    The room is the size of a large microwave. Very light. Just bulky.

    Looking back on it, I wish I just did it once correctly. I'm dreading having to go back in there and do it all over again.
    Those SCS's though... That'd be a hard one for me to say no to.

    Here is my take as I have replaced my suspension, wheels and generally changed my 4runner. Suspension wise it really depends on what you plan to do with it. I can tell you that going from 5100/Eibachs to Fox 2.5's was very noticeable on and off road. Really changed the way it drove. Also if you don't have them yet I would add UCA's. Some people say they aren't necessary, but it's usually someone who doesn't have UCA's. They made it drive so much better and wheeling was smoother.

    I LOVE my SCS wheels and they really change the look of the truck. Can't say enough good things about the quality/fitment of the wheels and Vin's customer service.

    Picking up some Donahoe coilovers that need a rebuild this weekend for the Tundra. I had bought them in the past and sold them to a friend who never did anything with them, so I'm buying them back for the Tundra. Going to do a full rebuild and get some 14x650 coils to help with the heavy V8. Thinking of painting the coils white to match the truck.

    Wow Sam...your room looks awesome. Now I know it's an ARB, but will it work with any of the RTT? Like could you set your room up and the ladder from the tent come down through the roof, so you were still inside when you came out of the tent??

    Or...since the room is an ARB...it will not work with any RTT?? Either way...nice room that just rolls up up on the side of your 4Runner. I'm really hoping I can take advantage of the GB Ramon is holding on RTT...fianlly?!?

    Well I figured since Ramon has such a thing against mud he wouldn't want to see all the fun we had in it today ;)

    I hate mud but it was unavoidable and with my set up it just gets everywhere.
    Here's a little poser action for y'all.
