ANTMAN'S Thread

Haha. As I was catching up on this thread, I was thinking the same. Reata beat me to it, but +1.

I'm a boater too.

Thanks guys!

Sp8ball took that pic during our fishing trip. The location is right outside the Severn River by the Naval Academy. Thats the Bay Bridge in the background (Sun's reflection). It was a beautiful day!

Did you finish your wheels or are you running around with two black/two silver? If you did, post up some pics please!

 

[Antman]

You know me well enough by now... It drove me nuts. :redbrick:

I painted the other 2 as well. That Plastidip is actually holding up great! I love the look, it changed the character of the vehicle dramatically. I'll post some better pics when I get a chance...

 

[Tedstryker]

I would like to see what they look like ^^^ as well!

 

[Antman]

Ok. Unless you guys know some special camera that can show all 4 wheels at once , I posted pics of the one side after I painted them. I will get some better pics later, but here's the link:

Just called my local IKEA. Seems there's been a run on queen size beds and they are all sold out. LOL

Thanks for the mod. Did you install the roof rack lights on your truck? If so, how did you route the wires on the interior.

Thanks!

Welcome to T4R kgamache!

I never did a proper writeup on the lights, keep meaning to get around to it. There are some pics in my photo album of the wire routing

Toyota 4Runner Forum - Antman's Albums

Basically the power wire comes through the rain gutter and into a factory wire loom for the hatch. The ground for the lights is sourced from a mounting bolt on the rack. That way there is no need to run a ground wire from inside the truck. No problems so far with this setup!

Dear Mrs. Antman,

Fall and winter are on the way. For the added safety in what is predicted to be another snowfilled winter (see La Nina), I wanted to point out that now would be the proper time to install tires. Tires that are better suited to making sure you and you family are ready to take full advantage of what your 4Runner can do in bad weather. Sure, new tires are expensive but how much is it worth to you to make it home safely versus being stuck far from home because the tires have no grip?

Please , don't let cost edge out safety.

Sincerely,
The Jerk

Ahahahaha ...

Great, I just spit coffee!

OK Ant, it's now official, from S-Mike (aka Jerk) no less. Get 'em on.

Thanks for the reply and welcome.

So as far as the lights, I am curious about getting the wire through the cab to the switches. Did you have to remove any panels or just fish it through.

Also, is your roof rack custom and is the ladder hinged?

Thanks again!
