Tons of work! Head on over to my build thread for more pics.

he is running 275 70 18 ko2 tires with a toytec lift

the 18's do look great. wish there were more options

Ah...I was reading this on Tapatalk. I wish you could see the same member info on there. I see the link to the garage now. :P

I'm looking at an Urban Runner right now, haven't seen too many people keep the 18"s. Looks great!
 
I don't know how it's possible, but I got 1" of additional lift by replacing everything. Only thing I can think is that the old bushings were so bound up they wouldn't let everything move. Any thoughts??

Might be that since you had everything apart to replace the control arms that gave the springs a chance to "stretch their legs" so to speak. Give it a week and I bet it settles back down.
 
I put in new front brake pads. It was really easy, and nothing was excessively rusty. Now I need to bleed the right front brake (never got around to that one earlier this year) and do the rear pads.
 
Drove to work in the pouring rain. Since it's our first real rain and the roads are slippery I cruised to work in 4HI. 4HI + Duratracs = Beastmode. It was like the road wasn't even wet. Great traction, but you can tell that 4.0 needs to work a little harder to go 70mph. Going to cruise home in 2wd and see how the tires feel without help from the front in the rain.
 
Just picked up a new (to me) 2005 Limited 4WD V8. It's getting detailed at the moment to get rid of 10 years of previous ownership. I'll post some before/after photos this evening when I get it back. :)
 
So sick of this stupid body shop...

So my auto up/down and remote down functions on the rear hatch window hasn't worked since they took my rear hatch apart to paint it. When they gave me back my keys, they menioned that it was "missing an actuator" which I found puzzling, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt that maybe the rear window just needed reprogrammed (which I've dealt with 1000 times). I tried reprogramming, and nothing, I unplugged the blue ECU in the hatch to reset everything, still nothing. I even checked all the connections on the rear window motor and couldn't see anything out of place or not connected. So I got the insurance involved, took the truck back to them, and they replaced the whole rear hatch window motor, and apparently the auto-up/down functions and the remote button still are not working. Since they are stumped, they're now trying to blame my aftermarket radio and amp, and saying that clearly those shorted something out since they can't figure out what they broke. I'm getting really frustrated now. Anyone run into this issue before? I told the girl that my amp wire has been present for 3 years, and the window only stopped working after they took the motor apart. Now it feels like they're just looking for a cop-out and are trying to blame anything other than themselves. Has anyone seen anything like this? The switch in the truck works fine, but the key and the remote do not work. Could it be a relay or something else?

They also tried blaming my key, and my remote battery, but I have tested with both remotes...
 
Drove to Rohrich toyota in picksburg n'at after work to discuss 2016 Land Cruiser pricing (good conversation and very information I might ad) and while there, spotted a 2016 4Runner TRDP in quicksand in the back of their lot, contemplated it, naaaah.

It's a different color on a unique model that will definitely be sought after later in life of the 4Runner's heritage in about 10-15 years, but it's just not me.

After standing there for 5 minutes though I was convinced it would likely never require cleaning because it's the perfect color to look clean, dirt.
If I was in the market for a 4Runner, I'd buy it if for no other reason than I'd never have to wash it. (wife requires a clean vehicle)

see pics i posted in trdpro thread in 5th gen section if interested.
