What did you do with your 4runner today?

Hmm, do you agree with the other response that it's nothing to worry about or should I call and question them on it?

Difficult for me to say, I'd pull each fill plug myself and check the level. Maybe take it back and ask to look while they pull each fill plug to check the level.
 
Changed sparkplugs on the '07 (112k miles), all in good shape, tan to light brown, electrodes not deteriorated. Replaced with NGK IX Iridium, kit 3764/BKR6EIX-11.

Came out easy, had to use a 4" extension for the driverside rear two, had to remove a cable bracket to get the driverside rear out. Ended up using a 10", 6" and 4" extensions. Installed with antiseize and dielectric.

Re-installed the overhead cargo net on the '07. Just an OEM spider net meant for the floor area moved to the roof, PT347-89030. Weave bungees through the mesh, anchor one end of the bungees on the passenger grab handles. Anchor the other end of the bungees by removing the rear grocery hooks, reuse the bolts with a large washer. I used six bungees, two front to back, two side to side, and two crisscross. Holds a lot of gear.

Finally a clean frame

I love having a clean frame! Got from Arizona and have had only one winter in minnesota. After getting rid of my last 4runner because the frame rotted, its great having one thats clean. Spent the weekend coating with eastwood, hopefully it holds up well this next year. FYI BUY VEHICLES SOUTH

I put a limited grill on my sport edition and replaced the faded hood scoop with a new one.

Can't lie- I really wish mine looked like that.

Sent from The Far Side
 
Checked my mail. Found this syn winch for less than MSRP on their steel one



Tossing this on on Saturday and swapping to 886 springs
 
I ordered a new radiator (Denso), cap and upper & lower hoses (OEM). If it all arrives before the weekend - I'll do it this weekend.

There's a small puddle of pink liquid on the driver's side near the front, and I haven't driven it in 2 weeks or so. I guess it's time.
 
Got a quick 15 miles in with the little woman!

Beautiful here. 78 degrees at 5 pm.

Good advice.

Cheapest place for used cars used to be the Mississippi Delta. Wonder if that still holds up.

That baby is clean!!

I got his one from Arizona. Around the phoenix area there are quite a few. Theres not a lot of 4x4 though. Now I just have to fix my head gasket...
 
Picked up some black spray paint for my gnarly rusted gas tank skid. It's SO visible now that I have the side steps off. Going to Fluid Film everything else under there while I'm at it.

Put my build plans on hold because I bought a cheap Miata to play with this summer, lets hope we get a lot of sun! :)
 
Removed some painted on pinstripes the previous owner applied as well as some beat up door ding guards that at one point appear to have been paint matched.

Also installed the smokers kit for the extra outlet. Question to anyone that has installed this: when the headlights are on the ring around the cigarette lighter doesn't fully illuminate. Seems like only half of it does. Is this normal or is my unit defective?
