    Visited a friend in the Salinas Valley who conveniently lives in a field Then got to pull out my buddy's truck when he unfortunately lost momentum in the sandy gravel in a weird spot and sunk her 4L, locker on, a quick tug, and she was out Today was good, I learned some things. In the...

    I will see if I can swing down there on my way to Salinas this weekend. Maybe I can convince my buddy and his Rubicon to join...

    Thanks all! I don't think I will see the light at the end of the tunnel for a while, but I might get some LED lights that will make the tunnel brighter :)

    I started with one in my work truck for navigation here in the lovely congested Bay Area. It's become a part of my driving routine, so it was a must add in the 4Runner. It works very well and is rock solid!

    No plates yet. Buying out of state delays the registration process/getting plates. I set an appointment as late as possible hoping my custom plates would have arrived so I don't need to spend any more time at the DMV than required, ha!

    I finally got a chance today to get the Coopers a bit dirty. I headed north on HWY 101 out of Santa Barbara to connect with West Camino Cielo Road thru the Refugio road entrance.

    I had a set of Coopers installed yesterday. I have the same set on my work truck, and have really liked them. I have 33k miles on them on the work truck with 9/32" remaining out of the original 18.5/32". Not bad for a full size GMC truck that tows a few times a week. Needless to say, I was...

    I followed a bit of guidance from balistikboy's [t4r.org] RAM mount addition [ http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/175655-balistikboy-14-toyota-4runner-trail-premium-build-thread.html#post1779403 ] and added my own. Removing the panel was easy but nerve racking because this was the first...

    I picked this piece up from bhicks22 [t4r.org] on his website: Products | BH3D Printing Fought for a while on where to put it, and settled on the lift gate, passenger side, FJ40 style. Backed with 3M adhesive in CNC "channels" to make the emblem as flush as can be, this aluminum emblem is a well...

    Quick to add to the truck was this visor organizer from Blue Ridge Overland Gear. It has Molle paneling on one side, velcro on the other and a zipped compartment for vehicle documents, cash, etc. The velcro works perfectly with their pouches they sell, which I am soon to order for being able to...

    When you bring the new truck home, and the lift gate doesn't clear the overhang... Custom limiting strap, installed. Uses a Nite-Ize CamJam XT on the d-ring in the corner, and a carabiner attached to the lift gate strap. Function>Form

    A closer look at the 1up rack I have for my bike. I have really liked this rack since I got it earlier this year. Very functional, simple and well built. I would highly recommend it to anyone in the market. I have the single, and one add on that I use as needed. The single makes parking easy...

    So far I can say that it is very capable and comfortable! Might be a while before your Jeep dies, but I would recommend you take a look at the 4Runner!

    I was on the Tacoma path originally, but like you said, the 4Runner made me weak in the knees whenever I saw one. Knew I had to have one! I will keep updating as often as I can!

    That is what I was looking at originally. But I have heard about issues with shocks needing to be rebuilt frequently. Everything else, UCA's/Rear links/coils, I have heard are solid. I might end up piecing together a Frankenstein suspension system with some ICON some Old Man Emu, etc.

    Thanks! It has been a lot of fun so far, with many more good times and adventures to come! I am undecided with the specific set up, but something in the 2"-3" range. Many on T4R have the ICON setup, which is great, but with OME coming out with their bypass coilovers/shocks, I will definitely...

    Things are noticeably more fun in thin air. It's where I tend to go to get away from everything. To help get me there, I picked up a 2016 4Runner Trail Premium on a recent trip to Bend, OR. I hadn't intended on buying a truck on the trip, but when the numbers add up sometimes its best to pull...
