Wow. I know I've been off the forums for awhile but this makes me sad...

I got to watch two guys "spot" my 4Runner in the parking lot of Red White and Brew in NE Mesa Az as I had a late lunch with the family. Watched them take pics, walk all the way around and then cross a bit of a line laying on the ground to check out my sliders and skid plates. Luckily they drove...

Truck, the beast, Vanilla Gorilla. It varies depending on the day.

Today I spotted three bone stock BP's at Home Depot as I was pulling in and then saw a BP 2014 driven by a grandma while driving home. Made me both happy and sad at the same time...

I considered doing the same thing. I got my 4runner because of my dogs but in my opinion it's too big and wide (and nice) to wheel as hard as my friends do with their trail rigs. I was going to sell the 4runer and get an IS350 and build a 3rd gen 4runner or mid travel Tacoma. Luckily (I think) I...

My issue always seems to be timing. If I'm in my 4runner all the 5th Gens I see are stock and driven by soccer moms. If I'm in my commuter car Acura I see nice lifted ones and I get weird looks as I wave...

Welcome. The AZ 5th gens are becoming well represented!

Added the rest of the Budbuilt skid plates (only had the front skid for oil change ease). Gas tank skid was heavy. Also finally mounted and wired the 2nd 7 in double row led light to the rear of my Gobi. Although not today I did order a Shrockworks front bumper with the Feb group buy. So in a...

To help the cause I ordered a front bumper for my 5th gen

Imitation is the highest form of flattery. I may need to update my post thanking all who I have plagerized. Got the v-led strip lights ready to install under the hood and above my sliders. The rest of the Budbuilt skids are being delivered on Thur and in 4+ months when my Shrockworks front...

I have to get approval from the boss,but is there any harm with me using the code to ensure you stay over 15 or is there a cap? I'm looking to get a front bumper for my 5th gen.

That looks surprisingly familiar. Nice work!

I like the look of it but for the price I'd prefer the CBI Offroad premium universal tire carrier. Fold Down Tire Carrier PREMIUM MODEL | CBI Offroad Fab Eventually I'm doing a full bumper upgrade but I considered this as a temporary fix as I'd like a matching 295 spare. Either that or the...

Not sure if it is a common enough size but I have 295/70R17 Toyo Mud Terrains on mine. Its a 33.5x12 that I mounted on some 17x9 wheels with a 4.5 offset if I recall correctly. It required a good amount of trimming of the front bumper and fender liners and a body mount chop and I still rub...

That must be another BP. I live near Sossamen and University and work near Raintree and the 101. Also until a little incident with my commuter car I only had been taking the 4runner out on weekends. The AZ 4runner crew is becoming well represented on here it seems. I really need to get some...
