    Thanks, It's been a lot of fun so far. It is far better than my gopro, which is pretty good. The coilovers are great given the 150 miles I've used them. I mounted the reservoirs where you did and they seam to be fine for now. The rear are a tremendous improvement over the icons I had. Its incredibly stable on the road and highway even without sway bars. It holds corners and doesn't buck back after the turn like the icons did.

    Here are some photos from Engineer pass and hurricane pass last weekend. It was the fj summit but those guys move pretty quick. I waved a lot but only got waved back at a few times. I'm thinking the 4runner is a pretty inexpensive base vehicle and gets snubbed by the more expensive fj crowd. The only person that said anything was in a Tacoma from lousiana. Four guys and they yelled out some cool comments. Oh well they all are gone now and back in the cities.

    Here is a group of the Fj's. I actually let them by. The leader was in an fj55 and it was quite built. He wasn't really liking me leading them up through the trail despite going pretty fast. Being that we weren't on a time schedule we sat back and enjoyed the view.

    This guy waited until I was right at the top the decided he wanted to go for it.

    Hit Stony pass....On are way up we pulled over and debated continuing as it was already getting cloudy. We pushed through and were getting coffee at our favorite place in Silverton.This isn't it, it is just to the left, I just liked the colors of these buldings.

    Stopped up the road to air down and found a problem.

    Problem resolved and things quickly got better.

    We came across these two. I got about 50 pretty good pictures of them. Just seeing this easily made the trip.'

    That bulge is why I got new tires last week.
