Some more pix All in the crowsnest pass alberta Canada.

Good on ya for finding the used bumper. I looked a little but couldn't find one anywhere. I like the 5 spoke wheels much better than the 6 spokes. The 5 spokes apparently clear with no grinding. So you should be good there with the 231's. If you go on YouTube and type 3rd gen 4runner lift...

A week and a half ago I drive all around south western Alberta and up into the crows nest pass. Did a little wheeling up an old logging road. Was actually pretty epic but forgot to take wheeling pictures as usual. I came down from the mtn and took this picture in the mcglivery staging area with...

Here's some pictures of my may long trip. Had to lock er up a couple times during the week. Slept next to the river and drive around plenty in the back country of western Alberta. This was the head waters of the old man river and the Livingston mountain range gap. I did the whip antenna mod...

If you want to go light weight, use aluminum. I would have too but didn't have a proper welder at the time. It's something I wanted to modify in the future but the 2x6 with a 1/4 inch strapping worked perfect. The boards are not overly long and weight savings would be minimal. The wood is 3/4"...

I just took the grinder the back of the rim. It's so minimal that it's not a big deal. If you have a choice, go as big as you can get. Peddle feels good still. No lag. Just good brakes.

I was going to use the boat tank. For the same reasons you mentioned being on a roof rack and wanting lower profile with cap on top. I've only got a roof rack for storage for now and don't want a leak. Bought a mint boat tank at a garage sale for 5 dollars. I say giver. Bring a funnel or a...

Has factory rear locker. That's good enough for me. Did the wire mod so I can engage anytime. Also did the Tundra brakes this past week. Contemplating poly sway bar bushings and rack bushings next.

Also just installed a new ARB bumper, M8000 winch, Tundra front brakes, bilstein 5100's, ome rear coils and Tundra front coils.

I'm getting ready to explore utah once I have the time to leave work. So I've already built this bed a while ago. I just pulled it apart again to router the edges nice and smooth and figured I'd take a few detailed pictures of how I did it. It fits a double futon mattress perfectly. You can...

Drove to Waterton for the day. Hiked up bears Hump and little walk up Cameron falls. I couldn't find my fishing rod before I left or I would have tried catching a couple trout for dinner. Next time I guess.

The front bumper was off a rolled tacoma. So that's why it doesnt fit properly. Signal lights were robbed so I temporarily have trailer marker lights till I install the arb bumper :'s I've put 11xxx km on it since I fixed it and she runs awesome. I've slept in it for around 30 nights. A futon...

More random pix I cut hole to hole on both rigs to get the perfect piece to weld back to the body. Bought some paint matched rattle can and made it look like it never happened. The frame was straight as an arrow. It just ripped the body mount a bit so I cut one off another 4runner and welded it...

I've lurked these forums for the last 8 years. I've owned hdj81 and an 85 pickup and now I've got a 3rd Gen 4runner. I haven't modified it yet other than all the maintained ect. Put a bed in the back and have been using it for small camping trips. I live in southern alberta Canada. Just north...
