What did you do with your 4runner today?

[Brownfaux]

Picked up my wheels from powder coat today. Super stoked on how it came out. Went with a neon yellow with emerald sparkle

What brand of wheels are those? Steelies? I can't quite tell. Love the look

Well I'm pretty sure my drivers side rear hub is going out:yell:

Anyone else had to replace theirs yet?

Thanks, I believe they're some procomp 7032's, with no center caps and the fake beadlock bolts removed

 

[Nyc-Runner]

Drilled out the snapped bolts on my bumpstops which is always a good time and added my MT extended bumpstops

Also fixed my leaky cv boot and added a hose clamp

 

[Nyc-Runner]

Put on the rola basket - it was tough doing it myself - it was an accomplishment; only till I noticed that I put it on backwards. Hahhaa.

Nice wheels bro:thumb3:

 

[wadle5]

And done!

Was away for about 2wks, came back and noticed my truck started a lil sluggish........turned off the car and glanced at my ultraguage...it was showing 10.35volts!........it appears my battery is on its way out, took it out and charged for 24hrs...voltage still below 12volts.....

am suprised this is a toyota true start battery with 84 months warantee [not in the usa, so the warantee isnt useful anymore, though bought the car used 2 yrs ago, so dont know when it was installed.........someone mentioned about adding distilled water to the battery, not sure if its applicable to this type of battery

The trustart batteries are sealed. at least the one I have installed is sealed battery...
most batteries have manufacturer dates on them for when it was produced, try looking around on the battery a bit but not sure that will help as you're not near a toyota dealer...

2.5 caster is factory spec, more than that will create tighter steering. Less than that will create loose, sloppy steering.

most alignment shops set the camber to zero and toe to zero, then move on to the next vehicle.. Interesting to know All pro UCA's add a good deal of caster how much lift do you have in the front?

I have a 2.5in daystar spacer in the front.

The steering feels normal to me and it doesn't rub on the fender liner anymore.

Do you think it's ok as is or should I go back and get them to get it closer. Looking at the at the before and after sheet they didn't change it at all. All the clerk said was that it was maxed out.

Camber is -.02 on both and Toe is .04 on both if that has anything to do with it.

I don't know. Camo, natural wood, Central Asian rug . . I'm not feeling the sense of Feng Shui I need to enjoy the space.

Funny stuff - camo is temp till we pick out some material for proper drapes. I told Mrs. Manfu I wanted to put in the Lazy Boy recliner, end table and lamp in the back for this weekends Turkey Rod Run Car Shows - just as a goof. She obviously shot the idea down.

It's a work in progress, constantly changing. I'll finish the roof this week and got some black vinyl to cover the glowing white seat bases.

Needs a few more coats of stain on the rear trim piece to get it darker and match the floor.

Look - no camo!

Yet to decide on the lower 1/3. Most will be covered by a sleeping platform and counter top/desk. But for now it's 1/8 birch and utility ply.

Removed caps because balancing issue

[MENTION=87178]NuclearN8[/MENTION] found out they arent sealed...the top pops off with lil upward pressure to reveal 3 cells each side, no way to really tell if it needs topping up with water or not.....since its already on its way out, will top it up and see how it goes.guess i got nothing to loose

here is a link to what i think i a possible cause, would appreciate some input from the house.

I finally took care of something that I knew just HAD to be done on this 4Runner since the day I bought it:

BEFORE



AFTER





Now I just need to do wire up those rear fogs! :rockon:

 

[momo.75]

I have a pair of those red reflectors for the bumper that i have already trimmed out for a pair of LED lights. I was going to install them for extra reverse lights but it is looking like i won't need them or the lights.

We're the caps the issue?

 

[LTDSC]

We're the caps the issue?

indirectly i think they were. They fit snug around the centric rings so in a way it could cause it to not fit snug when torqued. So far its been fine.
