Finally got some snow! Me and the wife took a much needed weekend staycation and headed into central Wisconsin to stay at our friends cabin. Also stopped by central waters brewing! Two thumbs up for some great beer!

Not much has changed or been added to the 4runner the last 5-6 months. I have bought a couple things here and there but wont be installing untill I get out of salty state of wisconsin. I'll post the pictures of what I bought once I get them in the mail.

Bought some light brackets from rago fabrication ( quality pieces, highly recommend if your looking for a set) I paired those with some chinese knock off BD squadrons lol

Converted the high beams to 4300k 55w HID huge difference when driving down unlit single lane highways.

Its finally starting to get warm here in wisconsin so i figured I'd get the ole silver turtle prepped for some camping this summer. I broke out the RTT for the first time in almost 3 or 4 years!! (Work sucks!) Anyway they both fit nicely on my cheap ass rola rack haha...

I used to load my rtt up on my tacoma with no problems but now with the 4runners mounting spot a few feet taller I had to use some 2x6's to help me out. No sweat people. Looking good and almost ready for an adventure...

Picked up some Icon bumps, TC link skids and spindle gussets. Prepping an extra set of spindles for the gussets and painting the link skids as we speak.

thanks man! having a Long travel tacoma the past 10 years has really helped me streamline the 4runner build. Simple effective, quality bolt on parts is all i need for this thing

right on! I'm sure your like me and your work had some influence on you moving out to LA?

Picked up an RCI filler plate to help ease my worry about a rogue stick branch rock or road debris from puncturing my radiator and tranny cooler.

Yes sir. Moved out for work in 2012. I just got into 4runners last summer and have bought and sold two since then. Getting one that will hopefully stick around longer and I can really build up, it's a stock silver V8 from a friend, this summer.

Went ahead and installed the TC link skids, took a little love to get those bad Larry's on there but they're on and looking good.

Finally got around to installing the Yukon grizzly locker in the rear. This thing is smooth as can be, its way better than the lockrite I have in my tacoma. There is no clunking, popping or ratcheting noises what so ever. Highly recommend for anyone looking to lock their daily and doesnt want to bother with air lockers

Great build thread brother!
We would easily get drunk together I’m guessing based on your photos. Lol
