Smallfrye's 2010 Trail Edition Build

This isn’t what I used and worked great. I did it twice last week. I broke one clip/stud but they are easy to replace. It feels like your gonna break it but you shouldn’t. The warmer the interior the better as well

Ya, I had looked that when I was looking at doing this. I didn't break any of the clips this time but if I pull the panel again I might.

This is why I had to pull the panel - About 2 weeks ago while attempting to change the rear license plate lights one of the screw heads snapped off and another one stripped out. So I had to replace the rear trim panel and found a broken clip as well that holds the light. Got to love rust.



I probably could've super glued the clip but I was worried about screwing up the hole trying to get the broken screw out, so I just ordered a new trim piece and transfer parts over.

New wiring project and I'm still trying to figure out why I bought it. :crazy::shrug:

Lightforce 20" combo single row LED, Slee switch and different mounting brackets that will work with the Shrockworks supplied bumper holes. No it's not blue thats just the protective cover over the lense.

 
Got the light bar and switch installed.





I have small enough hands that I was able to feed the switch up to the blank without having to remove anything.

It will probably grow on me but I'm not quite sure how I like the looks of the light bar. My last two 4runners I've had the 170 Strikers installed (round) and I kind of like that look a little better.
 
Went back to Moab today to get some more mountain biking in on Slickrock trail (crazy windy on that trail today and got blown sideways a number of times) and to drive Fins and Things - well the first section.

Haven't wheeled a lot like this for awhile and I was grinning by the time I got done. Good times.

La Sal Mountains




Short video - my cinematography and video skillks are severely lacking.

Taking a chance on a leather wrap steering wheel from a salvage 4runner. I'll know Monday if it was a good decision or not. Pictures weren't that great to tell the condition.
 
The salvage yard steering wheel came in today and is actually in better condition that I thought



I've been researching and researching to make sure I don't screw it up and taking LawnDart advice in another thread to 'Fear the airbag'. :wacko:

Went back to Moab this weekend for some more mountain biking at Navajo Rocks (made the big loop minus Middle Earth) and Moab Brands (Bar M to Circle O to Rockin to Bar B to Long Branch and a portion of Deadmans' Ridge since my right shoulder had enough. Not going to hurt again) yesterday.

Then today it was out to Willow Springs road to Eye of the Whale to Marching Men (to a point) then to Salt Valley road. On a prior trip I just drove out to Marching Men from Salt Valley and Eye of the Whale from Willow Springs road but not the 4x4 route in between. If you are in Moab hit up this section of 4x4 trail is kind of fun, didn't take many photos from it.

From Coney Islands trail.


Willow Springs Road


Between Eye of the Whale and Marching Men


Marching Men


In 2015 when I visited this area I chickened out at the top of the trail and didn't make the descent down. This time I went up.



Salt Valley road was a quick exit from the park and I won't want to be on it when it's wet. Good tip overall.
 
Got the leather steering wheel installed last night and it wasn't bad as I thought to install it. I like the feel of the leather steering over the original wheel.

It works fine for my needs and I haven't had any issues with it. I'm just using a Lil Wil mag mount antenna.
 
Decided to finally installed the newer head unit I picked up a while ago following some of the information on some other threads. I'll see if the blue and orange contrast grows on me or not (I may try to switch it out later down the line).

Poor cell phone photo



The one item I haven't got figured out yet and I'm trying to look though some other threads is that USB doesn't work. Doesn't detect it and is grayed out as a selection.

That SFA12F cable is too bloodly long.
