Do you think before you speak/type?
No, he just let off the accelerator and the truck went sideways on him. Crazy. Should probably turn the idle down a bit.

I don't know what all of this thread is about. Painting an engine cover is the type of modification I see in Mexico though. Want me to get you a velvet painting of Abraxas to glue to the under side of your hood?

I have learned to hate their espresso with how burnt it tastes. Pretty much only go there for the convenience while traveling and needing some espresso cause I hate regular coffee. Found a local roaster in Charlotte as of late that I really like.

My Dad had a tree fall on his property and he offered me all the firewood, so we loaded up the back of my truck. The easiest way to get the wood to the back side of the house where my cradles and fire pit are is to 4 wheel it up the back side of my property. So you know I had to snap a pic while it was parked on the edge of my property



She looking good though

Only got a quick 5 minute mod done over the holiday weekend. This product just came out and I was excited to order it. The stock strap on the rear hatch is a bit too short, here's a before.



I was excited that someone came out with a longer one. For 20 bucks I figured anything would be an improvement since I usually reach for the handles in the hatch and not the strap.



I was a bit surprised to see that the strap wasn't much longer than stock, only about a half inch or so



It literally was a 30 second install, I can't even call it a 5 minute mod, but my God did it make a world of difference. I had hoped it would be a bit longer, but someone clearly put thought into the length and it makes a big difference. I was pleasantly surprised with it's functionality.

Got another small mod done, this thing has been sitting on my table since November (Black Friday sale) and I never got around to hacking up my stock key



Stock key before I hacked it up



You have to remove the key piece and the transponder



And here's a side by side of the stock key, nice little rugged shell and hopefully will help the buttons not trigger in my pocket so much. Did the blue screws to match the truck

Truck looks great.

I understand mods waiting to go in. I have had a full set of slotted rotors & pads, airbags & a compressor for the Tundra for almost a year.

My favorite thing about the 4Runner is that "vwoosh" when it starts!
