    -Pulled both spindles off to have the Total Chaos gusset kit W/Swaybar welded on this week.

    -Also installed the ECGS bearing because I was getting vibes from my front end. CV shaft came out decently easy.

    -I will finally put on the 1/4 spacer on the driver side to take care of the "TACO LEAN"

    -Will replace the driver side sway bar end link when I get the spindles back because I had to cut the nut off.

    -Finished the Cab Mount Chop I started 6 months ago. I'm running 265s right now it's in preps for larger tires one day.

    -Found out my stock rotors holes where the lugs go through have been wallowing out and that's why I get a clunk when I hit my brakes 1st time, means the rotors are rotating on the hub. So it looks like I'll need new rotors. Time to upgrade.

    -All the red is not rust it's red dirt stains. It's a Hawaii thing.

    Took rob out for his first real trail day in his 5th gen 4runner. He had an INCREDIBLY good time and he is HOOKED. his truck has a spacer lift and 285/70/17 AT’s currently. He made it down waterfall without any issues.

    And then we ran into this lady within box canyon who made us feel very uncomfortable. She was a little discheveled & all by herself in a stock newer Chevy Silverado in the middle of the canyon (an intermediate trail outside of town), she was blocking the trail and asked to take a ride in my buddy’s Jeep. I feared the worst (a bait and switch) maneuver where she’d have her group of thugs ambush us to rob us and take our trucks but we were carrying “defensive tools” and we asked her to get out of the way so we could go through.


    Never wheel alone & always carry defensive tools.

    Toyota of Naples had a pretty good BF sale and free shipping. I bought the SP and some OE TRD Mats, $200 for everything. Guys were buying the 17" TRD rims pretty cheap during that sale.

    Found out my third brake light stopped working... annoying. Also my tires hitting the top of my fender liner when going over larger bumps/inclines in and out of driveways etc is annoying me. Probably going go put my 1/4 inch spacers back on in the front. Been debating on doing the Leaf spring recall and ordering a new add a leaf for them to install. I also am still searching for a foam mattress for my bed canopy conversions. Going to buy a canopy pop up tent and some lawn chairs for it this weekend as well. Wish money wasnt an issue. I'd have a kickass rig lol

    Yes its possible, remove the bulbs for the DTRL an side markers, if possible grab a small clean funnel insert in one of the holes an use a blow dryer on a low setting to blow the moisture out.:thumbsup:

    That's actually a nice idea, would it be easier to remove the entire unit?

    I probably wouldnt you may have to readjust the headlight assembly. I would remove the battery for extra working room though if driver side, passenger side Id move windshied fluid resi though its just 2 10mm bolts.

    I think some models came with that skidplate from the factory but in my case, '06 TRD SR5 4x4 it came with the thin factory one.

    I pulled the toyota emblems off the center caps and swapped them for these.
