Looks great so far. What else you got planned for it?

Looks like you've been busy. Are you going to lift it?
What did you do to the Silverado besides the bumper? |

Very nice start!!
Love the FJ Switches...so glad you got them, they are super pricey, but they are super clean. In low lighting and night shots, NO CAMERA can take great pictures...because you need a long shutter speed. Grab a camera w/ Manual settings and a tripod or super steady platform to capture crystal clear photos in the dark. |

What kind of LEDs are those? It's got a good color temperature without too much blue. |

I took a trip out to South Fork, CO over the past week to haul my friend's Harley out there for him. While I was there I decided to check out some of the trails in the local mountains and somehow wound up on the 4x4 trail to the Wheeler Geologic Area. I made it about 10 of 14 miles (I think) before it got too hardcore and I had to turn around.
If I had 4wd or at least a locker and some better tires I would've gone farther but it was getting dark and I hadn't seen anyone or gotten cell receptions for hours and I didn't want to risk getting stuck that far out. I don't have any video of climbing the harder stuff because the camera was messing up and then the trail got too technical for me to be dealing with the camera. I did however figure out the camera when I turned around and got most of the way back down from the more difficult stuff. I started this video after I got bored because the trail was so slow Video 1 This video was long but has some decent action climbing up a small rock garden about 6:00 into the video. Two This is about a minute after I turned around when it got too hardcore. turning back More of the way down that didn't get recorded going up. Final Video |
I took A LOT of pictures on my trip and a lot of those were of the 4runner so I figured I'd post em here.
