What did you do with your 4runner today?

Amazon LED bar

Wired up my Amazon LED bar. Seems like a solid bar and it only cost $60. Can't wait to see what is looks like tonight. For anyone who is interested, here is the link to the bar.

Centric 5th gen rotors, calipers, and OEM pads showed up. Additionally DOT 4 castrol brake fluid and caliper paint for this weekend.
 
The stash ain't the problem. The problem is what you buy with it. "Uh, what is this? When did you get it? How much did it cost?" I've had that for awhile! I swear!! That's a normal maintenance item! The truck needed it!

yep....when I installed my shocks and springs my wife said "it seems really high". I just said "they are just new springs, they will settle"....lol!
 
Well it wasn't today, but me, my wife, my son, and my wife's step sister went to our camp house on the tombigbee river over the weekend. The water was really really high, so we were not able to stay unfortunately. We called it a loss this time, but intend to go up again in a few weeks. The bass won't know what hit them :fish2:

And yea, the truck was loaded down pretty heavily in the back. So was the boat.

Congrats!! Hitched my first and last one, two Octobers ago.


Hope you have a secret stash. If you don't, get one.
Still trying to come up with something for my ome and icon springs that are in the mail lol. Atleast she was on board with the RTT they are shipping with.. I was thinking "they gave me extra in store credit for how much we spent on the tent!" lol

Scored a GPS for a good deal. Wired it in to my second set of cig lighter plugs. Very happy with it!

Had a new radiator put in a few days back to replace the leaky one...

Yesterday, changed the engine oil added a new air filter

Changed oil in front & rear differentials and T Case. Mmm... Love that smell!

Greased the shaft (Giggetty)

Mobil 1 all around! Cost a pretty penny but I believe it is worth it.

Rotating the tires today after work...

Should be all good for a while hopefully!
 
Not all today but recent changes.

Added a purple K fire extinguisher. Removed the clothes hanger and bolted the fire extinguisher bracket to the two bolts for that. Doesn't seem to move around while driving and no vibrations or rattles.

Dashcam hidden up under the rearview mirror, hardwired into the map light power. Comes on and starts recording when the truck is unlocked and shuts off 30 seconds or so after the truck is locked.

Hey man, how did you bolt the fire extinguisher to the clothes hanger clip? I have a smaller fire extinguisher that I would love to put up there full time. Are there any special brackets you bought or anything?
 
Everyone should have a dash cam. I got into a car wreck last year where the guy lied and said he had a green arrow and I ran a red. I had a green and he failed to yield and turned in front of me. If it hadn't been for the independent witness behind me that stopped it would have been my word against his.

I don't know about the fire extinguisher mounted like that, though. I'd be afraid in a hard enough impact that it would become a projectile aimed at my head.....

I used one of the stock holes on the bracket, then I drilled a second hole to get the right spacing for the holes on the truck. I just used to the clothes hanger to mark the bracket at the right spacing.

Yeah I got it after I witnessed a hit and run a couple cars ahead of me and realized I wouldn't want to try and remember all the details if someone hit me.

I thought about that, its a pretty solid metal bracket and I positioned it that any force propelling it forward pushes it into the top part of the mount. I'd be more worried about the random stuff I put in the backseat or the cargo compartment that isn't strapped down
 
Well not in my 4 runner thank god but my wife had my second son this morning at 301 am.

How awesome would that be, to be able to say that you were born in the 4Runner? Congratulations on #2!
Thanks, he was born in a big pool in my kitchen. My wife didn't get to have our first son at home like she wanted, she still had him naturally(i delivered him) at the hospital.
First son was 6 lbs 10 ounces at 36 weeks, this one 37 weeks 8lbs 1 ounce

Congrats Calvin! Better start saving up for that 2032 4Runner when he gets to driving age! Anywhoo. Got my Bilsteins on. The Yank' looks much better leveled out. Also rides a hell of a lot better. Need an alignment though.
