How'd you do at Hidden Falls? I'm going in a few weeks with some jeepers and I'm worried how IFS will do keeping up with some jeeps on 35s.

It wasn't actually me out there, I had just had another back surgery and the WWP/Wheelers for the Wounded trip was coming up so I had [MENTION=50563]helo-mech[/MENTION] take my rig up there to help out with the event. It worked out since his rig wasn't ready and he is literally the only person I would trust to take it out there lol.

To be honest you won't have much trouble following jeeps, just make sure to have your tools ready when they break down lol

Hey Mack, have you thought about using one of these for towing? They work great for taking the trailer weight off the tow vehicle.

Ive used those in the past but I don't really need one at this point. I mostly tow car haulers or smaller boats (21ft and smaller). Im also looking to purchase a 6x12 or 7x12 enclosed V-nose for our business over the next 6 months or so to go to events and shows. Ill also be doing more towing once I'm a civilian again so thats why I went ahead and did the trans cooler with the fan since Houston traffic sucks!
 
Macoyle, I'm off 45S and Dixie Farm, buddy! When can I bring my '05 Sport over for the complete interior LED set-up? I gotta say, I was pretty excited to see you were local, man! :cheers: I might ask you to show me a few more of your mods.

Updates on the 4runner:
New Light racing UCA's
Painted calipers and brake job
Flushed and replaced the brake fluid with the motive bleeder
Flushed and replaced the coolant
In the process of the on board air system and train horn setup


SPC UCA's- Unfortunately the passenger side upper ball joint was going out so I decided to upgrade to aftermarket UCAs. While I was doing that I also had a slight shudder while braking so I had the front rotors turned. So while everything was apart I also decided to paint the calipers to match the Toytec red springs. Heres a few pics:







 
My wife and I also had a little trip to make so we snapped a few pics, the airbags took all the sagging away so its a great investment if you tow, heres the pics:



 
Hey man, very nice build you've got going on. I love your lighting. I'm looking to add some LED bars on mine in the near future so I may hit you up if you don't mind. Where did you get your switches from? They look great. Awesome truck, buddy

Getting ready to install the rear airbags, transcooler with fan and switch, rear camera override switch with resisitor so it doesnt trigger the reverse sensor and damage anything. Heres some pics of the switches and Ill update the thread later after I install everything.

The landing lights will be for the rock lights that Ill have under the truck, wheel wells and around the engine compartment.

Where did you get your switches from? I'm having trouble finding some.
 
Update:
Ive got the CBI rear bumper on order!!! I can't wait to get that beast installed, it will finish off the look of the truck finally! [MENTION=64712]CBI OffRoad Fab[/MENTION]

I now have FatMat Rattle-Trap and doubled up on the doors, inside the panel and outside to get the most sound insulation and sound quality. Ive still got to do the floors but that will be down the road when my father in law is in town again-

Here you can see it better, this was during the install of the inside on one of the rear doors:

Hey Mike! Good to see you back on the forum! I hope everything went well with the surgery. Can't wait to see the CBI mounted up.

Thanks Adam! The surgery went well, Im still recovering and will be down for the next few weeks still. My father in law was in town and was able to do the fat mat for me which was awesome of him!
 
Hey, let me know if you need another set of hands to help you mount up the CBI, when the time comes. I'd be happy to help.
