Smallfrye's 2010 Trail Edition Build

[smallfry]

Great Sand Dune National Park and Blanca Peak from Mt. Herard.



You can just make out the road from Medano Pass that leads into the park.

One of the 4runner from camp, yesterday morning.

I used to live in Colorado 10 years ago and the pictures of your random trips throughout the year makes me want to move back. Nice build so far.

You and I sir have similar taste in fine vehicles. I find it very ironic that you've owned a Golden Pearl 3rd and this TE. Before I bought my Golden Pearl 3rd Gen, I was close to buying the same color 5th Gen TE. Looking forward to see what you have i store for this one!

Tried to get from Colorado Springs to Woodland Park via Rampart Range road this morning but got stopped by this snow drift. So close you could where people stopped on the other side.



Oh, well at least the 4runner got out to play some.

Between Eleven Mile Reservoir and Spinney Mountain Reservoir this morning.

A small and stupid simple change while I wait for the rear lower links to come in from Sonoran Steel.

TRD shift knob


TRD shift knob vs stock shift knob, what a bulky item,

They are done, I finished then Thursday, I wanted to let them hang for a few days and the paint harden up. I'll make a shipping label tomorrow, Sunday.

Got around to installing the rear lower links from Sonoran Steel this morning.

New links:


Old vs new:


Still waiting to install the gas tank skid from Shrockworks and a new washer bottle from ExpeditionOne.

A chunk of steel arrived today - Shrockworks fuel tank skid.

Tooling around southern Colorado.

Finally, got rid of that meep, meep horn. This is just the low tone horn, I still have the high tone that I can install but I'm happy just with this even.




Short sound clip of the new horn.

Here is too another 100000 miles.

In search of La Liendre, New Mexico.

Two small updates:

ExpeditionOne washer bottle:



Shrockworks fuel tank skid: ended up taking it to Armorology to do the install to fab up a bracket for the left rear since there was no provisions for a bracket and the right rear bracket needed to be adjusted since it didn't fit correctly.



Left rear bracket that got fab up.


Next to reinstalling my CB these will be the last two MOD's for awhile. I want to finish paying it off before throwing bumpers on it.
