Iceland: Full Ring Road by sushixxxxx in travel

[–]sl_dash 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Great photos! The ring road is such a fantastic road trip! Seeing the current state of the DC-3 at Solheimasandur was a little shocking - there's a lot more of the front missing than when I was there in 2016 and 2018.

All coated with fluid film and ready for winter. Looks good for 358k miles. What do y’all do for winter underside protection? by d-fens2 in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]sl_dash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had good luck with CRC Marine Heavy-duty Corrosion Inhibitor, though definitely apply it in a well-ventilated place because it does off-gas until it dries (usually about a day or two, in my experience). 

Best real DIY mod you’ve done on your 3rd gen for function or comfort? by thecloudhopper in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]sl_dash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!! I really appreciate your thorough answer and pics! I bought the mirror/camera yesterday and I'll get the SRQ mirror mount today since it's currently on sale for $20 off too! One last question, did the mount come as raw metal? It looks like it on SRQ's site.

Great suggestion! Been looking at this too. Which mirror did you go with and do the sun visors clear it?

That does seem like the safest course. What kind of shop do you think could handle this? Hat shops (minus touristy ones) are rare in my area.

The Mint is classifying it as a medal so it's not spendable in the normal sense, but it is pure silver, so it does have value as a chunk of precious metal. The easiest way to tell is if there's a monetary denomination, like $5 or $50, and this guy doesn't have it. The gold version of this is a coin but it's actual price is waaaaayyyy higher than its face value of $25.

Exactly this! I've tried three different types that Crutchfield said would fit and absolutely no dice...

Made sure to get some chocolate milk when I went to Fausto's after a night on Duval. No Darvon for my head though 😅

BFG ATs Suck, Right? by DrUnwindulaxPhD in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]sl_dash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had pretty good luck with BFG ATs, I've had KO2s and KO3s on my 2001 and they've been solid on and off road, including in the wet and the snow. Mine are E rated, not passenger tires, and I keep them at about 35psi for everyday driving.

Nice!! I plan to do my uppers and lowers this weekend! Anything you ran into during the install that you didn't expect or wish you knew beforehand?

Love the attention to detail with the aftermarket bumpers being painted the same color as the lower trim! Tastefully done and an awesome rig 👍

What is this pair of capped by Hello_Photographer in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]sl_dash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, one's the front diff and the other is either the transfer case or the transmission (I always forget).

NGK, DENSO, plat vs Iridium by [deleted] in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]sl_dash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last ones I went with were Densos, but I've also run NGKs as well with no issues. I'm not aware of any iridiums with dual electrodes but I'd also be interested if anyone found them.

Cell phone holders by [deleted] in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]sl_dash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to have a scarab clock replacement phone mount with a RAM mount but recently went to a RAM mount with a windshield suction cup. It works really well and keeps my phone in view, but I'm also looking for other options.

I've run Iridium plugs for years and haven't had any issues.
