What did you do with your 4runner today?

Kept it simple... did the fog light mod...

not today, but saturday finally tracked down my exhaust leak. feared it was the dreaded manifold but was happy to learn it was the gasket before the muffler. only took 6 shops to track one down. i can confirm that the v8 with a missing exhaust gasket sounds like dog poop, imo. should now be good for another 180k miles

also sea foamed it and went on zika patrol. neighborhood should be good now. don't know how the fire department didn't show up at my house....i think the last treatment was 90k ago
 
So after my awning support broke I emailed ARB. Duffy helped a few months ago when everyone was saying the tent room wasn't available until mid summer and he helped me get one in 3 days.
Today he set me up with Mitch and they're sending me a new support free.
Their customer service has been amazing.

Hope it's "mid summer" I just placed an order for a room.....
 
Many dealers do not buy direct. Several told me they weren't available. Duffy put me in touch with a dealer that had it to me in a few days. This was in May.

Broke another bilstein over the weekend. Then the damn thing broke trying to get it off! Shaft is bent a little, pushed down on it and it jammed up inside...

Got an big upgrade for my 05 sport.

Looking forward to keep the LC as long as I can. I wonder if my 4 gen can keep up with her.

MOTHER OF PEARL!! If I could get one of those in a few years I totally would. Congrats on the purchase those things are amazing inside and out, not to mention if you wanted can take a pretty technical trail you could head on without any problems(except for maybe width)!
 
Greased my drive shafts. Although I could only find 5 zerks and I've read that there are 6.

I've also discovered that I get nauseated working under my truck. I don't know what that's about. Happened twice now.

After explaining the difference in a want and a need to the new service guy I explained I didn't care what the service tech wants to do this is what he is going to do.

Replaced fluids in the front and rear diffs. Tore the rear end apart (95 4x4 3.0) so I could replace the shocks and coils. Bilstein 5100's and Moog HD Coils going on. Man, those top nuts on the rear shocks sure are a PitA. Anyway, got everything off, new coils on, go to put the new shocks on, then realize they sent me the wrong shocks. Gotta wait two days to finish now. :(

As soon as this is done, all I need to do is a brake job then I think she'll be ready to tow with! Too bad summer's pretty much over.
