What did you do with your 4runner today?

Busy day working on the truck. I was able to get the following done on a beautiful day off.

1. Replaced the burned out bulds in the LCD screen on the dash.

2. Replaced the worn out bottom rear weather strip.

3. Assembled a pair of 5100s w/ new OEM FJ springs. Full install scheduled for this weekend.
 
How was that? I have a shopping cart full of the piecs but I haven't pulled the trigger yet.

Pretty easy actually. I checked the FSM, it helped to see how they came off. Used some degreaser and Goof Off to get rid of the residue left behind from the old weatherstripping. They just snap on and held with the one screw at the end of each weatherstrip.
 
Thank you sir. They’re currently unavailable on Amazon. No wonder my search was coming up blank.


Just out of curiosity has anyone used the poly performance "Taco Tabs" here is a link, I am thinking of ordering some. What are your thoughts ?? Thanks

Finally finished up installing the Dobinson's lift from Exit Offroad on my 04 V6 4runner. Only snapped on bolt on the Rear Swaybar End link so those ended up getting replaced also. Got close to 2.5"-3" lift and it maintained the rake. Got the HD Springs since I will be loaded up with a RTT and camper occasionally.

Now to replace the 12 year old tires. Been happy with the KO2s on my Jeep. Leaning that way for the 4runner

I will be installing these when I rebuild my LCA's. I intend to install whiteline bushings, Moog ball joints, Total Chaos cam tab gussets, poly Taco Tabs and Total Chaos spindle gussets.

From what I've read these are most beneficial when you have adjustable UCA's to adjust for caster, but can still be run without them. Only adjustment made by the alignment shop will be toe after you install these.

I've been putting off doing them. After seeing a few posts about them I decided I better take care of it. I Ordered a new rear O2 sensor, all new window weather-stripping, light socket for one of my turn signals, and i would've ordered a new head unit but no one has anything I want in stock.

What did your windshield end up costing you and where did you have it done? Mine is pitted and kinda driving me nuts.
 
Full leather treatment using Leatherique rejuvenation oil -> Lexol cleaner -> Lexol conditioner. These seats have 160k miles on them but look and feel like half that now.

Does anyone recognize what brand of aftermarket leather these are? I don't think sport editions could have leather from the factory but I know some had them installed as dealer options.

If you want to save a few $$ you can get them from OEM Part Source | Genuine Toyota, Honda, Ford Parts and Accessories | OEM Parts

Mine arrived a couple of weeks ago $22.22 for each strip add on shipping and taxes it worked out at $107. Have not put them on yet because they arrived after the head gasket went on my 4runner. Replacement engine arrived last Friday and my mechanic started to put it in Monday, hoping to get word later today.

You are the man, thanks

I question their adjustability. There is still a bit of play in them although it will keep your alignment for moving more than the OEM cam bolts.

How much of a pain was it to get the stock cam gussets off? Did you drill the welds or chisel/grind them off?

Tore apart the dash to fix a faulty evaporator core. Man this is one big undertaking. Tomorrow is putting it all back together. Crossing fingers hoping everything goes together smoothly and don’t have to do any work twice.

What head unit are you looking for?
