What did you do with your 4runner today?

[Bluesky 07]

How many tubes did you need?

This was my 4th time doing it since buying my truck in late 2014. It needed most of a tube the first time and much less each time since. In fact, yesterday the slip yokes were the only two that took more than a couple of pumps. The other four “crackled” almost immediately. (If you’re new to this, you’ll hear a crackling noise when the four spider zerks are full and the grease starts expressing at the “seams” as shown in my pic above.)

Replaced a seized caliper and swapped in new 2nd gen sway bar links in the back for $38 shopped from rock auto. Had to cut the old ones out because of the rusted bolts but new ones went on without a problem! Rides definitely improved followed by a quick ride to the beach for a much needed cold one

I think we got the same endlinks. Are they the proforged? I was surprised the size of the box they came in. I haven’t installed mine yet though. I was hoping they’d help with the driver lean.

Nice find. I picked mine up off Craigslist too. Paid $400 for it and it was in almost brand new condition. He'd even installed the license plate relocation and LED light kit. It took about two months of searching CL every morning before I found it.

Yeah I pretty much paid that much for mine without the license plate / LED kit though. I need to see if I can buy one because it looks like they don't make it anymore. Or fab one up lol...it looks so simple yet it costs so much. Do you have a shot of yours installed? I looked at your build thread and didn't see any...

Yeah pro forged. I was too I didn't open the rock auto box till I went to put them on, but they seem a lot more sturdier then the oem ones. Only took about 20 minutes cut the old ones off and put the new ones on plus taking the tires on and off

It looks like he just drilled holes and tapped them for the license plate bolts. He bought one of those cheesy chrome trailer license plate lights (which is why you don't see any pictures of it). I bought a black LED trailer light off Amazon last week and I'm going to replace it with that, maybe tomorrow. If I do, I'll shoot a couple of pictures of it.

You can see it in this picture, just not well and the chrome is covered with black Gorilla tape. (That reminds me, I have a few new entries for my build thread, including the Wilco...)

Got my new plates on today...figured they'd make showing off the battle scar on my front bumper a little more appropriate

Cable Part Number?

Does anyone recognize/know the part number for this cable which is located almost directly above the rear axle?
It connects into a port directly next to the rear shock and extends across the body of the car to the other side.

Yesterday I bought it, today I'm buying stuff for it and fixing some small things. Previous owners were a little rough on the finishes but it's pretty solid overall.

Boom! Level panhard. Just about perfect for my 3.5" rear lift.

Not my 4th gen but my parents' GX470,same chassis.

Ever have a spring perch rust away?

Left front strut, the one next to it is a OEM 4th-gen.

Drove out and in (in is uphill) my 1/4 mile dirt (squishy muddy) driveway after Hurricane Lane. Glad I use both 4X4 and the diff lock button regularly. Needed both.

I bought my 4runner today! ‘08 V8 Limited. Nav and RAS (unfortunately). One owner, 167k miles, serviced at the same Toyota dealership it’s whole life. Excited to join the 4Runner world. Pic of previous car for reference.
