What did you do with your 4runner today?

So what are you all doing about f up rear parking brakes
Id like to just eliminate
The fing brake
Shits just clicking while i drive now
They were frozen
I could not find the adjuster
I used a bfh and some bolts
Which stripped out
So i might pick up some grade 8 bolts and have at it
The noise now is driving me nuts
Why does the simple shit always give me problems errr
 
Grabbed my camping equipment for one last trip next weekend.

I put two coats of POR15 semi gloss on both of the factory skid plates while I had them off. They weren't too bad, but there was definitely a few rust spots.

Also removed the charcoal filter, ordered some extended sway bar links, and drank a beer. :)
 
Decided it was time for some long travel, Metal Tech here I come

Rack finished....Stupid phone pics....If it looks familiar, it's because it started life as a Rage powersports roof basket. We added 28" to it, added light tabs and low mount brackets.

Tip: Want a heavy duty draw bolt? A 1"x 1/4" flat bar cut to 1 1/2" will slide in the factory rails. Drill it with a 9/32 drill bit and tap it with a 5/16 tap.

The open space between the rails has a panel that will go in it's place when done.

Still may do a repaint, and install the security bolts. I finished another project Saturday, I'll get some pics later...
About to build my test/prototype quick release/adjustable sway bay links. If it goes as planned, I'll have about $25 in the pair.

I installed a Toytec front diff drop (yes, I know you don't need it....but I like my axle angles as close to stock as I can get) and re-installed my factory skid plates.

Can you tell which part was POR15'd? :)

Today was my 2 year anniversary with my 4Runner. How does it react to that? It wouldn't start this morning and I had to have my sister drive me into work :redbrick:

Luckily it ended up just being a loose negative battery terminal but still! First time it ever left me stranded!
