Wow! Is that a massive hill that just appears flat due to the camera wide-angle? Looks like gravity-caused to me. Elevation changes seem to disappear with most pictures, more so I imagine with dash cams. It can all go sideways in a second!

 

agreed if its not harnessed in

 

I've used the Arclight "fuse" and AGM for 2-3 years without issues. It works great. Another benefit is that it raises the voltage above the "smart alternator" thresholds used by DC-DC chargers (Redarc, CTEK, etc) such that you don't need to run a separate wire to the fusebox to trigger house battery charging when using one of these chargers.

 

Thanks for the link. Cool.

 

Some folks have used bed liner paint, but Rustoleum is a good choice, too. Thanks for sharing.

 

I had mentioned it had a different color, "brown." A lot of the reviews also listed the color purchased as brown. Brown is out of stock right now, maybe it was a weird clearance thing or maybe somebody made a mistake, but keep an eye on it and look for the color brown option.

As time has gone on, it's a lot slower than plugging the phone in. I just wanted to go wireless.

 

Acetone evaporates pretty quickly and it was used to clear off the marring on the finish.

I was most impressed with the fact that the graphene coating is still pretty much there minus some of the gouging. Fortunately, I don't have to buff any paint down. I'm a big believer in leaving full thickness on and that is a big issue with these ceramic and graphene coating places, they want a good mechanical bond and they do that by grinding the top layer of clear coat.

 

Same goes for putting your feet on the dashboard. It didn't take some doctor to make me think about that, it's something about science and physics and physiology.

The sad thing is I saw an unrestrained dog in the back of a truck yesterday. People just don't think...

 

dropped it off for the 100k maintenance and bilstein 5160s for the rear.

 

My new (to me) 4runner still has the factory tires on it. Picked up a brand new set of Yokohama G015s mounted on TRD wheels I found on craigslist. Scored a killer deal. Excited to put them on once my black lugs come in.

 

I have used geolanders since I had my suburban back in the day. Absolutely recommend these, you will like them.

 

Good to hear. They weren't on my short list for new tire options, but after finding this deal I looked them up. Haven't seen anything negative about them. After I read the reviews, I couldn't pass up four new tires mounted to four new wheels for $1200.

 

What's the date code on the tires? If you got them secondhand, you'll be able to tell how old or new they are.

 

I have them same ones and they haven't fallen out on me in the few months I've had them. Must admit though, the storage space is pretty small as they're pretty thick plastic, but sturdy.

 

Renewed the tags, nothing fun or exciting.

 

2322 - so just a year and a half old.

 

Long ways away, hopefully, but wondering why this is difficult? Worked on Hondas and Highlander before and they were not that bad.

 

Drove the SR5 to work then drove 'er home! Smiled both ways!

 

Nice! I wish my shop gave me a couple Bilstein option choices, I din know enough then.
Let us know how you like em

Anyone know, Can I get more than 5 years out of 5100's with moderate use and low miles?? I've heard average life of aftermarket struts can be 5 years. I'm assuming springs last longer.

 

Some cheap Amazon led backup lights.

 

Installed LED sidemarker lights. Added more patches to the interior.

 

Trying to convince Discount Tire to take my KO2s back, and give me KM3s. Wish me luck

 

What was wrong with the KO2s?

 

goodluck!
from KOpoo's to KMpee's, eh
jk, KM3's look pretty badass, beefy side wall treads

Disappointing in mud

 

Nothing wrong



..as long as you live in a desert without rain & snow

 

Brian is mocking us miserables from the sunny Nevada

 

Here's the dealership receipt
How bad did they molest me up here in Canada?
(I need to learn how to change my own fluids and bleed brake lines or whatever lol)

 

Does not look horrible.
Last supper we had to have a new front brake line put on our Cherokee during a road trip to Prince Edward Island(pre 4Runner)
I was expecting a thousand dollar job.
It cost me more for the rental car the two days they had the jeep than the cost of the repair.
$50CAD part and $80 labor at jeep dealer.
I'd say you guys have it good up there when it comes to labor.
