-reinstall my CVs

next 6 months:

much later in life:

I am intrested in seeing what you guys (and gal) have planned for your 4runners or trucks...

Still working on a set of Lightforce 240's. Hopefully this winter it will happen.

When it's time for new tires I'll be getting BJ spacers and coil spacers and heading up to 33's.

Other than that... I'm still done modding Focusing on maintenance and detailing from now on.

I didn't know there was a character limit...

New Radiator for mine
General maintence (flush tranny and put new transfer/diff fluids in
Extended differentail breathers
new brakes/rotors

Want to get it to the point that I might be able to drive it down to florida for next season instead of paying for another vehicle down here.

It SHOULD be to send my valve body out to IPT to get rid of the 1st->2nd slipping I have, but I'll probably be silly and add a methanol misting system first.
