Thanks! Nice to see another LE owner going the way of the "UnLimited
UNLIMITED - Love it!
Have you noticed any noticeable decline in mileage with the Dura Tracs?
Any rubbing? I slab out to CA every year - 6,800+ miles RT - mileage is already horrendous with the 4 Runner; and although would like to have the greater
Off Road ability with an "all terrain" tire, don't want to sacrifice much mileage
either.

Very nice. Like the graphics. Why the wires from the Gobi to the brush guard?

Great idea! All the pix on here and have never seen that before. Of
Course most of the photos are of guys running around in the desert - few trees!

The reason you don't see it here is if you actually need it then the paint of your vehicle is going to be trashed by branches and brush. Dedicated trail rigs is where it would be most useful and even then it will only keep the crap off the hood and windshield, not the front, sides or top. I used to have a Jeep (25 years ago) that I had modded for this purpose.

Ahhh ha. Don't think I will ever be that aggressive in Off Road. I mean
$40,000 +. For the Runner, sure don't want to bash it up!
OBTW. See you are the moderator; if this thread is going to keep going can
you can change the headline? I mean it just SCREAMS -
KHJPHOTO is a dumb shit! LOL

Brush wires
Living in the East Tennessee area, we have lots of narrow trails and overgrowth. We bought the truck to go Overlanding/off-roading, we have lots of pinstripes already, but now that I have the front bumper with the cables it helps.

Mine's still mall-rated and chrome...
Planning on blacking out the chrome, likely wheels and tires to follow.
So far, it hasn't disappointed me anywhere I've tried to go.

What is the flat box you have on the back end of your rack? I've been looking for a storage box that's low profile that doesn't cost a fortune. Pelican?

Neither do I. I also fish like this...
Please don't think I am one of the many "Starbucks" cruisers. I imagine, from what I have seen, that there are many on here that have never seen a back road
or trail. I have seen many a mile on my prefered ride for many years:
Ophir Pass
Back country around Mormon Lake
Now, with the purchase of the 4Runner, just trying to tap into the knowledge some of you guys have with experience in the FOUR wheel adventure.
