The whole setup fits on my trailer which is what I was hoping for.

Ya no kidding, I did choose the crappiest picture I had of it for the before shot haha. Thanks for the compliments everyone. The new tires are way better balanced. It actually rides half decent now. Just have to adjust the rear drums and proportioning valve and it’ll be ready to wheel.

Just finishing up some final touches on the trailer now I got some metal for rock sliders I’m gonna try and fit them up tonight

Going to check out this 87 this morning, it’s got dual ultimates, elockers front and rear 5.29s, hydro assist, full cage, rear disk conversion, tcase ebrake, LCE 22re, basically as built as a first gem can be. It’s an hour and half away so I don’t really know it’s condition till I see it.

The gray truck didn’t work out, but I cut up my other top a few weeks ago.

Thanks youngiam, I love it so far and so does the wife. Need to build a roof rack on it somehow. That’ll help out on on some of our wheeling and camping trips

I don't know that I've ever seen rock sliders on a trailer, but I like it!

Thanks, on the first trip out I actually did use them on a tight corner. I couldn’t take it any wider and I had to rub it along a tree!

Installed air bags on my tow rig today and took the 4runner out for her last drive before spring. Saw a poser with a tow strap wrapped around the front

Built some hybrid square tube sliders, need to finish drilled out the holes

Wheeling in the mud the other night with my friends TRD Tacoma. He made me realize I should probably get some kind of LED lighting

Finished up the sliders


Fixing a broken hub

Added a 7” light bar which I really like for wheeling at night and to assist the crap headlights

Chained up the motor mounts like this also, never got a real picture because the shop was dark.

And some snow wheeling lately.

Looks fantastic. I had to weld chain on my 82 I got tired of changing motor mounts.
