I installed a TRD Skid Plate on my wife’s 2014 4Runner today. Told her it was her birthday present. She ain’t buying that. She knows that I was sick and tired of trying to fit the steel skid plate on after oil changes, because she had bent the shit out of it. I told her it’s like easy on, easy off lingerie.

Went to Cross Bar Ranch in Davis Oklahoma. Found mud, rocks, & climbs. Pretty good time except a wrong turn leading down an ATV trail & getting large pinstripes.

I hate ditch lights, I think they are a a eye sore and have limited useability, so with that said, I installed some crappy chinese made ditch lights that were lying around the house, and I cut up some black light bar cover (from the roof light bar) to keep it low key, and to keep johnny law from ticketing me. I think it turned out okay.

I just swapped out stock rims and tires for some SCS Stealth 6’s and 265/70/17 BF Goodrich KO2’s. My gas mileage went from 18-19 down to 15-16 mpg. I refused to believe my C rated KO2’s caused that big of a hit.

That rig looks like it has never seen dirt.
 
We did Sandstone Canyon. It wasn’t supposed to be this hot (97*) so I guess we just got lucky! I gotta say, we had fun. It wasn’t anything that I’d want to rush back and do, as far as a technical trail, but it was nice to get out into the desert and it was very pretty out there.

[MENTION=81654]Hybryd40[/MENTION] how was the install of the rear pods? I’m thinking of doing the same thing. I set the pods up there to see what they’d look like, and I like the look and the functionality.

Bushing Maintenance on Upper Control Arms

My son and I replaced the bushings and it rides so nice now! They were beginning to complain quite a bit!

To be honest man, I haven't had a single issue with mounting it on the existing cross-bars. My only suggestion is to make sure you tighten up the cross-bar fasteners before putting it on. I actually replaced mine with ones from my local hardware store that make it easier to hand tighten.

Another option is to have the RTT clamp to the side rails. I haven't tried that myself but I do think it's an option. You would just mount the clamps longways. I hope that makes sense... haven't had enough coffee today. Simple answer, it works just fine on the cross-bars. I wheeled with it on the cross-bars and had zero issues.

Thanks! Love that this RTT can come off and be put back on so easily. I was debating taking the yakima mounts off, improvising my own home depot struts and everything. Glad I'll get to use the locking quick release mechanisms
 
Gave her an oil change... 6.5-qts of Mobil 1.
Then, bought a Canoe and took my wife and our dogs camping and exploring on Lake Travis in Austin, TX (Pace Bend Park).

Spent our Easter driving 6 hours round-trip to pick up this beautiful pup from an old Jeep buddy. 16 weeks old AKC German Shepherd female, we named her Mia.
