So I did some more planned work on the 4Runner.

New lower ball joints, genuine Toyota (anything else is peeing into the wind)

Took the faux beadlock bolts out of the wheels, drilled the holes smooth and sanded , sanded, sanded. They are beat up pretty good but are acceptable now. New dark bronze metallic paint and matte clear simulate the color of the newer TRD wheels I see sometimes. Look great from 10’ 😅

My wife and her sister would bribe their brother with candy to shut the hell up when they hurt him while they were playing.

Mine has SPC adjustable upper control arms (which means high quality ball joints) so uppers we good but lowers were loose. Not as loose as I imagined but as we all know, when they separate it is catastrophic.

It came with the UCAs and Bilstein front struts with Sonoran Steel springs all around. It has Tacoma knuckles/CVs/hubs from a manual hub donor.

Sway bars are deleted. People get emotional about that but honestly the slight trade in cornering (snicker it’s a truck) is more than made up for in ride smoothness.

It’s my second factory E-locker 4runner so I was lucky twice.



My SIL has a Taco like yours, I love them all 🥰

How do you know what your SILs (sister in law) taco looks like?

And, who doesn't like tacos...?

I worked at a Kmart as a kid for a while. Until one night when I was working and a tornado destroyed the store with me in it!

I hate to burst your guys’ bubble but there’s nothing “free trade” about the us economy. Or the eu economy. And very little about the asian economy. All of this shit is manipulated in some way

True... but when we let other nations tariff our goods and don't do anything about theirs... then we get taken advantage of.

Free Trade is probably not the right term... though is the catch-all these days. Maybe more realistic is "reciprocal trade." Mirroring duties, tariffs, inspections, bans, etc.

AND recognizing that government-subsidized industries/slave labor/artificially-manipulated currencies like the Yuan, dumping, etc. deserve to be addressed as special cases.

Then again, we are, as a nation, addicted to spending money we don't have on shit we don't need from WalMart... Money that goes to arming China.

Whatever the case is... it ain't working as it is. And the American worker/taxpayer is getting screwed with taxes and devalued currency/mortgaged future. I don't have the 'right' answer. But doing what we've been doing since the '70's has gotten us ass-raped. So we need to do something else. Or the whole country is going to look like the industrial desert that is our former rustbelt....

I remember that storm.
Click to expand...

The one I really remember was the one that went through North Raleigh in Nov or Dec ‘88. My first experience with a Tornado. The skies at dusk were like nothing I ever saw. Dark purple/black. Air was so thick you almost had to swim through it.

88 and 89 had two big tornados and Hugo. Hugo was my first hurricane and we had a hurricane party in Fayetteville. It was a bit south and west of us… but it hit hard enough that i decided hurricanes were to be taken seriously and hurricane parties were a bad idea!!!

My first two years in NC were bad weather time! IIRC there was also a blizzard in early ‘89 in Raleigh. Bunch of us had tickets to see comedian Stephen Wright and drove up anyway to see him.

After Hugo I went to South Carolina with a group to offer aid. It was truly a devastating storm there.

I got volunteered to repair distribution powerlines in my state of North Carolina that were damaged by Hugo. We worked the rural areas near Albemarle. I specifically remember the name of one community, Frog Pond. :)

It's a wound that never heals.
The more ya rub it, the better it feels.
Ain't enough soap, this side of hell, to ever remove that codfish smell.

One day after my grandfather and grandmother had a disagreement about something, he told me that we were going fishing.

We sat on that little spring fed slough about 45 minutes to be hour catching big old bluegill.

He finally broke the silence and said

"When God was passing out brains, ours fell into the head of our dick, but because women have a gash, theirs fell smooth out!"

Sat in silence for another 30-40 minutes and he replied with

"God is a jokester, he gave men 2 heads and only enough blood to run one at a time."

In the 12-13yrs I lived with them, other than the cigarette caper, it was the only time I saw them cross with each other and both lasted half a day at best or until breakfast with the cigarette caper.
