What did you do with your 4runner today?

Washed it, added a 10hp TRD badge, painted and reinstalled my stock skid plates.


Bad pic I know.


BUT does anyone know where I can get one of those plastic pieces that go between the bumper and the skid plate cheap?

the filler piece? It's not plastic, it's metal.
 
My passenger side is rubbing as well. How many carriage bolts did you get in on the driver side? I was only able to line up the holes for 1, but I think the cross member for their transfer case skid is blocking 1 or 2 more.

I got 3 of the long bolts through the frame and 6 of the bolts into the already threaded locations. Which happened to be exactly what my directions said.

Passenger side found only 5 prethreaded holes, and couldn't find a place for the last long through bolt so I have basically one of everything as a spare. Thought that was pretty convenient. :dancing:

After some trail action today my rubbing is a bit rough on both sides. Decided I finally have a good excuse to go 1" body lift (don't necessarily need it, but I've been considering one for a while and helps make up my mind).

On that note, what I did with my 4th gen today:

This spot made me chuckle. "BUMP"....hmmmm, ya think? Nice little washout on a forest service road.

Got a bunch of things done today: Changed the oil, changed the diff and transfer case fluids, polished up my headlights and debadged the sides and tailgate.
 
I got it mostly buttoned up after getting the lift on. Just have to put the skids back on but I'm not going to do that until I change the oil in a day or two. I drove it around the block twice and all seems good. An alignment is drastically needed though. The tires almost look like the old ford ttb front ends at full turn.

 
Playin with some Dip

Just seeing how this stuff does its thing...have a Spare V8 and Toyota front emblem

Replaced the rear sway bar bushings. Three of four bolts broke. Spent some time trying to drill, but had much better luck punching them out. Upgraded hardware to a slightly thicker bolt and lock nut.

Also ordered 5100s for all four corners to replace the nearly rotted out xreas. I have spent at least 5 hours trying to figure out whether or not I should swap out coils too. My god it is a rabbit hole. A little frustrating since the 4 5100s are like $650 CDN. Decided to get a 1" spacer and will likely set the fronts to .85 with stock shocks. Should get a bit of lift hat way. Have RAS so will need to trick the air bags or see how it looks leveled.
