You have a great looking runner. One of the few with black wheels I like. I am going camping this weekend but sadly it is in the local angeles mountains and certainly won't be as beautiful as CO.

 

[sn0wrunner]

thanks for the compliment. Im sure you'll still have alot of fun! Post some pics if you can.

 

[DewRunner]

Can someone please tell me what kind of brush guard that is? I really want to do that to my 2000.
The front bumper has to come off..correct?
How difficult of an install is this?
Is there room for a winch?
Thanks!!

Yes the stock bumper must come off, because this is actually a whole new front bumper. It's a TJM-15, (not sure if they are still in production...) If not look into an ARB front bumper. Install is very easy but requires an extra set of hands to hold the bumper up while the other tightens the bolts. So it bolts strait onto where the stock bumper was. And yes it comes capable for a winch. Hope that helps...

A little late but congrats on the 4ROTM. Ive always liked your Runner and it helped inspire the vision I have for mine. Really nice 4Runner and a tribute to the great Toyota community here in the US.

 

[sn0wrunner]

Thanks a lot man. I really like your black grille. Did you do it yourself?

 

[kaiser]

argh! stop being so mysterious about those rims sn0wrunner. I want them! everywhere i look it just says 17"s

 

[sn0wrunner]

lol! The rims are just from discount tire company. Nothing fancy. I think they are unique wheels... Got them a long time ago.

I think they are these ones... I removed the cap in the middle though.

UPDATE...

it's november...

Are we gonna get a new t4rotm?

If not, I vote snow for nov too!!!

 

[sn0wrunner]

hahaha. two months in a row! whoo! lol. I was thinking the same thing.

 

[Aurora4R]

Wow, one of these days I have to go over there. It is very nice.
sn0wrunner, is that trail easy for newbie like me?

 

[sn0wrunner]

If you have 4wheel drive you'll be absolutely fine. I dont think I even needed it till just towards the very top. Its a really nice easy trail with great scenery. Stock suspension will be just fine. Might be a little too snowy now though, you might be outta luck till summer.

I usually go up there at the end of June and do some skiing. Most of the snow doesnt melt till then so you usually cant make it all the way up till mid June. Here are some pics from the skiing though. This was summer of 07

 

[Aurora4R]

Man, those pictures make me just go right now.
What is the exact direction? I could not figure out from your previous post.
Thanks

What's the temperature like during summer skiing/snowboarding? Spring skiing/snowboarding is too warm/hot for my liking.
