What did you do with your 4runner today?

Went to the creek with the pups! Had a blast [emoji16]

Broke the 83,000 mile mark yesterday on a 2003. Tomorrow i'm getting it washed and detailed, then letting my wife drive the 4Runner during the summer. She's a teacher so she'll put fewer mile on it. I drive 50+, sometimes 100 miles a day for work, so i'll drive her 2010 Subaru Forester with 48,000 miles. By doing this, i can hold off on the timing belt and water pump replacement on the 4Runner until the end of the year and not in two months. :snacker:

Whoah. Don't want to get too many miles on the 4Runner! /s

Seriously, I'd rather put the miles on my 4runner given how reliable it has been.
 
Purchased Pioneer AVH5700BHS Head Unit, 8" JL Sub to replace the stock and a JL 250 amp as well!

Can't wait for them to arrive! :rockon:

Added some peg boards to the sides of the back end to mount stuff. Makes that space more usable for me at least. And added a fire extinguisher for camping this summer or whatever may spontaneously ignite around me :shocked:

Ive got that same head unit in mine. Make sure you do the firmware update on it. I couldn't play any videos from USB for about 6 months until the last update. Overall its good but people seem to have trouble hearing me through the Bluetooth.
 
Had my radiator fan clutch go bad in the beginning of day 1 at FJNE. Swapped that it yesterday. It's a lot easier than it looks - 13 bolts and you're done. Pressure washed the back radiator and between both radiators while I was there.

The old fan clutch:

Any detail on what you used to make that mount? I really like the idea and would like to do something similar
 
So when are we having a midwest 4runner meet at the brewery?????

Sounds like a great idea! Once my brewery is done in a few months I'll be able to brew 15.5 gallons at a time. I'm thinking of doing a build thread on here, like you guys do with your rigs to try and be cool since my runner is all stock. Well its been dipped, but that only adds a few horses I'm told. You think that would be frowned upon? I guess I could do it on a brewing forum....:rolleyes:

Please Please Please do a build thread, you can do it in the off topic area. I would love to see your brewery build :yo:

We have been doing just small batches of about 5 gallons, but we also haven't done one in about 8 months with other life events. Love doing it and love the smell of the wort/hops/etc. Good luck and looking forward to it
