So I posted my reply in between I stopped and my buddy stopped by to show me his new to him STI 04 and we were just discussing what I was going to do with my old trailer that is half a jeep commanche trailer. You must have some speacil powers. You can read my mind. With two for sure kids and possible another kid in the future I was going to have the same problem of not having room for storage and people and the dog. I will post a pick of my trailer that I'm going to mod may give you some ideas. I really like the front for storage of firewood and trash.

I just read through this entire build thread, as I just found it!

Thanks a lot for sharing, and I have to say that this is the best all-purpose 4Runner build ups I have ever seen!

Some very tasteful mods, and great ideas that I am going to "borrow" from you!

Thanks again for sharing all of the details and pictures...and please continue to post them up!

Yeah actually. I hang out with my buddy up there all of the time. We tried to wheel Deer Creek this past weekend but there was too much snow for our stockers.

Thanks! I'm really happy how the 4Runner has turned out. There's always more work to be done, but all around it works really good.

"Borrow" all you want, that's why I have posted all this. I have learned a wealth of knowledge on forums like this, I'm just returning the favor!

Yeah, the snow is getting a little deep around tree line. I went out the weekend before last and found 2-3 foot drifts in places, but... I do love snow bashing so it was a great time!

I was looking through some pictures and thought I would share this series of pictures from last month when I ran Chinaman's with Aaron. One of his buddys took the pictures and I think they turned out great, it was a fun trip!
