Guest, UPDATE We went through the site migration runbook and completed all steps. We will need to complete the migration next week, but will leave the forums up for the weekend. A few days after maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

Few things in nature are as beautiful as a 4Runner covered in snow.

Yes indeed,....... you have a very nice kitted-out 4 Runner. F/R bumpers are just what I would want on a TOY like you have. The Propane and water/fuel can setup with the dual swing-outs are mounted they way I would do it. The only change would be to preferably move the Hi-Lyft jack behind the spare, or secondly, up on the side rack/basket area. This, because I have read about the bull-bar jack bolts shearing where you have it mounted, and coming back into the windshield in a severe accident.
It looks like your winch is nicely tucked back in, and the front bumper does not have the extreme BULGE, some Bull-Bumpers have. Great Look!
What brands were used in your build?
PS. The rock sliders you have also give good versatility for protection and as a egress step. The hoops are what better designed sliders have, as they push your side body panels away from damage when clearance is minimal.

Clay responded to one of my posts on XO's YouTube page. If you check out Garmin's website, you can find the video of Rufio, and someone posted photos of Apollo on this forum.

I agree 100%, I tried to find a new Calvary Blue in late 2018 and couldn't find one within 500 miles so I went with Voodoo and love it!!!

Thank you for the compliments on my build, it taken about a year and three months. What I like the most about it is I did all the work myself, short of the Front & Rear ARB air locker and 4:88 re-gear install.
Initially I wanted to mount my Hi-Lift on the rear bumper, but there is really nowhere to mount it and I use to have it up on the rear of my rack but I'm trying to keep weight below the center of gravity... I found the bull bar mount at @Agency6 and it is super beefy, it will have to be one heck of a crash to sheer off the bolts, besides I don't drive fast anymore!!!

Forest green and gold is a real sharp combo. Too pretty for the FR trails.

No no no I would still drive it up there Idk! That’s what they make paint and car washes for.

@Slimpartywagon says it would look really nice with a big old dent in the rear corner panel.
Enthusiast II
now that is a sexy beast! You do anything special under the hood to counter all that weight?
