What did you do with your 4runner today?

I got a new stablemate to share dd duties.
 
Nice combo, I have the 98 itR



Haha man I’m jealous. I’d love an original ITR. Too hard to find unmolested and clean title though. I was in high school when those came out and wasn’t driving age yet. Plus I was more interested in 4Runners than tuner cars back then. Now im into everything. Im still trying to get my muscle car fix now that my hatchback fix is complete. Almost pulled trigger on an EP3 this past weekend til this beauty became available.
 
I actually pulled the PCV out. After 14 years! i had sprayed penetrating oil into it but finally decided to gave it a shake. It rattled. No, I didn't replace it, just cleaned it good.

I also went around and gave the 10 mm valve cover nuts a tighten. I noticed oil inside the plug wells when changing them. many of the 10mm were loose.

Removed 13WH's and installed 14WA 5th gen calipers, new rotors, pads, and wheel bearings while I was in there. And did same with rear, but not the bearings...

Not as much brake work as above, but I did replace a caliper with a stuck piston and installed new brake pads on my 04 Sport.

Looks great! How difficult were the wheel bearings to replace? I’m thinking that’s next on my “to do” list, but I’ve never done it before.
 
found my passenger side fully soaked, apparently, the ac tech who was checking for leaks pulled in the drain hose...and didnt push it out, so all the ac drin water has been pooling up in my car, i had weather techs in front..so couldnt see the water...and then had some stuff stashed in the rear passenger floor,
such f#@@$%%k!.
had to remove all the seats, get the rug out, give it a good wash, and hope the smell goes away

so a quick question: with the chairs removed, and the harness removed, i intend to install only the drivers seat, so i can drive the truck to work tomorrow, am wondering if the fron passenger seat harness not being hooked up with throw any cel?.my car is sr5, no seat/side airbag

Yes, it'll work. Drove my truck around like that a few days while finishing up my audio install. Didn't have to recalibrate the passenger airbag sensor either.
 
Installed my Rutech bypass kit today. Well just the electronic component. One of the few peace of mind things so I can start to drive my rig. Been parked almost a month since I brought her home from PA!

This weekend, I went out to Anza Borrego with a buddy and his wife in their 5th Gen. Had a great time and found an awesome camping spot. I tried some night time photography but the sky was completely clouded over and I did not spend enough time before hand learning the features of my camera. Lesson learned.

Got her registered and plated, upgraded the firmware for this wonky Pioneer unit (it's slightly less wonky now), and pulled the piezo chirper out so my lock/unlock isn't a spectacle.

Going to plastidip the chrome emblems tomorrow-ish, and head over to CVJ and pick up a new CV for the passenger's side.
