Hey Did your rear bumper get caught on a rock or something? or did i miss that off of one of your last trips?
I hear ya on that Stock look. you and Mark have some really clean looking trucks. i love both your rigs. I would like to say the same for my truck but i on the other hand want to do a bunch mods to it. Only exterior mods are the front and rear/tirecarrier bumpers, side skirts, and winch and roof rack. oh and the SAS with the lift. but other then that i plan to try to keep the rest as stock looking as possible haha! i know it'll change the whole look of the truck already. but im wanna make it custom to my linking the way you and Mark have done with your trucks.
Hopefully next year we can meet you guys out in big bear. My rig should be Sas'ed by the time you guys go again. I'll bring along a couple of off-road buddies. should be loads of fun.
looking back when i 1st took over the runner. it was just gonna get a major tune up. fix all the leaks and make sure it was mechanically sound. than it was just gonna be my 4x4 snowboarding rig because i was getting tired of putting chains on my accord which does great in the snow btw. after one wheeling trip with some guys on the marlin board i was forever hooked. 2 years has gone and past. seems like i should have more done but so hard trying to keeping it with OEM parts and stock looking. i got a few changes for her soon.

Yeah but a 4k utv winch is almost the same price of a 8k truck winch...not knocking thr idea i like the originality but unless u get 2 killer deals i think u would be better off with 1 center mounted 8k

ill have to get a picture but with aftermarket wheels. 15x8 3.75bs i think. 32x11.5x15 the front has no wheel spacers and the rear has 1.25 wheel spacers. the front wheels is about 4 inches past the top of the fender. the rear is like an inch or so.

Thanks man, I cant wait to see how it will all end up myself! You have by far the most useful and clear quality vids and photo's representing the blazeland stuff, gets that option back to the forefront of my mind for when its time to come back around to suspension.

been a while since i done any mods so here we go. got these little leds that are very bright for its size. i only used 10 whites on the under side. still got 10 more whites im saving till i see a use plus 5 red i might use somewhere in the cab to help keep my night vision when lighting is needed. (red keeps your eyes from adjusting for more light)
i used 3M dual lock so i can move/remove them when needed. also used quick connects if one ever fails. i still need to wire in a switch and find a place for it
this is how they come all wired together
i rewired them for easier install
i might add one more in the middle front for future front camera
wont be adding any more to rear since i got plans for a custom rear bumper with lights
trail repairs at night wont be so dark anymore

haha i wish. i just gonna get a rock light switch
i paid $40 shipped. took two weeks and heard you can get them from ebay for cheaper. only reason i went with this place was it shows up much faster but as you can see 2 weeks is not fast. ebay would have been around the same amount of time but would have to work on finding the same ones he is selling. anyways here is the link about people talking about them
http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/misce...20-lights.html
heres the link to buy. comes in many colors and when i order them he threw in 5 more for free at any color
http://www.horsepowerjuice.com/led-lights.html
i didnt see much night wheeling so i never got into the whole off road lights and rock lights. the last few times i been out, we had to wheel back down at night so i decided to jump on the light wagon and got mo lights. plus i can keep them on all night when camping for camp lights in a way

Omg wow This is the first email ive gotten for an update to your thread. i missed out alot of posts lol
Well to reply to your last comment to me, YES! snowboarding in big bear is the best. I usually hit up Big Bear or Snow Summit. They are both great. But i prefer the big bear one. Steeper trails = going faster! lol I actually plan to go snowboarding this year. I bought my snowboard/ gear 5 years ago and ive only used it 2ce since then. i havent gone back in 3 years! It is hard. but i definitely dont wanna put it off another year.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As for your Under LED light mod that is awesome. I never thought about needing lights under thr truck till you mentioned repairs on dark trails and i was like, "OHHHHHH YEA!!!!! That's so true!" that'll be really helpful to have. and Btw it reminds of The Fast and the Furious movies Hahaha
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As far as surpassing Mark's and your Rigs combined lol I seriously doubt that. You guys have 2 of the cleanest trucks ive seen on YotaTech; But thanks for the load of confidence. I'll definitely try to get this baby looking as clean as i can possibly get it to look. I'm thinking about getting the few paint chips, scratches re painted and repaired and the giving it like 4-5 coats of wax to make it shine its beautiful Charcoal gray color! Heck i might even get a new 4Runner Camper, in better shape then mine, and have painted the same color as my truck the way BlakeFogt did. that made it look pretty clean too. Then all the fun additions will begin.
Woo man cant wait!
