<p>What a trip! You have Montana, Idaho, and Utah if you keep in a straight line south. That will be extremely scenic. I used to work in Western Colorado if you deviate farther east of Utah. That will be a great one, Cappy. Bring a fly fish rod if you're into that.</p>

<p>4 new long travel shocks in, then small stuff. New bulbs, new gas shocks for the lift gate etc...and next up is copying @Steve and getting some light in the cargo area that's actually effective! </p> <p> </p> <p>Tomorrow I'm going to head out and scout Hi...

Throw'em! I'm dying to get over there. I hear mimosas just taste better in those woods...

I say The OB clan gets out of there with At Least a maxxtraxx set! 😁

You know, Sequoia is less than 3 hours from me....hmmm...

Sounds awesome but I'll have to later in the year. (Should have new needed parts by then too) I'm thinking Sequoia in the early Fall. If you go, someone map it please!

I refilled my refrigerant. Super easy and should have done it a while ago. 30 bucks and a$10 refund for bringing the can back to recycle. If your a/c  doesn't blow that cold, it was super easy. Also ordered new led bulbs for interior lights and gas shocks for the old lift gate. It's the little...

Got it up in the air today, learned a lot and set some priorities . This is going to be fun!

@michael My second 0012 arrived today as a birthday gift from my girlfriend. Tell me that's not a keeper! Thanks for assisting in that...

You guys are huge helps. I really appreciate it.

I do, udoxx. They hadn't seen my setup. Right now, it looks like coils is the way to go as I'm also doing ball joints and a new radiator in the very near future.

@duncan it makes sense, but to me it seems coil replacement first off is a better route. This weekend I'm putting it up in the air to replace ball joints that look ancient and ready to die. Then I'll be able to see the coils and shocks to see the real situation, so we will see!

@michael @mike @duncan So what was recommended to me by a 4Runner only mechanic in my area was just to get an additional leaf spring in the back...it should give about 2" of lift and help with 150-200 lbs I'm told. It would have some rake, but even when loaded, which is important for me. Anyone...

Gojira looks like an awfully fun project! Post updates and have fun with that.

That looks like a blast! Post some pics when you get back!

If anyone comes to my neck of the woods and feels like driving on some sand, the Pismo Dunes is a fun option. It's certainly not off the grid and certainly can be the opposite of "peaceful" at times, but it is fun. For 5 bucks you can drive on the beach and out into a designated dune area...

It's the same out here out west too. I love it when the signs conflict!

Right Michael! It's the same. I have it for emergencies and last Saturday was way up in the Ventana wilderness again and wanted to see what my truck could do. I figured why not try airing down. (Climbed a very steep wash out no problem at all) I was surprised at how much difference it made. If I...

Thanks guys. I really do appreciate the insight. I don't plan to go too high at all, but want a better ride with weight in the back, so all this is great advice.

Sweet Tundra man!
