Just got caught up on your whole build thread. Both your builds together have an amalgam of mods I would like to add to my future build, really appreciate your updates! Your current rig looks beautiful!

Went "camping" this weekend.. It was my uncles wedding and it was more like, enjoy the wedding, go back to the campsite and drink and have fun and crash. It was only one night so I figured I would try sleeping in the runner

It actually worked great! I had to sleep with the hatch open about 10" but it was comfortable and I would do it again!

Also, my younger son and I thought it would be fun to start a youtube channel. So we got some videos done and posted. It will mainly be car stuff and family stuff.. no how-to's but more so just documenting what we are doing. Having fun and trying not to care about what other people may think. Plus it will be fun to have some stuff on here since my boys are growing up fast and will be out of the house within a few years. So we will do stuff with the 4runner, younger sons Jetta, older sons 2wd tacoma, families land cruisers... pretty much anything.. family events.. so yeah.. should be fun.. and kind of scary right now putting myself out there.. But here is the link if you are interested!

Hey, I know you told me at some point, but I could not find the answer. What upgraded rear license plate lights are you using instead of the plastic ones that come with the 4X Innovations swing out?

When I looked at your old white 4runner, it looked like you were using something else entirely.

So the bumper came with the plastic bolt leds.. which I broke within 5 minutes of trying to install. So on the white 4runner I had a different style of license plate light laying around but it was bulky.. but I used it anyway. I didn't want to do that again so I found some more bolt leds but these are actually metal. Haven't installed them yet because I love buying parts and not putting them on

Brought the final parts home from my 99.. had a bleeding accident! Thank goodness for cargo liner! Looks like a murder scene..

Then a couple beauty shots cause it was nice out.

Sweet. Ordered them same day Amazon. Still at work... My luck, some neighborhood tweaker will take them from my front door...

I thought I would have my bumper back by now. I thought wrong. Some excuses about a broken machine and a, we'll call you in a few days bla, bla, bla... It's killing me not having it on and my schedule is getting full with other have tos. But I should be ready to go when it finally shows up.

Holy cow what a mess in the cargo! I need to get one of those rear Weathertech cargo mats. I think I might pick up one of those and some front seat covers next BF sale.

Truck looks great man.

Oh great, I hope those lights work good now!

You are probably going crazy waiting for that bumper! I hate waiting for parts that I am super stoked to install! It's a good feeling

The cargo liner saved my life! I almost left without it because I havent been using it with the Surf mat but I remembered as I pulled out the driveway.. I had no idea that it would leak so much on the drive home!

Thanks for the compliments! Your runner looks awesome too!

Thank you! We are total noobs on the youtube channel but its fun and I don't have much video of any of this kind of stuff and my son seems to be on board so we will keep making cheesy videos for a while

"Blurple", sounds like something you cough up after a hard night of drinking chick drinks hahaha

I have been slacking on doing anything to my 4runner for a while but I am driving it this week cause a buddy is borrowing my car so its good motivation to start doing some things again. Finally got off my butt and installed my license plate leds.
