And of course....I GOTTA align it, as always! I think this was my 6th alignment on my truck haha Top of Sonora Pass after a downhill biking trip at Mammoth Mountain: And then lastly, but not least, went out with some other members of ExPo (@v_man, @mtn4rnr, @rochmpr and others) to Slick...

Reorganized my primary battery to allow fitment of my winch solenoid on a custom tray I fab'd. Plug welded as well as on the outside. Dipped into the Western end of the Rubicon, went as far as Miller Lake and backed out, I was solo and it was getting late. Local 4runner...

Picked up my new travel companion...2006 Rocky Mountain Slayer! Installed a subwoofer under the seat. Nifty little thing: Little more bumper progress, got the winch in. Visited Big Sur again: This is currently my sleeping setup, its a huge but comfortable mattress out of my dads...

Didn't have time to get the platform covered with carpeting before I trekked to Big Sur, but it loads up nicely! And so begins the front bumper build! I wanted to be unique, I wanted to make sure my bumper was unlike any other bumper out there. Here is one of the facets that...

5.29's installed! This couch totally would have fit inside the truck...if I didn't have a sweet 1st gen roll bar! Oh well, this totally beats all you guys with rooftop tents, I present to you, the RTC, or RoofTopCouch! Time to get a sleeping platform, drawer thingie built...

More progress on the rear bumper, getting very close to completion: Created, dimpled and welded the side filler plates: I had a bit of a tough time deciding how to fill the corner piece. Sure, it was easy enough to bend a plate and fit it, but that wasn't enough for me. All the other...

Got my secondary battery installed and setup: Moved that little relay box forward to an unused hole in the fender: Remember that battery cover from a rider pallet jack I said I repurposed to make my fuse box bracket? I used some more metal from that same cover in order to create a base...

Made some SERIOUSLY budget status ditch light mounts. But hey, they have held up through some hard abuse. I think I'll keep them :D Adventure time, to Carmel CA: Picked up a 1st generation 4runner Roll-bar: Installed a new radiator, transmission cooler, all hoses, all belts...

Took her out to Hollister Hills on 07-20-2014. I was forced to remove the rear bumper, I really didn't check for tire clearance with the bigger tires before going out. Oh well, a great time nonetheless, and it's just more inspiration for me to build my rear bumper! First lighting mod, I...

Hey everyone, finally getting around to creating my build thread. I have been lurking here for a while, and have a build thread posted up on t4r.org. But, I plan on overlanding and doing long, extended trips with this truck, and have already done a few. I plan on more. Here's the story: I owned...

Those spindle gussets look great, nice work!

I think that's his heated shower setup! I've been through your build on t4r.org a few times, I thoroughly enjoy your truck!

The Trail Premium comes with the KDSS suspension system, whereas the TRDPro does not, but it does have reservoir shocks (I think.) The TRDPro also does not have a sunroof, but it does come in more color options that are not otherwise available.

Wow, looks like a great starting platform. I can't wait to see what gets done!

Very cool! This truck has a bright future ahead!

Why must they always go so young :(

It's a 2002, so it won't have the rear locker option, which was discontinued starting model year 2001. It has the center diff lock which many people believe to increase offroad capability; it just gives you true 4wd. IMO it doesn't seem to be worth the money.

Can't wait to see where this build goes! I've got a 3rd gen 4runner as well.

Second post here on ExPo, gonna start my introduction thread in a bit.
