thanks man, How do you like the floods? I'm actually contemplating on getting some of those Amber floods and finding a way to make them fit in the OEM fog light spot. I think i could make them work with the OEM switch by spicing the wires but yeah... Oh the joys of being a gear head haha

you know what i think i do remember seeing you, I vaguely remember but i think i was trying to listen to hear what your snorkel sounded like. Its kind of cool area there on Geneva. There are a bunch of areas id love to do some more shots.

But Dang man if your that close we need to hit the trails, my truck has just been seeing way too much pavement lately.

I got a buddy that has a 4 door Taco; locked, lifted and everything we went out on the other side of the lake a while ago but other than that im not too familiar with the trails around here. it would be cool to get some more of the utah guys and do some trails.

Dude. It's lee. I was way off yota4runner is my RME username. We met online and didn't even realize we know eachother when we met in person!

Man did you ever get your T-case figured out? Oh and we are lifting Noah's [MENTION=97939]TheArkMaster[/MENTION] rig here on Sunday. Should be installing the bumpers and sliders next month after I get my bumper finished.

I'm not sure, i took it to the dealer, and told them what was going on and the guy said my front drive shaft zerk just needed grease. I haven't tested it out yet, but I need to for sure! cant wait till summer!

Anyway, are you guys doing it at your house? I may try to drop by, gosh i need to buy more goodies so i can join the wrench party!

Yeah yesterday was rough honestly but we will be trying to finish it up on Thursday this week. And yeah that would actually make a bit of sense. Well one of these Sundays we can tear into it and get you all fixed up.

What up fellas? well for those of you that don't know, I've got some news. The 4runner just isn't practical enough for all the driving that I do. It's getting up there in miles, (not really only 160K ) but honestly things are kind of falling apart, the gas mileage sucks, I'm always wanting to dump a bunch of money into it building it the way i want and yeah...

So, I'm going to be picking up a new addition to the Toyota family tomorrow. As of right now, I'm keeping my 4runner but here I am single dude, just graduated, now gonna have two cars. I'm hoping i don't have to sell the 4runner. I've enjoyed the "no car payment" thing for a while but i guess it can only last so long for some people. My plans will be to have the runner for the winter and for the trails. I hope that i can get back into the enjoyment of wheeling again this summer It should be nice to have secondary vehicle. It just means I wont have that much mod money for the 4runner I know, i know i could save all that car payment money and build my rig but still the more miles a i get the more stuff i'm gonna have to fix eventually lol.

Anyway Pics of this new beauty will hopefully come tomorrow. I'm nervous, this is my first brand new car, but it's too late to back out now and YOLO right? Anyway, ill keep ya'll posted.

BTW funny story after I was trying to leave the dealership. I don't know about you guys, but there seems to be somewhat of a bond between me and my 4runner. I'm a dork but i talk to it sometimes like it has feelings, I'm not crazy i swear! Anyway when i was leaving the dealership, my 4runner conveniently started to sputter and stall at start up and has been doing it ever since. Also a couple things have spontaneously come loose, and yeah... I think i made it mad haha

Hot damn! He's alive! Man! COME TO MOAB ON SATURDAY :flypig:

Ps. What'd you get? What'd you get? What'd you get? :cheer2:

 

[GottaBeTRD]

alright.... so ever since these things came out i was in love! I had to have one, i went and test drove a few used cars to convince myself i didn't need a brand new car, but no... I had to have one of these. 40 mpg's here I come!

I'm sure most of you have seen the new corolla's this is the Sport Plus with the "driver connivance" package. I absolutely love it!!
