What have you done to your 4th Gen 4Runner today?

What kind of headlights are those? How have they held up?

 

Not sure, I bought the pair off of Amazon. They are holding up ok so far.

 

Yes indeed......on the way to Flagstaff, to let my pups run in the snow, the odometer turned the 100000 mile mark... When I got back I checked brake pads. Got to replace the fronts soon, rears good fort another 20,000.... 100K and still ALL original (and I meeeean ALL..not even a burnt light bulb) but for battery and tires! What a car!!!!!!
You know....I've been thinking of getting a new car but with all the problems cars have now a days (9 recalls and no replacement parts for the $50,000 VW Atlas alone) I think I'll keep my 4Runner for another 100K miles!

 

Fixed my 06 intermittent wiper relay
And all good to go.

 

Finally installed my Prinsu Rack over the weekend!

 

Did some replacement items this past week, I lost one of my inner mud guards so I replaced them with a better thicker set and then my rear window trim was coming apart so I replaced it as well.

 

Ordered lift parts.

 

Cleaned up the headlights Sunday.
Before:
After:

 

Replaced the pulleys and Belt Tensioner pulley wasn't as hard as I thought , It's Great to have some members that have already posted to this forum DIY

 

Where did you get the inner mud guard?

 

Great group to deal with, fast response and shipping.

Added 20 HP

 

ADDED A REAR LIGHT AND WIRE WITH RELAY THAT ACTIVATES WHEN MY REVERSE LIGHT COMES ON.

 

That’s a cool idea! Doesn’t really get in the way or look odd.

 

Removed the stock head unit (6 disc changer) and installed an alpine head unit.

 

Installed interior LEDs; amber dome lights and door lights, white in both rears (will probably go all amber). Replaced the burnt out panel lights. Removed the stock side steps and roof rack, in preparation for a DGG Fab rack in a few weeks. Installed my Greyman Tactical Molle panels for my rifle on my driver seat; as well as two on the rear hatch for misc. gear. Installed QuickFists for my fishing poles and kayak paddles. Installing smoked tail lights tomorrow. Next weekend I'm installing an LC80 snorkel, CBI ditch light mounts and lights, amber rock lights, amber grille lights, pod reverse lights, and accessory rocker switches for the aforementioned.

 

Well damn! Wasting no time huh?

 

Ordered a new dimpled leather steering wheel off of ebay. I didn't get my Wheelskin on my current wheel sewn on quite right and it bugs me to no end.

 

2” front leveling kit.
New headlights! Much better the old ones would not stop hazing up.

 

Looks good

 

The most important mod so I can monitor things.
Also added the ATF to XGauge.

 

I have mine in the same spot... just wish I could pull trans temps! Doesn't pull up in my 2009. Did you have to enable something to get that to show?

 

Flip the trans and water temps and that's exactly how mine is set up.

 

You need to add a gauge in with the XGauge feature. Check your owners manual for the ScanGauge II and it will tell you how. These are the values needed.

 

Thanks!! Doing this as soon as I get home LOL

 

Np.

 

Replaced a CV axle yesterday and changed front diff oil.
On the docket for the rest of the weekend is new spark plugs, oil change, rear diff oil, and transfer case oil, and a leveling kit install.

 

New water pump, thermostat, fan clutch, alternator brushes, radiator and new coolant. Whew! Saved about $2000 from dealer pricing. 133000 miles.


Tip: the lower alternator bolt is a bitch. Tried to get to it several times in the past year to change the brushes and I always slipped off the bolt. When the fan and fan clutch are out of the way for water pump or radiator, try again. Went smoothly because I could fit an 18 in breaker bar in the area.

 

Any reason why you changed it? Or just that time?
