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

Installed the CaliRaised Cat Shields...feel much better now!

 

Changed the rear differential and transfer case fluid. Both were very easy to do. Rear differential took 3qt of fluid and still didn't dribble out, but I figured it had to be enough. Transfer case right at 1.1qt. Took it for a quick drive and no leaks.

I'll do the front differential once I get the Lexus drain plug with the 14mm bolt head on it since the 10mm hex bolt is notorious for being difficult.

Fluids are Redline 75W85 for diff and Redline MTLV for transfer case.

 

Lol, I remember your photos from the incident. You know what you need? A hood rack!

 

These are guaranteed to give me an additional 2HP, right? I was looking at my wheels the other day and noticed I had CHROME valve stem caps *gasp*!

So I bought these:

 

Those of us that live in the rust belt cannot have nice sh!t like that. The salt corrodes the metal and bonds it to the valve stem. Have a friend that was warned by the tire shop that he may regret using the cool valve stem caps. It took a channel locks, pliers, and some muscle to get them all off. Buggered up the threads, too. Lesson learned. We only use plastic caps now.

 

I never even thought about that, but it makes perfect sense. I just wanted to get rid of the chrome, and Amazon had these for $8.99 I love how the listing states "For men & women". WTF? We have gender specific car accessories now?

 

Hate to admit it but I'm kinda diggin' those.
Plus the 2 HP right?

 

Yup. A guy who parks in the same parking garage as me parked his TRD Bro trim level next to me today. Tomorrow, I get to flex on him with THESE pimped out caps.
