I gave her my stock wheels, I think I'll get more use of the elocker as well lol

I love them, especially for the price haha, I'm thinking of going towards something that's softer though but I might change my mind once I have a bumper and winch

Ruby Mountains - May 2019

1400 mile trip I did back in May

Bay Area -> Bridgeport, CA -> Great Basin Ntl Park, Baker, NV -> Ruby Valley Hot Springs -> Reno, NV -> Bay Area

Looking good, let’s see a trip report of that last trip you posted!

Really liking that precleaner on the snorkel. I just installed the same snorkel, what precleaner did you order?

 

[Ser1clymb]

That is a good looking rig. Nice work.
I'm curious what Eibach coils you used? Did you use the 620# 4runner coils or did you use the other 4runner Eibach coils with a lower spring rate?

 

[Ryance39]

That awning is interesting.. been waiting for an ARB to pop up on Craigslist but the reviews on this are great...

I’m not a huge fan of the snorkel fad that has started up since the eBay one hit the market but it looks really nice with the precleaner.

No trip reports until the camper build is finished

Sorry for the late response, I went to the link and the item is no longer available. I will attach a photo of the item from my Amazon orders.

You want a 3" inlet on the Pre-cleaner and you may need to do some cutting/widening to the existing snorkel tube.

I cut the snorkel tube down about 2-3" so the pre-cleaner sits more in line with the roof.

Still loving the awning, no complaints

Thanks! I used the 620#

They are stiff how I have them set up, I plan on switching to Kings once I sort out the front bumper.
