What did you do with your 4runner today?

I removed XREAS!!! And installed my ToyTec/Bilstein 5100 lift kit today, now to wait for the rear coils to come in to make it look even.

The condensed version:
Took truck in for timing and drive belts.
Friend picked me up and went on a hike (Tom's Thumb for you locals).
I came within 2 feet of a rattlesnake which sent me 2 feet and a 45* angle in the opposite direction. Drawers stayed clean, thankfully.
Had a great burger and went to pick up the truck, which was nicely washed.
On the way home, tried to change lanes to the center one from the right after looking and flipping blinker. A Porsche comes flying up next to me out of nowhere (60+? mph in a 45) changing to the center as well from the left lane! Again, drawers stay clean. Porsche speeds off, switching lanes a few more times, back and forth, before pushing into a right turn lane.
Would have sucked to spend that $$$ only to have that idiot trash my truck.

is Tom's Thumb open this time of year? It was closed when I was up there last month. I was bummed.
 
I replaced the front abd rear brake lines at the axles with stainless, replaced upper and lower ball joints, installed LR UCA, replaced LCA bushings, replaced the tierod ends, installed bilsteins front set at 1.75, fj springs all around, 1.5" daystar rear spacer, firestone airbags.

In the next week I should have spidertrax 1.25" wheel spacers, stock sport rims, body mount chop if needed, fender trimming, and toyo open country 285/70r17 installed.
 
Hoping to not get flamed for this one but here it goes lol

Looks clean. I had a 91 with a wings west kit, gsr wheels, suspension and some other goodies. It was a fun car to build. I was part of a nor cal crx club lol. Doubt it's still around but some of our meets we would have 15 or so rides come out. Good times.
 
I did this about a month ago, it definitely lights up the rear much more especially if your windows are tinted.

These are the bulbs ones I used. Amazon.com: Philips 12841B2 White Exterior Vision LED Bulb (Pack of 2): Automotive

Here is comparison pic at night:

Man I miss my CRXs too. I had an 86 Si and a 91 Si. I keep telling the wife that it is popular now to get these and restore them....maybe some day.
 
alright.. lets get back on topic with 4runners..:gun6:

A crx was my first car. I had 2 of them.. Both crashed. Because I was a RACER..lol

Lucky enough not to kill anybody.

Also had 2 eg hatch.. My last one had a b20 motor with integra type r head.. and ek, SI trans. All type r suspension and wheels. Delsol seats.

It was pretty fast to run off mustangs. But it was never fast enough. I was planning on boosting it. After turning 25, I woke up one day and decide to get rid of it.. There is a reason why insurance is cheaper after you turn 25.

Traded it with a 18 year old kid for a 2000 4 door honda accord. His grandma bought it for him. He said his friends made fun of him for having a granny car.
Some Friends!!

He was stoked on the trade, more so than I was. I bet none of his 18 year old friends, had what he had. This was when fast and furious just came out.. An eg type r hatch was top shit. Especially one with built motor.

Anyhow I wish I never got into street racing.. I dumped a lot of money and got into a lot of trouble.

Yup, its open. When we got to the top there were signs to be quiet as falcons had a nest in the proximity. Maybe they shut it down while the falcons were building their nest or the chicks just hatched.
