What did you do with your 4runner today?

Swapped in some new led running/turn signals.

Fixed my front tire rubbing issues...see here: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/178472-solution-tires-rubbing-front-mud-flaps.html

Installed an ADDCO rear sway bar and MStudt extended rear links. Even when removing the factory sway bar, it was flexing as I pulled it out. Good thing if you are looking for a lot of articulation, bad thing if you are looking for on-road performance.

The difference in handling is AMAZING. I can't wait to replace the front. If you are a pavement pilot like me, this is a must have upgrade.

I adjusted the links to get the bar as level to the ground as possible, I could have used a little more length actually without coming into contact with the lower control arm, but I wanted at least an inch of thread inside the body of the link. Still, as she sits, it is a night and day difference.

Is that a Gibson exhaust?
 
New gift for my baby.

Factor 55 thimble




So question is Warn pull strap or no pull strap?



Factor 55 timble, Daystar isolator, warn or smittybuilt D Ring
 
Nice set up! How well does she pull your trailer? Is that a 24ft? Thanks!

It's 18' of room, 22' overall. We try to keep everything inside light so it is about 3900#. I use a Blue Ox SwayPro WDH with Prodigy P3 brake controller. It does well overall with this lighter setup, the double axle weight more, but add stability.
 
Finally got some time to relieve some stress and work the 4Runner. I greased all my zerks (LBJ and driveline) as well as started sanding down everything metal under my truck and started to repaint it to bring it back to black. Got my rear diff done as well as some other parts.

I also pulled off all of my Bud Builts to wash them and repaint those but didn't get enough time to do those.

Painted my Panhard bar red to match my budbuilts.

Got too dark to take a picture though.

Good day! :cheers:
 
Finally had these installed!



Took almost 3 hours. Had the spare tire TPMS sensor replaced, only to find out another one had failed (in the past week...). Just gonna disable the light, and take the $90 as a wash.

I understand that my truck is now 11 years old and the sensors only last so long, but damn they're annoyingly expensive. You'd think with the regulations that require these damn things they'd be a bit easier to deal with. :wtf::doh:

Crummy picture installed, but they look great! Hitting the highway later this afternoon, hopefully they ride as good as they look.



Man. Really need to clean my wheels... :wow:

Finally hand-calculated a tank of gas and came up with 19mpg. Not bad. The "Lie-o-meter" isn't off by much, it was telling me 20.1. (bone stock V6, all in 2WD, mixed driving, rural Vermont)

I never got much better than 16 in my '06 V8 over the same terrain.
 
Yes sir! Gibson stainless for V8. Sounds and looks great! Quiet until you really stomp on it.

Clamps aren't the best quality, had one of the bolts snap when I was tightening it down. I replaced it with a Summit Racing brand stainless 2.5 clamp.

Right on. I'm shopping for exhausts at the moment. Seriously considering the Gibson. I don't want out too loud or droning.
 
2014 Trail Wheels and BFG Rugged Terrain

Got my OE 2014 Trail Wheels (mine actually came off an Fj) installed and wrapped in 265/65/17 BFG Rugged Terrains. Took off the running boards too.

Finally got my Gobi ladder in! Waited only a week, but the weird thing was that I never got a confirmation email. Weird.

Going to install tomorrow, this is a pic of what its going to look like.
