Nice tent!

Since you list SoCal as home, your campspot kind of looks like the desert side near Lake Arrowhead or Big Bear, where I was born and raised.

Very cool and nice looking rig. To you and others out there with a set up like this...this is the life! And for most of us, this is why we own a T4R. Can't wait to get mine ready the way I want it for some outdoor ADV! Cool stuff guys & gals.

You got it! It's within the network of trails just south of Big Bear. I started off in Holcomb Valley/Crab Flats area, but ended up there. There's just so much to explore in that area its incredibly easy to just ignore your initial route and go wandering off somewhere else.
 
Got the victory 4x4 bumper on. Smittybuilt 10k synthetic and a cheap lightbar. Still ned to wire stuff up but i hooked it up to spool the line.

Did you do anything to hide the power cord? I just got mine but I'm struggling with how to install cleanly.

Here you go. Its a bit unorthodox but it works for front passengers to control echo auto. I still need to double side tape it down. The cables fit under the lid through that notch under the center console lid.

Got the some new rubber!
Would love to go all out and do full suspension, bumbers, mag SC, rtt...but heeding some solid advice - get better tires and sliders and go figure out what you would really need.

Nice set up, What are using to carry your spare tire, looks like you still got the OEM bumper. Also how are you liking the Joes panels? I was thinking of getting some but not sure how sturdy they would be?
 
Got the chrome wrapped with vinyl yesterday. Love the look.

Using a Detours of Maine hitch mounted swingout with a custom hi lift mount welded on. As for the panels, I love em. They were a PITA to mount because I don't have a Prinsu, which is what they were designed for, but once they're on, I have 0 regrets of getting them. Mine do rattle a little bit on bumpy roads, but if you use them on the correct rack, I doubt you'll experience this. I've had no structural or functional issues at all.
 
Looks good! Any challenges especially with the front chrome bumper? Do you mind stating how much it set you back? Did they do the door handles too?

They wrapped everything but the "Limited" emblems. I bought an overlay kit off ebay for them. They didn't have any trouble with the front bumper, but a little with the rear "4RUNNER" part. They took the letters off and wrapped that area, but the Toyota emblem wasn't holding. I have an overlay for the toyota emblems coming in also, so I'll put it over that area. Cost 275.

Thought so. Grew up in the foothills of the San Bernardinos between Apple Valley and Lucerne Valley in the 1950s through early 1970s; Big Bear Lake for two years; the Eastern Sierra Nevada (June Lake, Big Pine) 1970s through later 2000s, then north central Nevada since.

Growing up in the desert, I explored everyback trail to Big Bear, and Arrowhead area I could find riding my motorcycles.

Not bad at all!

Potential KDSS issue

Just took delivery of a 2010 Salsa Red 4R Trail. I was cleaning the car and I noticed the front sway bar was disconnected on the passenger side. My concern is that this may have damaged the KDSS. Trying not to overreacted until i get some more knowledgeable opinions. How concerned should i be?
