What did you do with your 4runner today?

More like what I did over the last 3 days but timing belt/water pump is in and she runs great. I dont know if its just in my head but she seems to run smoother. Looks like i did it at the right time as well.

Started bidding on some 5th gen rims. Hoping I get them! Mine are pretty rough (peeling, corroding, leaking).. Previous owner probably never cared to wash them.

Bad news was that i had a maintenance light come on the other day so I figured it was a good time to pick up an obd2 module. Good news was that It came in today and I checked everything to find zero codes. Didn't realize the light is only for periodic maintenance/oil change reminder and can be cleared without a scanner through the odometer reset and ignition. Regardless the scanner was a steal and now I've got it just in case for later down the road.

More bad news, in the process of doing all this checking, when I went to restart the truck it wouldn't turn over. After a quick jump it fired right up. Pretty sure the Panasonic has seen the last of it's days.
 
What did I do to my 4runner today?

I thought about doing some mods to that 03 4x4 metalic silver V8, but didn't have time yet. My daughter drove it last Xmas.
I had that Runner since ... 06.

The Silverado that she hit didn't look much better. Both drivers were safe & sound.

Sorry to hear, but Metal is Metal and Hearing your daughter is safe and sound post an accident, is the best news possible :yo: ..
 
I went for a drive because gas is cheap. I saw a fluffy coyote with its winter coat, but it ran away before I could get a picture. Most of the forest service roads were closed, but I found a snowy one that was still open. I drove up it for a while, but I had to turn around as it was getting dark and the snow was getting deeper.

I went to the manual carwash and put the pressure washer inside some holes in the frame rails. There was tons of mud caked in there, and I got out most of the mud I can see. When I have a bigger place, I'll probably invest in a pressure washer because $1 a minute adds up fast.
 
Hello all, new to the forum, but not new to cars. Got my 4th gen a few weeks ago, and couldn't stand the inability to listen to music off my phone. Did some research, and figured out how to hook up a Scion HU to a JBL system. Not a lot of information out there for the JBL setup, but it's not that difficult. Sounds perfectly good enough for my non-audiophile ears.

Ran through Flagpole Knob off of 33W here in Harrisonburg. I went out in my 4runner while my buddy was in his pathfinder. While the trail is pretty mild, that which the pathfinder struggled with, the 4runner took it with ease. Ice was really the most difficult to navigate and there was plenty of it.

Can someone explain why my pictures are never right side up when they show up normally everywhere else?

does that scion unit have RCAs? did you use an off the shelf TATO harness?

Nope, no RCAs. Here's the parts I used:

PT546-00120-AD Antenna Adapter- (You'll only need the part that plugs into the antenna)
PT546-00120-CH- Accessory Harness Adapter- Steering wheel controls, etc.
Metra TYTO-01- Converts the analog output of the head unit to the digital signals the Synthesis amp is looking for.
71-1761- Reverse Wiring Harness- Allows you to plug the converter into the Scion head unit without hacking up any vehicle wiring.

Optional:
PT546-00120-US- USB/Aux Adapter
PT546-74120-MC- Bluetooth Mic, but also necessary to enable bluetooth functionality for A2DP streaming.

I did that a couple weeks ago to the front cab mounts, I was amazed at how much crap came out. I'll be doing that more often from here on out.
