    So. Many. Stickers.
    If you can, draw a bead (welding) behind your alignment cab tab to keep it from bending outward or outright breaking. Or get cam alignment tabs welded in. Either way.... The factory tabs are a tad weak.

    I see Jeep won their lawsuit....

    Yeah, I know I need to do something with the alignment tabs. Was thinking about getting the Total Chaos Cam Gussets. Just not sure if I'll get them in before the trip at the end of March.

    Forgot about these from oil change day. Wiped off the last of the Tigerton mud. Kinda cathartic. Then did the most recommended mod of them all. Getting rid of the air dam. Still surprised it didn't get damaged at all. And finally one of the two Packouts I bought. Feels nice to have the leftover front camera materials organized and put away. Not enough room for the wire wrap or strippers. But that just means buying bigger Packouts. The other has been used to store random screws,nuts and bolts from the kitchen drawer so I stopped getting yelled at :rolleyes:

    Thanks for reminding me, I have a spare to sell as well. Probably for less, those cables usually only bring $100-$150ish used

    I went for a little joyride after work today, to ease my curiosity. Very much as expected. Yet, I still want one... Help! :anonymous:

    Luckily they didn't have any with manual transmissions. And, they quoted me some shitty ass prices.

    I mostly wanted to just get a good idea how much cargo space there really was, and try to picture how I would adapt to such a small vehicle.

    It would certainly be a compromise.

    Now I have to decide between keeping a very nice vehicle that is pretty damn good off-road, or trading for a decent vehicle that is amazing off-road. I would like to have both eventually. But, I've gotten to the point where I kind of wish I hadn't gotten KDSS, even though I still think it's a very cool option. So, I don't know if I really want this to keep modifying this 4runner.

    Luckily I'm not as impulsive as I was in my 20's or the next picture would probably be a Jeep in my driveway.

    I could picture that, due to the upright position. It's actually pretty common with 4runners as well. I'm on my 2nd, and it has a chip in it.

    I would expect nothing less than constant harassment and heckling, which I would certainly deserve.

    I know we've welcomed Heeps on our adventures before, though.

    It's seriously a struggle. I grew up in Toyotas. Learned to drive in a Toyota. Owned one Hyundai and 10 Toyotas. Am I going nuts even thinking about this?

    Or spend some cash on a different daily and go all out on the 4Runner!

    Yes. I should really consult @LarryDangerfield on this!

    Haha!

    You do know what the "J" in "FJ" stands for, right? :boink:

    You’d have to be properly trained in the Jeep “wave”. Do they charge for that training?
