well I wasnt sure If I was going to make the trip I had planned but everything has come together so I will be heading out in the morning, as usaul there were a bunch of things left to the last minute to get done "I've got to quit that" but with some last minute busting my tail I managed to get most of it done. I have wheeled this rig since I bought it with out the anti sway bars to get a little better flex and it has done great but honestly there has been more than a few time the pucker factor was a bit much, so for this trip I reinstalled the rear bar to see how it does. I also trimed the tail pipe back 1 because it looked goofy with the new bumper 2 it was just looking to get smashed shut between a rock and the frame. I also wanted to ad a couple constant hot 12 volt plugs the lack of any was just poor thinking on toyota part IMO.
One other thing I want to get done was ad some windsheild washer fluid wich I did but alas it did help lol, the front of my runner has been wrecked at some point Ive noticed a lot of things on the front that are not as they should be, any way I started checking things out and the wireing for the washer pump is not hooked up I hunted around and could not find a plug that matched so Im not sure if the pump is wrong the plug is wrong or I just didnt find the rite one any way that gives me a good Im bored oh yea the washer pump needs fixed project.
looking forward to this trip hopfully all will go well I will take as pics and vidio as I can. thanks for checking in.

(I added the verse for a buddy.... haven't loaded any of those pics without the verses since this new computer was had, lol.... I know you wont mind tho ) >>>



^^That's from the 2-Angeles Crest National Forest HWY... Toward the top, near Mt. Waterman.... Looking down in that Valley.. that's the North Side of the Angeles... Where I camp, right about dead Center of the pic/lil further down the hill from there maybe. Take that road you can kinda see to the right up to that spot for the day when back there... BEAUTIFUL... and I NEED IT! haha..
