TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

Well brother got his treadwright 35" muds installed on his mall crawler. Ha. CMC, 1.5" BL, Icon lift, trimmed fender flare/liner, pinch weld mod, and it still rubs. But that's 35 life I guess.

 

He's running 2.5" up front and I believe the icon 3" rear from metal tech. We could notch up the front a bit but if rides great and CVS are happy.

 

Standard rate coils with addicted off-road bumper. No winch. Weighs about 75lb. They may have settled a bit. The pictures look deceiving compared to seeing it in person. That's even with a 1.5" body lift. We may need to crank it up a bit.

 

Same. I haven’t RE adjusted but I need to a touch. Finally settled.

 

The TreadWrights run pretty damn true to size. My duratracs never rubbed as bad as my TWs. Good lookin rig

 

saw that haha looks ridiculous.

 

That is so true. He got the Claws and seem to sit taller than the guard dogs.

 

one person on each side with a step stool and you're good to go haha. no need for some crazy wood and slides.

 

thats exactly what i was thinking. don't 'they way like 100ish pounds?

 

Step stool? You’re like 9’12”

 

100lbs over top of my head isnt easy. Much easier chest high while on a stool

 

Its been an interesting two days, that feels more like a week. I explored the Minnesota coast some more yesterday before heading west across the state.

I did a little exploring/offroading along the way in a Minnesota forest to celebrate rolling over 250k miles.

Eastern North Dakota is about as boring as it gets, but the western part of the state is beautiful. I camped last night in the middle of nowhere underneath a million stars.

Today I spent a few hours in the Theodore Roosevelt National Park in the Badlands of North Dakota. So much scenery, and Bison everywhere.

I left there and crossed into Montana, state number 41 for me.

This storm started brewing on the horizon, so I stopped to take a picture, and ended up staying for an hour watching the lightning show.

Now I'm near Cody, WY camped on top of a mountain. Tomorrow I head towards Yellowstone.

 

Yeah man, it's been a blast so far

Hahaha you guys get a sneak peak before everyone else sees it 6 months later. I always intend to get it done sooner, but then stuff comes up. Or I'm just lazy...

I really like the lightning picture too. The camera on the S8 is pretty cool. You can do a long exposure and adjust the ISO also. The ones I took with my camera should be even better.

 

Shit imma need a snorkel to drive around here

 

You love it

 

Yaaaaa.gonna love it this weekend,
We are gonna be slippin and sliding

 

We got hammered by rain and the mountains got pounded by snow up here. So you’ll be fine when you slubs steal all our water.

 

Finally a thread I can get behind

That makes 2 of us. He's also running a 650 pound coil with an aluminum front bumper. Need like a 14" 600 coil. Or non-digressive valving.

 

A little driveway flex after the alignment today. Need to beat some metal back so I can tuck them 35’s
