The green 4runner got into trouble after the big shelf. the first trip out with his new 5.3 chevy revealed an issue. the fan was making contact with the radatior due to the motor mounts flexing, which put a large hole in it. just finishing the motor swap he didnt want to burn it up and took the strap for the majority of the trail to avoid overheating. bummer but oh well...still a good time.

Some beautiful scenery there. Much different than all the green pine trees which is all we have around here.
