What did you do with your 4runner today?

Drove my brother to pick up his own 4th gen! Silver 05 SR5 V6 4WD with 103K miles.. Pics coming soon:clap2:
 
Closed a deal today for TRD offroad suspension from a '14 Taco w 3k miles on it and some front Daystar spacers-now need to find the time to install it.
 
[MENTION=87687]LTDSC[/MENTION] 's build thread convinced me to throw together my own extended rear swaybar links instead of buying the expensive Wabfab ones... which are essentially the same thing. Took me a little while with my dinky dremel/cutoff wheel combo, but they came out great.

Decided since it was gonna be 109° out that I'd take the day off and hit Folsom Lake instead of baking at work.

I was heading through Roseville at about 830 tonight and my outside temp guage said 105 degrees. What's the water levels like at Folsom?
 
If they repair, thats going to be a lot of mud on your rear quarter! Just leave the "trail damage" and then upgrade your rear bumper???

The rear quarter is crushed, and folded. I told the guy doing the estimate that I'd really prefer that it gets replaced with new parts. Way too much damage to just leave as is, it's totally crushed in. I just don't think they'll be able to get it folded back out to look right if they repair it.

Yeah to correct the panel, and then part of the rail behind the light there is just time consuming work. Now the issue you will have is they replace the entire quarter and now have to paint match the entire panel with the car as opposed to just the smaller patch work. Its basically shop preference.

Good Luck SIR!
 
Good thing it isn't on your dime.

On another note i got shipping confirmation that my DO bumper will be here Tuesday. Was hoping it would be here by the weekend but Tuesday isn't bad. At least i am not waiting months for it
 
Ordered a Volvo part.

Ordered one for my Civic a while ago and love it. Took measurements of my 4Runner's "Oh sh** handle plugs" and the holes are identical to the kit. Hmmmm. The OEM sunglass holder isn't big enough for my Oakleys and the pending GX470 overhead console (to be installed) is even smaller. First world problems.

Anyway, ordered.
