Lets just say i live in Portland OR where it rains constantly and know a few people with the standard XRC winch that have never had an issue from water or anything for that matter. If you want to pay some extra coin for the peace of mind feel free but unless you are driving through standing...

I got a smitty built XRC-8 with synthetic line. Awesome winch for an even better price. Skip the water proof version its totally overkill.

I have toyed with the idea of pulling the front bumper off and doing some cutting to pull it back in about 3". I think its totally do able just not sure if i want to do all that work.... Lazy! In reality it probably wouldn't be all that much work. I can pull the bumper in about 15minutes. Only...

That's good info! I can totally see how people could get on that road that should not be. I have even seen a few Minivans trying to go up the road while it had several feet of snow and more steadily coming down. I try to get those people to turn around.... some do some don't. I like to think...

I love how you chased him all over Portland. Thats hillarious. I am interested in SAR but fear I dont have the tim eto commit to training and actually doing it. What all is involved?

I am actually working in Longview Washington at a paper mill. I wont be back in my Vancouver office until June or so. I have been starting to see more "built" 4runners on my commute since it like trippled!! I really wish my rig got some better milage.... 17MPG is not so great when commuting...

Bump

A pic of the dirty pig just after lift, wheels, and tires. I am usually down to try new places and really enjoy snow wheeling with a group as long as its not a huge group. A friend and I ran into a group of about 40 toyota's up on LoLo pass this year and boy wa that a cluster. I had some drunk...

I am looking to get a set of LC 7 or 8 wrap coils. Let me know what you got and how much you are looking to get. I am reasonable on price. Thanks

New to the forum Hey all. Just letting you know you can add one more to the PNW list. Im interested in going on a run with some of you guys as it would be cool to meet some members. I am familiar with many of Oregon's OHV areas but am always looking for new areas to explore. You guys have...

Donefore's Build Ooooo look a 5 speed!!! http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/138561-donefore-s-99-5spd-build.html

So I suppose it is time to start a build thread even though I have already done most of what I want I picked up this little gem after selling my 05 Subaru Legacy GT (amazing car but it died at 100k) probably a little too heavy on the skinny. it is a 1999 Black 4Runner with Factory 5 speed and...

Thanks! I got them for a steal. ($120 for all 5 and have 2 extras) The bumpers, both front and rear, are the controversial TAG or Kensaw Mountain bumpers. I can go into detail if you like but lets just say I had to be very patient for the the cheap price. The swingout is nice but kinda scares...

Thats me! I work very close to this Americas tire. My buddy was patching my spare and said he saw you come snap some pictures. Nice looking rig by the way!
