What did you do with your 4runner today?

Looks great man! You going to paint the bezel rings around the speedometer? Did you paint the door trim as well? I would like to see some pics if you did.

Hey momo, thanks! I didn't do either the speedo cluster or the doors. I can live with the doors but I might do the speedo cluster. I plan on some CoverKing black and gray seat covers so maybe the doors will blend in.
FWIW, I think if I have to swap out the stereo at some point I'll redo it in satin. The gloss can look like the ghastly silver in the right light!
 
Went on my first official trail run today!! After being scared for so long, I think I'm hooked now. It was so much fun and the lake at the end was so beautiful.

I thought I cleared this rock with my drivers side tire but I ended up sitting on it, just a few scratches as proof of a good time.

[MENTION=75144]crashman[/MENTION] was out too, not with our group unfortunately. I will say a lot of the guys loved your rig!!

Hey piccrazy - what trail and lake is that? I would love to check it out sunrise/sunset

Have you checked out Clazzio seat covers? Those things are awesome.
 
-replaced my 8 sparkplugs
-cleaned the TB
-cleaned the MAF
-installed a URD MAF calibrator (this was much easier than I thought it would be)
-installed an aFe Stage 2 CAI w/dry filter
 
I was worried sick! LUCKILY I was with a crack team of off road engineers, so we all looked at ALL the possibilities, and made a decision of how to go about recovering my truck. After some clever rigging and Hilift work, my truck got out relatively unharmed. I did squash my drivers side exhaust pipe (where it crosses under the t-case/trans)




They do! I want a full belly skid setup. I'm fighting sheered bolts at the moment and I can't seem to get a break. I broke off an easy out inside of one of the bolts I drilled out... I can't win... New England loctite at it's worst

If you have or can borrow a impact drill and use the easy out or bolt removal bit it will work like a champ I have gotten out lots of frozen bolts with my dewalt 1/4" impact drill
just my $.02 :shrug:

I haven't washed it since Saturday, but you get the idea!

Yeah I snapped off an easy out in one of the bolts I drilled out just using my handle. I want to use an air hammer

i was agreeing with you, lt and db is silly


DB in general is silly
 
Id like to make a statement:
Herculiner Bed Liner does not come off your skin. It laughs in the face of gojo, lava soap, dawn, rubbing alcohol, some other stuff I think is for cleaning nasa equipment and scrubbing.
that is all
 
If it makes you feel any better Im in the same boat haha, I requested that RCI notch my cross member to accept the sliders I have and they werent...and then I broke the exhaust hanger bolt and turned back lol. Only installed the radiator/engine skid today.

Also tried out my new auto lock grease gun fitting...absolutely awsome. Last time I couldn't lock onto to some of the fittings on the driveshaft and had to use pliers and constant hand cleaning to tighten the fitting, not press a button and push and locked.

I still feel pretty good having the front on, at least something got done. I am hoping to get away with not having to buy a tap and die set here...

Also the guy who was recommended to me to chop my body mount is not coming through, anyone cut it and NOT cover with a plate? I'm thinking I'll just go buy a sawzall, 20 blades, and get it done.

Mimes not capped. No issues, use a cutting wheel a lot easier.
 
Installed the last piece of my CB system today; the antenna. Took a little digging to get everything right, but I like the results.

How's yours coming along? [MENTION=112961]Captain Texas[/MENTION]

Lots of guys with tacos i know who dont plate them
It makes it easier to clean too
 
Not today but yesterday, I finally figured out what the stupid clanking was in my rear end.. :rofl: For a month or so, I've been trying to hear it as it was a metal to metal type of sound. Well, low and behold, it was the exhaust hitting on the hitch. :suspicious: so I wiggled the hanger quite a bit to try and separate it from the hitch and that did the trick.

Do you guys know of any company which has aftermarket hangers? Like the ones I've purchased in the past for my Subaru/Mitsu. aka polyurethane exhaust hangers?
