What did you do with your 4runner today?

Holy rusted metal batman. I tapped the clips with a wrench also to get them to seat.

Looks fine, wonder if the rusted brackets helped hold yours? Looks like they held up fine.
I haven't actually driven with them yet. Still have lots to do on my rig before its back on the road. And yeah, rust is part of my life unfortunately. I had to soak and heat those flare nuts to get them off.

Thanks for pointing this out though, I'll be keeping an eye on them for any movement.
 
New Tacoma TRD coils and superbumps went in today! Full pics in my build thread.

Come on, how do they compare, feel etc? Don't leave us hangin...
Hehe, if you went to my build thread....
I only took it for a quick ride last night but it is much more responsive, doesn't bounce around anymore, and doesn't lean in the corners so much either. I have to do some testing and flexing today.
 
Wow, I FINALLY installed/did the VSC OFF upgrade! I've been reading and reading and reading so much on the mod for a few years I realized after LTDSC did his and fancied us with another write-up just how easy it was to do. Thank you Sam for the suggestion on making sure the tap was actually tapped...it works and I have a fun button to use more often now!

Does your whole dash light up after doing the mod, or just the VSC off?

Only Locked Center Diff and VSC OFF...the rest stays hibernating...The best part is it works pretty freaking well...I feel sorry for my lawn/fields...the ground is a little soft :P
 
Really like the end result...On to the Rear. Looking for a Black Sport Roof Rack and getting rid of this one .:artist:

Replaced the front differential needle bearing with the ECGS bushing a couple days ago.

Many thanks to [MENTION=118509]fdbyrne[/MENTION] for the bearing extractor!

So I didn't do it yet, but, I'm collecting the following parts I've ordered over the last two weeks for install:

- new kyb top hats
- bilstein 5100s to replace xreas
- ome 885s for the front w/ drivers side fitment kit
- front/rear sway bar bushings
- spidertrax 1.25" spacers
- upper/lower control arm bushings
- new greasable cam bolts

I'm pretty excited. I'll post some before after pics once complete.

My bad, I forgot the RB body lift (1.25")

My mother in law will never be able to get into my truck again ;)

Decided I needed some inspiration, so I brought my rubber home from work and set them up on the studs just to see what it would look like. She's still up on stands, but will be rolling by next weekend!
