Edit:
Looks good buddy! Do you have any pictures of your instals and already done mods? I would love to see them.

Thanks Nate, Yeah I do have some pictures of installs and what not, but not with me. Family member is borrowing my laptop that has my build thread photos on it. I'll get them up tonight if I have time.:banana:

The Runner was Rackless for a few days while the rack was properly powder coated flat black. It looked naked without it, I couldn't get used to it. I was so excited to get it back, it looked so much better than spray paint. My bro and I put it back on in the pouring rain :rain: It was worth it! I also decided to sell the Brush Guard and save up for a proper bumper.

We took a trip up to the Calahans, a local spot up in the mountains everyone goes to offroad, ride atv's, and target shoot :gun4: (Bottom picture)

The day I picked her up!! 110,000 miles to her name. :eyebrows:
And a few days later, before leaving for a mountain bike trip.

Where are you at in Oregon? I'll probably be living there in about a year, when out of the Army.

I grew up in the Seaside area.

**edit

Are those Kenda Small Block 8's? If so, how do you like them? I have 4 of them, brand new that I took off my bikes... If you like them, I could probably get them to you.

Also- does your tail gate have a VIN sticker on it? Emblems are in weird places. Makes me think it may have been replaced?

I was just in seaside like two weeks ago! I live in Roseburg currently. I will be moving to the Portland, OR/Washington area in about two weeks.

Those are Kenda Small Block 8's, good eye man :boink: I like them alot for summer riding, but they are no good in the mud. They have very good traction for trail riding with light mud, lots of moss, and wet rock. But they cake up in the serious mud.

My tailgate does not have a VIN sticker. What do they look like?
What do you do in the Army? I'm currently in the Air National Guard in Portland.

I had similar results with my Small Block 8's on a previous bike... Not so good for riding in the area I am.

Every panel of your 4Runner should have a sticker with the vin number on it. About 1/2" x 3 inches I'd say? Easiest one to find would be when you open the back doors, should be one on the wheel well area. The tailgate one is somewhere alone the edge of the tailgate... I forget where exactly. It's one way to see if a panel has been replaced due to rust, collision, whatever.

In the Army I am a 12B/12T. Combat Engineer/Technical Engineer. Moreso the Combat part... Stationed in Ft. Lewis, WA. Currently over in Afghanistan.
