nice work on the vid Yeah I should be on the next one also. My "shim" for the battery hold down worked out great so the truck is mobile again. Should have the fluids all worked out on the next couple paydays then comes all the fun of getting it armored up hehe.

 

What are you planning as far as armor goes? You really should start a build thread brother. By the way have you liked us on Facebook yet?

 

Already done https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f200...er-sr5-279234/

First thing will be sliders, then possibly the gas tank or the bumpers next. Also plan to replace the one under the engine and a belly one.

 

Then put it in your sig! Yeah I meant who are you going through?

 

Yeah good call on the sig lol, added.

Still looking around I have a few I really like, so still working down on what I want. Definitely want plate bumpers front and rear though, not a fan of the tube ones on 3rd gens.

Will do some research and throw up some links soon one my favs

Those are beautiful and are sold ready to go with no welding necessary.

 

Yeah Addicted's is one of the ones on my list, the other front bumpers I like are:

http://www.armorology.com/products.htm though this one requires in shop installation.

I personally think the addicted one is much better than any of those when it comes to what you are getting for your money. The shrockworks one is nice but 1k? FUUUUUCCCCKKKKK that

 

indeed lol, I just really like the look of it. I am a fan of Addicted though so that is likely where I will go when the time comes

 

What about a lift? Where are you leaning in that department?

 

Probably this with a 1" bl:

Wanna fit 35s so some trimming may be required.

 

 

lol we were just talking about that episode the other day here at work

Yeah alot of it is still researching. I knew a ton about the 1st gens but still reading/learning about the 3rd gens as yet. Taking it a step at a time and researching as I go

 

Tell me about it. Its what I spend a lot of my time doing.

 

The new Addicted Offroad plate bumpers are SICK! I was kinda set on one of their tube bumpers...until they came out with the plate ones . I hate it, I'm trying to buy a house soon but want to dump a bunch of money in to the truck too. I wish I could do like the Fed and just print however much I needed, lol. Oh well, one thing at a time, house first, then truck.

 

lol yeah I feel ya

 

Next trip is going to be Evans Creek fellas. We are looking at May 3rd tentatively now. Trying to make a camping trip out of it as well. I would love to see more people out this time around.

 

Whats the trail like, stock friendly? hehe

 

I haven't been to it yet but I don't think it is very stock friendly no. Do a youtube search on it and see what you think. Then again most vehicles are not as capable as a stock 4runner is.

It appears to depend on which trail we take Any thoughts on which you had in mind?
