@Silverback would appreciate if you remove the sticker from the rear door.

Craig/HomerTaco is a moderator over at TW though, isn't he? I've never met him, but seems like a nice guy from what I've ready.

lol yeah he is a vendor over there he builds grills off all sorts mostly for 2nd gens, but he's done a few 1st gens and 4runners. Super nice and telented fellow, he made my tacoma grille and the one for my f350 as well.

Easy. Drill a hole and pour it in.

Thought about that; then welding the hole shut.

But really. Can you pour a small amount into the carb?

I think the best way would be to suck it into the brake booster vacuum hose.

Ordered new suspension for my wife's 4Runner. She's kind of pissed that I would even consider, and doesn't believe me that I actually ordered it. FedEx is supposed to drop it off today.

Just in time for Mothers Day around the corner. What did you go with?

Don't talk about Bob like that. You'll hurt Brian's feelings.

I'm sure Brian knows I think his recovery points will kill someone.

It's the Trail Team upgrade for the FJ. I guess Toyota is clearing out inventory since the FJ is no more. Retails for $1650, I got it for $500 + $50 for shipping. Bilstein 6112 2.5" front shocks with 600lb coils and 5160 remote resi rears.

Also, my wife had an "incident" Friday with the corporate parking garage. She's worked there 8 years and the gate has always just stayed open when it was time for everyone to leave. Well, it decided to close on her....twice...as she was leaving Friday. It resulted in a few scratches and a missing roof rail end cap. So we decided to bust out the Meguirs Ultimate Polish and Gold Class wax.

Received, primed and painted the C4 Fab dual battery tray for the 4Runner. It will get installed either tonight or tomorrow.
How does it look? Mine is still unopened in the garage. I probably should install it so it does not get mixed in with the moving boxes.

Looks good! I had my doubts about the sturdiness of it compared to the Shrockworks option since the Shrock goes in an area that they claim to be reinforced from the factory. It's pretty stout, and I have no qualm with installing it in the location. I only painted the tray. According to their instructions, one should also paint (or powdercoat) the L bracket and battery tie down plate. Hopefully, I can get those painted today and install everything tomorrow.

I also had to look online for instructions since none were included in the box. Straight forward, but they answer a couple of questions for things that I was a little unsure about.
