Sleeter's build and adventure thread

[Sleeter]

Well folks I figured I'd post a build and mostly adventure thread. I traded our 2012 Subaru Outback Premium in for a 2016 super white trail premium With KDSS. Prior to the Subaru I have owned Jeep TJ (lifted), GMC Sierra, and Jeep YJ (Lifted) so when I decided I wanted another off-road vehicle I chose the 4Runner for its reliability and comfort.

1. OME 3' lift with medium coils
2. National Luna intelligent Dual Battery Controller w/ Optima blue top

6. ARB 2500 Awning
7. Indel B Fridge and slider

9. RCI armor: Sliders, Engine, T-Case, Trans, Fuel tank, A-Arms.
10. Dedicated 12v Fridge outlet in cargo area
11. Plasti-dip hood and front emblem and lip
12. Vision X Light Cannon ditch lights mounted on CBI brackets.
13. Yakima Skybox 16
14. Borla cat back exhaust- Crushed stock muffler
15. Sylvansport Go adventure trailer- Coolest camper ever

Installed Southern Style Off-road slimline bumper with Engo 900 winch and 25" lightbar. Install took about 3 hrs with 2 of us.

Wow, off to an impressive start. How many cans of plasti-dip to paint the hood?

 

[Sleeter]

Spent the day cruising around Green Ridge State Forest checking out all the camp sites and testing my new drone.

Here is a video of theBEAR and I having a blast at Rousch Creek last weekend. We ran into king.cong.1119 on the trail. During this trip I blew a CV joint and crushed my muffler, all is fixed today.

Looks really good! Like the hood, for sure! Now she needs to get dirty.

 

[Sleeter]

Took a drive today and went to Shenandoah National Park checking out the campgrounds on the North end.

 

[Sleeter]

Added a Sylvansport Go trailer to my adventure gear! Now I have plenty of room to bring bikes, kayaks, a atv, kids toys, and kitchen gear on adventures.

Went camping this weekend. Refining the setup before venturing out into dispersed camping.

Hiked to a hidden swinging hole

Installed my waterport. It's badass. I can't wait to take a shower after a long day on the trail.

Check out my Instagram for a video.

Is that the rigid bar or generic?
How do you like the light bar?

Generic- it's bright and has a good pattern.

4runner is looking good boss!!!

Video from a hike to a secret swimming hole in the George Washington National Forest. Its mainly a Family video but the 4Runner is at the end, briefly. Enjoy.

Went exploring the Flagpole knob area of the George Washington National Forest outside of Harrisonburg VA.

The off-road trails are pretty mellow, nice and relaxing.

Flagpole Knob has great views and felt 10 degrees cooler than the valley floor.

Headed home to Colorado and was able to rent a stock 2016 sr5. Took it off road today and was surprised how well it did.

How do you like the SylvanSport? I've been looking at these online for a while. I'd love an Airstream Basecamp but $$$$$. Have you used your SylvanSport in cool weather? We do fall camping and I'd like something that allows you to zip shut all of the mesh inserts. I can't tell from the pics if all of the mesh zips shuts with nylon panels. Thanks in advance.

What brand/model rear cargo slider is that?

We love it, it a perfect trailer for me and my family. We haven't used it yet it cold weather but we will this fall and winter. The windows have three layers: mesh, clear vinyl, then nylon. You can zip up the clean vinyl Windows to keep the wind out but let in light.
