I can't help deciding which to get. Both 2019's, ones an ORP and the other a Pro. Similar price and miles.

The Pro is obviously a pro, but it's black, needs some beefier tires and is missing side rails/steps. Other's white, has beefy tires, siderails I want, but is an ORP. ARG I don't know what to do!!
 
Not today, but last Friday. Installed my lift and got an alignment.

Kings 2.5 front(2.5”) and rear(2”)
Dobinson rear springs
KDSS rear spacers
Toyotec bump stop spacers
Wheels are 17x8.5 wrapped in 265/70/17 Wildpeaks

A lot would depend on your intention and use of the 4Runner.

Installed my bowline brackets, my Gobi elevation crossbars and my Thule Hullavator. Still working out kinks with Hullavator and round bars.

Took a nice easy going drive in the hills over maintained dirt roads and two track trails. My daughter and her husband visited for the weekend from out of state. Saw several groups of chukar (Hungarian partridge, a popular game bird), a couple of deer, several antelope, a large red tail hawk, a few burrowing owls, several falcons, hawks, several large infestations of Mormon crickets, cottontails and jackrabbits. The transfer case and front got some exercise in high and low ranges.
 
Since we got home last Saturday after 3 weeks throughout the SW, we have washed it, changed oil, reset "Maintenance Required" light and ordered new air filter (Thought I had one in the garage!).

Air filter arrived last night! Going in today!

Ironman 4x4 winch install

I installed a Heft Fabworks Banshee bumper and Ironman 4x4 9500lb winch. I just can't figure out where to mount the winch control box. Has anyone figured this out?

Do a search but think most have to open the hood to access their control box. Is it a remote control?
 
Put the 4R to work...made progress on my 66 Chevy and hauled the bed down to its new location. That bed will become mobile beer taps for a restaurant!
I know, I know, it's not *exactly* 4R related...but the Chevy is getting a full frame-off resto with a little bit of modernization (disk brakes, AC, stereo with BT, EFI) and going back to the original 60s blue/green color.

Since Google Drive doesn't want to cooperate, I'll just drop links...

Dropped my fuse box bolt into the floor board. Does anybody know the size so I can buy a new one? Or can someone measure the size of theirs with a socket wrench for me? Thank you
