UPDATE: removed fender flares, i think it looks so much better!

also just recently i got the most stuck i probably ever will be. the winch cable snapped and i had to leave it there in 3 feet of snow overnight with heavy snow still falling. heres some pics


this was the next morning

after 7 hours of digging we got it out of there. any more snow and i probably would have had to leave it til spring

So yesterday I was looking under my rig and I stumbled across this

the drivers side end link on the sway bar snapped, I never felt any difference in driving and have no idea when it happened, so I figured I would rip the whole thing out

here it is in all its broken glory


for any of you thinking about taking this off, from what I have experienced in one day of driving without the sway bar, it really isnt bad at all. I got up to 75 mph and made a few quick lane changes and it didnt feel much different than it did before. As far as flex, I really didnt see much of a difference, maybe only an inch or so. but that can make all the difference between the rig being on its wheels and being on its side

Been very busy the last 3 months. Ive finally gotten the chance to go on several different trips and meet many of you fellow yotatechers. Several changes have happened withe the 4runner as well:

-Flopped on some hurculiner on the sliders
-Moved CB mount to the back above the tail light
-Did the end cap mod as well as raising the ARB up an inch to match the body lift
-Got me some KM2's

Heres some pics of events Ive been to over the summer

Squaw ridge








Pismo Jamboree







I met a guy in one of my classes who wants to build me a tire carrier bumper to advertise for his offroad fab buisness he's starting. Ive seen his work on a cherokee, it is phenomenal. we'll see what happens
