    Thank god for this 4Runner or I would be losing my mind. Took the rust out of the bumper and painted it. Fixed the fog lights. Going to have to replace the turn signal lights as well, sockets are basically brittle. Winch arrives today. I may be broke once this all blows over but at least I will still be sane lol.

    Nice work. I also have the “clunk” on my “new” 04 Limited. Can you point me towards info on the cause and your solution? That would be awesome! Also just switched out my old pink taillights for those same ‘06s. So much happier with them

    After 243k miles it was time to replace the valve cover gaskets. While I was there I decided to do some cleaning and painting.

    Well it took off and on a year to complete but it is finished and installed this grill. All fabrication and paint work done by me. I think it looks so much better.

    Shiny new front passenger wheel bearing to replace the growling wobbly one that was on there.

    I installed Rad Rubber Design engine splash guards. I really like them. They are so thick but flexible.

    I found why my AC pump bolt was weird. Broke in half.
    I’m engine swapping. 142k and the timing chain bombed.

    Adapted a phone mount idea that Lawndart described on Instagram recently. Much more sturdy than the Scosche Magic Mount I was using; you can see the old mount on the dash still.

    Finally got around to installing my Overland Equipped fuse block bracket with block, circuit breaker, etc. Had to chop up the leg a bit to clear the brake lines.

    OMG mine stank so bad too. I went to visit my parents after having them just sitting in the back of my car for a few days and my mom asked if I'd taken up smoking.

    Replaced both lower control arms. Converted Xreas to regular suspension using Bilstien shocks and FJ cruiser springs. Next is new fender liners and locking rear differential.
