It's now Line-X'd and he is living the good life in Baja with a few other 4Runners and Toyotas. I'll Try to snag some photos when he comes back!

Power Tray / Switch Pro 9100 Install
A few months ago, I decided that I needed to organize all of the wiring I had done to date into an effective electrical system that would be functional and safe. To achieve this, I would start with a Power Tray to use as the backbone for my accessories. For my switched accessories, I purchased a Switch Pro SP-9100 which allows for up to 8 outputs and a lot of customization for each output. I also really like it's low profile control panel that fits in well with the rest of the Toyota interior. Lastly, for my constant hot power I would be using a Blue Sea 6 slot fuse block to safely distribute power in the 4Runner. For more information on my installation, please visit Trail4R.com to read the entire installation write up written and photographed by me!

Just 2 weeks?? I've been in the PNW for 2 years now and there's still so much to see! Sea to Sky Hwy is on my short list this summer.

I have learned that when you travel you will most definitely miss things and skip over others. But you do what you can to enjoy the things you can and it's never once upset me :thumb3:

A Brief MTN4RNR Update
Well, I am getting married here next week, so the last few months have had my weekends tied up preparing for that. Hence my lack of trip reports, camping and writing on this forum and on my website. Things will change on that front here in about a month or so once life settles back down. We are going to be heading out on a 3,200 mile road trip for our honeymoon taking us into Canada and back for 14 days. In preparation for that I have added a few things to the 4Runner...
A passenger rear seat delete...
A new Dometic CFX50W that fits on the new seat delete...
And a full length Front Runner rack that I spec'd to work seamlessly with the AutoHome.
I will have some upcoming pieces on why I chose to mod what I did once I get back into post-wedding normal mode. In the mean time, I will be having a good time with my future wife!
Catch you all on the flip side!

I need to figure out a way for my wife to take a month off work next summer :thumb3:

Tell her you will take care of everything on the trip, and make it about her. Give her an offer she can't refuse! Sight see, do all of the "have to do" activities and have a great time!

Now we know why you have been MIA. I bet that was a spectacular trip!

Yep! The wedding was a month ago, and we were gone for the 16 days following that! Now, I am back and ready for some summertime Sierras camping :thumb3: I will be posting a brief overview of the trip and things that I learned while on the road for 2 weeks and 3,400 miles!

Lol! Seems you’ve learned the most important lesson in marriage already, “Happy Wife Happy Life”. :Bravo: :tape:
Now if it when kids come for you all, that’s when the adventure truly begins :lol:

Absolutely. If she's not happy, then I am not happy. But there is a time and place for everything. I get my in the dirt trips as well, sometimes she comes along, sometimes not. But I still get to go :thumb3:
And yeah, at that point the 4Runner will be "dad's offroader" and I will have the family build. Mountain4x4

Thanks Total Chaos! I have been very happy with your upper control arms on the build. No squeaking or creaking for me! Admittedly, I am a bit OCD on maintenance :bounce:

Holy smokes. Where exactly was this?

This was on Icefields Parkway (Hwy 93), midway between Banff and Jasper in Alberta, Canada. Truly one of the most jaw dropping drives that I have ever experienced.

Well congratulations sir! :thumb:
Looking for some good adventures as well. Fore sure all of the Hwy. 4 trials this summer, and most likely going to do a day run somewhere on 7/3. I have an itch to make a Rubicon run, just have to find the right group and time.

I totally agree with you! I was there last year with a rental x5 and was stopping so many times along that route albeit I got it stuck on one of the trips.
PS: Relatively new here but I've bookmarked and been following your build/adventures. Love what you're doing man!

Thank you! I am looking to head into that area in the beginning of July. As for the Rubicon, I think I have some more work to do before I can make that happen
