Hey guys and gals!
Just wanted to share a vid of our trip to the White Rim Trail.

Our trip out to Colorado and Utah was a success!
(Minus a broken ankle and having to skip mountain passes in CO because of it)
Our 2000 4Runner preformed great and got us into some wild areas and more importantly got us out!
The White Rim Trail, a 3 day/2night 100+mile off road trail through...
AOAA - Pennsylvania Coal Township
Next Challenge- 4Runner going up steep incline
And if that's not enough "spray"

Wife and I are driving to Colorado and Utah, from Philadelphia, in 10 Days! Fingers and toes crossed Imogene or Black Bear Pass is open by then!

Hi guys!
Sorry to pat one of these "what's this noise" threads. Wife and I are leaving on a cross country road trip in less than a month and the truck just started making a very odd noise.
It's a 2000 sr5 v6 4x4 auto w/ 168k
The noise sounds like what a lose/rattling timing chain sounds...
They are nice!! I think 9inches may be to tall tho as the lowered seats are a little higher than the cargo floor. We where throwing around the idea of cutting milk crates to the correct height. But I'll keep looking around!
Those boxes would be nice tho!
Looks nice!
We recently built a platform as well!
We opted to build it as light weight as possible and skipped the drawer this time. We may revisit the build after our trip out west after getting some use of the current setup.
Yep! It's possible. But the hinged piece can only be 27 inches long with our build/setup or else it gets caught on the roof. You may be able to gain a inch or two depending where you have the hinge.
It's definitely not a king bed. I'm 5'11. With the front seats fully pushed up, there is well over 6'5 feet of length. The platform however is not that full length. So my feet hang off a bit.
It's not to bad tho!
We'll see what I have to say after a night on it tho!
My wife and I are driving out to Colorado and Utah and plan on sleeping in the back of the truck for a portion of the time.
Here is our solution that set us back only $40 bucks!

The seals are in good shape and yes, the truck is moving through water and not standing "still" in water. If parked, water would eventually make its way in.
A tip that is worth trying if you are crossing water is to roll up your windows and turn your AC/Heat on full blast. Be sure to have it...
