What did you do with your 4runner today?

I dropped mine off at the upholstery shop to get the torn driver's seat replaced. Before and afters coming when I pick it up, can't wait!
 
Just got done mounting some 265 70/R17 Cooper ATP's. They fill out the wheel wells better and look great!

...how???

My buddy in his runner got high centered on a large flat rock with all tires off the ground. I used my tow strap to tug him off and on the 3rd tug, i spun the wheels a bit and eventually got him off the rock. I went to drive off and i heard a metal on metal CLUNK CLUNK sound every few seconds.
 
OK i will bite ....so how in the hell did you bust the teeth on your diff ring? This has my curiosity.

And as far as your otterbox being screwed onto a vent mount, well its worthless without seeing if it can hold the weight of your iPad (which I'm assuming is why its not mounted in the pic) without it tilting all the way down forward facing the floor or if it can even handle hitting dips, speed bumps without flopping all over the place since you did this for your next "overland" trip a year from now. Should give you plenty of time to work that out.

Dragging a high centered 4runner off a large flat rock. He wouldn't budge with the first two tugs, and on the third i kept my foot on the gas, and eventually dragged his heavy ass off. Unfortunately this is the result. He had all 4 tires off the ground.

As for the otter box, I had it set up the whole time we were on the trails, going over obstacles, ledges, etc and it didn't budge which surprised the hell out of me. It works perfectly!
 
Finally removed my old LED lightbar and swapped it for a newer, cleaner version. I was worried that going from straight to curved would cause mounting issues and thankfully, it didn't. The new bar is MUCH lighter in weight and much thinner and so far, it's fantastic! Brighter and with the curved format, throws light tot he side a bit more than the last for more visibility! It's an Amazon special and it's better than my last no-name non-amazon special...

 
Me and my T4R have been kinda lame the last few weeks. I've been only driving her to work and I KNOW she wants to see some trails. Here we are today during lunch break. I promised her trails this weekend. lol

Hauled the Kodiak 172E travel trailer to donate it to a dog rescue organization that does work on the Four Corners reservations doing rescues and spay/neuter clinics. It's perfect for them as it's a short, expandable lightweight trailer. Has the huge 52 gallon fresh water tank, dual LP bottles, dual batteries, giant fridge/freezer, sleeps 5 easy. The Runner did fine without a WDH, which IMO is typical for smaller tow vehicles. You have to upgrade the soft rear springs, add airbags, or both, but IMO for towing less than 4000lbs a WDH is not necessary as long as you upgrade the rear springs.

Damn..sorry to hear that brotha. Your a mighty good friend ..were you able to drive home? Cause at that point what's done is done if it was able to make it home. Or did you make his heavy ass now pull you home with your foot on the brake all the way back , too make things square..lol.

Well , I'm shocked and can't believe it. But if that the case then I need some info on what mount you are using and how you set it up cause I have tried a few with no luck and that is exactly the set up I need, brotha.

Sorry about your rear that blo's arss

I'm pretty impressed with the work. Just need to make sure he reconnected the seat heaters correctly first thing tomorrow morning.

I scratched my head for an hour wondering why my dash lights didn't work. Turn out I had a blown tail light fuse. I changed that today.

No worries, it's cool! Actually the shop called me today and told me I had a bad bearing in the diff which allowed it to bind and create more tension then normal.

As for the mount, its a PROCLIP vent mount for the 4runner. it was like 30$. PROCLIP USA makes them. I used a dremel to drill 4 small holes and used machine screws (i think thats the name) with two nuts at the back. Hope that helps!
