What did you do with your 4runner today?

Well, I picked my kid up at school this afternoon, and I took a gratuitous 4R photo next to a black 4th gen.

Replaced driver side o2 sensor. Took 10 minutes. Then went to do passanger side.... got it about 1/4 turn out and it stopped. Threads are galled up:-( prob have to remove the header to get it out. Ill just leave it for now. No CEL anyway, was just doing it as preventive.
 
Not 4runner related but it is Toyota so going to share anyways:

Took the road trip wagon / sienna / man van / swaggin wagon on yet another road trip, this time to Ohio from NC for the Arnold Classic. 251,000 on the odometer.

Car was loaded down with 5 250lb powerlifters and I guess I had my tires under-inflated for that load, so we got a flat tire on the way back last night right after we left. Since no tire shops were open then in the middle of nowhere, we made the entire trip back from Ohio, 400+ miles, on the toy spare. This is the second time I have done this, last time was ~200 miles from the mountains with my YZ250 hanging on the trailer hitch. I realize it's not recommended but there weren't exactly any other options considering the timing and location. Makes me really appreciate my full sized spare on my 4runner!

Now it's time to drive to Florida!
Thanks for the reminder. Currently running with no spare
 
Out exploring Washington state this week. On the Olympic Peninsula at the moment (Port Angeles) and will be visiting La Push and Kalaloch later this week. Seeing tons of modified 4th gens and wishing I had mine instead of this stupid rental Sentra so that I could actually go up in the mountains.... :'(

I ended up replacing the Philips LEDs with Yorkim LEDs (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H1QEY66/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1).

The Yorkim's are rated at 6500K and Philips at 6000K, but a side by side comparison showed the Yorkim's were actually warmer (less blue), which was what I wanted.

All switched over. Yorkim's were cheaper so I bought a 2nd set and did the door courtesy lights too.

Finally got her back

After the hood latch fiasco, I've finally got her back. Took off the running boards today and gave her a nice little bath. I'm thinking about Plasti-dippin the silver parts underneath the grill and on the rear middle. Thoughts?

Went to get in it this morning to head to work when I noticed a damp spot under the front end. After further analysis it looks like my radiator is leaking.
 
picked up some grommets for my air pump today and got some metal for my mounting plate. cant wait to get this done

Exactly. I suppose I should've clarified that. :'( I did think about my 4 Runner today.

I'll make it up to it on Sunday and will go 4 wheeling in the mountains at home...
 
Got out and enjoyed the weekend, then gave them both a bath today.

Hey Blackoutt, I have a similar hitch carrier I use to haul around my Beta 390. I love how easy it is to load and unload the bike.

Are the red lights on your carrier reflectors or functioning turn signals? I want to add turn signals to my carrier but haven't the slightest clue what kind of wiring I would need to do so. I have an '06 SR5 4Runner with the towing package, so I do have an outlet to the left side of the hitch underneath. I think it's a 6 or 7 pin connector. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Y my dome light started to flicker and the cargo one burn out. Only had it for two months

I have an all silver 05 Sport with no contrasting middle bumper part. On my list is to paint or plastidip it black. I like the contrast.
