Light Bar Wiring
I remember someone asking about how I ran my wirnig for my Light Bar and here is how I did it.
I'm pretty happy with the results over all and can't complain as it hasn't had any problems. I use my 'fish sticks' to pull my wires through my frame rails from the Engine Bay to the Spare Tire. I need to pull another circuit back from the Front for future, but I now have a pull string and will just pull 3 wires versus 2, using one of the other wires as my pull string.

Here is my recent trip with the family. I'm not liking my new 40mm to 150mm lens. .but I don't have a super nice camera. But they still capture memories and when my camera gets wet, I just shrug

Well my overland trip I was going to do on Labor day weekend just went sideways. I had undergone the spinal cord simulator trial with great success. I scheduled the real deal and that was on Friday the 28th. I wake up from the surgery and couldn't move the lower half of my body, I was paralyzed, I could feel if someone was touching it so I knew from my dr that I could get some of it back, maybe not all but some. So emergency removal of a blood clot at my T9. I'm ICU, no idea when i'll be released or back onto my 4runner as everything took a giant 2 step back. But now that i'm in the hospital, i'll have lots of time to browse the forums and offer my 2cents.
[MENTION=124732]LawnDart[/MENTION] - due to all the rain they re-opened TSF, but I can't go now..but I will take you on a trip, also looking at a new overland trip from Browns camp area to Gearhart all 'off' road'. I hope your getting some use out of that ICON as i'm being told its been raining, lol.
Thanks all who have helped me build my rig with their ideas. I'll keep you posted incase things change and I wouldn't be able to go explore(trying to NOTthink about this side of it).

Dude, speedy recovery. I'm sorry to hear about the setbacks, but it's a marathon and not a sprint. Take it easy and you'll be back in the truck soon as your body is ready.
No driving in the past few weeks. Suspension tweaks in prep for the CBI bumper which goes on in the next 1-2 weeks.
Thanks for the update!

Thank you. Hardest thing is everyone is concerned if I'll be able to legally drive again. ..sigh
So I may have some 5th gen components coming up for sale (underbody armor from Shrockworks. Yes they have been used, but I live in the PNW. I have had to get rid of a lot and this 3rd Gen linked below is now my Daily Driver (which I have trouble getting into it, but its comfortable to drive).
Kotrins New to him 3rd Gen Adventure Thread - Build???
Its an automatic (all work will be completed by my Dad and a shop). I will miss the 'new' vehicle and all of the great reading of the 5th gen's as I won't frequent as often to read, I'm happy I can walk so I could that as a plus but still having a lot of problems. Everyone enjoy the winter time, exploring and crazy off roading. I appreciate EVERYONE's advice and information I 'borrowed' from reading about your builds to apply to mine. Thank you and have a wonderful Holiday and Happy New Year.
PS- that is my new build link up between each rambling...been 3 month's since I've been out of my apartment and going to do my FIRST outing tomorrow to 'see' snow hopefully..
