TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

None on road...but as soon as I left the road, I stuffed the left front into the fender. Solution...1" BL. All taken care of...I think. Just installed the BL before going into hospital..So I need to double check a couple things once up and around then go play. But we flex the wheel with the shop's lift and all seemed great!

 

keep is updated

 

Awesome video!! Crazy going straight up for that long!

will do. It will be 2 or 3 week before I can drive...but by then we'll have snow down and then it's play time!!

 

I believe Icon is having 20% sale. 10% off plus not having to pay for shippping(saving $90+) is a win win in my book. I try to wait for a sale at least, and it is nice their shop isn't to far away either.

 

Finally installed my extended brake lines.
Installed and wired up my new bumper lights today.

Adjusted my coilovers another inch.. Should I get the front aligned again?

 

If you have the free alignment plan then why not? If not, I don't think it would be much difference.

 

i do have one

 

I would throw it in the shop then. Wouldn't hurt.

 

I need a beer. what you guys up to?

 

@Russtoy I am finally reading into Amsoil

Now I want to do a group buy

 

Okay, I just want to make sure I am looking at this right:

GL-5 can be used for front AND rear differentials AND transfercase?

This write up says GL-5 for Front and Rear

I just used Lucas synthetic 75-90w in my diffs and tcase. Has worked out great so far.

Pricey but you don't change it too often so why not.

 

Hey @ramonortiz55...sorry wasn't on-line last night. After Ohio State Crashed and burned I called it a night!! Last I saw yall were down by 3....did yall come back and win?

This is what you want to buy for your 4Runner:

You will need 12qts....which you should end up with about 1/2 a qt extra or so.

 

Ill look into it further when I get to a desktop. I got your PM, I will get back with you ASAP.


@4x4runner2002 check out or BS room.. about 4 or 5 of us in here..

 

Baaahhhh, was replacing my manual hub set up with ADD to sell the 4runner and got all the way to installing the spindles I got from a member here for free and they are non-ABS. Ugh everything was going so smooth and I was so close to finishing the front end, but now I have to head to the pick n pull and get some spindles. Unfortunately I will have to wait till next weekend to utilize the black friday sale they will probably have.

 

@RedRunner87 what did you paint your flares with?

 

Plastidip. I was debating keeping them black or going back to silver, but I think I like the black more.

 

Wrapped up some projects today!
- Blue Sea fuse block and circuit breaker installed
- Amazon light bar, Hella waterproof relay and harness, and OTRATTW Contura V (soon to be switched out to XIV) rocker switch
- Painted hitch with Rustoleum Hammered Black spray paint

Now for the nice 230 mile trek from Butte to Red Lodge for Thanksgiving Break

 

he's alllliiiiiivveeeee!!!
