From ZA, with love
Finally attached the GoPro to the truck; pardon the wind noise. Will get something a bit more interesting up shortly.

Swung by my local muffler shop and got a quote on a reroute job for the exhaust. The right mount is broken (see below) so getting this sorted. With the reroute I will have both coming out and behind the passenger rear tire. At my age (35 as I write this) I'm starting to get tired of the droning from my Magnaflow.
Also took it to get dynoed; one hour, three pulls and a few minutes later results are inconclusive. Tester David was having a time keeping it in one gear without it upshifting etc. We basically just shot the stuff about his shop, race carts and his Baja days so not a total wash I guess...
Also discovered my passenger side inner CV boot is now torn; fantastic:jaw:. Time for OEM or CVJ replacements.
Did get home to this though: winch came in from NorthRidge. Went with a ComeUp winch, the Seal Gen 2 9.5rsi.Also two packages from FrontRunner and two 4 Gallon packs from Rotopax.
From FrontRunner I purchased a ladder and grill. The ladder uses a ratchet system to attach to the rear tire as shown below and the grill simply mounts under the ratchet straps. Was very impressed with the notes from the employees in ZA of FrontRunner. They send you these nice notes of appreciation and encourage to get out there. Nice touch. :elkgrin:
I was able to drop off my front bumper and sliders at a local 4Runner forum member's shop so we'll be working on that tomorrow. Cut frame rail ends, weld on bumper ends, also compensate for the 2" lift.
With only three months to go till Texas I'm getting pretty damn excited about this thing. :jump:Cheers!
