Schmitty's Black 4runner Build

[SchmittyUSAF]

I'm was stationed in Anchorage, Alaska where I bought my 2015 TE 4runner with 9000 miles. I've been modifying vehicles since I was 16 but this is my first 4x4. I wanted a vehicle I could drive forever that I could build to go anywhere and do anything. I found gold with my 4runner. Its everything I wanted so i picked it up and started my build. To warn everyone. I didnt buy this to take out mudding and wheeling every chance but more a vehicle I could daily drive reliably and be able to go wherever I want. And it's been everywhere from malls to remote Alaskan highways pulling my side by side the whole way.

My wife and I moved to Virginia and we hit our first trail and camping trip. It wasn’t super difficult but was definitely a good time. This was to the top of Flagpole Knob in northwest Virginia.
