I have collected parts for my 4runner recently! New end caps for my frame rails to attach my winch bumper, new uniballs for my uca's, a new winch and a piece of 2" box tube to replace my thick walled 2" in my receiver! Next step... find a welder, torch and press to install new parts then send the bumpers and sliders to get a fresh powder coat. Hoping to be able to get into some tougher stuff this summer!

Finally finished and painted the rear bumper and tiregate. From my concept drawing to reality. Huge shutout to thehoneybadger for the welding expertise.

new hat

Busy week doing some improvements. Took off the fuel saver/racing fairings from the hood and sunroof. Then removed the roof rack…got away lucky with only getting schooled by 1 spinning nutsert. No rust under the feet but oxidation is getting pretty bad. Then installed a rack from Bowfin Cruisers. Very happy with his build quality and ease of installation. I planned on (only*) getting a lift this year but the rack snuck on the list and somehow made it to the front of the line.

Gave the 81 a refresh over the last few weekends. Replaced the leaky turbo with this unit from a company in the Netherlands. Spools at lower RPMs and should help me get up 70 with a little more gusto. Also had the IP rebuilt to match new injectors.

We drove the Sequoia to Montana to pick up our new Boxer pup, and along the way there somewhere in Wyoming, the air bags in the rear suspension lost air. Drove to Billings for the night, and on to Helena to get the pup the next day. Weather wasn't cooperating to crawl under to try to diagnose...so headed back home to Denver riding on bumpstops.

Checking today, I had to jack the rear high to get room under to look at anything. Discovered the nut from the height sensor had come off, and the sensor linkage had disconnected from the axle. The sensor had shaken down to tell the computer the rear was elevated...Computer in turn started releasing air to let the rear come down to the "Neutral" position.

It was a ridged ride home to say the least, but today reconnected the height sensor instantly waking up the compressor bringing the rear suspension back to life...

Cost of the repair was about $.40 the cost of a 6mm nut.

Nice work. Wonder what a shop would have diagnosed and charged?
