What have you done to your 3rd Gen 4Runner today?

So?

 

Just thought it was funny. Didn’t know horses ate cat food.

 

And I’m glad I saw squirrels.....

 

No, i mean so did you hit on the lady?

 

Janice? No, she’s hot but I’m happily married.

 

Jumped something leaving my stand at dark. I couldn’t see it. Fast as hell, they are quick..

 

My ABS light has been on for ten years. I might diagnose it next...

 

Picked up six quarts of Mobil 1 5w-30 and filter, Dot 3 break fluid (gonna do a vacuum flush), and two bottles of Dexron II to freshen up the tranny. And switching back to my Coopers For winter...

 

There’s something about doing the maintenance on your own vehicle that gives you a real sense of accomplishment....

 

Vacuum bleeded brakes. I don’t think it’s ever been done. 15 years ago I bleeded by simply pushing on the brake pedal but I don’t think it cycled through the whole system. Noticed a difference brakes seem more responsive....

 

And I’m rolling on Coopers again... I’m lifted a few inches from my GT Radials...

 

Just suctioned the power-steering fluid out of the reservoir. Been in there for almost 25 years. It was black but can see through it. Refilled with fresh. No whine at all when turning...

 

I got a massive Personal Property tax bill.
$26.74!!!

 

Went hunting saw deer and a great buck!! A new gate is being installed Monday and I have sole permission to hunt it. Well unless one of you would like to go?

 

I have a 94 Land Cruiser and actually run ATF in my power steering. I know the cap says run ATF but how many of you actually run it in your 4Runner power steering?

 

Ya it’s the same stuff..I wonder if there’s a way to flush the system? To drain out the old prob from a connection underneath?

 

Picked this up today

 

Put some seat cover and a steering wheel cover on it today. I really am enjoy the runner. Gas is terrible but oh well I knew that already

 

Cleaned it up!! And... fixed my cup holder.

Painted my Oem five stars. 4 coats duplicolor graphite. And 3 coats duplicolor clear coat. Pinstriped the Toyota logo. Extremely happy with the results. Took me all an all 5 hours.

 

Well that was short lived haha shortly after painted my 5 star OEMS I got a maaaajjjjooor hookup. I got this brand new in boxes Boyd Coddington 17x9 w/ Toyo Open Country radials 285/70r/17 with 60% tread left. All for FREE. My cousin called me and said meet me at the tire shop I’m getting new tires and you can have my Boyd’s that have been sitting in my garage for 2 years. I never got up so quick to the tire shop I went haha. So stoked looks so much better and fills in the fender flares!

 

Certainly nice. For sure. But, IMO, I like the ones you painted better.

 

I certainly liked the ones I painted better at first too, I really did. But after a few days of eye balling it though the window and after I wax the whole car. I really fell in love with the chromes haha. I’m also a sucker for nice chrome lol

 

Washed, rubbing compound, clay, wax and polish sealer. Wow I pulled up a lot of dirt, previous owner took it a lot to big bear and havasu. Paint looks new now

 

New shift knob!


It really is the little things. New leather shift boot comes next week.

Merry Christmas!

Matt

 

Going to see Star Wars....midnight showing only two other people are booked......may the shwartz be with you....

 

Prob the best Star Wars ever!!!And they had Tesla charging stations.....

 

I’m all swelled up on vanilla Diet Coke and popcorn....

 

Went for a very relaxed drive in 4wd. Spent a few hours in the woods. The deer came in down wind and snorted at me all evening a couple hundred yards out. You’ve trained them well Obi-Wan.......

 

Drove to the local sub shop. It’s only a couple miles away and it’s 25 mph. Two, yes, two people drove by me with their high beams on. And I didn’t have my yellow night driving goggles. I figured a quick trip I wouldn’t need them, geez. Tomorrow there calling for an inch or two of snow. It’s going to be total chaos.. Two people just died here, head on collision. I bet high beams were involved..
