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

Tach is registering engine idle speed. That's why I made the comment. Maybe some people don't know this? Thought is was common knowledge but never know.

 

Good eye...didn't catch that
Yeah not a gr8 idea
Funny picture tho

 

I was thinking the same thing

 

Engine wasn't running. I was at a full serve station.

 

I figured out when the light comes on, there's still 4 gallons in the tank.

 

I took the picture after adding gas. I had just started the vehicle. The gas gauge registered the amount of gas, but the range hadn't reset yet. I never full up while the engine is running.

Edit: I only put $20 worth of gas until i got to a better/cheaper gas station.

 

I wasn’t feeling the hook that came on the Smittybilt x20, so I put my angle grinder to use and replaced the hook with a flatlink.

No more hook dangling around. No more bow shackle hanging off the front asking to be stolen. More protection for the synthetic rope from UV and other elements. Also adds a little color up front.

 

Blacked out rims, "deleted" roof rails, installed moon roof wind deflector, door rain guards... now need to get rid of Raptor steps, not a fan.

Oh Kevin Kevin Kevin
What are.we.gonna do with ya?

Guilty here too done it on occasion

 

I installed 1" front spacers to level the truck a bit, and I scored a box that will go on the roof rack [when I get the cross bars from LFD] I think I will install the Tred boards on the lid of it so I can take it on/off as 1 unit as I transition from DD to camping/travel.


The box is a Pelican copy from Harbor Freight they are on sale right now for 119
I was there to get parts cleaning solution because I'm servicing my Warn M8000 winch in preparation to purchase and install a bumper .
I'll likely get a C4 with hoop

 

Good LORD, I start sweating at 15 miles left!

 

I do it all the time, just like $5 or $10 at a time. Doesn't seem to care.

 

100% agree, and it kinda scares me when I see it done in other countries that offer full service. Customer pulls up, engine running, and stays in the car.

 

By other countries dyou mean jersey?
LMBO

 

It costs what it costs as long as i can drive my "prius" LMBO

 

lol, really? Are other states doing this also? I've only seen it done in southeast Asia

 

I try not to let it get below 1/4 tank. I only let it get this low for the recall. A little lower than I planned for though. I tried to put a little trust in Google maps to give me a direct route, but I got a tour of the city instead.

I dropped it off with the dealer with 5 miles left. I picked it up with 1. I was starting to worry on my way to the gas station.

 

Yeppers
It's illegal to pump in Jersey not sure if its everywhere but being from TEXAS I didn't think it was a big deal until Amboy PD tied to ticket me

 

More mini improvements. Swapped out all interior and exterior white lights for LEDs (side-by-side shown, huge improvement), finished my plasti-dip experiments on the back garnish, and leather wrapped a peeling steering wheel.

 

Just be careful if you drill the Top of that box to mount the traction pads because your box will no longer be waterproof.

 

Looks good

 

Rubber gaskets?

 

Finally getting a chance to work on my sleeping platform/organizer

 

Got to bring my beast back home today! Eibach pro-truck shocks at all four corners with Wheeler's T1 coils in the front, Dirt King UCA's, and Eibach coils in the rear. I didn't mind the stock suspension at all, but, I am absolutely amazed at how much smoother the ride is now!

Before lift:

After:

 

Very good. I think I might check out my local harbor freight for one of those boxes

 

Damn nice. I need to get rear coils for mine a bit heavier spring I think

 

Thanks! They are stock size General Grabber ATX.

 

People from NJ can't be trusted to make left turns. You think they can be trusted to pump gas?

 

When I started going to car shows, we had a couple people show up from NJ. I remember teaching one of them how to pump their own gas.

I've driven as far North as Toronto and as far South as Florida. At least on the east coast, NJ definitely has the worst drivers.
