CMilViper's 2017 Cement 4Runner Build

[TexasTJ]

4R is looking good man. I wanted new wheels when we first got it, but I can't really find a reason to do so. As far as stock wheels go they're pretty good looking. But if I did it'd probably be for a bronze set of Tandem wheels (local).

Thanks a lot brother! Yeah, I've seen the Tandem wheels and agree, they look good, in bronze as well! I've also been looking into the SCS Ray10's in Matte Gunmetal, which I think looks pretty good w/ cement...so we'll see.

Earlier in this thread, I posted to another member that my garage entrance at home was about 84'' or 7ft.....
I was wrong, as it's actually higher, closer to 8ft tall or 94-96''.......... as it still clears the RTT by a "very small" margin!

I want an iKamper so bad. Your rig looks amazing.

Thanks man, I appreciate it.

Yeah, The iKamper was not near the top of the list when I started looking for a RTT, but it slowly worked it's way up the list.

I'm happy with my choice....great quality, and a lot of room for a hard shell tent. I also like the matte, rough textured "Rocky Black" color they offer vs. their glossy black hard shell option..

We just got back from another week in the Silverton/Ouray area, just as the leaves were all turning....Great trip indeed.

Hi,
I ran into you getting fuel at the beginning of the month when you were doing a solo trip to Ouray and Moab I believe. I was behind you getting fuel. We talked for a few minutes. Didn't not realize this was you at the time. I have followed your builds for a while. Got my MaxxTrax mounting idea from you. My wife and I had a great time out there. Your rig looked great. Take care

Dude, Awesome pic from Imogene!

Yes sir, that was me!....It was good to meet you out on the road! I tried to do a search for you on here, but was spelling your username wrong.
I really didn't do many trails on that solo trip, mainly just camping, and hiking/exploring from there.
I'm glad you and your wife had a great time! Sweet rig, and maybe I'll see you again up there next summer/fall!

I lost my previous dog, Denali, unexpectedly, back in December.

We brought home our new dog, Everest, in February.

I think he is ready for the road ahead, and a lot of good memories, just like our last one.

It took me a while but finally pulled the front bumper off & installed the Warn winch, along with the Factor 55 flatlink.

I also swapped out the stock TRD Pro wheels, for a set of gunmetal SCS Ray10's......I saw a few cement Tacoma's with the gunmetal Ray10's, which prompted me to go ahead with a wheel upgrade.

I just got back from doing a few trails, and mainly some camping with the family in NM/northern CO. We had a great time!

I am going to be heading back to Ouray/Crested Butte areas later this month...

Love that area. I'll be up there in a couple of weeks as well.

Yeah, that area is hard to beat! I'll be there the last week of July,..Maybe I'll see you up there.

I'll actually just spend a couple of days there on my way up to Idaho. Should be running the Idaho BDR last week of July, then on to WA and OR. Y'all have fun!

Dude, That sounds like an awesome trip man! I'm sure you will hopefully post some great pictures once you have returned, which I will look forward to....

Ya'll have fun as well, and stay safe brother!

I just got back from spending this past week in Ouray, CO. I don't think I'll ever get tired of those trails, and the scenic views!

 

[cmilviper]

My buddy sent me this pretty cool picture from Black Bear, as he was behind me in a Tacoma.

A great week of being on the road, hitting some trails, and heading towards the next campsite destination...

Camped in the Santa Fe National Forest, and then hit the road to Shiprock, NM. Camped at Muley Point in Utah for a couple of nights, which offers a great view!.....Aside from the immediate scenery, you can see Monument Valley off in the distance in one direction, Shiprock in another....

I then headed for Horseshoe Bend, and then camping out at Alstrom Point overlooking Lake Powell. Technical enough the last few miles to keep the motorhomes & Honda Civics away.......Unbelievable views!
