Wow Chef! Great looking 4runner. Almost like looking in the mirror.

TJ88, My tire/wheel setup is 15x8 eagle alloys with bfg mud km 32/11.5. Thank you too, I am definitely picking up a few of those matchbox cars for my boys (and myself)

you're both wearing 32x11.5s? what are the odds of that? maybe you guys were separated at birth! or at least the trucks appear to be!

i wonder how many other things you guys have similar? open the closet, same clothes; open the fridge, same food....

very good lookin' Runners, guys. keep 'em shiny side up!

Pretty eerie how similar they are...mine has been completely gone through in the last 6,000 miles.

Rebuilt engine, new head, rebuilt tranny, transfercase, new ujoints, balanced driveshaft, new radiator, ac compressor, all hoses, new balljoints, etc., new Yukon 4.88 gears front and rear. Detroit locker rear and a lockrite in the front. LCE header also. 1.5 balljoint spacer too.

Now for the real kicker, I just noticed where Chef is from....I went through Palos Verdes Yesterday. I was hunting in D14 (san bernadino forest area).
I live near Yosemite National Park.

Nice Runners you two. I like Traction's wheels. They're shinier

On a side note, I'm heading to SC tomorrow for a few months. After that I'll be in VA for about a year. If I still have a truck when I get back (someone is borrowing it till I can drive it again) I got some big plans. Roll-on bed liner, custom headache rack w/ LED lights, custom bumpers front/rear, lift, winch, and finish it up with a paint job. My weathered fenders and black hood are really getting to me. Sticking with the same color, minus the P stripes.

Who knows, I might be posting a "Is it worth fixing or should I scrap it?" thread... lol.. KIDDING (I hope)

Y'all don't miss me while I'm gone.

I am going to Haiti on Sunday to do some volunteer work for the second time.
We get around mostly in these Toyota trucks that are straight up bulletproof.
I came across this photo of a work crew driving upstream.

Went for a drive today!

Also found some nice trails but it was to dark for pics, they came out too blurry to even see
