What did you do with your 4runner today?

Installed the rear ome set up, waiting on some components for the front.

Been working on some of the lighting recently, nearly there (for the near future at least. once the bug bites, you know how it goes).

Teaser:


Picked up a few other things, some made of rubber, others of aluminium. Unfortunately they must wait though as there isn't any time for me to take care of much else for a week or so.

What is the issue? Reoccurring or new issues arise?

The rear passenger door lock actuator failed after impact, I asked them to fix it and they did not the first go round, and when they took my rear hatch window apart for paint, and put it back together, they lost some actuator that enables the auto down feature, as well as the auto up/down from the button and key hole. I tried reprogramming and resetting the ECU back there and nothing. They mentioned it when they gave me my car back, and I was like, well it worked from the factory so... They're taking everything apart now
 
I only ask because there was a 5th gen thread that blew up over wipers, but what did you end up going with? OEM, Bosch, rain-x. . .etc?

I just went with the Rain‑X Latitude blades again. I had installed a set probably 6 or 7 years ago and they have been great. They weren't even that bad right now but i was in Advance Auto and was bored....lol
 
thats how my rears looked, now they squeal like a pig. Time to change them again because i cant handle this.

Oh the squeal was unbearable finally. I finally just pulled off the road to the nearest Napa, asked them to give me their best brake and headed home to install them. Had no plans to do this but just couldn't take the squeak any longer.

its so bad, every little bit of pressure. No matter if hot/cold. Im changing them this weekend because i cant take it anymore.
 
Adjusted the parking brake. Now it actually does something again!


Bad news is that I broke a stud on the driver's side rear. Where can I take it to get fixed?

Take wheel off, use a hammer and punch if needed, hammer it out, buy new one from parts store, hammer it in. Put wheels back on.
Anti seize and a torque wrench are highly overlooked items when doing tires for some reason.

Anti seize may cause you to over torque you nuts, just my opinion.
 
Started painting uca's and lca's, putting them in this weekend.

Anyone ever haul one of these in their T4R? Not mine, but I get to keep it for a few days!
