What have you done to your 5th Gen 4Runner today?

And discovered the thermostat housing is weeping.

 

NOOOOOOO!

 

Just a wash today

 

The horror!

 

You could've come over & done mine too, eh!

 

sounds like a plan, I’ll bring some beer!

 

Washed the 2011 today

 

Oh hell I'd supply! I have Coors light but beer store ain't that far

I got some Stella’s and MGD’s!

 

I just really want to see pics of your project. Sounds cool.

 

Not to sound sacrilege on Easter weekend, but had to buy a battery today to resurrect Casper. Went on a roadtrip yesterday. No issues yesterday. Then today, went out to go run some errands, dead

Got it boosted off from a battery pack. Drove to Kroger. Was inside for prob 30 minutes. Came out and cranked right up. Autozone was right there, so had them test battery.

Bad cell.

So got a Duralast Gold battery. And that was just beginning of my issues.

Casper was VERY sluggish to turn over. I had my batter pack with me and boosted off.the new battery. Fired right up. So I figured drive around for 30 minutes and make it wasn't just a freak incident. Got home, turned It, off -- dead as a door nail.

Go get a quick bite before low blood sugar kicks in, but after that, go back to Autozone. Employee sees me pull back in and was out there with their tester. And sure enough-- bad battery (how my luck goes).

He changes it out, retest, and Casper fails to fire up. Try again without a boost off and we have lift off!

He finishes tightening up everything and off i go. Wasn't happy about buying new battery, but cheaper than alternator and it's installation.

After a couple of other errand running today, no more sluggish starts.

 

I installed the Magnuson S/C months ago, just getting around to the winch and bumper. In truth, the only real fabrication i needed to do was to hang the coolant hose under the radiator support and drill some holes to mount the intercooler pump out of the way. The Magnuson kit has everything needed for install, just need to be creative to make it work with a winch.

 

Powder coated wheels?

 

took 5 fam wheelin in the 4R @ brother-in-laws

 

Installed a Sherpa Crestone rack. took a while, erector set by myself. Plastic covers on the factory rack brackets were a bitch to remove.

Have a canoe on order. Needed a better, full length rack.

 

factory 2022 Trail Special wheels. Dark gray alloy

 

Installed my Bud Built rock sliders (XREAS compatible); easy peasy. My wife is happy they are not sitting on my patio anymore.

 

Is that a jeep the kids are working on?

 

of course it is. I recognize that hood up almost every other day. Haha!

 

ya boys this things badass
and, rigged battery to Milwaukee’s as well





**they had a bloody hammer and ice cream on board this afternoon LOL

 

they broke the damn hood strut today

 

I picked up a loaner spring compressor set from AutoZone today to put together some 5100s. The thing is brand spanking new and still in the cellophane wrapper.

 

Roadside assistance tools!

 

Haha, my first thought when I read that was about the bloody hammer and the ice cream!

 

But yeah these are very risky for SUV-sized springs. If you don't want to take it to a shop, at least use a heavier-duty version like these:

$46 Prokomon Heavy Duty Coil Spring Compressor Tool; 3 Pieces Macpherson Strut Spring Compressor Tool with Jaws and Holder; Max Load 2645 Pounds

I just ordered some. Any tips? Or Pics!

 

Hand washed and dried the 2018 today.

 

So I put a Sherpa Crestone on, Got some new

 

I messed that up! Put on a Sherpa crestone, got new 17" rims and tires, put some storage on the rack.
Going up to Main in June riding the logging trails.

 

Topped off fuel so it can sit @ AP for the week tomorrow outside
