No he didn't ,, awesome thanks I'm definitely going to pick them up. Thanks for the link! For now I just mounted it on the other swing arm but I'm probably going to fab up something up to carry a couple Rotopax next to the ladder and attach a license plate bracket to that.
A few more pics that I snapped today with the swing outs opened up.
I also engaged my Elocker today and Welded up some lower link skids (forgot to take pics) and wouldn't you know it after spending half the day at my buddy's shop I get home and there's a box sitting there with my CaliFab upper links. I thought for a second about installing them in the driveway but I'm getting ready to head out on a 5 day run tomorrow so too much to do and not enough time. I also fabbed up some L brackets for my new ARB awning which I'm going to mount up in the morning. I should have some great pics to follow from this trip.
Say whaaaaaat? Does that mean you finished the wiring? Haha.
That thing is looking amazing- like you need to take a road trip to tear it up in the Black Hills

Well technically the wiring has been done since about a week after my locker install haha I just had to take out the locker motor and manually lock the locker on and then install the switch and switch it on then put the motor back in so it's matched up right. But it's been acting a little finicky, idk if it's because it hasn't been used in awhile but I had to tap it with a hammer a little while hitting the switch to get it to go back and forth. Then it was working fine after that. Idk maybe the motor is on its way out? I checked and found a used one for $250.
Oh I am we already went wheeling today and have a 4 day trip planned leaving tomorrow morning heading up the NH and then over to VT spending a majority of the time on the trail and class 6 roads. I also used the locker today and I worked great! It was awesome, I walked right up a couple pretty difficult obstacles. Got a little to close on one and kissed a tree and well I need a new taillight now. The pushbar worked great though and stopped and body damage right there.
Well the New Hampshire Overland Challenge got cancelled last minute unfortunately, still not 100% sure why? Some said because of logistics and others because it wasn't completely filled up. So since we all had taken the time already we decided to go out on a Overland adventure of our own! We took our two teams plus one extra truck on a 5 day run starting in Massachusetts running a NEA property which was full of great trails and is also where I kissed a tree with my tail light despite my new push bars on my bumper, and also where [MENTION=76550]cbielat[/MENTION] blew out his tail light as well. The next day we headed up to New Hampshire to run the LMFT trails ( Little Monadnock Family Trails) which were amazing! Super technical and some of the most challenging trails I've ever run but at the same time the most fun! I almost ripped my driverside mirror off on a tree a but managed to save it with good spotted and well choosing a different line haha. Then we headed up to Vermont for the last 2 days to run the trail from the Vermont Overland Trophy. Where I ended up ripping off and destroying my snorkel head.
All in all it was an amazing trip and we couldn't of had a better crew of friends and rigs to run it with. The truck as always out performed my expectations,,, especially now since this is one of the first Official runs I've done where I really got to wheel it with the Gears, locker and new tires together. The 4Runner was amazing and pretty much walked up just about everything I threw it at! A few of us came away with a little bit of trail damage here and there but it was totally worth it in the end!!!!
Yeah seriously man it was awesome!!! We definitely need to make it a yearly thing! Every year we can go and explore new territory and trails, that would be Soo Overland

Hell yeah! More than a yearly thing but definitely hit that territory again and expand from there. I'd like to do a bit more of the traversing across states all on trails and not hitting pavement unless when we absolutely have to. Still making sure we hit as many of the crawling type of trails as we can.
I don't think I mentioned it after the last trip that on the last night while going up a trail in the dark after it started to down pour( basically a combination for a good time) a low hanging pretty big tree branch ripped off my snorkel head and mashed up pretty good. So I decided since I was going to have to order a new one anyways I would have some fun with the old one and enjoy the Halloween/Fall season!
