I took Megaweapon out for some serious off-roading....
I got tired of exploring and off-roading in all the usual places, so I decided to go somewhere really remote.
It took some doing, but I finally found a spot that was WAY off the beaten path. Only three or four other
vehicles have ever even been there, and most of the place was completely unspoiled.
It's pretty desolate, though. Makes Death Valley look like Yosemite. Not a plant in sight, much less any
wildlife. But I had the whole place to myself and could go anywhere I wanted. Here's a pic...

On the downside, it was a lot colder than it looked, and the atmosphere left something to be desired.

diodedynamics tail as turn + brake mod, took the time to tap in some wires for some auxiliary tail/stop/turn leds. Had it on my previous truck, and had a spare set lying around. All led based tail llghts now.
also installed xenondepot h11 hid kit in 5000k
No. Cheapest option it's $9.99. But worth it to me. From what I hear some dealers are hesitant to turn off seatbelt chimes.was that the free version?
Got inspired today by this thread:$4 Window Screens
Found these brown versions at Lowes...$1.97ea. A little trimming over 20min or so and it was all done.
This is just brilliant! Now just need to figure out how to do a "rain hood" version.
Did you swap out your fog lights as well?
Is this the kit you went with? I'm wanting to do the same thing, but wondering why I shouldn't go with a less expensive kit from a site like "HID Extra." Also, did you get the kit with or without CANbus?

No. There is just enough depth on the sides to put the left side in first and then the right side. Center it and then slide the bottom vent channel on to the window. That holds it in place. Roll up carefully and the top sits in the upper channel. Nice also that it flexes a bit to get just the right tension in the space. It would probably be a good idea to add some tape over the left and right sides where it was trimmed...also would help it slide in the channel without damaging the seals.
Only gap is a slight area rearward where the window glass tapers down....just enough to run a power cord in to my fridge.
Hit up Last Chance Canyon near Mojave, CA. The group was made up of my Trail Premium, a buddy's 5th gen Limited, another buddy's 4th Gen, a 1st gen 4Runner, and a Wrangle TJ. Hit some technical spots that had changed since the last time, conditions had really changed due to the wet season since last September. Smashed up some of the skids, will have to check visually in the morning.

Video from the day.
I think my buddy and I drove past you guys on Saturday late afternoon. He has a 1st gen and I have a 5th gen. Were you guys camping out past Jawbone I forget the road but its like Ep15 or at last close to the road to Schmidt tunnel?
Did you make the receiver hitch plug in helper? I need one of those!Used the "utility" part of SUV. Brought home some steel to build a utility trailer. After changing the oil for the fist time myself - holy shit it's a lot of work to save about $10. Probably won't do that again myself. Got started building, but I only had around 3 hours so I got about half way done. These trailers are super easy to build. It's pretty easy if you have the right tools to build one and paint it in one day. This isn't my first rodeo. The first one took a bit longer.
The advantage to building myself is that I get a flat deck trailer without the side rails. The rails make a truss in the factory little utility trailers and use lighter steel that's cheaper and lighter - but less useful for me. I also get a 3,500lb axle so it'll haul some weight and I can pick the hub pattern. This one isn't intended to be an "offroad" trailer, but maybe the next one. For now I just need something to haul construction materials for a few home projects in the next couple months. Then I'll sell it and maybe build an offroad version with matching 4runner wheels and probably just a bit smaller with a longer tongue and a sealed locking box.
Anyway more of a did *with* my 4runner than *to* it other than the oil change and removed the snowplow mount for summer. The 4runner really is a master of multi-use vehicle.
