West of the Rockies 4runner

[FLYFISHEXPERT]

Glad to see another good looking 4Runner here in Idaho!

You would be surprised how much the rear will flex, even with the sway bar connected! Unless you have extended bump stops, installed with your lift, stop when you hear the driveshaft hitting the skid plate for the gas tank! ;-)

That's a great 4runner! It makes me miss my 99 Limited. Some wheel spacers or 8" wide wheels with slightly more off set look better with the massive fender flares on the limited. Good to see you're making good use of the truck.

Lucky you! Grant let you keep the NWOS badge, they are rare and that one is in great shape!!! Enjoy the rig you have a great rig for your growing family. Wished you could have made it to the Everett meet and greet.

Lol, someone actually PM'd me about the NWOS badge the other day. The picture that I have posted with the badge attached was a pic he had in his FS add. After the member on here pm'd me i had to run out to see what he was talking about. Needless to say it wasn't there

Would have been nice to stay in town for that long, but I had to venture onto the long drive back home.

I've got some plans for some wheels or spacers in the future, not sure which I will do. More armor (sliders/skids/rear bumper) will be done next time I visit AZ. Not sure how much more I can do after that for a while though

Long time no update I suppose....Nothing new done to the rig other than basic maintenance. Oil change, check air pressure, clean filter, windshield wipers, a few baths and overall enjoying it. Side note: I am selling one of my DD cars this week (the only vehicle that i make payments on) so that will clear up a lot more funds to put in savings and upgrades.

I've only got about 4 months left in Idaho, so i'm pretty excited to get back to AZ and take it around down there. (huge bummer that crown king has been on fire the past couple weeks, and all the other fires down there)

Thought that I would keep the thread alive and update with some more pics! Seeing as I have a 1yr old and 3yr old, this spring we have mainly been trying to acclimate them to our little safaris in the middle of nowhere. We plan on doing a few overnight camping trips this summer so these 4-6 hours rides have been great in getting them used to it.

Last weekend we went up to Silver City (old mining town/ghost town) just to see the area and enjoy the pines. Also headed over to Castle Rock and Anderson Dam, where we enjoyed views of the solar eclipse. We ended up driving all together probably 150 miles all off pavement in the 2 separate days
