For some reason, I can't get pics to load from this weekend. Here's some older pics of my rig though.

Very nice set-up! What front bumper/winch do you have? I just took this pic about 1hr ago of my new toy. I have a clean slate and I'm already itching to get a front bumper. I'm leaning towards C4fab slimline like the one pictured below. I'm new to this so I'll take all the advice I can get.
Thx, JohnSimply%20HDR_1548098446549.jpegScreenshot_2019-01-20-15-10-25.jpeg

Damn your rig is sweet. Yea, SSO products are nice too. They are definitely on the table. I have to then figure what winch to get....been reading up on them in forums. I have a long way to go so I just have to be patient I guess.

Thanks for the compliments guys! I'm enjoying it very much. It's not my daily driver, so it gets more dirt miles I think than road miles.

I installed RCI sliders and skid plates. CBI rear bumper and a Baja Rack. I'm getting it geared up for a big trip to the Maine backcountry this summer.

I feel you on the wait. Hard to be patient waiting to get it set up the way you want it!

Love the setup. I am wanting the same rear bumper. How long have you had it and what are your complaints if any?

Look forward to seeing posts later in the year of the Maine trip. The wife and I went to Maine for our honeymoon and loved it so much we are both itching to go back.

Thank you. I've had the CBI rear bumper for about 8 months. I really like it, for a few reasons. Biggest reason is I can carry a matching full size spare and it gets it out from under the vehicle. I also like being able to carry extra fuel, outside the vehicle. The fold down table is great while camping too. Much better departure angle also.

I'm trying to figure out how to ship my truck up to Maine for the summer, as opposed to driving up and back. I have family up there and would like to have it shipped to their house. Then I could just fly up and have my rig there for the backcountry trip. If anyone has any tips or info on vehicle shipping, please let me know....

I waited for a year and a half to decide on bumper and winch. The winch came down to how many times my winch might be used for the type of off road travel I do. I opted for a Smittybuilt. Even though Warn is known to be the best, I couldn't justify the cost.

Yea, I'm in the same situation. I'm just looking for something to have as a piece of mind. Smittybuilt will suit my needs just fine. [emoji106]

It's funny, because I haven't actually had to use my winch for any self recovery. The only thing I've gotten to use it for is winching fallen trees off the trail so we could get through and getting a buddy unstuck in his Chevy Colorado. :tearsofjoy:

Just ordered. Still do not have the 4Runner yet! Well the new one anyway. Next will be ARB Breather kit and on board compressor. “I think!” Tooooo much to do!
I bet the wait is killing you, lol. Like I said before, mine was at port for just a couple days. I'm suprised the dealership can't get you a more specific time. Post a few pics here after you get it. Also when you get your sliders installed!
