Nice truck, dig the trailer too. Curious as to how your experience with the 4R will differ from that with the XTerra and JKU. Everybody has different feelings towards vehicles but I couldn't buy a JKU even after driving three different equipment levels. Also did a quick test-drive with a 2nd-gen...
Quick update on the Stormtrooper:
Overall, things are good. I've probably put close to 1000 miles on it and in general, the truck is doing great. However, it does need attention in a few places:
-Skid plate: needs to be re-attached on the passenger side
-Seafoam & spark plugs: the engine runs...
Running 255/85/16 KM2s on my new-to-me 4Runner. They look good and I'm sure they'll do well in mud and snow (which I'll try out tomorrow), but when they need replacing I'll likely go a little wider
Haha I knew you'd see this at some point! Lockers are very much on the dream list...things that are unnecessary but I wouldn't mind having. And still hoping to make a trip up to visit this summer!

Anyways, I just introduced myself over on the 4Runner forum so some...
If the offer stands I very well may take you up on that later this year or in 2017
As for the crash site, I stand corrected, the site I've been to is in Maine and it's a B52 site about half-way up the state. Been there via ATV but haven't made it in a truck just yet (keyword: yet)
Excellent photos and story as always
