Went to get an alignment, caster turned out surprisingly fine but camber was effed on one side due to the seized cam issue. Time to get the saw out and fix that.

Did my first oil change since installing the Fumoto valve. It was ridiculously easy, no jacking the car up, no jack stands, nothing. The oil change took me less time than it took to go buy the oil and filter. Nice!

Aren't they awesome? I installed one on my 07 Civic. I change the oil on my 4R about once a year, so I never saw the need to install one, but....................

You'll like those LBJs for exactly the reason of what I did to my 4Runner today.

Greased my LBJs as well as my entire driveline and replaced front brakes.

Driveline bump is gone! Why have i been putting this off!!??:lmao:

 

[having fun]

Finally finished wiring in a fuse box on the interior, and hooked up lights and switches this weekend. Took the kid to p/u some BBQ and hit the park up for a picture shot and eat.

I love my weathertechs this should be one of the first things on everybody's mod list!

2nd mod that should be on everybody"s list haha makes changing your oil a breeze! Highly recommended..

I need to do my passenger side lower BJ, probably just going to end up doing both sides. I also ordered the moog bj's with the zerks fittings. How easy was the instal? I hear they can be a little bit of a process, also do you guys think its worth it to do the bushings at the same time? I know this means more work but i figured while i'm in there..

Install was kind of a b***h, not gonna lie. the ball presser i rented did not have the right size receiver tube. so i looked around and nowhere else had the size i needed. so ended up getting another piece of metal tubing that was close to the size i needed, cut it to fit and made it work with the presser. other than that it just takes some major muscle to torque that baby out.
and for the bushings, i like to do everything at once so I would knock them out if you really wanna at the same time

I read in another lower bj post about somebody else having the same issue with not having the right size receiver to press it. I think they did something similar to what you did and just fabbed up they're own. I know [MENTION=47269]Darklight[/MENTION] did his and i think everything worked out fine, maybe i'll hit him to see what kit he rented. I was thinking they might be a little easier to press in and out once off the truck since i'll have to take them off anyways to to the bushings but idk it might not make a difference?

Jared, it is actually easier to press the ball joints on/off while on the vehicle, unless you have a good vise to hold them. As for the ball joint press kit. Get the biggest one you can find. Get a big cheater bar too. I used a breaker bar with about a two foot pipe over it. Just row them off and back on. When putting them back on make sure they start off evenly with the zerks facing the right way. Good luck with everything.
