What did you do with your 4runner today?

I'm taking it to be Speedlined (like Line-X) soon. Gotta take the dip off to apply that:)

Now to just pick a color...I'm leaning toward Galactic Gray...thoughts?

I love my Galactic Gray! What's it going to run you to have it Line-X coated??
 
i had them and sold them after everyone kept breaking the arms and the ball joints. The ball joints begin failing around 10k miles on some. There is of course those who have had amazing success with them.

Im using uniball Total Chaos arms. I think uniball is overkill in most applications on here so i would do the Camburg arms with the ball joint pressed in for you and your application. Little bit more expensive than LR, but 100% worth it.

I agree that the uniball can be a bit overkill but if you have the means I would highly recommend them. The difference between the Camburg prepressed ball joint UCA and the uniball is under $150 and IMO I would much rather deal with the minimal maintenance of a dry lube uniball than a greasy ball joint. If I could convert all my balljoints to a uniball I would. You don't have to worry about tearing rubber boots or oozing grease. Plus although I haven't needed to replace one yet the uniball replacement seems to be a pretty simple job.

i do not need the uniballs for my application and i live in CO, therefore went with the camburg BJ arms for winter road protection. picked up a set of OEM arms for $20 to salvage the BJs, so it cost me like $400 all said and done. but, im not sure you can get just the arms from wheelers anymore for $380, seems like you have to go the $530 route w/ the BJs already installed.

Very nice guys. Thanks for letting me pick your brains. I dont have the NEED for them right now, but I will in the near future. Very nice to actually get some help around here.

Yesterday I sold my 285/75r16 "Kenda" tires. They would not balance right, so I sold them for a $200 loss. Does anyone know how well General grabbers do in light mud? I hunt, and dont want to worry about sliding all over the place after buying an all terrain. (Thanks Alabama)

There's a place about an hour and a half from me that's gonna do it for $1,200!:bluejump:

ETA:

Found someone local who is gonna Line-X it for just a little more! Woohoo!

Yesterday, oil and filter change, replaced both trans cooling lines (rust fail), removed both shields under engine to get better view of rust damaged front cross member (it's bad) (trying to decide how to proceed with cross member repair), noted imminent failure of power steering liner due to rust (will have to order new one asap). Have had better days. :sad:
 
Couple says ago had the plan to do UCAs, tie rods, and replace a frozen caliper.

Only had enough time to do the UCAs since I had family in town and had to tend to them. Love the look of them as well as the performance on road!

Maybe next weekend I'll get to the caliper and tie rods.
 
DA FUCH???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Should I pump excess out, how bad is this?? Don't know how long it's been like this.

A turkey baster might not work. It's not just an open tank, there's stuff under the cap that keeps fluid from splashing but also keeps you from pumping it out very easily. If it's full enough you might be able to get it out, but I know you can't drain the reservoir from the top very easily. A small diameter tube might work, but the large tube on my fluid transfer pump (3/8"?) did not let me get anything out.

You should do the procedure for checking fluid level. I can't remember exactly, but I think you turn the ignition off and pump the brake 40 times. Then you either check the level at that point, or turn it on and check after the pump is done running. Look it up in the service manual.

If you had any brake work done in the past, then recently put on new pads, that could cause it to be overfilled since the new pads require the pistons to be pushed back in.

Received my tonneau hooks in the mail, from a Toyota dealer. Apparently Toyota thinks "fawn" is grey and "stone" is brown?

Sent my OEM headlights in for retrofitting. Painted black housings, FX-R projectors, Panamera shrouds with Morimoto XSB halos mounted inside, and Morimoto 5500K bulbs. Excited!

Got my TRD wheels and Goodyear Wranglers a week or so ago. Started debadging yesterday in prep for summer detail work. Replacing K&N filter system sometime this week. Grille mod in the upcoming weeks. Suspension tweak by the end of summer. New to the forum so pics will come soon. Wheels, in black, look very nice and may have been some of the last ones sold before Toyota put a "stop sale" on them.

Hey guys, this is my first post! Yesterday I got my kenwood HU wired up and installed. It was a pain in the butt trying to figure out the Urbanrunner harness. It sounds much better though. (Sorry for the crappy phone pic)

holy cow...i should get back to retrofitting headlights!!!

glad im doing my RX330 retro with my own labor for under $400 parts.
I'm only getting the low beams done atm (bixenons), at some point I may get the high beams done with bixenons too in the same style. I think it should look sweet. Gotta save up for that one though...
