    Dynatrac ProRock 60 Rear Axle, that is important enough.
    Man, saw the pictures on Insta first and loved them. Seeing those pictures really makes it look even better.

    That front bumper is just sick!

    Gaaaah makes me want a 4runner sooo bad now!

    Side note: What D rings are running on the front?

    Some new Trip Reports since I'm lazy.

    Azusa Canyon SVRA (08/27/2016)

    Headed back to Azusa Canyon but this time with some friends, @MADSTEEZE, @lesterb315, and @1truckdriver.

    First water crossing was pretty deep again. I am wanting a snorkel now.




    @MADSTEEZE flew around a bit.



    Found a few offshoots that were interesting.



    After getting to the main mud hole, we helped change a tire on a jeep who broke a bead.


    I had to head out early since I was flying out to Europe, but @lesterb315 and @MADSTEEZE stuck around a bit.



    Sparks, NV (09/20/2016)

    I made the long haul up to visit the good folks at @RelentlessFab. I've been planning this trip with them ever since I got my rear bumper order put in many months ago. Luckily, they sent me pics of their prototype Stingray Front Bumper for the 4Runner and were able to whip me one up while I was in Europe. Rig got quite a makeover in 1 day. Front and rear.

    Showing up to this in the shop was like waking up on Christmas!



    Front Install:

    First Cuts







    Not bad! My bumper is slightly tweaked from the time I hit a tree so I have a minor gap on one side of the steel but it is not very noticeable.

    Next up was the rear. I didn't take any photos of this install, but the results speak for themselves.





    And some twinning shots:



    Eric is a great Fabricator and I trust him 100% cutting up the rig. At first I was uneasy about someone else cutting up the truck, but after watching the front bumper install, it's obvious he knows very well what he is doing. Couldn't be happier with @RelentlessFab quality and the awesome people that work there.

    I didn't. I actually had a big drama with the DMV on Friday which made my rig illegal to drive so I couldn't leave. Turns out the DMV lost all my paperwork when the previous owner and I transferred title. So the car was still his.

    Somebody on t4r.org pointed out that my plates were expired. I thought somebody stole my 2017 sticker so I went to get a new one. When I went in they told me that I am not the owner... Luckily, I know the previous owner and we got it all worked out.

    I think I'll camp. Haven't camped in a while.

    Kinda nervous to throw my RTT back up on top of the rig at this point. I think I need new springs with the new bumper and tent. It holds the bumper fine, but we will see.

    Truck looks great man!

    I think you need to get behind the front grill and paint that silver part black though... just a suggestion.

    Ha, that is how I feel about most things.

    That front bumper looks great on the rig though. I think I may have asked you on Instagram, but what D-rings are you running up front? Needing to get some for the Pelfreybilt bumper before it gets in and I like the Red pin and such.

    PS. Who did your sig picture?
