Thanks I need to start a build thread. Trucks are great for modding way too many options and configurations for the rear bed

Don't powdercoat your sliders. It's a waste of $$$. Paint them and them touch them up every now and then.Received and installed Southern Style Offroad rock sliders on my 2016 4Runner Trail.
Decided to keep them bare metal (oiled) for now. Might paint or powder coat if I can decide on the color.

I am considering bare metal with Fluid Film to prevent rust. Anyone do this?

Well, today I decided to find a home for my MaxTrax MKII's on my Gobi rack. Unfortunately I have one of the first racks built for the 5 gen 4Runner so my bars are permanent. Well, one is now. lolI cut my back bar off and now need to grind and paint and then get an adjustable one. With the price of a new rack and the wait time I thought I'd just try and mod it myself. I got the MaxTrax to fit but it was not so easy. I wish Gobi had a system similar to the Front Runner or Rhino as an option and not just grid bottom but overall it's a great solid rack. Just had me scratching my head a little to figure out the set up. Feel better going out with these on my rig though.

Stayed in the gordigear RTT for the first time, haven't seen many others in person so don't have much to compare to but it's a quality piece of gear for sure

Upgraded my water pump on my trailer. Went from a 2 gal/min, to a sureflo 3gal/min. Mainly because the 2 gal/min had barbed ends and leaked all the time. The surflo I can actually screw fittings to have real piping. Ready for the next trip!

Dude I so want a trailer like yours... I have trailer envy. I've been eyeing them a lot lately. Currently my X does all that I need, but I would rather have a trailer ready to go in less time than it takes for me to get the X ready... which is not long. I like Michaels out of town in 20 minute video. While I think I could do it if I had to, I would rather have a trailer and a food kit that just gets tossed in. Currently its my anal retentiveness that makes my trips take time in preparedness. I start at the front of the truck and work back. I touch alot and look at everything. It only take 30 minutes to do, but is part of the process. Then I go thru the bags. Oddly, just this week I pulled my GHB and all battery operated devices. Typically 95% of everything in the truck can run on AA batteries, but I keep a pair of higher power 18650 battery powered lights. For AA I use eneloop exclusively. I own a couple hundred... yes hundred, Im a prepper and I trust my future to them, great batteries. For the 18650 I usually use eagletac, but picked up some orbitronic which were praised higher... oddly, all 6 will not hold any charge after 5 months. The eagletac does. so I just added 2 eagletac to the GHB instead of the orbitronic. Thank you to Amazon for quick delivery (not 2 days to to LIion batteries) but its quick enough.
I hope to run into you out and about one day to get a close up of your trailer if you do not mind. But keep us updated with the build of it.

fabricated new mounting brackets to mount the new high lift on Grizzly yesterday!
Today I finally got around to putting the fab fours off the gate rear tire carrier on. Mounted to my old fab bumper. Nice thing about this one is that yes it's made in the U.S..But it's also timed to the gate like the aev type. My old one had a separate latch. A pain. Then I moved to a hd hinge but wouldn't work with my bumper and only carried 130lbs. So should be set for when I put campimg gear on there and maybe a titan fuel caddy. Have not talked myself into it yet .

Thanks! It'e been a great build and a ton of fun. Really makes it easier to get out quick. Throw in some food and clothes and take off. Whenever we get done with a trip, we re-prep it ready to leave right away again so we don't have to mess with it when we want to somewhere. I'd be happy to show it off sometime when we cross paths. I'll try to keep updates posted for those interested!
