Took a short trip up to the foothills this last Friday, which was a really nice day (60s in January?)

Anyways, found this and had to do it:





That's with all the sway bars attached. Yes, that right rear is slightly off the ground. Not bad!


A short bit later I tried a different rock and it fought me. The steering was off-centered after that, so I took it in today to get that checked out.



Oops. Time to get an alignment!

do you have to run hub rings with those wheels or just different lug nuts

-$60 MIR

$392

Brings me right back to the price of just the wheels, so basically got free lugs and install.

But oh man, these things stick out far. If I didn't have the fender flares... I can't even imagine.





And the rubbing. It's bad...
Time to spend this weekend chopping everything!

Just lugs. I've even got my spacers on there still.

Just a quick update I thought I'd share with you guys:

Committed to Colorado State University the other day, studying mechanical engineering!

Moving up to Fort Collins sometime in August, where I'll probably be spending the next few years!





Anyways, since every major post in my build thread had a picture:

Bought this yesterday, an Addicted Offroad front plate bumper!




Soooooo excited for this. It's going to be about a month before I have it, but the wait should be worth it!

Summer is coming quick, which means I've got a lot of work to do!

I'm planning the following for this summer:
Rock Therapy (May 27-31)
Colorado Toyota Meet (June 21)
Moab Trip (July 26 - August 2)
Colorado Toyota Jamboree (August 7-9)


Before all of that actually happens, here's what I'm planning to get done:
- Front bumper (paint + mount), should be here before mid-May.
- Repaint rear bumper and CB mount (look at picture below)
- Decide between swingout/back/roof rack and then make/buy that
- Absolutely need a winch before the Jamboree
- Sliders are also very necessary
- Trim fenders? Inside, when the tires flex with the spacers, it hits right on the edge of the fender behind the flares


Maintenance items that need attention:
- Steering rack is still leaking. Probably needs to be replaced sometime..
- Hood flexes at the mounting bracket now. Reinforce if possible, otherwise sport hood
- Unsure if my CB is working/grounded/tuned correctly. Only been able to test with one person (who's CB is also questionable) and it didn't work very well
- Looks like one of my CVs might have a tiny rip. Just gotta make sure it doesn't get any bigger..


Here's what this winter did to my bumper:



A poor picture but it's still pretty visible. The paint is really starting to go quickly now, but it's 100% expected as it was simply primered and sprayed, nothing fancy. Just need to grind it off, paint, and repeat every few months!


So yeah, expect some bigger things to come in the next month or two. Can't wait for all of these exciting events!

There's about to be some big big changes coming today/tomorrow! Today the back of my 4Runner got stuffed with some new things!



Unfortunately it's been raining most of the day, but for now I've turned my garage into a paint booth and have been working outside.
I want it on!!
