Not 4Runner related but wanted to let you know.... while you're all in 70-80* weather, getting ready for camping and exploring...... this is where I'm at. ROFL. Yes, the water is refreezing behind me today.

North Slope Alaska!

Aaah... Spring time. Is that Prudhoe? So THAT'S how you afford all those aftermarket parts! Haha.

Here's a couple from our hiking trip last week in the mountains around town. There's a "road" of sorts for about 10 miles, washouts and river crossings, before you're on foot.

We spent the whole day hiking, back to the car around 9pm. Rule number 1? Always stay on the "road". Made a split second wrong decision to avoid the worst of the washouts, turned onto the clay and mud looking for a easier way around. The result? Sunk to the frame.

This is the first time in 3 years that I have actually gotten stuck in the Yota. We were digging with our hands, wedging driftwood under the wheels, desperately trying to get traction in the goey liquid clay. This is a remote area and cell reception would be a 15 mile walk away through bear and wolf country, at dusk.

The Kachemak mountain gods finally took pity on us after Midnight, and we broke free. Grateful for the midnight sun up here, or this might have been a very different story.

Not bad for a stock vehicle! ...I have GOT to get some diff lockers.

Wow, that's a crazy experience... i guess it's a good lesson on what you would need to take next time you go out.

A winch is handy. A couple years ago in Mexico we got my buddy's Sportsmobile (4x4 lifted Ford van) stuck in the beach sand. It was getting dark and my buddy was worried about the tide coming in. I wasn't too worried but it was his van. So we tried everything to get it out (some of those sand ladder things would have been helpful). He told me to go dig a big hole in the ground 50 feet in front of the van and we buried the spare tire in there with the winch line wrapped around. It worked!

Here's some photos:

Yea, a pair of Maxtrax come in handy...

Only been up here for about a year with this company. Right in Deadhorse really. Fire and Gas upgrade at FS1. That finished up and we're doing pre-tar at GC1 right now. The past year has been really good, but price of oil is catching up to everyone. All our projects have been getting pulled and put on hold for a while.

Long term goals on this build are pretty low-key. Basically just gonna be a weekend-warrior and daily-driver so I'm probably not gonna be doing any heavy wheelin'. That being said...I still wanna be able to go anywhere I wanna go, anytime I wanna go there, and still look dope while I'm doing it [emoji14]

Also, I hear ya loud and clear on the running boards. My old lady is only 5'1 so she pitched a fit when I said I was gonna ditch them...lol

Guess I'll end up replacing them with nerf bars just to keep her happy.

My build started off like how you're thinking. Plus, upgrading whenever anything needs to be replaced. It's still that type of build but aimed more for exploring and expidition as well. Keep wife happy and keep the running boards till you bend one. Then get sliders. If nothing else they help keep people from dinging your truck in parking lots and she can still use them for a step. Nurf bars.... [emoji13] lol

I have an aftermarket one avail that I've had on my own 4Runner for years. It's one of my fav mods, and every time I'm at a gas station and pull next to another 4Runner, they always ask why the front looks so good

 

[Kiefy4Runner]

Great build! Looks awesome!

 

[Kiefy4Runner]

Damn that looks like fun!

Camped out in Sequoia National Park this weekend with some buddys! It was a 7 hour drive from San Diego to the camp site. About 3 hours into the drive, my engine temp went through the roof and I could smell coolant. My radiator, that I installed only a year ago, had a nice crack in it. Filled her up with water and drove to an AutoZone 30 mins further down the road. I swapped out my radiator in the parking lot in one hour flat! Finished the drive, pitched a tent, got a fire going, and had some cold ones with the boys.

May I ask, which radiator? I'm looking to change mine soon. Thanks

Your wheels look great? Did you sandblast them before you painted them? What kind of paint did you use?

So I did a thing to my moms Camry.......

Depends on long term goals, but most remove running boards.

You were right. My 4Runner says "Thanks."
