pleased with the look. Still haven't finished the 1st headlight.

 

[t-rex grrr]

Sweet! Looking forward to seeing the end result.

Damn! Sorry to hear that Marie! Do you have sliders? I usually hear a loud PINGGGG when people throw their doors into my slider haha.

Oh dear lord, that looks INCREDIBLE!!!! I am interested in seeing the end result soon

 

[Desert Fox]

Packed up the gear and prepared everything to head out to Ouray tomorrow morning.

Today is wash and wax day.

 

[piccrazy30]

Do you have sliders?

Yes, but this was halfway up the door and nobody could park on that side of me. Only small cars will hit my sliders, even a stock runner will hit the door, I tried with my moms.

Nice! I'm doing a similar setup with rigid duallys.

Very nice! should keep us updated on the end results and output. Why did you also blackout the DRL/turn signal housing?

I just found 2 bad dings right on my driver door where I look every single day, people f'ing suck!

Damn, you just had to go and 1-up my retro didn't you? Those things look amazing!

I don't like the look of the DRL/turns in the headlight, wanted a cleaner look. I had CBI put turn signal holes in my bumper that arrives tomorrow. So I'm going to run round LED turn signals on the bumper and don't need them in the headlight housing.

Stopped by TRS today and got my harness issues sorted. If it stops raining here I'll hopefully get this headlight buttoned up and installed.

 

[piccrazy30]

where I look every single day

Thats the problem for me too and every time I see it I pissed all over again.

Hey [MENTION=63211]emelianenkov[/MENTION] quit showing off those springs your making me jealous, now I need make something purple on mine.

 

[Synister]

Following my Icon / TC UCA install, my right front was making a strange squeaking noise. I had read that Uniball UCAs do make noise and figured it was either this or possibly my sway bar bushing. So yesterday I finally (1k mi since install) get it up on a lift and notice the the right front coil is not seated all the way in the lower spring perch and the coil is actually rubbing on the shock body!! A quick whack with a sledge hammer re-seated the coil and the squeaking noise is gone.

I also removed my front sway bar, installed Wheelers Offroad Superbump stops and built / installed some semi-custom rear sway bar end links per this link using heims and energy suspension urethane bushings. I also had to re-locate my rear resi's. All in all it was a lot of little things that needed to be done. Im still not sure about keeping my front sway bar off, its definitely a lot more tippy. Anyone who says they didn't notice a difference is crazy!
