Ready for tomorrow. i still need to rewind my winch before tomorrow... also picked up a nice axe



so a little update on the recent little hahah tune up. even with the disabled IACV i can fire up the truck just like before without having to open the throttle any and it just goes straight to 800 RPMs. i love it. runner drives great. a little noticeable improvement imo but since its not my DD its hard to tell sometimes lol. i dont drive it fast at all but it does seem like off the line acceleration is much better. overall i think the runner is more responsive and runs smooth!!

I WILL, I promise, .......eventually! I hit Auburn, CA, North American Fork, for Butterfly Season....... WOW, man, seriously great photo ops! I woke up once with my colored Tent COVERED, completely, in about 20 different types of Butterflies! Plus, it wasn't bad weather, either! lol.

You might not make it to the American River, while I'm there, but I'll DEFINITELY try to find some time to hook up witcha'all before I head back. I used to do that 2 times a year or so, on top of around 10 or so other 4-10 day trips.......... Now? HEH! Sux, but hey, I have a roof over my head, bills are paid(debts or otherwise, lol).... and I eat well, every day! Just need some more free time.... But for now, I'm needed, and I hope someone is there for me, when I'm older, ya know?

i just added a sleeping bag since the runner makes a great tent haha. yea i was the only toyota up there. ran into 6 other jeeps. only one FJ cruiser. was a great run going solo since all my friends flaked.. see i need yotatech wheeling buddies...
didnt need any recovery gear but i did try out the winch which was fun haha. super slow but it works.

so after going over a few ideas in my head. i finally found one i like. still working on it but should be function as is. just need to remove it all and paint it all black. i needed a better place for my smittybilt element ramps instead of on top of all my stuff which makes it hard to get to quickly. i got some 2inch u bolts and some hinges. mounted it all up to the roll bar and a shelf. i used some trunk shocks to hold it up and wanted it to be able to come down and up. the shocks are way too stiff and i cant compress them by pulling down. so i just move where its mounted if i need it to hang down to access the ramps. now this gives me all kinds of mounting options as you can see.
