Got so close but ran out of welding wire. Still need to cut out for the light bar and decide if I’m gonna weld on d-ring tow points or not. The factory tow points are easily accessible just below the bumper and I think it looks good keeping it clean and simple.

Never posted the finished 4runner bumper so here it goes.



Also last weekend weather. Never fails to snow on NAU graduation day.

Did a fun little photo shoot/filming with Tacomabeast after the expo last Sunday. Can’t wait to see the edited video. This was the sneak peak photo they posted.

Yeah skid will straddle the hitch like this. Not sure if I’ll mount the winch in the bed or back seat yet. Need to add a few skid supports as well so it’ll have a little angle profile

Rental tow rig has been getting pulled back on availability.

Been hot so bumper progress has been slow the last few weeks. Just about wrapped up. Just need to weld the tabs for the upper skid and then get everything painted.



Coworker has a small machine shop with laser so he helped cut the skid out of aluminum. This was the first attempt after some rough cad. Final product follows lines better and we moved mounting holes a little.



And while over there couldn’t resist using the forklift for a drop test.

No real updates on the truck but had a few fun trips since the last post.

First up was the 2nd annual BLGT Labor Day trip. This year was in Sand Hollow. Weather was a bit warm but this is one of my favorite places.







My buddy decided to up the anti for our koh efforts and buy a 4400 car. So no more 4800, time to play with the big boys.




Acquired a camper for the tow pig.





And spent thanksgiving in cal city, then Johnson valley with the race team for some fun and to shake down the new car.






He needs to get some seat time and get more comfortable. But after I tweaked some of the bypass tubes he started to pick up some speed. New car is in a whole other leave from the old one.
