What did you do with your 4runner today?

Washed it and took off the running boards

Got my replacement wheel bearing in today but apon opening the package, there is a metal ring that is damaged. I'm wondering, is this the knuckle seal or a different seal?

Used some windex on the black parts around the windows, roof rack and mirrors. I think I took off 12 years of armor all. They looked all bluey and oily but dull at the same time. A thin coat of cleaner/wax shined them right up.
Pic just after a few wipes with windex. Towels kept turning black right away.

Upgraded my steering wheel, hard wired a Qvia R975 dual dash cam, and installed an aFe Pro DRY S air filter.

MIT Toyota 4RUNNER 2003-2009 BLACK wood genuine leather steering wheel-SPORTS

So I got the black wood version... didn't realize until afterwards that it wasn't the piano black version which I wanted. However the color/design has grown on me as it sort of matches the door accents and the center dash colors of black/grey. I was able to get one at $190 using the make an offer button. Love the thickness and design... I feel more in control and it has a very sporty feeling.

Qvia R975 (Premium brand from Lukas) dual dash cam with parking mode. Did A LOT of research before getting two of these (one for my other car). Had all the features I was looking for - dual SD card slots, parking mode, wifi, hard wire kit, GPS, 4" 800x400 screen, PIP. Nothing else I found compares to this model and its features.

Tires!!!

Installed the set of 315 Duratracs that I picked up off craigslist. Had them installed on factory rims for now. they are load range D and i will be chalking them to find the optimum pressure for them. Cant wait to test them out on our tree run in the snow in a couple weeks!
Sorry for the night photos... I will get some this afternoon.

I should probably do something like this. The dealer I bought mine from used so much armor all it was pooled in the cupholders. The outside got a similar treatment. And any time I touch one of the black rubber seals on the roof I come away with lovely black smears. That was fun the first time I waxxed it...
 
Put my RTT on this week. Super pumped I recently installed some led lights on the inside as well.

Thanks. A good friend has an upholstery business. I do part time sales and design for him. This project didn't cost me anything because I sold him my previous rig under market value in exchange he did all the seats in my 4Runner.

ok, wish i had a buddy like that.
though it was a seat cover,
this looks as nice as katzskins..if not better, bet it would be >$700
 
Another step on my slow path to rear bearing replacement. Now accumulating courage to actually press the rebuilt axle and new bearing together.

Not too glamorous but did a coolant drain and fill. Old stuff was still pink, no gunk/debris floating in it, so I probably could have gone a while longer... but manual says 50k after the first hundo... so thats what I did. Here's to hoping it helps prevent needing radiator #3 anytime soon.
