I hate running a front sway bar on these IFS Toyotas. I went ahead and removed that and added limit straps to preserve the stock ball joints while I wait for new control arms.

Ok putting 35’s on a stock early 2000’s rig was stupid. So a 3” lift was installed. I did some minor trimming of the front fender and bashed in the firewall. Next I’ll be removing the sway bar and adding limit straps to save the stock arms. Eventually I want to go with a long travel kit. Any...

Next mod was of course fitting the biggest tires possible with no lift. So I ordered up some 35’s to put on a set of trailready beadlocks I had laying around. Holy cow was it impossible to pull the old tires off the beadlocks. Someone had glued the inner bead on and I ended up having to take...

As with any adventure rig, the first mod must be lights! I had these strands laying around off of my 4runner. I drilled some holes and added backing plates. Now the family won’t be scared when going to the mall at night! 😂

Welp after selling off some rigs I was able to get a new family rig. With a family of 6 the options are pretty limited. We settled on a 2004 Limited Sequoia. 240k miles and bone stock.

We get it, lean is kind of addicting

KOH 2026 for the Idaho Boys will start 2/4 and we’ll be leaving on 2/8. We’re planning on bringing down a few rigs from Boise. Where are you coming from and what rigs are you bringing!

Send that shit up, you know where I live!

Perfect! Thank you, I hope I can have a reliable 3.0 lol

Hey guys, I just picked up a 2nd gen 4runner with…. You guessed it, a blown headgasket 😂 Anyways at the moment the plan is to fix the 3.0, and upgrade to headers to help mitigate the head gasket problems. Next I plan on SAS’ing it with a D44 in the front and then run 40-42” tires. This rig will...

Here is an old thread I found on Pirate4x4 from JeepRecoveryTeam. What’s the consensus on water in tires for crawlers?? “We've been running ballast - mostly water - in the front tires for a couple of years now. I'm pretty confident that we have enough data to figure what 'too' much is. Keep...

KOH Feb 6th - 9th We’ll be attending KOH this year. We look forward to seeing everyone there!
