What did you do with your 4runner today?

Didnt happen today, but in the past few weeks I've done a bunch of stuff. I got my black headlight housings installed. I upgraded to LED High/Low Beams and LED everything but blinkers (bulbs are ready but I dont want hyperflash) Combination amber LED fogs and Laminx films mean they perfectly match the corner marker/DRL colors.

Scrubblade front wipers, and new rear wiper, I really like the scrubblades so far, they do work well, and look good too, but we'll see how they hold up over time.

Moved my old dashcam to the rear, and replaced it with a new one up front (Both Spytech/Viofo A119's, back is V1, front is V2)

Reorganized my Wardriving setup, no more gutted glock box with fans, now it's packed neatly into a case made for Stratux flight tracking.

Was given a set of Drop Stops after complaining about dropping my phone/fries between the seat and console.

Replaced the rear row floor mats with a weathertech floorliner in grey to match the fronts.

Hopefully I'll get my daystar spacers installed in the near future, so I can start seriously considering new wheels/tires, and I'll be touching up a few paint chips near the rear windows tomorrow, weather permitting.
 
Went down to Uwharrie thursday. Lots of fun riding with my buddy in his jeep

Leaky Diff

Today I found out that there is already a breather relocation hose on my rear differential. Although the dealer replaced my wheel bearings etc.. when I purchased the car, I'm guessing the breather clogged in the sub-zero temps I was driving in the past few weeks and caused the pinion and one wheel to leak.
Cleaned it all and stuck it back together, topped off lost gear oil, and will see if seals are still good.

Check your $4 breather if you haven't lately!

Got my SCS wheels mounted, finished front FJ spring lift/spacer to correct the lean. Tonight doing new Gibson SS exhaust, rear springs, an LED headlight bulbs. Alignment Monday.
 
Not the greatest pictures ever because it’s dark out but I got my 60” hi lift jack and a shovel mounted to my stock roof rack by attaching the standard size quick fist clamps to yakima 23h universal mounts
The hi lift has the base plate removed and fits perfectly or this way
All I need to do is order some specialty 10” or so long u bolts so that I can secure it a little better from the average joe who may come along and decide it’s a good looking jack and also make it a touch more stable on the top of the car
Also need to get a sleeve to cover the mechanical portion of the jack since the roads up here get so nasty
Shovel I’m not so worried about security so I’ll just be leaving it how it is in the quick fist mounts

Before heading back to Houston I installed these goodies at my friends place in Asheville.

Some rubbing alcohol on the side steps to get 12 years of wax and grime off. I didn't realize they were supposed to be black.

Weather warmed up this weekend so I was finally able to finish my new owner maintenance list

  • Oil & filter change
  • Changed transfer case oil
  • Changed spark plugs
  • Replaced radiator and thermostat

Aside from some body work trimming on the front to fix my rubbing problem, the Runner is good to go now...which means it's time for upgrades!
