What did you do with your 4runner today?

What bulbs did you go with? Thinkin about converting front and rear turns to LED's too

I went simple and got the Sylvania 6K LED 1157 white bulbs (not even the ZEVO ones) at WalMart. Just did the front DRL/turn signals. If the DRLs make them run too hot I will just switch the DRL's off in techstream and let the fogs go all the time (i did the anytime fog lamp mod already). If i do that i might go with the 1157A LEDs, but we will see.
 
Well yesterday was an interesting night but got that damn passenger diff axle seal in after little tap after little tap.

Well to my surprise I am not able to get the OEM brake lone off due to some rust. I have attempted to use BF penetration oil but no go. Suggestions are welcomed!

Changed the rear differential oil, pretty dirty, looked like it still had the original oil in it after 140,000 miles. Bolts came right out, was concerned after what I've read on here about them. Found it on Craigslist, one of the photos showed a glimpse of the frame, went and bought it that day.

The previous owner of my 4Runner had some kind of weird 'mouse' controller for an auxiliary MP3 player or something, and it left an ugly hole in one of the dummy switches on the center console. I took the opportunity to wire in a Blue Sea marine grade dual USB outlet.

I also did the overhead interior PFran LED light swap, plus back-up light.

All things I probably wouldn't have done myself had it not been for the helpful people here!
 
I installed the Sport Edition roof rack I got last weekend. the rear passenger end cap had a tab break off that I tried to plastic weld back on with a soldering iron and some ABS scraps from my 3d printer. we'll see if it holds.

Prob need to replace unfortunately. Especially if you've twisted the line a bit back and forth trying to free it up. Sorry
 
Hi guys! New to the forum and 4Runners. Went and looked at a Lava Red Limited today that looked and felt great. It’s an Ohio/Michigan car with 109k and is a 2006. My question is do these pics seem like more rust than normal or is this what I should expect? Really sold on the car as long as this isn’t anything to worry too much about. Thanks in advance.

RUN. DO NOT BUY. Interior of frame rails likely in much worse shape.

That frame looks immaculate and you live in Wisconsin? Looks like the previous owner took care of it.
 
Got the baby all cleaned up

A quick spotless pressure washing always does the baby some good after work!

Are those the dark gloss gunmetal FX Pro's? They look fricken sweet and I think I want to get a set of those.

They sure are! I was originally set on the matte black, but after seeing some good photos of the gloss gunmetal I went with them instead. Love the way they look with the galactic grey
 
I picked up my Bilstien shocks at the post office today. Now I just need my springs and it will be ready to lift. On a side note I am getting a replacement scangauge 2 this evening under warranty from autozone. One of the LEDs for the backlight failed. Apparently Autozone offers a 3 year warranty.
