habanero

As it was when I bought it in 05



Things were totally worn out. Knew it was time to do something when I put camp showers in the rack, went to jump off the tire I'd stood on to reach and realized my feet were lightly trapped between the body and tire! Granted, there was a lot of weight in/on it, but Doh!



So this is as it currently sits, dirty unwashed little heathen that it is.....



Sonoran Steel System 1.2 lift
Michelin A/T LT285/75r16

And so it begins.

2012:





bye bye bumper gap....

Nice! Looking great! I love that color too!

Any plans for bumpers or other armor?

Keep up the good work!

Lumpy

Ya love the color...Nice rack too!!!

I gotta find one for mine...it's on my list of things to get. Does the cage clamp to the roof rack?

toyospearo

If I got a 4 runner I would want it to look like yours!

habanero

Awww. Thanks guys!
Thule playpen clamps to the rack and locks on. It's a little tall, but the price was sweet ($125 barely used) so I can't complain and I know the camp showers won't flop out.

I wish I could do a front receiver bumper, rear w/receiver and spare carrier maybe. That's not going to happen anytime in the near future.

I've got all the necessaries for the tundra brakes sitting here on the floor (doing that tomorrow, I think) and am thinking a cb might be a handy little gadget, or at least fun.

More recovery gear next. Better skid(s) and then sliders would have to be after that but I've pretty much spent all my dough so I'll have to wait until I make more. Considering that moderate trails is the worst I've done and I don't get to do them all that much I have time.

It's been a very slow process!

Hab so glad to see this thread. If you make it out to Colorado next year LET US KNOW. You pay for the steel and we can fab up whatever you need, prolly in a weekend with all the help we could get!

Thanks so much, Molly!. I'll try to remember to holler when we head out there again. I'm not sure it'd be safe to drive past your door again without saying hello at least.
We don't stay in one place more than a day or two and I'm too slow on the tandem to be fun to mtn bike with but wouldn't mind doing a little driving or hiking.

are these old shots or is this something you are doing now?

did the rear sag? was that still a problem with that year or was it just loaded down in that one pic?

the 265's make a big difference. my brother in law has a 4runner i believe a 98? minus the running boards and has 265's on it and it looks perfectly proportioned.

BTW...what does "system 1.2 covered in flu germs mean"? was that a dealer option?

habanero

are these old shots or is this something you are doing now?
Did this in early November 09

did the rear sag? was that still a problem with that year or was it just loaded down in that one pic?
Yes on the rear sag. It wasn't too noticeable until stuff went in the back....and I carry a lot of stuff. In the middle pic it was seriously loaded down and had about 120# of bike and rack hanging off the back as well. Toyota did a recall on the rear springs some time ago, the previous owner had them done according to Toyota but that was over 100,000 miles ago. The truck currently has 206,331 miles on it.

the 265's make a big difference. my brother in law has a 4runner i believe a 98? minus the running boards and has 265's on it and it looks perfectly proportioned.
Mine came with 265's and now has 285's (last pic in first post). I agree, the 265's without the lift looked good to me. At first the 285's looked a little large, but I got used to them.


BTW...what does "system 1.2 covered in flu germs mean"? was that a dealer option?
It means I watch little kids for a living and they share so I had the flu when I was installing the Sonoran Steel 1.2 lift. Can't stand laying around in bed, not at all.

Those rear coils on those runners are so well known for giving the 2nd gen a saggy ass.

And yes you do have to say hello. I am UBER slow on my mountain bike so I wouldn't mind taking it slow. Troy and I have talked a lot about a tandem. Would love to hear more about how you guys like yours.

And when IS your birthday I just made troy a chocolate pound cake, to get us through his week of freezing cold wrenching and measuring we gotta do to finish Ron!
