trekker's taco and Melly's 4R

Not sure you want to know the answer to this...

Upper Control Arms - Ordered today...
Swap front brake lines for the extended ones I have, will do this when I do the UCAs
Install 3 more rock lights - have 2 at the house, need to get one more
Exhaust Reroute - would like to do... but not super needed yet.
Fix slider paint and skid paint as I like to go fresh to jambo and then see the battle scars
Get some stickers on the truck
Remove my spare tire mount chain and such

Possibly try and get a winch, but not sure I will be able to swing that for Jambo. Would also like to upgrade the tent, but not sure yet.

 

I've been thinking about it for us... and here's what we need to do MUST DO ITEMS:

Install your 3 remaining skids
Install your bumper with winch
Install your prinsu rack

For my truck... I need to pull the rear third, remove the old gasket and reseal the diff with just RTV.
Get in touch with URD to figure out where the hell my y pipe is and get that installed so I can also throw on my last skid
Re-do my CB stuff, maybe go HAM on this bitch

What would be nice to get done HOPE TO DO ITEMS:

Install your cameras like mine - I'm reluctant to do this right away, because I think it'd be beneficial for you to get some more experience without the aid of cameras - if that makes sense
Install a light bar in your bumper while we've got it off the 4R, but I don't think we will have time to rig the electronics... still, if we can't install a light bar while it's mounted to the vehicle then we should do it before we install the bumper so we don't have to find help to take the thing off again.
Install rock lights on the 4R, but again we need to do the electronics first and preferably rear bumper too
Get a rear bumper from CBI on the 4R

For my truck... it'd be nice to refit the rear corner of the flares, then pull them all off and coat them
Figure out wheel liners
Paint correct some of my rough spots
Pull the front light bar, disassemble and reseal it to prevent condensation

Other stuff will all be things we get to tend to after Jambo, and that list is way too long

 

That's some drivin!

 

I wanna talk smack about how quickly I got my bumper (just to give you grief) but I suppose that wouldn't be nice.

I wish you luck though!! Hopefully you will get yours sooner than expected too!

Your list is really short - that is good!!

Do I need to go ahead and order a light bar then since I assume we will be putting my bumper on next weekend?

 

Truth!​

 

Yeah we'll probably get the bumper on next weekend, so if we can get you a bar by next Friday that'd be great. I need to look at the specs on that bumper to see what we can fit there.

 

There was a 20" Baja Design S8 bar for sale in the classified sticky a couple days ago FYI.

 

And depending on how it mounts... you would prob be able to mount a bar without having to remove the bumper honestly.

That is what I did with the Rigid Bar that I had in the pelfrey, it was easy to remove and install without having to take the bumper off.

 

yeah I can remove mine easily, but idk how different the bumpers/front ends of the 4Rs are from the tacos

 

I know nothing about this stuff - so you just send me a link and I'll get it!

 

Phew - I got tired just reading that!

 

Yea, 4Runners are a little different I suppose.

I am hoping that if I did a winch, i won't have to remove my bumper to install it and that I can just get it in the bumper from above.

 

I have no idea what any of that means lol

all of my lights on my truck (aside from the LED strip rock lights) I got through group buys of @Iggy Iggycorp lights.

idk how well that's going to work... winches be big and stuff

 

I've got too much to do to list...Sorry lol

 

What is realistic to accomplish?

 

Yea, now that I look at it... it does not seem as much now that the rear locker is finished, fenders will be trimmed and done tonight...

UCAs and front brake lines would be a day install, doing the rock lights should not be too hard as I am just going to splice them into the existing rock lights and will prob just mount 2 for now and go ahead and have one mounted at the rear to light up the rear axle and and try and mount another one in the middle of the truck to light up the underneath of the truck better.

 

30k in the first year...

Bring it! I got my big boy pants on today. I probably won't cry myself to sleep tonight.

Mines kinda tight with the winch installed but I'm pretty sure I could change the light bar with the bumper installed. Def easier with it off the vehicle though.

You should need to hurry to the bottom sideof the winch tray to bolt it down. That could be tricky.

 

Tire rotation
​

And also install my new waterport tank and Rotopax- this I can handle
