What did you do with your 4runner today?

Installed my LED light bar onto my bull bar and wired up the mictuning switch/ harness. It was pretty straight forward I ran the wires through the rubber boot next to the master cylinder.

Also getting my Demello sliders/ body mount chop welded up today. Had to remove the stock side steps and all the XREAS lines, I will post more pics after they're all welded up.

 
I moved two switches.

New to me Runner

Just started working on my 4Runner. Lubed up the driveshaft and did the temp fix on the t case till I get more funds. Still trying to track down that damn vibration coming from the rear though.
 
Started disassembly for the new shocks/UCAs tomorrow

Updates!!!!!!!!!!!!! :whoo:

Before sliders went on, ohhhh so clean without any sides.


Making sure they're level before tacking them in place.



Final welding


Lift test from sliders, Mmmmm flexy!


Shout out to @b1_jo if anyone needs a full length room rack or some welding services hit this guy up, super professional! :cheers:
 
Took it to get the rear brake & rotors replaced and now have a nice squeaking going on. The mechanic said the pin & spring for the e brake were just laying there, he showed me the pic was too long and the washer would rub against the rotor. He said he shortened the pin but the sound is still there. Now he says I have to get the e brake fixed. I thought I had found a great mechanic but I might have been wrong.

Question.....is it okay to drive?
 
Replaced driver side front diff needle bearing with the ECGS bushing. Then while I was in there I took apart my UCA and greased the poly bushings.
Took 3.5 hrs...I'm spent :ranger:
 
Installed my icon upper control arms... Now turning is a pain... If I turn the wheel either direction it doesn't re center itself while driving.. Anyone have any ideas?

Ok, settled on some rear shocks. Did a ton of researching, still can't afford Fox or Kings, so I'm going with these. http://www.lowrangeoffroad.com/doetsch-tech-shocks-8000.html they are 24.5" extended and 14.5" compressed, have a built in bumpstop, and are firm to control hard bumps and such, which is a leading cause of my Bilsteins failing and inability to keep up. I plan on adding superbumps after I get these installed and adding a spacer as needed to make sure the bumps stop at the stopping point of the shocks, or just before.
I wanted to get longer shocks, but can't until I can afford metal tech long travel coils. The 10" of travel on the ones I ordered should be more than sufficient for now.

Busy day for the runner. Short Story: bought the runner 6 years ago, 3 years ago got married and wife started driving it (had to remove some mods). Now the 4runner is officially mine again. So begin the mod process AGAIN. lol

1) Replaced the leaking Blisteins in the rear.

2) Got rid of the frakenstein exhaust i had from modding and then removing mods. Put a new oem exhaust back on.

3) Replaced the propeller shaft with the Lexus one. No more THUD noise.

4) Put on some sticker - this was my favorite upgrade today. lol

Got bored today so I took some VHT satin black engine enamel and touched up my visible mud stained exhaust and muffler. Experimented with it and now it looks like a brand new exhaust. This will keep me sane until I am ready to upgrade
