Lift looks sick. Just right IMO. Wheels and tires too

Hitch Receiver

I've been stalking long enough now.

Installed a Lexus GX 460 WD receiver on my 5th gen today.

That old headboard is still kicking? :jaw:

Heck ya. I got it from duc at our mall crawl meetup last December. I really like it. I put muddy mountain bike stuff on the bottom all weather mat and repair kit and things I want to keep clean on the shelf. Also use it to dry damp gear without laying it on my seats. Very useful mod.

What did I do today? At 3:20am I evacuated my family to it from my house during a huge earthquake. :wow:

Toyota (nor anyone that I have found to date) seem to offer a version of this type of WD receiver for the 5th gen 4Runner. Also, this hitch requires some "modification" in order to install.

What rear bumper is that on that Silver beauty?

 

[alexb]

Rolled over 10K miles last night in just over 5 months Really racking them up.

I believe he said 4x4 labs, it looked like a very nice setup.

Ours is just bolted to the rear cross member and a class 3. The Lexus one will bolt up to the frame rails and a class 4.

Thats the one and he liked them because they aren't heavy like the others.

My first mod to my T4R TEP! RAM iPhone mount/holder.

I just installed my first mod to my T4R! It was a simple one, but irreversible. I installed a RAM X-grip mount on my dash to hold my iPhone. You can see the final product of the mod below and my write-up is on my build page. Cheers!

 

[Cheers!]

I hope everything is OK....

I felt it down here just outside of San Jose.

Another successful trip home, stomping around SW Colorado and some tweaks to the rig.
Taylor Reservoir near Gunnison

Imogene summit

Camped at the summit of engineer pass, 13k. Woke up with a bit of a headache, but stars and sunrise were amazing.

Girl practicing with the new Canon T3 I got her. Great pics but I have no way to upload them haha. Need to get a laptop

Back in Denver I ran up to Toytec and picked up some spanners to adjust my front coilovers. Picked front up about 3/4" after bumper install. Leveled out nicely, and super easy procedure once I got a cheater pipe.
Also cut up my factory bumper to replace my headlight trim pieces and remounted my vision X light cannons after getting them back from warranty.

I made some brackets at work to facilitate mounting the lights down and back vaguely similar to the [MENTION=74569]SOcalTRAIL[/MENTION] mounting solution.
These lights are huge though so I just cut up my factory grill and they run through it. Not really "conventional" but I really like how it came out.
Cheers!

Any details, tips or tricks? I'm planning to do the same if mine ever shows up.

Added N-Fab Wheel-to-Wheel side steps

I Added some N-Fab Wheel-to-Wheel side steps to my Mag Grey '14 TE today. It was a simple and fun mod.

The only issue/note I would make is that when I used the 13mm socket to remove the factory bolts (per N-Fab's instructions), the bolts would sometimes move around within the socket. When I downsized to a 12mm socket to remove the factory bolts, it worked much better. Adding N-Fab bolts, locks and washers was simple with the 13mm socket per instructions.

Installation of both sides took about 30 minutes with my lady helping to hold the steps in place while I could start hand-threading the bolts. Only 5 bolts per side, 1 in the front, 2 in the middle and 2 at the rear of each tube.

I think the new steps really add to the appearance and usability of the truck! This will make it much easier for my 70 y.o. mother to climb up inside when she visits too.
