What did you do with your 4runner today?

Never got around to posting but last weekend I put in 5100s all around front raised set on 2.5". Threw in some Moog FJ coils, brand new no miles. And the rear 1.5" daystar spacers. Also put on some new raybestos rear rotors and pads did the custom rear sway bars everyone seems to love, and changed the oil and discovered I have a leaking CV boot. I'm so sick of mechanical work after this past weekend I'm trying to just not even think about changing them.
Surely it wouldn't be a big deal to wait until next month or so fix that stuff, correct?
Oh, in case anyone was curious. 200 miles later I gained lift of 3" front and 3.5" rear.
My tires look really small now too (265/70/17). Maybe spidertraxx will make them look a little better

Swapped my 1/4" spacer for a 1/2" one up front. Leveled it out quite a bit. With the no compression method I can now get strut assemblies out and back in in about 35 minutes a side. Tried stacking them at first but it was a little much - I could hear it maxing out my UCA's over bumps.

Found a big leak in the radiator. Replaced radiator and hoses. 1.5 hours.

Over the last couple days:
Icon Stage 2 (Tubular UCA's, coilovers w/ 700# springs, rear 2" shocks, rear coils)
ARB Bumper
Yakima Load warrior basket w/ extension
From top down:
Stock
After lift (no adjustment or alignment)
After bumper (still no adjustment or alignment)
I wanted to do this with wheels/tires, lighting, and winch, all at once. But due to pricing circumstances (read: fantastic deals on parts acquired that came across) I had to pull the trigger early on the lift and bumper.
More pics, details, and storyline in build thread in signature.

Took it up to Windrock for a little while this morning to try out the new suspension. Definitely feels much better. I obviously have to stick to the gravel roads and easier trails, but it's still a good time.

I went to the dealer today to pick up a few parts, Don't worry it was just drain plug gaskets for my differentials. I happened to see a 4th gen in their used car lot so out of curiosity I decided to check it out and was shocked to see the price. It was a 2008 2wd sport edition with 94k miles and they were asking $18,998. This is in California but damn! That's a huge mark up.
I bought my 2006 4Runner sport 4wd with 100k on it 4 months ago for $14.5k. It took a few hours of negotiating to get them down that low but they finally came down.

How do you like those Maxtrac Spindles? Do you get a better ride with them?
