We did a birthday run in Woodland Park, CO. We hit up Rampart Range Road, Hotel and Missouri Gulch and ended it in Mini Mob. It was definitely a fun and challenging run. I haven't hit dirt in soooo long, so it was nice to get out.

One video:
 
Just got back from doing a 1k mile camping trip and noticed that my LCA was black when it should have been covered in mud. I also noticed the shock body was also black and looked to be covered in grease. I emailed Ironman yesterday(Sunday) and they got back to me today. They asked for pictures, which I provided and they immediately stated they would be sending me a new strut. No idea when or where the shock started leaking, but I can say the ride quality never diminished with the oil leaking. Basically this is what the email stated "we'll get a replacement strut (45710FE) sent your way soon! Your Foam Cell Pro should be fine driving on until you get it replaced... one of the benefits of having foam." I am pretty happy with Ironmans Customer Service. They were easy to deal with for sure.

This is where we ended it. My buddy was comfortable pushing his Runner up this section.

How has that AEM air filter worked out? Is it keeping your throttle body clean even during dusty roads? :grinning:

In anticipation of my Trail Standard Offroad bumper coming in, I started wiring up the CaliRaisedLED Dual button switch OEM switch. Next step is wiring up the existing light bars so I can do a quick wire job when I get the 30" ExtremeLED X6s light bar.

Nice build, I will be watching as I have a 2021 4Runner. For the switches I used the ones from Amazon (Cx something or other ) and they are junk, installed and they worked a couple times now will not depress… Going to switch over to the Cali ones..

I really like my CaliRaised one. Just a heads up, the switch panel right next to the steering wheel(pictured far right) will need a little bit a filing to get to depress nicely. There is a little notch in there that interferes with he button.
