Yeah, it's Mosquito Lake in Alpine county, CA. It's right on HWY4. Super easy to get to.

See if you can find someone local that has the Gibson. I love mine. Nice low rumble, nice sound at WOT, but quite enough for around town cruising.

Boring compared to others of late, but I got a 4-wheel alignment as a follow-up to 4 new Michelins. Guy said the toe was off, otherwise the measurements were good.

Installed a 1" body lift from Toytec. I forgot to take before pictures. I always think of pictures after I get done with everything. You would think that with all of the stuff I'd done I would think of it beforehand, but I get excited and want to tear into stuff and pictures never happen. I'll get some after pics later. Now I've got to move my sliders up.

Fixed my No-4LOW situation yesterday!
So have not be able to shift into 4Lo for 3 years since I got my 2004 SR5 4R from my uncle with 120k miles, he never used it, so naturally the actuator got stuck/sticky and won't shift into 4Lo. Yesterday after a trip to Rausch Creek and a single tip from my friend, I decided to try it again, and it worked! Now I have 4Low!

Here is what my problem is for past 3 years: Engage to 4H no problem, center lock engage no problem (I found it is always easier for center lock to engage while in Neutral). Then since 4L always requires to be engaged only in Neutral, so I was trying it whenever I have a chance, 4Lo will just always blink in orange and never stop blinking, which means not engaged. Sometimes I will try to rock the car back and forth just a bit but always hearing the beep since 4Lo will only be engageable while in Neutral.
Here is exactly what i did yesterday to resolve this problem:
Went to Rausch Creek (past weekend), bumped the crap out of my car. Tried engaging at end of the day of Rausch Creek, still only go the 4Lo to blink. Did not stay on.
Yesterday, went to WAWA and it was a hot day, 85F to be exact according to 4runner. Turn on the car, shift knob at P, turn to 4H, engaged, then shift to N, feet on the brake, shift to 4L, only got blinking 4Lo, while 4Lo is still blinking (4WD knob at 4L) shift from N to D then to 3D then to 2 and then to L while the car is still stationary (feet on the brake the whole process), then shift from L to 2 to 3D to D and back to N, this entire process car was beeping at me because I am not supposed to have my shifter out of N while trying to engage to 4L. Now the shifter is in N and it still beeps becuase I did not reset 4wd knob back to 4H. So I turned it back to 4H and turned to 4L again, wa-lah, 4Lo blinked once and stayed on, I was literally in tears cuz this saved me about $2500 according to a quote proved by my local toyota dealer. So then I had to stay in 4Low to drive as much as I can to avoid the 4L being stuck/sticky again. Then I made sure I am able to switch back to 4L after it disengages, then drove away in 2H. Last night tried it again, worked fine, so now I officially have 4Low.
I wonder how many of these "stuck" 4Lo actuators are really physically jammed, versus how many are just a matter of the ECU having lost touch with the position of the actuator, and thus refusing to move it. Kind of like the rear window/sun roof reset after disconnecting the battery. I wonder if your "trick" is just a way to reset the mechanism and position sensors after some electrical event.

Doubtful. The back window is a servo-driven variable position, whereas the T-case actuator is a binary position. I'd be shocked if there's no basic switches at each travel position, especially since it's clearly a feedback system.
