What did you do with your 4runner today?

[wnelax04sr5]

I see it as pointless. But that's just my opinion

fair enough, i don't have one so I'm not defending anything, just curious

Hooked up another backup cam on my swingout
Woot
I can see again

Ok so Im a little late posting but between this weekend and last I did:
Black headlight mod
Diff breather extension mod
Wheelers bump stops
Warn 10k winch (surprise early birthday present from the wife)
Did a little shakedown wheeling last weekend on the trails, have a lot of rear fender rub to take care of.
Did a little yard wheeling. The wife was surprised and a little annoyed but it was to evaluate the fender rub so that takes precedence over the yard obviously, so she understood.

By the way, where are y'all organizing the trail runs here in Colorado? I look around on the forums and never see much in the way of trail run planning but I always see the pics after....

Looks great man!

Thanks Jeffrey! The sliders are Hannah bolt on sliders.
Thanks momo, much appreciated!

Took my rig to Toyota today (Bennett Toyota) to have the tires looked at. Last week I took her in for an alignment, they couldn't do it due to a "shifted belt". After calling Michelin, I called for another appointment (today, so Toyota can "take measurements and report them to Michelin") and complained of the belt as well as dry rot on all four tires. Got the call that Michelin is assuming 70% value of the new tires (I only pay 30%). Not bad for a 4 year old tire and 30,000 miles. I guess Michelin does have good customer service! BTW, tires will be in tomorrow, in the meantime, I was given a Sienna to tool around in until tomorrow.

Win!

Got a new set of soles & shoes!

FJ Wheels w/ a used set of Duatrac's (roughly 70%) 285/70/17

 

[kakuno]

well, two weeks after the lift. I see I have a torn boot. Trucks in today for a replacement.

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]

Still can't get mine to mount. Had the idea that the coax cable would support it if I taped it up with enough tension but that didn't work either.

Probably going to axe that project, not a good use of money.

Don't say that. Worst case you get some washers...

Thats awesome
But i can not figure out how a shifted belt prevents toyo from preforming an alignment

I'm thinking you purchased the RS-720NMO version with the larger hole. I ended up getting essentially the same components as you otherwise (stud, spring, etc.), and everything fit well in my RS-720 mount. Like Zak said, throw some washers on the stud and tighten 'er down. All is good. :thumb3:

I've always liked the look of those TRD BBS RWs on the Runners. Great looking truck!

Do the Satoshi grille yourself?

Wow..... I bought the wrong mount...

Plan of action. Buy new washers and see if that works.

If that doesn't, I'll buy the RIGHT mount this time.

So when I said I was axing the project.... Jk

Can't answer that question, but it would piss me off to no end knowing a tire is out of whack and all four are slowly dry rotting. Michelins are known to do that, but the way I look at it, I'm getting 4 new tires (LTX M/S2) for about $300. If "defective" tires have taken me this far, I figure I have new tires for the next 4+ (or more) years. Old warranty carries over, but who cares at this point.

Mimes not capped. No issues, use a cutting wheel a lot easier.

Can you send me a picture? I'd like to know how much can come off with no capping.

I thought the hole for your mount looked bigger than mine.

Just make sure a nylon washer is on top and metal on the bottom. It is important to ground the antenna properly

So today i swapped back in my cvj axle and installed my ext rear brake lines, and replaced a wheel stud
And i just checked and my oil seal is dripping
Always something
Errrr

 

[LTDSC]

bought a new battery, found out my TrueStart has swollen a bit and leaking acid out of both caps onto my posts. I've noticed poor starting lately which is not normal. At least it was easy diagnosis.
