What did you do with your 4runner today?

Parked in an open spot so tonight's rain might wash it.

I finished the shelf I made by carpeting it. It's bolted down inside the storage compartments so no holes are visible and it won't bounce around.

Installed Daystar 3/2 lift-leveling kit. Halfway through I was reconsidering my ability to do it solo in the driveway, but 2.5 hours later and it all worked out.

Next up plastidip the wheels and start shopping for tires.
 
Added 5th gen wheels and Nitto TerraGrapplers. Now I've got a good rub to deal with tomorrow... A good problem.

Thanks! I made this for under $20 but if I decide I don't like it and want to get the OEM one I'll hit you up.

Problem with mine is that I'm using a net to hold gear up against the back seats so I can't unfold it without hitting everything in the net. That and it's utterly useless when I have all my camping gear shoved in the back.
 
Went up into the mountains for some forest service road driving with the household 4Runner club, Dad (5th gen) and brother (3rd gen).

Found a couple steep, rocky, and/or deeply rutted trails off to the side that I was able to test the new setup on. Incredibly happy with the smoothness of the Icon setup.

Which trails? Also in the Seattle area and am look'n to explore
 
Car wash and then worked on shampooing the carpet but I found out I'm barely scratching the surface without removing it from the vehicle... and if I do that I'll just put a new one in.


How do you figure? Just as far as ease of access? Or was there something really nasty that won't work itself out of the carpet? Just curious because I REALLY need to shampoo mine before I put the WeatherTechs in!!

Check out what he did

with just the spray can I have I'm supposed to wipe it with cloth after scrubbing but I did one area 2-3 times and the cloth still came out dirty so I think after shampooing you just have to wash the dirt off.
 
I did the PFRAN interior LED light swap. Map lights, center dome, rear dome, four doors, and reverse lights. Only took 15 minutes and a flathead screw driver (to pop off lenses). This is an easy inexpensive mod that you will benefit from pretty much everyday. Very bright & clean light. I am really satisfied with the results.

We headed up off of I90, took the fire training academy exit, found a turnoff of the main road there, then just followed whatever path we'd find that looked to climb higher. It tends to be difficult to accomplish with all the gates up everywhere all the time it seems like though.
 
oil change and tire rotation... 140k

also noticed the bottom support of my radiator is bowed downwards at an angle I'm pretty unhappy with. radiator replacement round two coming up
