First of all I've never done a build thread or an adventure thread. After reading, lurking and just observing I've decided to give it my best go around. Lots of the modification's I've done are gladly observed(borrowed) from others. I don't always get a chance to take pictures of my modifications but would be more than willing to explain what I did to accomplish them. If they don't make sense, criticize away, sometimes my thought process doesn't always make sense to myself =D
Little bit about myself..
..I've been a Sand Dune fanatic for all my life. I was riding quads when I was barely able to walk according to my Dad and friends. I've been through my share of accidents which lead partly to my current situation. I'm 240lbs, trying to lose weight. I used to weight 300lbs, just hard to when your limited and not a lot of support as most think i'm 'fine'. I've had 2 back surgeries going on a 3rd that I'm trying to avoid. I no longer play with my quads or dirt bikes and have now use my 4Runner to hit the sand. My back problems are partly due to my 'stupidity' on the quad along with Degenerative Disc Disorder, Facet Disease to just name a few.. Enough about that, back to the stuff we all wanna see/hear!
I bought a 1997 4Runner back in 2010. I did the e-locker, gear, all the work on her before I had to sell her. I'm unable to shift repeatedly as it causes my disc's to flare up and pushed me to get rid of her. Picture of her right completed before I sold it.
I couldn't shift anymore and had to get rid of it for my 2013 Toyota Tacoma..
My son and I walked away from this accident. Screw Subaru Commercials!!
To heal and move on my son and I purchased our current vehicle a 2014 Toyota 4Runner TEP. Could NOT be happier.
This is right before Tires and Toytec Spacer Lift. I had a problem replacing it with what I wanted due to it being so new. I'm sure before 3 years is up i'll have my Icon 'X' setup..
