A couple more that Jon posted from Sunday.
Fun trail but definitely steep and loose. Could have really used the locker... Would have been way easier :ybrick:
Finally made it after a few attempts. Now to tackle the second half thats just past the bushes..... :wow:
And a couple shots of Drew and myself enjoying the trails.

My 06 is 2wd and i wheeled most of those trails with that. Don't think that just because you only have 2wd that your vehicle can't be capable. Just need a heavier right foot is all. :hatsoff:

I'm ordering up the cooler tomorrow. Going with a B&M 70266 from Jegs. Figure I will be into the whole setup about $100. I want it taken care of before Pismo. Bumpers come next week so I can take care of the cooler at the same time while the front end is apart and easily accessable.
Should be ordering up the Poly steering rack bushings as well through Wheelers to get that taken care of also.

Thanks for the compliment. I have liked these wheels ever since my friend Drew got them on his 06 prerunner.
I have some 16x8" Hutchinson Border Patrol double beadlocks with added 3/8" rock rings waiting to go on when the new axles get put underneath last next year.
Figured the Racelines are a good wheel to tide me over till then.

I'll hold you too that.... hahaha
I may be able to swing that. I still have the boxes so it would be an easy ship option. They are 16x8" 4.5 BS. They ended up being the perfect offset because i rub a little on the frame at full lock in the rear and on the pounded firewall and rear of the front fenders a little with the 305/70/16's. Any more either way and it would have been even worse trying to get them to fit with just a 1.5" topout spacer lift.
and I meant late next year. My tow rig will be getting swapped out from my 06 runner to a 97 Powerstroke after the wedding when my fiance gets another car. Looking for another set of the hutchinsons for that one so I can run the MTR's on there with the E load rating.

I believe my current wheels are the same specs, so no problems there. We'll see if I have the same wheels let alone the same truck by then. Anything is possible lol.

Bumpers and poly steering rack bushings arrived today. :hello:
Should have some pictures in a couple hours when I get home and start prepping them for paint.
So far they look great. need to figure out the lighting, CB antenna, and flag mount tabs hopefully before paint. Need to stop by Any7offroad to see whether I can weld on the tabs real quick.
Bumpers will get mounted this weekend along with the winch, trans cooler, and hopefully wire up the fog lights.
Also,
Firestick II 4ft whip, spring mount, and fire ring 18' coax cable should be here Monday.

Sounds like a fun weekend! I've been eyeing the poly bushings too since I'm sure mine are shot. Post up your thoughts after the install.

Will do Josh,
I'm hoping it helps out but im thinking that when I change them out I will feel a lot more of the out of balance tires from everytime i air down hahaha......
Still looking at picking up one of your racks at some point. just need to get a few other items addressed firs.
Bumpers should be fun for sure. Will be good to finally be able to get my winch and lights back on a vehicle and off my garage floor. Plus with Pismo next weekend the CB setup, flag mount, and lights will be essential.

Well bumpers are painted and installed. I should have pictures tomorrow afternoon when I get home from work. my phone froze and now won't start so I'm heading to verizon tomorrow after work. Hence the no pictures yet.
Got the winch installed and powered along with the fairlead and synthinch line, grill cut for the winch, worked on trying to locate placement of the trans cooler, and cleaned up some of the sheet metal behind the new tubes.
Front bumper/ crossmember needs some finesse as it seems like it is leaning forward just a tad causing contact on the drivers side fender flair. Its just a tiny be but enough to bug me. Hoping to see whether I can shim the crossmember from underneath to help it tilt back some.
Fog light tabs got welded up and lights mounted. Should be welding up the hella 500 tabs for the stinger this week along with a lop in the top center to have for a winch hook point. (Don't want it down where the factory hook points are cause I have make contact on a number of occasions with those tabs :driving:
Should have the CB antenna and coax tomorrow. Hopefully I will get a chance to run the coax back for the antenna and the power leads for the receiver.
Lots to do this week before pismo for sure. :naughty:
