    Haha yup. That Jeep looks awesome and is more or less like a chase vehicle for trails. Has no lockers though...

    Yup, that's Nathan haha Helped him install his front bumper.

    Yeah, I've talked to Nate a few times - he's known as NateMob on the T4R forums. Nice guy!

    What's your fav generation 4Runner?

    5th gens have too much superfluous body styling! and too much computer stuff! They are growing on me though. My 2nd fav gen is the 4th gens. But the 3rds hold my heard hahaha.

    So I'm trying to decide what my next "big purchase" is going to be. It's between a roof mounted 42" double row LED light bar, or a snorkel. The light bar would end up being about $100 more in the end.

    Or is there something else you guys suggest that I should get instead?

    I'd say skids or bumpers next. A snorkel or light bar would be cool but I think undercarriage protection or bumpers is a better way to go

    Skids seem to be a good choice

    Going to wait until the local FJ Rally on Labor day for skids. It's very likely I can win some there. I'm going to win something no matter what. If not, I'll buy skids the next day. Haha

    As for bumpers, those aren't going to happen until I redo my suspension and everything.

    Meh, I've never cared for how they look unless it's put behind the gap in the valence.
