Awesome pics and great trip report. Makes me want to make the drive...someday. Thanks for taking the time to share.

Monte, thanks for the camera info. I have to admit, I'm a little intimidated about buying a SLR camera. I've never used one, nor been around anyone(friends or family) that has one. Is the learning curve steep? If so, would you advise taking a class? Sorry if this takes away from the amazing...

@Blackdawg, once again, another amazing trip report. It makes me want to leave work and head there right now...ha I appreciate the time you take to create these. I have read all of your trip reports, starting with the Magruder trail cv axle catastrophe, and have thoroughly enjoyed all of...

Good for you. That is a REALLY clean looking 4runner...love it!

Amen!!! I couldn't agree more. For those that need all the 'nannies' in their new car, they should just call Uber.

Great job fitting the winch inside your bumper. Very clean install. Sounds like a great trip. Also, glad to hear that you are gaining more confidence in the 4runner...even with 260k on it:Wow1:. That's awesome! I hope to make it to Colorado someday to do some wheeling. Thanks for sharing

Way too cool! I wish I had $4500 laying around. I can't believe someone hasn't bought this yet. GLWS Durwin

I wouldn't think an ARB bumper would have much if any impact on your MPG's. However, it may cause your front end to droop a little. Are you lifted? For reference, I drive a 99 4runner with 2.7 and 5spd. I installed an Addicted Offroad plate front bumper, (which I believe is heavier than the...

Your build continues to inspire me. I just installed a crawl box, thanks in large part to your build. I'm working on fabbing a tcase crossmember and putting finishing touches on center console mod. Thanks for your help and info. I am currently running Bilstein shocks on all 4 corners, with...

Krazy Toy for sure. You are so creative and imiginative. I could have stared at that truck for a month, and never thought "now this could make a great adventure rig'. I already know...IT IS GONNA BE AWESOME!!! Will it be your DD? Great start! Durwin

Love it...those dogs look awful comfy...living the good life. Be safe

I just read through the entire thread. I love your truck, in all it's various stages, but where it's at now with the flatbed, boxes and RTT, is just AWESOME! Very inspirational build. I had a 90 extra cab with the 3.0. Your build makes me miss it. Keep exploring in that 'slow budget build'...

Not sure if you've already purchased new tires yet. If not, I will chime in with my opinion and experience of the Maxxis Bighorn MT in 255/85r16. I own a 99 4runner with 4 banger and 5 speed tranny. I have run the Bighorn's for almost a year, but only put about 6k on them. This is not my DD...

Love the name of your build... Need pics! :sombrero:

Sweet. How many miles? Can you list a few of the 'highlights' on the route? Thanks Durwin

In case you didn't already know this, If you decide to go with a Bandit bumper. He sends a 'DXF' (autocad) file of all the parts, which allows you to email or transfer via thumbdrive to a local steel yard and they can put it on there plasma table and cut all the parts for you. Very exact and...

That definitly sounds EPIC. How many days? If you put this together as group trip, I would like to join. Durwin

I am very interested in this as well. It would be awesome if we could get a group together. I really wanted to go in 2015, but life didn't allow it. I hoping for a equal in 2017

Dang, you just continue to make this rig nicer and nicer. I really like those AP sliders! I wish I would have got bolt on style instead of weld on. I need to repaint the bottom side of mine, and I'm dreading it. I've never heard of, or seen the NW innovations bumpers before. It looks a lot...

Addison, I don't post much, but I have been following your builds for years. Your 'Dirt Duster' build on T4R.org has been an inspiration to me (and many others), then Tom Cruiser, then Doug, now RickRunner. I look forward to seeing where this one ends up. I'm am extremely confident it will be...
