i do love the LT and it wont be coming off. i had a line on farm use only runner i was gonna do a SA build but after months of going back and forth, they decide to keep it.. damn!

havent been on here much due to crappy snow season and lack of motivation lol. also i been working on my tundra here and there trying to figure out how to build a true expo rig.

these are from 2.8.14
pretty slushy snow till we got much higher





my big brother to my runner


pretty cool to winch up to the runners big brother lol

off camber and slushy snow didnt help

I wanna say 14psi. Over the years when I started snow wheeling I went down to 10psi. As my tires see more and more low pressure the side walls get softer and softer. I started to run 15 psi in the snow and air down as needed. 11-12 is what I normally run and will go down to 10 if I'm determined to get pass a certain spot to keep up with guys locked front and rear.

Haha thank you. Can't take credit for the bumper. I had a local fab guy hook it up. Brute Force Fab.

Not much update on the build. Just waiting for the season to start. Weather has been crappy and I need to get back into the groove of rock crawling. Doesn't help that I been building my tundra for more of a true expo style rig. The runner just isn't gonna cut it for now. The tundra is just much more comfy for those long hauls.

Anyways from a recent trip.

Got him right side up. Hardly any damage. Crack windshield was mainly it. His mini half cage saved a lot.

Hi toyo, dang man your post on the snow pix had me for a sec. I was like OHHHH TOYO WENT SAS!!! lol but then saw the front bumper and figured it out. its still a nice rig though. I like how you use your 4runners rear bumper tire swing. that design was genius. like the unbrella idea.

Hey Not sure if you'll have any time but Mark and i are going to Big Bear for John Bull and Gold Mountain next thursday 8/14/14. If you have time to come it would be awesome to meet you and have you join us on the trip. I know you come from up north so we would probably have to meet actually in big bear. Let us know if youre interested in joining us dude. as of right now we have 4 rigs that i know of. Not sure if Mark has gotten more yet. still 4 should still make for a fun day.

Brought a polaris RZR and rolled it on my second trip at the dunes. Rolled end over end 2.5 times or so. Not to much damage but I'm on process of fixing it. Haven't been wheeling much in the runner. Went to the desert on my 1st trip in the RZR.

The roll kinda got me out of the mood to go play. Snow season sucked.

Anyways. I won't be able to do big bear. Sorry. I been wanting to but after getting my tundra. I been going a different direction and trying to travel more. Got a few national parks I wanna go see on the way to Moab. Take like a week off

Haha yea. Stiff neck. RZR didn't even look that bad. Busted front right upper and lower BJ. Lower arm bent from flipping back over I think. Front bumper support bent. And one tie rod bent. Got stuff on order. Mostly used parts. Trying to get it all back together and see how the cage looks. I been dying to get back to the dunes. Ruined my trip with the roll.
