Haha I'm happy to be the social butterfly in a group, but when a group turns to a crowd, I don't fair as well. Don't like being surrounded. Anxiety kicks in. I decided to take a nice nap instead haha
What did you do with your 4runner today?

Thanks man. I have thought about it. I have also thought about finding some salvage panels from a wrecked truck and having them painted. I am not really crazy about the painted textured cladding
I'm generally not either, however, with the front and rear bumpers.....I think it'd look awesome painted to match them.

It that wandering on the freeway. It tired my arms fighting with it. It felt like it lost its alignment. I pulled over at a gas station to wash my face and take a look underneath and everything looked fine.
Need more castor.

The guy didnt want to add more castor because of camber issue supposlly he wont achieve proper adjustment. I dont know how true that is. You guys be the judge from the picture. When i had it done. He said i needed adjustable upper control arm. Am like wtf. I asked for full castor

I don't remember your lift amounts right now, but he's full of it. You need 3-4* of caster. You may need uca's to achieve that, but it will get rid of the wandering.The guy didnt want to add more castor because of camber issue supposlly he wont achieve proper adjustment.

T-man damn tapatalker lol, he's on FJ springs 5100's at 1.75.
That's a damn good alignment for stock UCA and he most likely couldn't get any more caster in there without making camber off. So yes he could put in more caster at the expense of knocking camber off of 0. If you want more caster with that suspension setup, he's right you'll need aftermarket UCA's. Some have a couple degrees caster built in (would put you right in that 3 degree ball park as is), and others are adjustable up to +4 degrees from stock (and camber adjustment too!). Gross adjustments are made with the adjustable upper to get it into the ballpark, then the lower control arm eccentrics are still used for fine tuning of the caster/camber at the same time since those measurements are directly related.

[MENTION=121735]Civiceg94[/MENTION] what PSI are your tires at? Mine seem to wonder when in 32ish range. I usually keep mine upward of 35psi. 38/35 specifically

Broke 87K on the old gal, this means that I've put 50K miles on her since I bought her 4 years ago

I hit the jackpot. I'm on the east coast where just about everything is privately owned and posted no trespassing. I stumbled across an 800 acre fairly mountainous wooded plot that has trails all through it that aren't posted. I was there for about an hour today and just barely scratched the surface. If the adjacent plots are also unposted in looks like a pretty sizeable area of wooded and moutainous trails to explore. The pictured path was about as wide and clear as it ever got. Most paths were barely larger than four wheeler paths.

Painted my rusty rear calipers today.
Above is before.
Below is during and after.
Cleaned the heck out of them with a wire brush, and used brake cleaner to prep them.
Painted with regular old flat black grill paint. It is the same label and brand as high temp caliper paint, except costs half as much.
