What did you do with your 4runner today?

Went to the beach with my friends lifted ram and my friends lifted lx470 aka land cruiser.
btw, no air was taken out of any of our tires, lol

Just went and got it aligned (Lifetime Alignment FTW). It was pulling a bit to the right and I had some free time. Drives straight again. Also got out some air that was still in the front left brake line. It brakes much better/straighter now as well.
 
Finally gave the runner a much needed bath.

Edit: One more because I like the background at my apt better

Also rotated my tires finally, they are louder now? Like twice as loud louder! Not really an issue, but not something I expected. Anyone experience that before?
 
I had it made from a guy in the San diego ca area...Let me find his info for you I need to get ahold of him anyways cause he made a spare tire mount for me as well for the rack.
And honestly i only paid like 260 for it and he drove out of his way and dropped it off around 8pm at my house when he finished it and stayed to put it up on the truck to make sure everything was to spec and liking..cool dude.

I did recently, happened immediately after rotating my tires. Turned out to be a Rear wheel bearing. For some reasons it just started a growl/howl that got louder over a few weeks time. Really weird.
 
Body shop and insurance are still fighting over $100 difference in the estimate, and my truck has remained untouched. I am about to lose my mind :mad2:
 
Swapped the stock SR5 rotors and calipers for new Centric Premium 338mm rotors and 5th-Gen calipers with Centric pads. New Premium rear rotors and pads, too. Flush and bleed.

Looking to do the same thing very soon. Have you noticed any improvements/differences right away?
 
Well, it was a week ago today. I have been trying to get some better pics of the finished product but just haven't had any free time to do so.

Last Tuesday got this little package delivered. (yes, i know some people voted against the triple hoop but I really liked it)





I took it home and started sanding and prepping it for paint.





Had to add another hole to mount the PIAA 5370 Black LED Fog Lamp Kit.


Perfect fit


Took the night off to start celebrating my Birthday early.


Wednesday I started early wiping it all down and painting it with VHT Epoxy paint. I had heard some great reviews from some other guys so i figured i would give it a shot.


My neighbors didn't know what the hell was going on in my garage with all the plastic hanging in there.


Let it cure for about a day and a half. Turned out really good


Ready to mount. Took 4x longer to remove the old bumper, clips and knock out the old studs than to install the DO.




All done.




I got the fender liners trimmed out and the washer fluid bottle trimmed/plasti dipped. All the wiring has been done. I just need to decide on which winch i am going with and if i am going to put a light bar or dual round lights on top.

I am really pleased with the look. It is amazing how that one addition completely changed the look of the truck.
 
^^It's about time you added some weight to the front! Looks VERY sharp and certainly makes your 4runner hold that aggressive stance!
