Sliders Install I received my White Knuckle sliders last week in the mail. Took them out of the box and was surprised how heavy they were! They are beefy! I went with the DOM, TE rocker panel, non KDSS, unpainted sliders. Installation was super simple and was happy about the lack of 'modding'...

Man the weather was crazy while we were there. Everyone made fun of us for picking the middle of the summer to go, but it ended up being nice and cool up on the mountain. It rained everyday we were there and made some things impassable and inaccessible. On the desert basin it was still...

I tell you what Big Bend has a lot to offer. Pretty neat place to go and stay in Texas! Hope you get healed and enjoy a fun family trip. Chet has a lot of knowledge up in that head of his! He is an awesome guy and the same in person as he is on camera. He loves Texas and loves sharing it with...

Thanks man. Trying to balance everyday! I am blessed! Man congrats to you that sounds like the experience! But Omaha was really neat. I hope to go again. Totally worth it.

My 97' was good fun and was a great vehicle but Lord willing, I have big things planned for this rig and should far exceed the overall ability the 3rd gen had. We shall see!

First and a First Well I got to go with a good friend of mine to shoot a television show 'The Daytripper' in Big Bend National Park. It was my first time out there and as a native Texan I felt ashamed I had never been there! I had to drive my own vehicle out there and meet up with him so I...

Sold the 3rd Gen the day after I got my 5th. Was a sad day but I am over it now!

Great time and venue! I suggest everyone go that is a sports fan. I am certain the truck is just geared for optimal gas mileage and when I was going as fast as I was the tranny just didn't know where to be gear wise. I am certain the E rated BFGs don't help the constant downshifting either!

CWS in OMAHA Tech made it to the College World Series in Omaha so I decided to take my dad and my son on a spur of the moment trip for a couple days to catch the first 2 games. First road trip in the 4Runner! What an awesome event! We drove overnight there and back so there weren't any truck...

Our GX 460 does this. I always assumed it was waiting to get air from compressor to the set temperature before it just started blowing hot air into the cabin. I actually think it gets cooler quicker doing this.

2 weeks old. Bilstein 5100 up front and superflex rear 2" coils rear. 275 BFG KO2

Thanks Michael. Good to see another NB 4Runner! As of now no plans for the wheels. I am super picky about wheels. On my old 3rd gen, I had to talk myself into buying the Toyota TRD wheels. I actually like the stockers right now. If did anything it would be TRD wheels in some form or fashion...

Thanks guys! I am digging the color more and more. Really happy this was somehow the only one available around the Austin area. Made my decision a lot easier. I didn't realize it was such a rare (less desirable?) color when I got it. Literally all my cars have been silver, white, and black...

Dang I don't know how I missed this build. Way to rock the Nautical Blue! Your truck looks great. I really like the front bumper. It doesn't look like it is over designed to fit every nook and cranny of our odd stock bumpers. Keep it up!

Ha thanks! Tell me about it! Off road adventures are hard to come by down here in Texas unless you have a loads of private land you can go on. There are one or 2 off road parks but they get a little repetitive after a couple trips. I am really ready to see what this thing can do off road...
