Uploaded a couple shots from last night.

paynemw, that's awesome man, no problem! Can't wait to see what it looks like, I wish I would've known about his work before I got my ARB, I would've went to him in a heartbeat! When was he going to be finished up with it all? I'll definitely go to him in the future, actually I've been thinking of sliders sometime soon. It also helps that he's only a 15 minute drive from my place!

Just a few miles past Libby, MT. Staying at cabins on lake Koocanusa. I see you're in MT, you ever been to that part, it's more in the northwest part of the state?

Ha, well I go to school back in Bozeman, but I'm actually more of a neighbor to you - I'm from Maple Valley and here for the summer. Nah, I've never been up there before. It's a bit more similar to the east side of the cascades from what I've heard up in that area, kinda that rain shadow effect. All my 'play' is down in the SW part.

Haven't updated this in a while, here are some recent updates,

Got a sub + amp in my truck, pictures to come soon.

Ordered sliders, pictures once installed.

Won at PSTOF the 'Newest 4Runner' award, pictures also soon. :bikok:

Removed my rear wheel well trim pieces, I tried to fix up my front ones, the damage was done though, so I took the rear ones off, it doesn't look half bad actually.

Have to get some mudflaps soon and figure out how to hook them up before the weather starts to get nasty this winter.

New radiator in. No more overheating, pictures up later of my old radiator and the 'strawberry milkshake' starting to show.

And got some new stickers!

Thanks!

Paynemw, definitely dude, I think I'm going to talk to him here soon about fabbing up a tire swingout for me, having it up on the roof just isn't working like I thought it would.

On rig updates, got my sliders a couple weeks ago from Trail-Gear, sent them to the powdercoater today to have them painted black to match the bumpers. Will have pictures when I get them back and when they're on the truck.

Got my new CV axles in this past Saturday. Autozone sells them with lifetime warranties, the employee there said that even if I hear the slightest noise, or have the slightest tear in a boot, I just call them, they'll get it in, I pop it out, and go return. Just need a receipt. Sweet.

Got a 10" sub with prebuilt box and an amp in the truck about 2 months ago, may post pictures soon.

Not really sure what I'm going to be purchasing next for the Runner, I'll be sure to keep y'all updated though, thanks for looking!

Another thing I remembered while sitting here. How terrible of a sound my horn makes. I did some searching here on the forums, and just purchased a pair of Fiamm Freeway Blaster Horns from Amazon. Should be here Saturday, I'll let ya guys know how the sound comes out, maybe do a before and after, pictures also to come!

Eh, not really. I don't keep too much back there on a day-to-day basis. When I go wheeling or camping, I usually take my system out, since I have some quick disconnects for it. When it's in, I have it locked down to prevent sliding around in the back (like it ever would though, the thing weighs like 50 pounds haha).

Yeah I don't have any major problems with it. I do want to look for a little cover-cage thingy for the sub though, just in case something should roll and damage it. What kind of system do you have?

Got the sliders back from the powdercoater today, pictures posted.

Also ordered a pair of FIAMM Freeway Blaster horns on the 17th! Had time a couple days ago to wire them up, put up a before/after video, check it out!
