Waiting to see the lift and tires
That's going to have to wait a little while for my wallet to recover from all the maintenance I've been getting it caught up on. Even doing everything yourself can get costly Haha. Might have to end up paying someone else to fix the ac though. Lucky it's been spring break.

Welcome to yotatech. Very clean 2nd gen. I like the black grill and the bumper. KelvinB also did the ammo can console but honestly i like the factory one. If you need some rear lift i have coil spacers not being used that i beleive will fit your style of 4runner??

Thanks dude! But I don't know how I feel about coil spacers, I think I'm going to wait until I have more money and get an OME set or something. If the stock center console had more space I would have kept it, but with that heater in there, I only had space for something the size of my wallet and some pens.

4Runner's looking nice!

I gotta ask though, have you gotten rid of your OEM console? Because I'd be interested in putting that in my truck!

Replaced my fuel pressure regulator, smelt gas in the vaccum line (like diafram was leaking a little) and the tips of my few hundred mile spark plugs were black. So hopefully I'll be getting a little better fuel economy.

This weekend I plan on combining my parking lights with my turn signals

Got my parking lights and turn lights combined together finally, the led turn signals I had weren't bright enough for me. Basically followed the guide from 4crawler.com using 1157 bulbs, some moldable stuff that gets hard, and a socket for the bulbs.

Nice, man. Hey text me your number. I got a new phone (which I'll likely not keep and end up needing your number again anyway).

x2 on the Jungle flares mentioned above. Best option IMO. It's what I plan on going with after fixing things that actually matter first. Prioritize, yo. haha

I think I would put in a locker before fender flares, they are about the same money and would be more handy. But one day, I'll probably get around to that

I'm still thinking that a TrueTrac LSD might be better suited for my application than an ARB Locker simply because I spend more time on ice and snow than rocks or anything steep. Let's be real, this is flat, snow country.

or a open rear and a lunchbox in the front. It pulls the front around better in the snow and still allows slip in the rear to avoid spinout if that makes sense.

It only engages if your in 4wd. U have auto hubs right? As long as my hubs are unlocked its all good.

manual hubs, and I'm mostly in 4WD for snow and ice. I can just see it now. Accelerating through a turn on snow/ice in 4x4 and careening into a schoolbus full of children or something haha not that bad, but they don't behave well enough for a dd for me.

It doesn't effect anything when the hubs are unlocked and you're in 2wd. But when you lock the hubs and engage 4wd its there. As far as hubs locked and 4wd not yet engaged, I'm pretty sure it's still there once you lock the hubs but my brain is lapsing atm haha

Either way it's a no go for me, I'm in 4wd on city roads on ice too often.
