What did you do with your 4runner today?

Ordered new tire today, the old geolanders don't have enough meat for winter driving. Shame really because they'd be fine for spring/summer/fall.

Like the way they handle so got new ones , really quiet on the highway.
 
LOL, i gave up trying to keep the back of my Runner clean with my 5 year old and 15 month baby. It's just not possible.

PS: I tried to answer your question regarding the heated seat pinout best as I can.

Nice work!

Depends on what you give them. I have 9 year old twins that are younger than mine and it did just fine.
 
Had some Bilstein 5100's installed in the rear. Still had my OEM shocks installed at 140k. I didn't realize how bad they were. $200 (with install) well spent.
 
I still have mud on mine from like a year ago. The mud from here just doesnt come off.

$20 of quarters, muddy shoes at the car wash and still have Arizona mud on this thing. It's caked on underneath.
Buy a power washer! Best investment ever!
Oh, and if you put a Sprinkler under your truck and let it run, move around every 20 minutes it'll help a ton!

Did the ATF Exchange a la [MENTION=113703]46runner[/MENTION] : http://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/195074-atf-exchange-using-cooling-line.html

Super helpful, walked me right through it so thanks for making the write up!

I actually had 3.5 qts come out when I just pulled the drain plug for the transmission. 105K miles, still had a slight red hue though was more brown than anything. Definitely not black though and no metal so I didn't bother dropping the pan. I think I'll go to drain and fills every couple oil changes now, since the skids will be off then anyway.

Will report back on how the driving/shifting goes tomorrow.

One of my PIAA night tech low beams burnt out last nite after being on the truck for about 2 1/2 years. We have an account w/ NAPA so I decided to get their version of what's supposedly equivalent to the PIAA. Kind of bummed because my high beams and fogs are also PIAA night tech and I liked the fact that everything matched ( I have major OCD) But the price and warranty are better w/ NAPA so I'll give them a whirl.

Sprinkler is a good idea. Come May I lay underneath the trucks with a garden hose and flush out every little bit of winter accumulation.
 
Installed a new rear "grocery bag hook" where I broke one, new rubber roof rail filler piece, new rear window lower moulding where mine was cracking and letting water into my tailgate, and finished the night off with a [MENTION=8828]slyfox75[/MENTION] AIP bypass kit install. I didn't have any issues with my AIP causing me to do this but now I for sure won't!

And then found a fog light bulb out this morning. Always something...
 
( this is my first post ) I plastidipped all the emblems. No more chrome! Getting new wheels next week.

I beat the piss out of my pinch weld. Cutting wheel comes next. Pay no attention to the ugly cut plastic. I'll get the that sorted out with a dremel.

Edit: sorry about the size and orientation of the photo. Learning a new phone.

- Yes it will be painted.
- Yes the body mount chop will be under way.
- I'm not sure what tires. I'm going to see what it takes to put 315s under it.

I filled her up with gas, cleaned the glass and headlights, loaded my wife's snowboard and father in laws skis on MY 4Runner so they could go skiing while I WORK!!!! WTF???:frusty::frusty::frusty:
 
Woo Hoo! After four days of switching into 4H and 4Lo, driving for a day in 4H and flicking the 4Lo switch about a hundred times at traffic lights, my 4Lo started working last night!

Works every time now!:trophy:
