From a Navigation (and comms) perspective, I really like my Garmin Rino T650.

From a communications perspective getting your HAM license is always a good idea. GMRS is a good system, being able to go up to 5w, and one license is good for everyone in the group, unlike HAM.

Looking forward to seeing the project take shape.

So glad your rig is coming back together!

@Josh funny you mentioned that Rino. My brother has a two year old he doesn't need anymore and he volunteered that today. Coupled with Gaia, I should be good on nav. Can't wait to play with it and see.

@michael thanks! It's going to to be a great base and start for me. Picked up a compressor too. I'm hoping it can all come together for Sept! Thank you once again for the stoke.

Back from the body work and good to go...kinda. A fender flare was the wrong part but "close enough" to not be noticed until the job was done. Not too happy, but it's better than a multiple panel dent!

The paint match is pretty close, considering its 15 years old.

 

[SLO Rob]

New shoes!

 

[SLO Rob]

And I believe this is the new (un)official OB air down valve holder! I think I have a first addition... @administrator what do you think?

 

[SLO Rob]

Huge thanks to @Mad_Garden_Gnome for helping with some barn wrenching and teaching me more about my truck. I really appreciate it and it was cool to meet your awesome family. Oh, and here's a pic of his Xterra owning my 4Runner

YOU DIDN'T GET THE CATHETER BAG IN THE PIC!

It was very good to meet you Robert. It was nice to have a vehicle mod afternoon. We look forward to having the family up.

Ha! The IV! I should have got the frankenrear in the pic!

Lift! OME 881/890

 

[Mad Garden Gnome]

Hows it ride? Are you going to keep the sway bars on it?

 

[SLO Rob]

Actually, it's far better. not stiff at all, but I do have about 150-200 in the back. Cornering feels much better. Not surprising because the coils had 164k on them. It's intentionally a little softer, with Rancho5000 shocks, because it is still my daily. Dying to get it off pavement!
-I've never driven without sway bars and I'm curious to see. I've heard people swear by it and some notsomuch....

 

[Mad Garden Gnome]

My sway bars came off, early. Not much change in on road manners but I know better than to drive it like a car. Articulation increased significantly.

 

[Lifestyle Overland]

Looks sharp! Flex it out!

 

[SLO Rob]

 

[Mad Garden Gnome]

Lookin' good man!

 

[SLO Rob]

Lookin' good man!

Feels good! Hopefully the sliders get on before Bald Mountain. Can't wait to get it dirty!

 

[Lifestyle Overland]

That's sweet! What sliders are you going with?

 

[4Runner]

Looks good, what size tires?

What benefits and cons would you get from removing sways?
