RedRunner's 2016 SR5 Build and Adventure Thread

I mean it didn't stop you on all those adventures right? ATRACK was enough to get through.
Did you ever feel a need for more features? Just wondering :)

I had a 3rd Gen that was E-locked and it was awesome. I haven't "needed" a locker so far. I have taken it on some pretty rough trails, especially Top of the World in Utah. Whenever I re-gear I plan on putting an e-locker in, but never felt the need so far and I don't feel not having has hindering my exploration.
 
UPDATE time

Got the CaliRaisedLED dual function button installed for the new light bar

Death Valley 2022
Day 0

Day 0 was the meet up day. The whole group was arriving from different areas, 2 from Arizona and the rest from all over Colorado. Since it was such a long day we figured we would meet up right outside of Las Vegas, so we could get an early jump on getting in Death Valley on Day 1

The trip started with a 13 hour drive for me!

Saw this cool lifted Rav4 though

The traffic outside of was unreal. I did not expect this much traffic, we ended up having to detour through a small town due to the highway closure

Day 1

Day 1 was a pretty easy day. Mostly just dirt desert roads, hit up Bad Water Basin and some of the other tourist traps.

The crew is ready to go!

Day 4

On this day we hit the Dunes and Steele Pass. Steele Pass was definitely an adventure. Unfortunately most of the shots taken were video, so I will have to edit them all together. When I do it will be posted here.

Steele Pass. We ended up having to winch the Colorado out when he got his awning hung up on the canyon wall.

Is this your boot? It seems like they clean up the Junction every so often. My buddy was there not to long before we went in April and he didn't recognize any of the kettles. We are assuming it was cleaned up around Jan/Feb

IDK, we were there feb 21-27, and that pic was towards the end of the trip. we saw the pizza one, and many others look like they match up.

Day 5

This was a relatively short day. We hit Star Wars Canyon and then Trona Pinnacles . Trona was an absolute crap show. So freaking windy there!

We decided to move the horns and install the Winch Control Box in this location and mount the horns on the hood latch bracket.
