It'll be get new tires, remove the aussie and sell it once the tires are installed, then get an e locked axle hopefully soon after once I can afford it.

The thing drives like a cadillac now, I love it!

 

awesome, should be a nice ride down to pismo. Sticking with km2s or try something different?

 

I'm thinking km2's again, I really didnt get a good chance to use them to their full potential because the locker ate them so fast

 

Stockwell - You do a lot of driving man. I'd look into some Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs, or maybe even hankook dynapro MT's. They're a bit less aggressive and have more of cross between a AT and MT. but its up to you KM2's are sick.

 

I really wanna give the KM2's another chance without them being eaten up. I was looking at the Falken Wild Peak A/T's as an option, FourWheeler magazine's got some really good reviews on them. But I think this time around, its all about the KM2's

 

km2's should do awesome for you ive rotated mine every 5000 miles they had 15,000 on them when we went to squaw

 

i have the same amount on my MTR's and they look brand new... :justsayin:

 

Got one more Pismo Jamboree under my belt. Saw a lot of friends I havent seen in a long time.















Then I got unreasonably drunk and it was the end of a great day

 

lmao you went to bed early man! should've stayed up partying with us till 4 am!

 

The tide and sunset pic deserves a shot in the 2012 calender submit man. Its got my vote!

 

ya they do, kinda mad at myself I didnt check for burns in the pic before hand but its nothing a little photoshop cant fix

 

Joined the bandwagon...

 

I might just hop on that bandwagon myself. Those bags are legit. Also, I would stick with the km2's as well. Road noise is meh but the wear well. I have heard by numerous people that those wrangler duratracs wear FAST. just my .02

 

Only suggestion I have for anyone getting the trash atop is to take it off your trucks, empty it, and scotch guard the hell out of it... Any little bit of water that hits it it'll soak up and ruin whatever is inside... Found this out while on my way back from WA in the rain with blankets packed inside and work gloves and trash bags inside...

 

Really? I almost was thinking of going with those, or even the Procomp M/T's. But I definitely wanna do the KM2's one more time once that stupid locker is gone.

I think I'm only gonna use mine in the summer during trips...but I'll probably do this anyway. Did you do it to yours?

 

not yet... havent had much motivation to since i cant hang it on a tire like you guys...

but itll happen...

 

So I've been looking back into my binder that holds every receipt that involves anything to do with the 4runner. I've found that in the last 5 years I've owned it, All the mods I've done and general maintenance have added up to $10,000 . Being spread over 5 years, it doesnt seem that bad. The way I figure it, to finish the 4runner the way I've always dreamed it, it will take another $10,000. That is definitely alot of money I could put towards other things, but spread over another 5 or 6 years it is definitely feasable. Lets just hope the motor lasts that long or that will be added to the list. Heres what I got so far, this is just what I would WANT to have, not necessarily NEED:

And this is just estimates on the prices, could be more or less.

EDIT: my tires are bald, add another $1100 to that for new KM2's, that makes the total $11,100

Cant forget belly armor, I've been needing it. Let's say $600 in skids

 

Yeah..... that's why I never add up my receipts. Your 4Runner is nice just as it is, but our 'habit' always seem to make us want to do more. As long as we're having fun, right?





Atlas...

 

Saves us on airfare and hotels

Forgot a snorkel $328

 

I have a love/hate relationship with this habit! lol I just need to win the lottery or something, with trying to buy a new truck and all its not gonna be easy...
