What did you do with your 4runner today?

I drove to starbucks and subway.

But this weekend I got some TRD off road stickers:thumb3:

this weekend i put on 265 / 70 / 17 bfg rugged terrains. they look great. can't wait to see how good they are offroad. up next spidertrax.
 
I've upgraded all but my high beams to silverstar ultra whites. I performed the blackout headlight mod today. I took off the running boards last night. My new LED dome lights are on backorder from V-LEDs but they'll be in when they get here. I've already replaced my maplights with 6000k leds and plan on replacing the door lamps.

I plan on adding a cornfed 3/2 lift and 32-33 in BF Goodrich AT's, Rola roof rack, and a bull bar with extra fog lamps.

I am very iffy as to whether I should plastidip my wheels. I love the look, but I've heard that they can get to looking pretty ratty if washed and can chip easily.
 
Over the weekend installed Billstein 5100's all around. Much improved over the stock suspension!

The 4Runner took me off the highway into the wilderness to shoot my gun today. Didn't get any pics of the 4Runner unfortunately. Next time.
 
We went for a little drive today after getting a dusting last night.

Well, now it was yesterday, but me and two of my sisters drove to Pismo beach and tried out the 4wd on the dunes...got pretty far back and didn't even let air out of the tires! Beautiful 66 degrees and sunny. Sat on the beach in a lawn chair with a soda and chips and did absolutely nothing...it was great!!!
 
Gave the plastic cladding a treatment with mothers black to black, gave her a spray wax and detailed the interior an vacuumed it, installed new wipers (witch are crappy so taking them back and getting Rain-X latitudes tomorrow)

Oil change tomorrow as well. An gotta re do everything I did today because of the damn rain!

Where do you drive around? Last time I was in tahoe I tried to hit some trails on the map but it was all gated up for the season. If you could point me to a couple of casual offroad spots it would help me find some activity for when I'm not on the slopes. :D
 
Installed spidertrax wheel spacers and drove around town a bit. I didn't detect any problems. My wife however moved it about 30 feet and complained about brakes grinding. It sounded like she may have been describing the traction control. I went out drove it around the block and again no problems. Anyone had this issue?

Also, I probably over torqued the lugs on a spacer, no wheels though. Could this cause a problem?
 
Fixed my CB radio antenna, yelled at the cow at chickfila over my pa system, and drove past a cop going 55 in a 45 and didn't get a ticket.

That was yesterday, but i think i would consider that a good day.
 
Washed her, cleaned the inside, packed it (in process of moving) and did some minor stuff.
Finally got my LED under-running board light strips soldered up, hooked on, and wired last week. They took a little time and patience but are super bada$$, look awesome, and are very functional. Glad I put them on and learned that the double sided tape and outdoor epoxy WON'T hold the strips on for very long. I ended up having to anchor them with zip-ties, which are forever lasting. :guitar2:
Hi snobrdr033,

1. Can you please elaborate a bit more on what soldering you had to do for the under-running board LED install you did?

2. Do you have any close up pics of the soldering as well as the lights themselves? I want to see how you zip-tied them.

3. Any pics of the LED's on at night?

I'm guessing you hooked them up to the dome light circuit so that they come on when you unlock the doors or turn on the dome light? If not, what did you do?
