Here's the rest.. I must give credit where credit is due. That Reese hitch step was Titan Pat's idea and he made the first one. I found a guy however that is trying to start his own business and will make you one for $50 + shipping if you're interested. I love that thing.

She's lookin' DAAANNNDDDDDDYYY!!!!:lookout:

You're really jackin' the mods to it. That's a great price for the hitch jammi....I'd be all over it!
 
Nice wheel choice. Truck looks good. Any sway bar clearance issues with the budbuilt front skid? I had clearance issues with the sway bar relocate brackets and wondering for future purchase.

Thanks! It was your idea! It's very useful for me when we go wheelin'….it makes a nice little seat too. :D

Thanks, Bud had told me that they would just bolt right up. I know he used Harper7's Limited as the prototype, but it must be a slightly different configuration than the SR5 because there was a little modification needed to get them on. Nothing however that was too big of a deal and well worth it considering some of the places we go off-roading.
 
Wow that looks really nice .. Inspires me, now I have lots of ideas for my 4runner. Can't wait to see it with a ARB bumper on the front
 
Sam your rig is looking awesome!

Can you tell me a bit about your antenna? Did you lose any AM/FM sound quality?

I hate the stock antenna, this day and age and they still ship with those 3 foot monstrosities!

Thanks, it's a 5" mango walk. I ordered it offline and it seems to be fine as far as reception goes but I listen to XM for the most part.
 
Did some playing out in the snow yesterday, had a good group and good weather.

Thanks, funny you call it a beast, that's it's household name…at least in our house. :biggrin2: Let me know when you're going to be here and we can go hit a trail or two!
 
Arb

Are they going to ship the ARB this year? I know the flyer said Dec. 2010. They look awesome! Do you know the weight by any chance?

I believe they typically weigh about 80-100 pounds empty (no winch or anything installed).
 
End of mods for 2010

Well it's official, I signed over my first born to Bflan for all of his help on my 4Runner. He got me all squared away and we got it finished up today. Last week we worked on getting the bumper on but ran out of time and couldn't get it finished. Today we (Bflan) mounted the fire-stick for the antenna, wired up the Light Force, and managed to get the front skid on. All and all a good day, thanks Bflan!

I actually mounted KC lights on the back about a month ago but never got around to getting pics. I'm going to add two more to detour any "mickey mouse" comments. :boxer:

:cheers:

Are those daystar switches too fat to fit next to each other in the provided slots? I forgot who else had them, but they looked crooked too or maybe its just the angle.

Anyways the truck looks great sam! I'll be in Winter park Jan 3rd-8th, we should all meet up!!!
