Sounds like we are in the same boat with family obligations
I wouldn't do too much different to tell you the truth. The 4Runner works very well and was relatively cheap to build. I have more invested in the SAS and linking it now than what it cost to buy and build the rig originally.
There are certainly things I could have not done or done a little differently. Biggest being putting the roll cage in first. Luckily my daughter was not with me when we rolled it without a cage.
Surprisingly all of the stock parts have healed up great considering they have close to 300k on them and are over 25 years old. Only part that wore out was the idler arm. Bought a used one and it has been fine.
For trail riding with the kids and wanting to hit some harder trails with them, it has been great. Adding the doubler and rear locker were the keys to making it work.
If you want pictures of anything in particular or shoot some ideas around, let me know, happy to help.

Doin really well JT! We have our four kids who are 4, 6, 8, and 10. Between piano, soccer, basketball, et cet we are busy to say the least. Sounds like you are in the same routine.
I haven't gotten out wheelin as much either but I've shuffled rigs again. Presently I have my BJ45 trayback and a rust free 89' 4Runner which brings me to your thread
Would you do anything different?
