This is why I'm not allowed to have nice things... One trip out to the trails and these aging axles took a shit... BOTH of them, lol. I think with having a ~3" lift up front it's time I get some of those sweet CVJ axles I keep hearing so much about. Gave the tires a jiggle and the bearings...

Thanks! It took me a hot second to research and make sure that I was getting myself into the right rig for what I wanted to get out of 4x4ing and I have been nothing short of ecstatic this entire build!

Thanks! It'd be even nicer if I didn't back into trees while trying to get out of people's way on the trail, lol.

Sorry for the post dump! I'm copying from my build thread on the 4Runner forum, lol. Fiffa's "Get Lost" Build

Finally took her out for a proper shake-down! Me and the dog went to Tillamook OHV to start learning how the 4Runner handles amidst the roots and rocks. I'm glad that I waited until everything in the suspension was at a stopping point because I was not ready for the classification levels they...

The front did end up settling to ~38" after the alignment and some spirited maneuvers on the way home from the shop, which gives me a stance that I am more than happy with! No more rubbing with the 33's and no pinchweld modding!

Changed out the lower trailing arms for some big boy Rokmens... Also put some Strongflex bushings in the panhard bar and re-installed in the lowest setting of the drop kit (was in the middle for the previous lift that was 1.5" lower). Have some more to put in the upper trailing arms tonight...

I'll never get tired of wrenching on this thing, but I'm really losing my patience for not having my own garage where I can do tedious projects at my leisure, lol! Yet another "shouldn't take this long, but it is" weekend project: LCA bushings. I mostly followed the "Part 1" guide from Timmy on...

External trans cooler done! I opted for the Hayden 678 cooler and it has worked great on the 30-minute drive I've taken so far! Hills that use to put the temps into the low 200's are now barely getting to 165°F. I'm going to test it on the trails this weekend, but if the first drive was any...

You don't even want to see my to-do list!

Thanks! It's been an interesting reintroduction into the modding world, but really fun. It's nice that most of what's getting done actually serves a purpose, lol.

A few more pics to give you an idea of how the overland side of things are coming along... And a obligatory (although weak) flex pic...

Yo! I've been lurking on here for the past year since getting my '00 Limited after moving to the PNW. I've been slacking pretty bad with getting this thread going and I suck at remembering to take pics of what I've been doing, but my documentation more than makes up for it, lol. I got her a...

How she's sitting as of this week. Gonna try these Wildpeak AT3/W's out on the trail shortly!

My dude, Finn, would rather just live outside, lol.

Alrighty, a privy tent and bush toilet are a go! She's not too girly, but she's a little timid/anxious about unknowns, which boondocking is one of them. Lolo has a nice tent with an included shower bag, so here's to putting this stuff to use soon! Thanks, again, everyone!

She's just looking for a toilet more than anything. I think if I present the option that old_man suggested the right way then we should be good with the places I normally go to. We have plenty of water storage for everything, so her biggest issue is privacy for the privy and one that doesn't...

I was nervous to bring up the idea of our own crapper, but it's worth a shot! Thanks!

Hey all! So, my girl has finally decided to get into the camping life with me, but there is one initial condition which she has laid out that is making it difficult for me to find options that will make us both content (for how simple of a request it is)... We're using an ARB awning tent off...

Will do! Are you open to altering the pictured version (i.e. stacked drawers on one side and a single on the other)?
