What did you do to your 6th Gen 4Runner today?? 👨🏻‍🔧 🧰 🛠

Gave her her first bath today to get the salt off. My wife made me meet her for a beer before I could get tire dressing on.

Found a good parking spot at least.

Finally got nice enough weather to install my Prinsu original roof rack

Cleaned the engine bay, which, after 19,000 miles, really wasn’t too dirty. Yes, I was bored this morning

How did you clean it ? Hose ? Rags ? ??

installed the Slee radiator cross-member reinforcement plate today. Installed forged tow hooks too while I was at it

2 hours and 50minutes from hood up to hood down. YouTube time included. Not hard but patience required.

Used WD-40 contact cleaner to clean the battery, terminals, and the Garmin Power Switch. Then covered that area and the air intake with a waterproof cloth. Sprayed degreaser around the rest of the compartment wherever there was built-up grime, let it sit for a few minutes, then wiped down with a damp rag. Rinsed everything down with pressure washer being careful to keep the sprayer a couple feet away and using a broad, sweeping motion. Used a leaf blower to get excess water out.

All in, probably 15 minutes of work.

Since I already had the front skid dropped to install the Slee radiator crossmember reinforcement, I went ahead and did my second oil change at 1,600 miles after lunch. While waiting for the oil to drain, installed the rear tow hook.

ARK Crash Bracket Delete and Front Fender Liner Tuck on TH.

Waiting on back orders for bumper, winch and rocker rails so trying to get the TH prepared for upgrades.

ARK Crash Bracket Delete cleaned up rear of front wheel well. Super easy with included instructions. Quality product - probably going to replace more of the OEM liner with their splash guards.

Front liner protruded 3/4 - 1” into wheel well. I was hitting it with full lock on the stock 265’s. Removed attaching bolt, drilled new hole in liner, tucked it and secured with 5/16 Flange Bolt and Lock Nut. Much cleaner now.

Installed heritage grill. Painted the letters to match OEM paint. What a PITA to do this lol. Taking off the bumper is easy, but the grill swap f*&@king sucks!

I live in fear that I’m not going to get it to fit back together right given the amount of plastic clips. All for one small grill. But I still have it on my to do list.
