Some hiking in Sept. 2014 on Mount Rose.

 

When I came out of Autozone, there were two 4runners parked next to my ride. Three generations in 1 shot by happenstance.

 

New shoes! 33 inch BFG MTR's. Took them for some light offroading. It was pretty slick out there on the side of a mountain, started snowing and didn't wan't to slide off a cliff, so we had to cut it short.

 

At this point, we found out my wife was prego, so we got a safer car. Added a used Toyota Venza to the stable.

 

Added extra grounds to try to fix the hesitation issue, didn't work.

 

I gutted the spare parts 4runner and had it taken away during the fall of 2014. The wife was happy to see it gone!

 

Restoring furniture in prep for the baby. I took an old school entertainment center, cut the top off, flipped it over and put legs on it from the removed pieces. Ended up turning out well.

 

A before and after renovation for the baby's room. Painted, molding, new baby proof outlets. There was no 4runner work during winter 2014.

 

A cool 4runner parked outside of buffalo wild wings!

 

A cold winter day at hidden valley park in 2015. You can see the inversion over Reno. Very little snow that year.

 

Scored a deal. Got an 06 FZ1 for 2800 bucks! I knew I had to get a cheap bike before the baby arrived, or the wife wouldn't let me get one at all.

 

A couple of cool Toyota's at the Reno off road expo summer of 2015. The rest of the rides there were jeeps, so I won't post those pics. I will definately be getting one of these roof top tents after the SAS is complete.

 

Reverse El Glow gauge upgrade. Was easy and turned out nice! One thing to know is that the needles pop off, then before reinstalling the cover, put it in the dash, start the engine and set the RPM needle where its supposed to go at idle rpm range. Then you can take it out, install the cover and button everything back up.

 

Light bar install. It didn't come with instructions for the wiring. Tried out a few methods, then the switch broke. Had to buy another one, but got it working. The light output is outrageously bright! Hanging with the dog in the back yard after the install and having a beer

 

Installed a LED hitch brake light and a cobra CB radio. CB radio was a tight fit in this location, but got it to work by making my own bracket.

 

Some landscaping during summer 2015 with the 4runner in the background. Before and after shots.

 

A coiled/linked 4runner seen outside of 4 Wheel Parts.

 

Full size spare.

 

And the SAS begins!!!

 

Got the axle housing for 75 bucks. I scored some WFO concepts parts off of craigslist. Not sure if I will use these or Trail Gear parts.
