I think you have to share the albums to post the pics. Not showing for me. Wanted to catch you before you got too far. But welcome! and looking forward to seeing this rig and adventures.

Thanks man I think I fixed it.

Very nice! Great pics. Hopefully when I get back to CO I can join in on some of those expeditions. Cheers!

Edit: I'll also ask...what snorkel are you using? Great job on the install. Now I know who I can bribe to put mine in if I ever bite on one. Still not sold on the looks of them.

That fixed most of them and damn, there's some more epic shots in there than I expected! Good work!

4runner looks great! I love that rear bumper and how you didn't make it come all the way up to the tail lights like every other 4th gen bumper does.

 

[Drummer1]

I love the overall look of your T4R! The photography is amazing.

I like drunken stuper kind of nights. Especially when it involves CO beer! HAHA Whatever beer you're drinking yours came out good. I've seen some that has too much space or wasn't cut in the best location.

Looking good. Wish I was motivated enough to make my own bumper.

Hey thanks man! I like to keep it pretty simple. This isn't the first rig i have built but it is the first "EXPO" style!
