**The RickRunner Build**

when you recovered the plastic bits on the door panels with the carbon fiber wrap, was that plastic trim able to be removed easily?

Love your build, very awesome!

Have to get in contact with Element - or "Element by RA Motorsports" to inquire.

I actually did the wrap with the door panels still in place. Just used a heat gun and a super sharp knife to trim and mold the wrap accordingly.
 
It's that time of year once again and as we prep to embark on another awesome journey for 2017, I thought I would take a few moments to share a couple words. It's been a crazy year altogether with my father's unexpected passing in January. A shame but ultimately the catalyst that tipped the scales, and made the decision for my wife and I to quit our corporate jobs in Calgary AB and move to Nelson BC. Admittedly we haven't had much time to take in the scenery with the move, the adjusting to life without Dad, all while learning the ropes in our new town with our new jobs. If there is any certainty, it is that I am utterly and entirely excited for COLOSSAL 2017 more than any year thus far. The summer has been insane with wildfires, arguably the worst in 25 years, and even going as far to completely shut down the backcountry to the public around our little town in the Kootenays. The big dreams of 4x4'ing and exploring all summer have been indefinitely shut down due to Mother Nature's dominant grasp on our reality. I'll post some more details once we air the "official write-up" but this years trip has been planned a total of 3 times. The elements have been battling us for the last two months and now the time has arrived for all the hard work and planning to finally come together in my personal favorite wheeling trip of the year.

That's all for now... stay tuned for the write-up and cinematic experience to follow. ;) A little stoked from the last couple years:

Colossal 2015

Colossal 2016

A couple cool new updates on the truck as well. Just bolted up a set of the new Toyo R/T's. Excited to try them out this weekend.
 
Back from our annual Colossal trip. 2017 was a hit as always despite the crazy ups and downs prior to the event.

Still processing photos and video but a couple teaser shots until we do the write up and the "after-video". Stay tuned.

Mine were the Bora brand spacers. Motosports-tech is the company that makes them and brands them under the Bora name
 
Great looking 4th gen! Super clean. I remember seeing your LC avatar? I could have that wrong, but I thought you had a 3rd gen. I got here via my research of SCS wheels. I had been looking at the gunmetal Ray 10's and F5's. Your and @NateMod kept hitting my radar. Haha... I think I am following along very similar build to Nate's old runner.

I ended up ordering some gunmetal F5's in 3.5" BS. I really dig your clean color scheme. The contrast from your 4runner to darker gunmetal, accented with the polished ring looks sharp.
