Yeah I’ve camped there a few times. Not much up there besides the upper portion of Bear Creek. There is a better spot off of 1N09 where Bear Creek meets up with the Santa Ana River. You can camp right next to the creek and hike down about 1/4 mile to the aqueduct where the creek and river meet. Might be a little too cold to take a dip in the water but it’s nice during the summer.
The better spot is a little harder to get so try to get there early before someone else snags it. It’s the spot right before the bridge. There is a big tree with shade too.

Yeah I’ve explored pretty much all the trails on that side of the mountain. There are some cool views up there. There is a spot called Keller Cliffs on 1N09 between Bear Creek and 1N16. It’s pretty cool to stop and check out. Not a whole lot going on up there but it’s cool to cruise around the area just to see everything.

Most people here don't have 2nd gens. You'd be better off asking in the classic 4runner subforum or on various 4runner facebook pages. I think you'd probably have to remove your door cards to get to the window stuff. I'm not sure cause I managed to get one with window cranks lol.

Hit it with a sander real quick or a wire brush, then spray it and call it a day.

Why weld if you're inevitably going to need to repaint? Just a thought.

Because I actually use my sliders and the RCI bolt on setup isn't that sturdy with a habit of moving up and blocking the doors after they've had the weight of the vehicle on them. I also had one of the first runs when they first came out for the 4th gens and they weren't angled correctly so the bottom of my doors rub the paint off whenever I open/close the doors. They need to be brought down but there's not enough adjustment without shimming them to get them to stay. Rather just get them welded.

X2 that's what I was thinking...especially the way ol Danny boy uses those sliders lol
Hey [MENTION=142231]Big V[/MENTION] I forgot to ask you when I saw you, are you running just a 4.7 single case? how do you like it, as in do you wish woulda spent more cash and went straight to a double case setup from the beginning

It has to do with the way the sliders bolt on. The slots for the carriage bolts alot an up and down adjustment to position the sliders where you want them. When you put the weight of the vehicle on the sliders (hi lift, boulder, whatever) it slides them in the slot. I can usually just bounce on them a couple times and get the doors to clear again but it's really annoying. Once welded on, should stop all of that movement period. Otherwise they're very sturdy sliders.

Single case...I love the 4.7lo, but I wish I had the stock 2.28 for easy trails, the 4.7 with 5.29s and 5spd tranny get a bit too slow, I shift to 2wd alot between obstacles or cruise in 4th gear. Im going with a twin stick setup soon, already have the shifter just need time to install it. If that doesnt work how i want it to then I'll go duals. Im happy with how it performs in low range, not sure if i'd ever feel the need to double down

Yes it happened after I cut the wires. Today I opened up the doors and manually rolled up the windows by tapping into the motor wires and rolling up the windows that way, so I now know the regulators and motors for the windows are still working. So it has to be a wiring issue.
