The RCI skids make the originals look like tinfoil! These new skids are 10 gauge steel and are hefty! I ran RCI products on my 4Runner and have no doubt in their ability to perform!
Cleaned up the engine bay a bit. Installed the billet dressup cap kit from Fathouse Performance as well as their aluminum coolant tank. Also installed the JLT catch can I've had lying around for awhile.
Had the rear diff completely rebuilt yesterday. New bearings, gears and seals. The differential shop said the carrier bearing was near gone allowing the gears to move side to side. I didn't realize how much noise it was producing until I had it repaired. Truck is near silent now. The shop...
Installed new SDHQ Kevlar brake lines front and back. Leaps and bounds nicer than the stock rubber lines.

Installed the Full Race cooling kit. The kit comes with a radiator and intercooler. Their radiator is almost twice as thick as stock!
Also did their transmission cooler which like the radiator, is larger.
While I had all this out of the truck, it was a great time to install the SPD 180°...
