What did you do with your 4runner today?

damn, just clay bar my windows, still need to use a razor blade to all of them due to grease and water spots, but the clay is enough for now, found out my driver side window felt is torn, so i just browse toyota parts express and partznet. partznet was cheaper by a couple of dollars each. so i just ordered all 4.

Since I bought my 2008 on Saturday, I've been slowly fixing a couple small issues:

  • Recharged the AC. So far it's still going strong, which is a relief because I was worried there was a leak.
  • Replaced the stock bulbs in the dome light with some LEDs. I plan to do the same to the map lights.
  • Front windshield washer wasn't working, but pump was making noise and rears worked. I tracked it down to a cut/repaired hose near the back passenger edge of the hood -- bought some new tubing and couplers and swapped out the faulty portion and it works like a charm

Next project is to figure out the whistling/squealing sound from the rear wheels. It only happens at very low speeds (under 8mph) and seems a little louder when turning. But even then, it's hard to hear unless the windows are down. Anyone have some guesses as to what this may be?

You lucked out. My rear washer wasn't working and I pumped a gallon of water under the passenger carpet before I diagnosed it.

Good excuse to replace the carpet, however.
 
Replaced the stop lamp switch assembly on my 4runner. Took all of 30 seconds with no tools being needed.

It addressed the issue with my ABS/VSC/Trac lights randomly coming on.
 
Got JBA UCAs installed and had alignment done. Gotta go back in a few weeks and have the alignment rechecked. Happy that the sway bar is back on. I took it off when I changed the oil about two weeks ago to isolate a noise (thought it might be the end links). It was the old upper ball joints.
 
Received a package from [MENTION=168547]S_Wilson[/MENTION] perfectly packaged Cluster/HVAC/buttons/steering/window ready for a complete led overhaul!

Removed the running boards, chopped the resonator and did a 4" exhaust tip out the side.

Lifts, tires and maybe new wheels coming up in the next month or so.

Those awesome welds make it look like its jewelry!
 
Judging by the stacked washers and trashed CV you're a complete hack...



:rofl:



Looking good.



Yes! Sometimes I am a hack on my own stuff. Haha the wide open cv makes it easy to see where it’s gonna bind, also. Tightening my locks is hard so stack washers for speed and you don’t have to buy new nuts for final assembly! Win win.

wow, what is happening here?

Are you building this truck to survive air drops?



Keep us posted on the out come.

And is there anything new going on with the rear?



Just a typical Longtravel front kit. A little wider than most on the market at about 4.75” wider each side. Rear for now is on Bolt in kings and ome coils. Not sure how far down the rabbit hole I want to go in the rear. I need to keep the inside clear for sleeping in.

Also, saving pennies to fix my blown head gasket.. [emoji853]
