YETIX Build and Adventure Thread aka Travels with Savanna

This was “Hank” (daughter’s nickname), the day I got him, December 16, 2016. Completely stock 2006 Sport Edition 4WD with the 4.0L V6. It had 167,202 miles when I traded in my 2WD for it.


As it sits today (December 29, 2018 w 213,272 miles)





For years, I was into off-road motorcycle camping trips, aka Adventure Riding. I went though a bunch of bikes and built all of them up only to sell them and start over, as my wife will tell you, eventually ending up with this beast, a 2005.5 KTM 950 Adventure “S.”


In 2015, a lifetime of having fun (read: US Marines, football, lacrosse, surfing, climbing, riding dirt bikes, etc.) caught up with me and my right leg stopped working properly. I’d been having issues, but I got out of the water one morning after surfing and, as I was taking off my wetsuit, I realized I could not lift my right foot off the ground. Turned out I had severe issues with my neck, to the point where my spinal cord was dying. After one last motorcycle trip (a very, very mellow one), I had surgery at the end of May of 2015, a C3-C7 laminectomy with fusion. With that came the end of motorcycle trips for me as my leg has not fully recovered to the point where I feel comfortable on a bike off road.


I wasn’t ready to give up the outdoors and wanted a vehicle to get me there so I made an impulse buy and bought this 2006 Sport Edition 2WD.


I enjoyed it and used it for a few trips, but quickly realized I needed 4WD to go where I wanted to go. After about a year, the stars lined up, and I was able to trade in the 2WD for my current 4Runner and $h!t got real . . .

This forum has been a huge help to me over the years in building and encouraging me to get out and have adventures, so I hope I can give back a bit with some of my modifications and encourage others to get out and have fun outdoors!

Very sorry to hear you can’t enjoy riding bikes anymore, but glad you made it through seemingly well! 🤙🏼 Its always a bummer not being able to do something you love anymore especially due to health, but you got the 4R nonetheless! YETIX Build and Adventure Thread aka Travels with Savanna

Looking forward to seeing more Yeti!

Thanks! The two things I can't really do any more that I used to love are riding dirt bikes and running. I can still run sort of, I just look like Frankenstein when I do it.

First Mod: Bluetooth Double DIN Stereo

The first priority for me was to install a Bluetooth stereo. I'm not an audiophile, I don't do amps or subwoofers, so if you're looking for that, you'll need to go elsewhere.

I drive a lot for work and have to be able to communicate with clients and my office, so a stereo with good Bluetooth is essential. I also like to stream music and podcasts from my phone to keep me from getting distracted. My other criteria were 1) the stereo had to double DIN so it would look stock-ish, 2) had to have multiple colors for the face, again because stock-ish, 3) needed to work with steering wheel controls, and 4) had to have enough power that it sounds at least decent.

I've bought multiple stereos from Crutchfield over the years because their customer service is great and they sell everything you need to install the stereo. In this case, I went with the Pioneer AVH-X2800BS and steering wheel kit. I cut all the wires in the harness and adapter kit and tinned them and wrapped them in color-matched heat shrink. (Sorry, no pictures)

I also removed the air bag on the steering wheel and installed the phone controls from a Limited. (I'll add more detail on this later)

The end result:





It sounds great, to me, and works flawlessly. #winning

Bilstein 5100's, FJ Coils, and Plastidipped Wheels

I knew that one of the first things I wanted to do was give the 4Runner a moderate lift, but didn't want to spend a ton of money until I had a better feel for what my ultimate needs were going to be. I've read enough threads on here from @LawnDart 's 2+ Long Travel suspension to everything else, that I knew from the outset the 5100's were not going to be the permanent suspension solution, but I wasn't sure how much more extreme I wanted to go.

I had installed the 5100's on the 2WD, so I knew they had limitations but would get the job done while I dithered about and made my mind up. With the help of my friend Miles (who will make an appearance shortly), who is an actual mechanic, we were able to quickly install the 5100's and FJ springs. We set the fronts on their second-from-highest setting and the truck came out pretty much perfectly level.

Before:



After:



A random picture from the installation:



Then I found a set of Sport Edition wheels on Craigslist and Plastidipped them black because black wheels rule. With that, we were set for our first adventure!

Thanks Ben. Looking forward to sharing some of the fun I've had over the past 1 1/2 years.

Mind sharing your current suspension setup?

Curious to see how you're liking the 6112's up front and the FJ coils in the rear.

I have the FJ trail TRD suspension (6112 & 5160), and went with dobinson 505 coils in the rear. Got about 2.75" of lift in the rear.

