Traded in my 4Runner for a 2500HD on Friday. I'll miss the runner but the new truck is super nice.
 
New tires

Ordered a set of BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO's to replace my Kenda Klever M/T tires (would never reccomend these tires, unless dedicated trail toy). Ill be happy when I dont have to lower my stereo volume at every light and get rid of the low speed vibration. The Kendas took 13 oz each to balance
 
Installed AOR Plate bumper on my brothers rig.

Towed my Subaru from Cincinnati to Indianapolis for a track day at Putnam Park.

Had a torrential downpour in the middle of the event which turned the track into a skating rink. Laps were slow but very exciting without traction!

Watch in HD!

Oil change (don't think I need ramps anymore for this lol) maintenance reminder reset, drilled out and retapped a skid plate bolt, and zero point calibration.

My buddies talked me into getting a mountain bike so now to figure out mounting solution for that or hitch rack. We looked a little silly hauling them in on a dirtbike trailer.

need some rear air bags on the truck, its worth the 100 your going to spend to help that sag.
After flipping my 2" drop hitch upside down, everything sat nice and level. A Toytech Boss lift is in the near future since the truck will be doing double duty tow/trail.
 
Rear Suspension

today I spent an embarrassing 6 hours replacing my rear shocks and trying to replace my end link bushings.
I immediately stripped the hex part at the top of the shocks to keep everything from spinning (2 days repeated soak in pb blaster). so I tried everything from trying to snap the shock to wedging the metal shaft. no go so I bought a Sawzall and finished in a reasonable time.
I also got the passenger end link bushings swapped to the energy easily but the driver side nut stripped immediately. I'm not sure how to get that off without cutting the end link so any advice?
quick pic of the completed shock and bushing.

End links are like $20, just replace it.

You could get a special wrench that can grip stripped nuts, but you don't have a lot of space there to work with.
 
I've had good luck with strong locking vise grip pliers and stripped nuts. The other option is replacing the end link.
