TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

Fixed the stupid F150 wheel bearings. No more noise thank god. 2 more weeks and then she’ll be for sale.

 

You got some competition for buying the runner now.

Also scored some RCI skids today.

 

Played on the beach and ate tacos for the holiday

Is OG RCI. The original batch. I wasn’t even expecting it, just the mid skid but he said hey this is yours too.

 

Places to snag on rocks, or places to drain sand

 

Them skids was his first design when RCI came to the market. Too many holes for sure.
Now he only puts 1 on for draining oils. Still make a mess, I'd say, no holes.

 

i will probably do a fomoto drain valve for my oil pan. the hole lines up but it was a mess with the huge hole from the OEMs. The filter location however im going to have to rig up a gallon of milk cut in half for a drain lol

 

yeah theres quite a gap from the drain plug to the skid so it seems like the way i will go next change.

 

Forgot about the 8 having the filter on the bottom.
The 6 was easy enough, ran a hose to the oil drain area for awhile.

 

All cleaned up ready for rebuild. Having a parts washer makes it super easy.

 

Ya nice hot toxic degreaser flowing. I just got to the shop on base and it’s usually $2 but today it was free.
I found this there too.

 

I need to rebuild my spare CV with fresh boots. I bought the boots months ago, and they've just been sitting in the box.

These things are awesome. I used the one on base here when I got my kings and had to adjust them down. So much better and safer than those sketchy things autozone rents...

 

Mmmmm Downtravel. Lubed the front end and tightened the Ballistic Joints before I drive it back to San Diego for the summer
