Nice! I have 18x9 aftermarket wheels and went with 275/65-18 which are a hair over 32". Didn't really see any negative difference in mileage even though they're a little bit heavier.

Coastin to a Coastal

Almost finished with all the welding on my Coastal Off-Road rear bumper. Admittedly, it was a pretty ambitious project seeing how I've literally never welded a thing before yesterday. Lots of hours of YouTube and I'm feeling pretty damn good. Sure, some of the welds were a little ugly but they are strong. That's what an angle grinder and flap wheel are for anyways. I did lay down some good looking welds on the inside that surprised me, so I've got that going for me.

I've only had to grind in a couple spots so far due to fitment issues, and that's entirely on me. Some of these plates are quite heavy to hold with one hand and tack with the other. I bought one of those handy welding magnets, and it's been useful on more than a few pieces. There's some spots it just can't be used though.

Tomorrow I'll finish the welding, and make sure the inside of the bumper that won't be accessible once the last piece is welded on gets a good coating of paint to protect from any rust in the future.

I need to do the swing arm as well. I'm a bit nervous as far as getting everything lined up, but there's a good amount of room for adjustment. I will be meticulous and take my time, it usually serves me well.

All in all, it's been a really fun experience and I'm getting a sweet bumper out of it. With the group buy price, it's almost $2,000 less than going with a CBI. I'll be posting pics once I'm all finished!

Mines on the way, and like you, I have never touched a welder. I will also be taking a leap of faith lol. I’ll keep an eye out for your pics.

Did a transmission drain/fill! Had done one a bit ago after overheating my fluid, so decided it was time to do another to get more of the bad stuff out. (and was able to find Type-IV fluid on Amazon for $6.50/qt!! It's $10-$12/qt everywhere else)

Glad I did. It wasn't as burnt-smelling as last time, but it was still pretty much brown. Gonna do one or two more after a while to hopefully flush the rest of the bad fluid out.

Ive never used the radio because i have an aftermarket bluetooth adapter. Its left on AUX and I just use the steering wheel controls. I wanted a screen for the radio but couldn't justify 500-800 for a Double Din with Apple Play. I wanted the abilities to use my offline terrain maps as i Use the 4runner for hunting and going out to places with no signal. My solution was purchasing a Used Ipad Mini 3 with cellular capability for $175 and custom making a solid mount. I looked at every option for Ipad mounting and none of them seemed good to me. The vent/CD/ Magnet options were all too unstable for when I go offroad. The Ram mounts and window mounts were solid but took up passenger room or window space. This was my solution. You do have to permanently alter the center trim piece but I keep vehicles until 250k+ so this wont change the value at that point. I am beyond pleased with the outcome. The Ipad is removable and the USB is hard wired to the factory fuses. So now I have a complete Navigation/ Music setup as well as an Ipad I can take when I get to my Destination. Let me know if this interests anyone and Il try to list the parts used. This this is SOLID and does not budge.
This is really cool, i like it! Could you list the parts used?

Thanks

Replaced the rear window seal in about 5 minutes. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DZL70VM/

Added this 2 port USB to the left of the steering column. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01515T9Q4/

I ran a primary wire from this to the back of the cigarette lighter. I tried a fuse tap on the accessory and that gave me positive, but I couldn't get a good ground around there. I may have been able to if I spent more time, but I wasn't a fan of the fuse tap anyway, and this is working fine.

I use this USB charge for my newly mounted ram mount. It seems like it's way in your face, but I am really pleased and it isn't adding a lot of blind spot.

Here are the parts for the ram mount

Took the running boards off our newly acquired gen 3 limited... like a free lift! At least from an appearance standpoint

Thanks for posting this. When I saw this post with pics attached, I ordered a set for myself since mine were completed gone as well. These are high quality rubber, better than OEM. Very satisfied.

9 hour drive to Blue Ridge Area for some outdoor rafting. Mind you, bought my wife a new car 2 weeks ago, but in her words “let’s take the 4Runner because it is reliable!!”
