99 sr5 highlander's "build" thread.

I used a T fitting to split the line coming off the tank. It then goes to a pressure regulator and another T-fitting to split between the front and rear solenoids. Then both lines go though the vent in the drivers quarter panel.

Cool. I just haven't heard a lot about mounting the air for lockers internally as far as routing options. That looks sweet. Well done sir.
 
Got the roof top tent installed. I made up a couple simple crossbars from some 1"x2" rectangle tube. I may build a full length rack eventually, but this works great for now.

I picked up the Mt Thielsen from CVT on a great sale during Black Friday. I really wasn't in to the whole roof top tent thing. I've had friends with them and they can be a pain to set up and take down whenever you want to move your truck. That being said, the Mt. Thielsen is a unique design that makes setup super simple. ( It took me just 2 minutes to set the tent up today in the wind, including taking the cover off.) It does take up basically the whole roof, but this is a small price to pay for me due to the fact that it is much slimmer on the roof, which means better mpgs, is light weight, and has a fully aluminum frame.

My roommate is building probably the coolest Tahoe you've ever seen.

The tent comes with a 3" memory foam mattress on top of a 1" closed cell mattress. The other nice thing about this tent is that you can leave all your bedding in the tent when you fold it up.

It's been a while since I've perused build threads. Somehow missed this one. Nice work on the build. You smartly pursued things in an order similar how I want to. Perhaps I'll see you this year at Northwest Overland Expo!

Thanks, there are a couple things that I would have done differently. Rock sliders should have been first, and I'm just now building them.
I'm definitely going to make it a priority to go to the rally again next year. We should get a group of 4runner folks together and do a run.
 
Just got back from spring break. A couple friend and I went to Moab again. We ran Hells Revenge, which I've done before, but this time played on all the hard obstacles. The Front and rear lockers made all the difference and it walked up Hells Gate and Escalator no problem.

We also spent 3 days on the White Rim trail in Canyonlands. It was a spectacular trip. Id Highly recommend it to anyone who is going. You do need to reserve camp sites in advance if you are doing it in more than one day (which you should, its about 80 miles, and there is great scenery along the way.)

Dang it is cool to see that thing in action! There was a bunch of 3rd gens from colorado there too around the same time. Did you see any of them?

Glad to hear the 4.88s and ARBs are doing well, man I cannot wait for that.

If you come back this way anytime soon, give me a holler. Moab is a 6 hour drive and I am always ready to go back there.
 
Heres the rest of the Photos from the moab trip.
