What did you do with your 4runner today?

[kevinpt]

Got $2 tint roll from China to see if I'd like yellow fogs. I'll peel this off and spray with metalcast if I do. Tinting sucks!

i used the yellow on my hella 500 covers

Added an (admittedly oversized) superwinch I got off of TAP's Black Friday Sale. Winch install is done, and tested electrically. Just have to permanently run wires, add disconnect, etc. Thanks [MENTION=120150]TotalAutomotiveLV[/MENTION], once again some of the best customer service I've had!

Drove through a blizzard! Tim me 2.5 hours instead of the normal 1 hour drive. 15-20 mph, white out condition, 6+ inches of snow on the road. Truck did great though! You have to make it slide if you want some excitement. Lol

Replaced the small clamp on one of the inner CV boots, which has been leaking for a while. Didn't get any water or other spillage from the boot, and am not hearing any strange noises from the CV joint, so decided to just replace the leaking clamp rather than take the whole thing apart and re-grease.

What a ***** getting the wheel off though - I had to use the long handle from my floor jack as a breaker bar on the lugs, and then it took several whacks with a mallet to free the wheel from the hub. If I ever had to change a tire on the side of the road, I'd be screwed!

Changed my oil...also noticed my cv boots are looking real bad. They've been torn for about 20k but it doesn't drive any different or make any weird noises so I haven't done anything about them yet.

^ you're kidding right?!! Have you had it in 4wd at all in those 20k miles?

That's freeking nuts, how did it not blow up?

My former JGC's boot would be ripped for about 1k miles and it would click like crazy.

Haha yeah several times actually. One of the times was for a week when we had an ice storm. I've tried to be careful to not take it through mud pits or anything though that could get up the axle. But I've been on trails several times.

Haha I have no idea. If you didn't look up under the vehicle you would have no idea anything was wrong with them.

The OEM CV's are awesome for sure! My driver's outside boot was MIA and no noise, or clicking. I did have a slight vibration around 48mph, but that was the only sign. It had to have been like that for a good bit before I replaced it.

re-torqued my gibson exhaust clamps. Stupid thing was banging on the cross-member. If i have to do it again ill have it welded, these clamps arent the best.

Used Wipe New on the running boards and mud flaps. This is the first time I used the stuff, so lets see how well it works.

(before & after photos)

I tried Wipe New on my wife 1st gen Tacoma black over fenders. After 3 months, looks OK. Also on wipers, rear black bumper, black mirrors, better than anything else so far.

Oil change, trans fluid exchange (had 12 qts and it needed 13, go figure), and rotated tires. All set to roll over 100k any day now!

Paid my registration. You're welcome CA

New water pump today. Old one was weeping, so better now than when it fails.