Currently, I have the 6112's up front set at max height. In the rear I have Icon 2.0 with remote reservoirs and the FJ coils. It sits pretty close to level, with the rear maybe 1/2" higher when it is empty. With my camping stuff in, it's pretty close to level.

I'll give a more in-depth review when I get there in this thread but the short version is that I do like this set up. My only complaint is that I wish the compression damping on the Icons was a little bit less harsh when empty. I could send the Icons in to have the valving re-done, but I'm leaning towards selling them and getting a set of 5160's. The FJ coils seem well matched to the springs in the 6112's.

Hope that answers your questions!

1st Time Offroading - Anza Borrego Jan 21, 2017

Aside from a couple of trips as a kid in my dad's International Harvester Scout II (Insignia Orange of course) which I barely remember, I had never driven off-road in a 4 wheeled vehicle. That needed to change, an quickly.

Two of my friends, Devin and Miles, both grew up off-roading in and around Anza Borrego State Park and they suggested it would be a good place to bust my cherry, so to speak. However, as Saturday approached, San Diego got pummeled by rain (it does happen) and there were flash flood warnings for the desert. As a result, a couple of others who were going to go with us, bailed for "safety" reasons. The three of us decided it was a bunch of hype and we should go anyways. So we did.

We left San Diego nice and early and drove through Ranchita where we passed by the statute dedicated to my people.



We then dropped down into the desert and could see lots of clouds and there was snow on the mountains, but no rain!



We all shifted into 4WD and had a quick chat before heading into the desert. Miles and his kid were in his '05 SR5 and Devin in his dad's Jeep Wrangler.



Our first stop was Font's Point which is a viewpoint over the valley of the desert. It felt a bit like being on the south rim of the Grand Canyon, just not so grand. The weather was perfect and the mud was not bad at all. Yet.





After Font's Point, we played around in some washes and then Devin suggested Calcite Mine Trail. Miles's voice excitedly agreed over the radio and off we went.

Calcite is a crystal which is commonly found in the desert sandstone. During WW2, it was discovered that high-grade calcite crystal sharpened the targeting accuracy of gun sights so well it raised the survival rate of allied bombing missions. John W. Hilton owned the land where this deposit was found and mined it initially, but then sold the mine to the Polaroid Corp. who worked the mine until a better synthetic substitute was discovered in 1945 when the mine was closed.

The trail is a narrow steep trail with a few ledges and drop-offs and more than one area where a wheel is on the edge of a cliff. In other words, perfect for a complete beginner!!

These are just a few random shots from along the trail. I got to lift wheels (yes, plural at one point) for the first time and learned how well our 4Runners really do off-road! I also got to put my first scars in the rear bumper.











Dropping off this ledge is how I got the first scars in my rear bumper:



And then out of the canyon and back to the road:



We all decided it was time for some lunch and headed over to 7 Palms for a quick lunch.



That's Devin lounging in my 4Runner because there's no room to sit on the tailgate of a Heep.



Lunch beer!!



We then headed back down the wash towards Ocotillo Wells off road area and the Pumpkin Patch.

On the way to the Pumkin Patch, we blasted through a mud puddle. I got a decent shot of Miles and his kid going through. If you zoom in, you can see his kid laughing his head off!!



The "pumpkins" are unique geological feature called concretions. It is believed they form much like pearls form, with wet sand attaching itself to a piece of shell. When the water dries, the sand becomes hardened around the object, which then repeats over many, many years. Wind erosion is believed to give the Ocotillo concretions their round shape.





After hitting the Pumpkin Patch, we went up a wash. This is the last picture I took before things got REALLY muddy. Eventually, it got too muddy and we had to turn around at a step we just could not get up without a winch.



The end result:



After this, it was a quick drive back to San Diego for Carne Asada burritos and some cold cervesas (beers).

Great build thread. Sorry to hear about your neck injury but very cool and inspiring to see you get back out there via other means. Builds and stories with some "history" are the best... keep at it and I'm sure your going to continue loving the 4x4 world (and your 4Runner) for years to come.

Thank you for the kind words. Your build thread, photos and videos have been some of my big motivators.

One of the difficult things for me is deciding whether to keep things going in order, or to start highlighting some of the bigger things I've done. Fortunately, one of the "cooler" things I've done, my sleeping platform/drawers, was built pretty early on.

In about an hour or so I'm out of here for a four day weekend up by Kernville. Cannot wait. Mountains, desert, snow . . .
