**RiDE T4R Build** 2011 LE Zombie Crusher

[MENTION=68685]Ducmonsta[/MENTION] and I just finished up our itinerary for Overland West. The rig will be in the Teardrips NW booth. Stop by and say hi, would love to put some names to faces.

Just some pics from the last few weeks of travel and exploring. These are from Corbett, OR. and Pacific City, OR.

i really like your build. its nice to see it going through its progression and not everything all at once. I've gone through almost your entire thread and i guess i didn't catch this the first time though but i really like the placement of your stickers. I'm not a huge fan of under the hood or on the windows. This to me seems like the perfect placement. its discreet and a nice touch IMO. I may have to steal this from you.

Nice...look forward to it and also...Do you need a pass to drive on that beach OP?
 
@ridet4r I know you have a 3rd row with a fridge in the back....do you have a slide or anything or just tie it down?

Beautiful looking 4Runner RiDE!!

Looking at your interior mod list, you mention Madhouse Design Gun Control system, and I was wondering if you could show a few pics of how you have it set up.
 
Here's a pic from the most recent snow storm here in Portland. The other 3 pics are from a trip through Trask mountain to Pacific City, OR.

Hi RiDE, When able, how much space do you have between your table and the top of the roof. I am thinking of modding my sharkfin on my rig to accommodate and just need a measurement.

Here's a pic of how I have it mounted.

You have about a 1/4", if that.

[MENTION=136795]Irishcav17[/MENTION]- I just secure the fridge to the tie down points in the back.
 
Just a few updates on the rig.

Factor 55 was gracious enough to send over their UltraHook in Safety Yellow to replace the Flatlink E I had on there. I've been very happy with Factor 55's quality. Super easy install for a very solid quality product.

RCI Offroad was also very gracious in sending over the rest of their 1/4" aluminum skids to complete my skid package from them. I received the transmission skid, transfer case skid, fuel tank skid in 1/4" aluminum and their steel rear diff skid. I already had the engine skid plate and A-arm skids in aluminum. Very happy to have the underbelly completely protected again. Thanks to [MENTION=68685]Ducmonsta[/MENTION] for the install help and garage space as always.

Got some big things in the works but can't share them just yet. 2017 has been incredible so far. This camping season is going to be awesome! I will also be at Overland West in May at the Teardrops NW booth with [MENTION=68685]Ducmonsta[/MENTION]. Come say hi!

Here are some recent pics of the rig:

Woah. It's been an incredible 3 months since my last post in this thread. So much has happened since then. So many pics and vids to go through. The biggest thing is the newest addition to our family, the Ambush teardrop by Teardrops NW. This addition has been a game changer for my family. Our camping game has definitely been elevated. It's made traveling and camping so much more comfortable for my wife and 2 year old daughter when we have a rolling queen size bed at the ready with baltic birch walls surrounding us (glamping). Big thanks to [MENTION=68685]Ducmonsta[/MENTION] for making all of this happen!

In the last 6 weeks my family and I have traveled close to 6,000 miles and about 850 miles offroad with the new Ambush teardrop. We've had no issues whatsoever. Just pure comfort. The maiden voyage for it was to Overland Expo West last month which was a 2 week trip. Then we took it down to the northern california area for a little over a week. Then a week later I took it on section 2 and 3 of the Washington Back Country Discovery Route to end up at the Northwest Overland Rally in Washington.

The Ambush weighs 1750 fully loaded with all of our gear and food. The 4runner doesnt really feel that it's there. With a 200lb tounge weight, it tows and tracks perfectly behind the rig.

I've got a good amount of pics to go through and WILL post up. But for now, this will have to do.

I'm installing the 3inch toytec boss lift and running 18 rims. I really like your tires and leaning towards getting some 295 myself. Did you have to do any cutting for fit?

Sorry just seeing this now.

Yes I had to remold the liners and BMC.

updated pic from 7/22/18.
Sold the entire rack setup. It feels like a whole new truck. Response all around has been drastic. Definitely staying reckless for a little while. I will also put my side ladder back on eventually.
