TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

God I hate the front suspension on 4th gens. Stupid sway bar is in the way and no wiggle room. Finally got my fj shocks/coils on the moms 4runner though. Now to get the rear done.

 

@MattJakobs discount has some “used” 285/75/17 ST Maxx right now. Might be able to get them for $700. https://m.ebay.com/itm/4-USED-LT285...-MAXX-75R-R17-TIRES-/362230682661?_mwBanner=1

 

Damn, that was a good deal. Already gone though, for that price, I might have dug into my rainy day fund. I'm not stoked on the $300/tire price they go for

 

Yeah got an email they sold for $700...I was super tempted but really don’t need that size tire yet.

 

That's the next tire size I want so it would've been perfect.
Do you know if they do those deals often?

 

Beach trip Saturday

 

damn boot is torn at the inner clamp. Looks like tape coming in the clutch for the weekend.

 

Not really unfortunately. It’s totally random what they post in the used section.

 

theres grease in it so it should be ok. Ill need to reboot upon my return. so far with being LT, the CVs are the worst part.

 

Well I've got a set of king rear shocks headed my way now. Let's see how I like them.

 

Just got shipping email, not sure WTF is going on over there but at least things are moving.

 

i need to stop reading stories about skin walkers and shit before heading to the desert. WTF is wrong with me

 

Haha, had to google that.

 

i accidentally stumble into the r/nosleep section at times and there was a few about the desert that i shouldnt have read.

 

Haha I didn't see any of them in Mojave. I did have a mouse in my engine bay that was making a bunch of noise. I was afraid he was going to chew through wires so I opened the hood and left it open so it wouldn't be a nice warm place for him to start building a nest.

After I chased him away and opened the hood I got back in the truck (we were eating dinner in the front seats because it was cold) and a couple minutes later I swear I heard human footsteps come up to my driver side door. I still don't know what it was that made the noise, but it was freaky. It was totally dark, no moon or anything. There shouldn't have been anyone around, but it sounded just like a person walking across gravel. We looked around with flashlights and couldn't find an animal or anything. I was very alert after that though.

 

i know the mind plays tricks when its that silent. Thankfully we will be going with a group of 6 or so.

 

Could have been, it was wierd though. It sounded just like a person walking. I was worried he'd chew through one wire that's crucial and then we're stuck. I had the same thing with a mouse in Canyonlands, but forgot about it because we don't really have mice like that out here. The lights is a good idea, I'll have to remember that. And get some underhood lights first.

 

I’ll shoot a MF if I get up to piss and meet a coyote

 

F that. Between coyotes and skin walkers I’m not gonna sleep.

 

Well if folklore runs true, they are.
