What did you do with your 4runner today?

Can I ask why you only went to a 265/70?

@ Terri, and Morris, THX.

@ Chris, I needed spacers to clear the uca's for 1 and didn't want the tires to stick out past the body, and didn't feel like doing a body chop and want to keep my mud flaps on. Also, I can put that size tire in the spare location for now. No roof rack.

It might be awhile before I might decide to make a custom rear bumper later to carry larger tire when I iron out all my details on what I want my rig to have on it. Don't want to have to re-gear now to accomadate a v-6.
I'm just getting into my peak working season and to tired to do all of them things for awhile.

I have gotten it built now to where I can get into pretty much where I need too and then some.

So, while I'm installing these larger tires, I decided to install the extended links.

In the middle of this operation, the post man come by and gives me this envelope, :thanks: MOMO. Of course the mailman has to comment on the tires and rig, yah, seen them monsters in my way on the porch the other day. Looks good. Of course have to reply THANKS.

Now MOMO just made it so I have to wash her up and start with the stickers.
Thx, MO, as I needed more things to do on the weekend.

That looks so much better Leonard!

About to pull the trigger on this. What was the turn around time?
 
Began the early stages of my cargo drawer build. I had a spare piece of plywood in the garage so I took the carpet liner out of the back and traced it onto the board. I used a skil saw to cut it out, along with holes for the factory tie downs. Now I just have to figure out how I want to build the drawers. Definitely inspired by Dusty's build

Looks like a good start. I didn't realize you had tie down hooks where the double decker shelf usually latches (in the "up" position). That is another possible place for a support strap to keep the box in place.
Glad to see this come together.

I think in order to secure the box to the board, I'm going to use the four factory tie down points, attaching turnbuckles to them and to the box itself. That way, it would be pretty easy to take in and out when I need to
 
Found a fire trail and did some exploring after picking up this bad boy for FREE! :lookout:

I think there is something wrong, plasti dip is getting addictive. Redid the plastidip after just one day. I think I'm done now.

Got it airborne.

Twice.

Accidentally both times.

Broke my sun roof cover and a bunch of stuff in the cargo area. Also ruined my alignment.... My neck and head are killing me.

Other than that, had a blast with a bunch of FJs, tacos and runners in Connecticut today. 29 trucks turned out!

It was a blast ! I have no damage except the dent in my resonator from the first rock obstacle.

:worthless Pics or it didn't happen!
