Yikes !! Looks like a bear was trapped in there all week. Even [MENTION=65614]Antman[/MENTION] hasn't ripped his up like that.

Quick camping and hiking trip over the weekend.
Never really had much use for the sliding tray until now.

Unloaded my stock running boards today to a new 4Runner owner in the area. More room in the garage now and the wifey won't have to ask when they'll be gone anymore.
And a Pic, just cause :roll:

It is two magnetic mounts that is specific for license plates - very strong hold no issues at all and if you want to take if off during off road use it simply pulls off with some brute force strength (actually pretty easy to remove but holds tight going down the road)

Took it off-road for the first time yesterday and today ran it through a car wash to clean off the dirt. Managed to locate TFL Truck's Cliffhanger 2.0 spur trail and had fun learning the ground clearance limits of a stock TEP, but made it to the top! Took advantage of the RCI group buy last week and ordered some sliders and front skid. Looks like I'll be buying a few more skids in the near future, and likely a lift sooner than I'd planned.

Try skateboarding with a 9 year old after not doing it for 30 years LOL
Busted myself up this weekend.
That's an awesome upgrade BTW!

Thanks, I love it so far! Now it rides like it should.
Every time I see a skateboard, I have flash-backs of some seriously good times, followed by an impending feeling of breaking a hip.

About once a year I take out the last new deck I bought (almost 20 years old now) and try a kickflip. Every year it takes more and more attempts and my wife has her cell phone in her hand in case I bust myself up. That board comes in really handing for moving stuff though...LOL

Got tires for my methods finally
Spent about a week researching tires and worrying about going with p-metric vs LT. Glad I went with the LT for the peace of mind ride didn't change much. Had a slight vibration in the steering wheel ordered some 106 to 108 hub centric rings that cured that issue. Also I don't think the muteki lug nuts were that great of a idea but oh well.
falken wildpeak a/t3-w LT285/70r17
Method NV 17x8.5 +0
bilstein 1.75" front, stock rear
caster +4
toe 0
camber -0.5
Fender liners pushed forward as far as I can get them and about a inch of my bumper trimmed.
No rubbing clears body mount and stock mudflaps, passenger side might rub bumper slightly. Due to the washer fluid bottle being there I'll look into relocating it or pushing it forward or something so as of right now my driver side is cut more then the passenger and easily can fit my hand between the tire and bumper at lock on the driver side and the passenger side needs about a 1/2" cut out to match.
Also drove to work Friday leave my house around 3:30am, 20 minutes into my commute thought I saw something flickering thought it was weird. Then my fogs shut off. Figure maybe the ballast got messed up with the recent rain. Kind of weird both would flat out die at the same time.
Put the stock bulbs back in test if they work and nothing....
Long story short the ballast blew the fog light fuse and that's located under the dash if anyone is looking for it took me about a hour to figure that one out. It's not listed in the owners manual or anything.
So I decided to put the stock 55w bulbs from the headlights in my fogs, they run a little warm but nowhere as hot as those hids ran. Hids always had me worried they would melt the housings. I had to trim the widest tab on both h11 bulbs to make them fit.
Does anyone have any recommendations for leds for the fogs? I loved how bright the hids were and love 3k color for my fogs. I've always used 3k hids in all of my cars for fogs. But hate how cheap most ballasts are and hate how hot hids get in a plastic lens fog light.
