Nice!! He will love it . Just got mine King on like a month ago. Just don’t do proper alignment on first time , drive it ~ 500-700 miles let it settle.

i bet, especially recovering from last season! we were there a couple weekends ago and i was surprised to see residual snow from last season.

i want to explore more of mammoth. the kids love offroading out there. we found a random spot near grant lake. there was a stream/river and a bridge and looks like you can camp there? we found a makeshift wooden toilet and other stuff.

Even though I've lived in Mammoth for 18 years I haven't explored the area nearly as much as I should've. I only got my 4runner last year so I've just barely scratched the surface of what this area has to offer but it doesn't surprise me you'd find a makeshift camping site. There's dispersed camping all over the area.
 
I took out my secondary battery and tray to find the source of a rattle after a trip to Death Valley and found this. Has anyone run into this issue? Anyone seen a thread on repairing and reinforcing factory Nutserts?

Nice one gibburnz - I'd been on and off looking for an excuse for the Goat Armor - now I have one. Order placed! Well worth it to save the sides through narrow trails!
 
Officially signed the purchase Agreement for my 2020 Pro! Arrived on tuesday and delivery is scheduled for friday.
Kinda counts as a mod, but dropped off a stock roof rack to replace the pro basket.. as it wouldnt fit in my parkade with it.

Ouch! Death Valley and vicinity can inflict serious pain on any vehicle. I have no answer to your situation though.

Looks like the nutsert held terrifically! The easiest repair is to replace the vehicle surrounding the nutsert.

Next repair would be weld the nut back in with a backing patch to strengthen the area. I believe there have been several others, especially those who upgraded to a size 31 battery that have had the tray and/or fender crack. I fully expect mine will do the same eventually. Toyota has definitely stretched the thinnest metal vs the heaviest load to the max in that application.

Well, the 4runner has 11k on it so I was hoping it would go a bit further.
Your spot on about the group 31, it was a bridge too far, 77lbs held in place by sheetmetal.
