What did you do with your 4runner today?

Yeh i figures that could make a diff. It's the coils that come w the front 6112s and then icon (non hd) 2" lift Springs.

You will get body roll but if you give it a week you will notice it only rolls like an inch and then it stops. When I first took mine off I was leary, but after a couple weeks I didn't notice. I take corners hard and everything without issue and you have way better handling shocks than me. I find the ride smoother and more controlled. And off road the difference is huge! No bar connecting the front A arms together making it so they can react completely separate of each other really helps with handling.
 
New shoes and alignment! 4r feels like a million bucks!

Was debating between a bunch of tires and sizes but went with Cooper Discoverer AT3. 275 70 17.

Finally fixed my LCA clunk. The sh!tty Moog bushings just fell out of the front locations! Replaced with OEM hardware and Mevotech Supreme complete LCAs. Much better.

I went and got a an alignment , tires balance and rotated after work today.

Also used air freshener sort of like a bug bomb (daughter vomited in the car the other day while in her car seat) hope this helps with the funk that's been going on.

I can feel your pain. I had four 275/70/18s sitting in my car for three days. That doesn't sound so bad but it's been another 3 days and the hot rubber smell still isn't out of my truck yet.
 
Getting her detailed through Detail King, this is just after they washed her. I get to see the end result of the inside and out tomorrow after noon

Took the plunge and Plasti dipped the front parts. Easy to do and turned out pretty good !

Today I fixed the heat shield above the muffler... all four nuts had broke through and it was just sitting there so I Jerry-rigged it with wire.

Started to disassemble and bleed my ICON 2.5 Extended Travel Coilovers. Got one disassembled except for internals.
The second one wasn't as easy as the first.
A couple broken tools and bent spanner wrench later and now it's soaking in penetrating oil overnight to try again in the morning.

Ordered King 14" 700 lb springs for them as well instead of reusing the ICON 650 lb springs. The blue should look sweet.

Also ordered EBC Brake Rotors and looking into either painting or buying new calipers and SS brake lines.

Nice, Mine came out good. I used the $20 duplicolor caliper paint in silver from amazon. Its self leveling and very easy to use. took about 20 min to do the caliper. The paint holds up. Ive done my last calipers, and they withstood about 2 years of constant sand, salt, road, offroad and abuse and never chipped or faded. I like the silver because it keeps them looking new and clean. just my opinion.
