What did you do with your 4runner today?

installed my snorkel. Was not nearly as concerned about drilling a hole in my fender as I should have been.

Also broke all my fender clips, so to toyota I go tomorrow.

Adjusted the parking brake. Feels like ~8 clicks, but will see if it can hold tomorrow.

While i was doing this i also wanted to inspect the rear calipers to see if one was frozen/seized as there is some pulsation in the brake pedal. I was able to compress both in with equal force, but on one side i discovered uneven pad wear from front to back.

The 4Runner threw a P0456 code this morning so I figured that it was time for a new gas cap. I bought an OEM cap, cleared the code, and am hoping that was it... the original cap was pretty sloppy compared to the new one.

Had Adventure Wired come over and installed an Odsey 31M-PC2150 in a Pelfrebilt cage, using Slee Offroad military terminals. Pretty easy install and it fits great.

He also installed these LED lights in my rear hatch. Pretty awesome!

My sunroof gasket was shot and unfortunately you can’t replace just the gasket. Well after viewing a number of threads on how expensive it was to have the dealer replace just the glass, I decided I’d call around to some salvage yards. I found the entire assembly for $150 locally, so I grabbed it and last night my dad, wife and I dropped the headliner, and the entire assembly.

It took about 5 hours in total but I have a new working sunroof that seals correctly. Luckily I have covered parking so I never got any water damage when it rained and now I’m set.
 
Replaced bulbs in the temperature/clock LCD panel. Probably the easiest thing a guy could do in this vehicle. I will finally be able to see the time and whatnot without having to turn on the light on top while squinting, lol.

Did you happen to grab pics of the process or was there an existing writeup you followed? Does your rig have airbags in the pillars?

I'm going to have to do the same eventually, curious what I'm in for.
 
Changed front and rear diff fluid, and transfer case. 40k mile interval. What struck me odd was the rear was the cleanest of the three - still clear and just barely amber colored.

Anyone else experience something like this?

No more rubbing! I have the Insane Fab cover plates to weld on at some point.

I've got some pictures that I'll post up tomorrow for you. Basically I followed the TSB. I have airbags in the pillars and all in all it wasn't terrible. Once you get the headliner off, it's a matter of undoing 8 bolts and nuts and letting the entire assembly drop. If you go the route of replacing the glass, it's probably a bit harder, but with the entire assembly it's literally drop it, put the new one in, connect it all back up and you're ready to roll.

I'll get you those pictures tomorrow.

The TSB you need is the headliner and the sliding roof system sections. "Remove the headliner in 54 easy steps!"
I found this video pretty helpful as well:
