I picked up a second 10 day Camping cooler. Used the first one going through Estes Park, Jackson hole, and Yellow stone it kept everything frozen solid with a little dry ice almost the whole trip. I saw one in the return section of sam's club for 150 so I couldn't turn it down. Now I can use one as a freezer box and only open it once a day and use the second to keep things cool.

They are great coolers and are bear proof the only down side is they can get heavy fully packed.
 
Saturday

Finally got off pavement, too bad we were looking for our run away quadcopter.

Spent all morning yesterday enjoying the sun, and cleaning inside and out, only to find out that it was going to rain for the next few days...

How do you access this area? Any chance of stuff sliding under where you can't reach it?

Take off the rear floor cover by removing the two anchors then lifting it off. Then each side panel comes of. All just clips. Pull hard. Remove the carpeted panel from the base. Mark out the hole and cut the base. Be sure to leave one rectangle tab hole front and rear on each base plate for the carpeted cover to snap into. Put it all back together. Then you just have to lift off the cover with your finger at the front by the wheel well. Small things can get lost on there but small tool kits and tie downs and things work perfect.
 
Got my shovel & double Jerry can mounts installed. Oh and smoked a little sunday ham on the Rec Tec :)

I installed my SPC UCA's and took out a half inch top plate spacer from Toytec and raised my 5100's from 0 lift to .85 and it sits level with the rear now.. Before with the 2.5" and .5" spacer the front was still a tad lower than the rear. So it's perfect now. I also changed my front sway bar bushings, the 4 that are on the front bar. I had rattles up front before and now they're gone. It very well could have been my uca's(my driver side oem uca had a tear in the boot i think from where it makes contact with the springs after it's lifted) or my bashed up skid plates that i removed since I'm waiting on those RCI skids from the group buy, or it could have been the sway bar bushings, I don't know. I'm just glad they're gone.

Debugging plus

After a spring break trip to Orange Beach AL I was just planning on doing a quick debugging of the front of the 4runner. I think I killed at least 5000+ of those suckers on the trip and it's always a lot easier to get them cleaned off as soon as you can. Well the quick debugging soon went ahead and turned into a full debeaching of the 4runner and 3 hours later and a good full detail I was done. It always feels great when you get done doing a good cleaning I think. By the way, I love the look of my TRD wheels but man they are pain to clean! Thankfully I now have a good slim brush that really helps. I would have taken a quick pic of the final outcome of my work but the sun had already set and it was Miller time for sure. You guys already know what a clean white 4runner Pro looks like anyway.
 
Took some photos ..

Took my baby on some dirt for the first time since the new tires/lift. Tried Table Mesa Road (north of Phoenix) however it was closed (imagine that). I got a little ways though. Even saw a fellow White 2014/15 Trail Edition crossing the Agua Fria River.




that looks really good man! how do you like those tires? I've been thinking about getting those.. I imagine there's some impact to MPG and road noise right? is it tolerable? I think the badass looks outweighs the downsides though in my mind! I might do those tires and plastidip the rims :D :rockon:
