So... why don't you take 5 minutes and properly align your headlights. It's not that difficult, I promise

 

Thats not too bad, as long as you get the sliders.

John and Denis, what kind of list do you have?

 

I don't know the specs. DON'T GO TO HOGAN IN WOBURN. They fucking suck!

 

Yeah I learned how to aim lights the hard way. I almost know nothing when it comes to fixing/tuning cars. When i did the BHLM on my Tacoma, I thought the dials were screws to loosen up so you can pry the housing apart. Yes, i was driving with the lights all aiming crazy-eyed. One aimed up and the other one aimed down only lighting up 3 feet in front of me. After driving on the highway to white mountains I pulled into a mcdonalds and learned that those dials were to actually aim the lights and are not to keep the housing together.

 

To be honest with you I have no idea . I bought a Yakima basket and the roof rack bars/locks came with it . I have no use for them so . They look identical to the cl post I linked .

 

Lmaoo. No better place to find out you have horribly aimed headlights than the white mountains!

 

Finish the bed basket thing . (steel is coming today) change fluids, rebuild my spare wheel bearing . Mount Tranfer case skid. Adjust coilovers, alignment
Remove tow wire harness (so I don't fuck it up anymore then I already have)
Then just go through the truck tighten everything down.

 

I should prob move my tow harness as well. We will see how ambitious I feel.

 

Can anyone recommend a decent alignment shp on the North Shore?

Chris

 

Not in my neck of the woods. Sorry I can't be of any help.

 

If your not towing anything down . You can just unplug it and unbolt it . Keep it safe in the truck. That's what I'm doing. I won't have time to relocate to the bumper .

 

That is what I will do

 

Hey guys wow I have missed alot on here. We were down the Cape for a vaca.

 

Ya,thanks Erik! LOL

A little banged up,really? LOL

Deep breathes. LOL I have a Wilson "Lil Wil" mag mount antenna if you need one in a pinch.
Oh and is your friend interested in the recovery hitch? if not someone on the boards wants it.

Waitng on my ATO front skid plate,hopfully next week!
Have the transmission skid all ready to go,but can't do shit without the front skid!
Need to grease all the grease fittings and check and tighten down shit and i've got a rattle coming from the drivers side front suspension when i hit a pot hole ,it's fine when i go over a bump though,checked everything and it's tight so need to do more investigating.
Oh ya move the spare tire to the bed and tie it down somehow,maybe it's time to add a few extra d rings in the bed.

 

Yea just a little bit!

Torque your lower control arm bolts down. Might be the noise your having .

 

Today on the Caribbean island of Bonaire, I found a 2005 4Runner with a 6 speed!!!!! Life. Complete.

Now to figure out where to import them from....

Also, the cops here drive 5th gens. Toyota represent!!!!

 

Magnaflow FTW Had it installed today and it's night in day from the fm. Alittle quiet then the fm but no drone in cab, quiet at idle and screams when you floor it. Plus it gave my engine alittle more pep and doesn't bog on hills.

 

Miguel how much did that run you? Who did it? Do you still have dual pipes ? Sound clip please

 

It cost 225 for the magnaflow stainless steel installed. I kept my duals and just had the muffler replaced. I went to Lou's custom exhaust. The best place for muffler and Piping for sure. I'll take a video this weekend. I love the muffler cause at idie it's like factory, you can't hear it but once you step on the gas, it makes a nice deep tone. Not to loud like the my fm 40s buy deff a good tone. Plus the engine feels so much smoother.
