Also waiting at my door step today, is the Low Range Lift Kit I ordered a week and a half ago! I'll get that installed tomorrow!

My 4Runner is coming along! I need to modify my white fenders to be like these and cut some window pieces to fit the cargo glass.

Finally painted my cargo drawer, added a barrel bolt, and finished stocking it.
Gear: SOG folding shovel, SOG Revolver Seal (fixed blade knife/saw combo), SOG FastHawk, 4 Ratchet Straps, Cargo net for the basket, 2 locking straps for my surfboard when it's up there, Adventure Medical Kit Mountain Weekend, Emergency Bivvy, and SOL Hybrid 3 Kits, random bungee cords, and still room for dog leashes and an E-Collar. Jumper cables and Tow strap in the back. Only thing left is a flashlight, which I will probably acquire this weekend.

Nice 600 lumens is crazy bright, I have a few streamlight's but my favorite is this Fenix

Fenix LED Flashlight- TK15 S2

I need to do this mod, but the summers are brutal out here and I'm worried the battery in the flashlight will leak or explode....LOL 115 degrees outside equals 150+ inside the car.

That has happened to the last few mag lights I have kept in my cars over the years here.
 
That looks really cool! How much time have you spend on it so far?

BTW, have you seen this video posted by [MENTION=45721]adam2562[/MENTION]?

Maybe 2 hrs on the Lego Digital Designer, 2 hrs getting bricks from Lego and Bricklink, and an hour last evening getting the proportions right. The brick modding will be a pain and I'll probably do a few more kaizans before I finish it proper. This is my creative outlet.

Turns out that my original 4Runner design would have made a better Land Cruiser (80 or 100), so I might build that down the road. That 150 video is freaking awesome.
 
I actually got my rig washed yesterday and you cannot believe the difference. It's a 2011 bought new and this is the first time it got washed.
 
Ahhhh...ok thanks

All u need to make this is a drill, tape measure, a few nuts n bolts, and metal... the metal that I used was a u chaped metal peice that u can purchase at home depot and only cost me under $30 to do everything. I can send u a diagram of what I did if you want. Lmk

Today I took the 4R to a pretty remote work site to check on the security situation. Anyway, the 4R handled 40 or so miles of hardpack caliche and blow sand easily... and COMFORTABLY. 45-50 mph in a pickup or Tahoe just beats me to death. Not in the 4R.. makes me a happy guy. I took advantage of the sunset & rain cloud cover for some gorgeous poser pics....
