[BigRogers]

Just some other shots of the build.....so far have done all of the work myself and learned a ton.

First the OME and 1-1/4" spidertrax and getting rid of the factory running boards.




Outdoor Logic Sliders....



Then the CB. Owe the install help to Ripcord. Great spot for the install!

 

[BigRogers]

then i did the cargo box and deck (link to the full build)
Needed some place to put the full spare so this all just kind of came together. Tire is strapped down by the way.

 

[BigRogers]

made a club run with the local toyota guys and got some good pics.....

 

[hrt4me]

nice!

can you tell me more about the front e-locker?

 

[GSPRunner]

Awesome 4runner! I'm going to be doing a bumper soon, and the ODL used to be on the bottom of my list, but the more I look at it the more I like it. And I LOVE what you did with the storage boxes and deck in the back. That is really smart!

 

[AZTOY]

Good looking and functional truck. Rear storage and shelves are very nice. Have a write up for those? Or a
Link?

Love the avatar Dark Lord. Too bad she wasn't at the Olympics

 

[Big John]

Nice work. I really like the rear deck. One of the more functional one's I've seen.

 

[BigRogers]

Appreciate the good words. Thanks.

Installed a new Stereo over the weekend. All in all pretty simple, plus it finished of nice without having to use the trim ring. Mounting hardware fit really well with the install, even used the factory bracket to bolt the whole unit down in place, extremely pleased.

Well I just returned from a 10 day trip to New Mexico. Had a Blast. Round trip put in 1938 miles with about 150 of that being offroad. BajaRack did extremely well, need to readjust slightly but overall very satisfied with the purchase. And is still got right around 18/19 mpg on the highway!

Got a chance to swing by one of my favorite BBQ spots in the town I grew up in - The Red Chimney. If you are ever in Carlsbad it is a must.


Spent a couple of days with my Parents, Aunt & Uncle and Cousin in Cloudcroft mountain biking and hanging out, then my dad and I got away for a a great 7 day trip.

First few nights we stayed in the Cloudcroft area, made it down to White Sands for bit.




Got a chance to hit up another one of my favorite spots in NM - Blake's. Green Chili Cheese Burgers are the shizz. Don't get to get those in TX.


All in all hit about 100 miles of dirt and offroad.


Even made it by the Boy Scout Camp i went to as a kid.


Then it was on to the Taos/Angle fire Area. We stayed around Sipapu

That bumper is beautiful! It looks like your tire is rubbing on the fender flare. Maybe it's just the picture but not sure. Also looks like you cut the fender?

with the OEM bumper it did rub. had to trim out the inside front sections of both drivers and passengers side of the bumper. ended up working out, but would still rub under compression. No more problems with the ODL bumper! :biggrin2:
