What did you do with your 4runner today?

VSC Disconnect switch

I successfully installed a disconnect switch for VSC, it was surprisingly really easy and took about 20 mins. I was able to try it out in some snow filled parking lot by my house, it worked just as advertised !! :party:

Wish I only had 100k!

It's my wife's vehicle, so it doesn't get used much.

Since we purchased it used in 2012, we purposely have been trying to keep the miles down on it by driving our 2005 Corolla as much as possible since it is next in the rotation for replacement. That vehicle is pushing 180K and still going strong though so not sure when we'll replace it. Problem with Toyotas, they last forever... rarely do you have to buy a new one out of need or necessity, moreso a want.

Either way, not too shabby for a 2007.
 
It was a write up by Morphious, it basically said take the plug under the master cylinder with the 3 wires coming out of it and splice a switch into the red wire. I have pics I'll post them today.

Here are the pics, I haven't figured out how to put captions on each pic.....

VSC Disconnect pics continued.... The end product isn't as pretty as I'd like it to be but for my first successful mod im not complaining :bravo: Ill trade out the switch with a more stock looking one later :reddance:

Much Easier !

I don't know how I missed this post when I was researching yesterday..... This way saves you time fishing the wires through the firewall and keeps the engine bay stock, with all the wires out of sight. Im deciding which switch to replace my chepo one with and then ill probably go with this method and clean up under the hood to make it look stock again. Thanks again [MENTION=93193]morphious[/MENTION] :clap2:

How did the fluid film application go?

Perfect. Used three aerosol cans. I have a fourth to do the inside of the frame rails with the adapter. I wrapped the exhaust in tin foil to prevent overspray onto it.

All the smell withered away on my 750 mile drive home after Thanksgiving.
 
Yep, took nearly 3 months to get everything right after the rear end colision, then I put the new front bumper, headlights, and led bar on the front end :ohwell:

F***, wow that sucks. Sounds as though your light bar is damaged but the truck was spared. Hope replacing it won't be a pain.
