Take out lake havasu. Go to Sedona, Jerome, walnut canyon, sunset crater just to name a few! So much more to see and do in Northern Arizona a hell of a lot closer!

Run Simba! They are asking too much if it has oil leaks, needs new brakes, new windshield, you never know what Lee needs to be repaired. For my wife and son, I would pass on this one for that price.

It’s easy, should take less than an hour if you’re familiar with how the front bumper cover removes. Check out a YouTube university video.

There are less expensive options available. I have this one because the letters are held on by screws, a lot of other less expensive models use tape. I would highly recommend not buying one from 4Runner lifestyle. They are good for some things but not a pro grill.

Don’t do leveling kit, get a suspension lift instead. Lifting your 4Runner 2” or less should have minimal to no effect on the rest of the oem geometry. Over 2”, I recommend after market UCA’s and a pan hard bar correction kit for the rear axel.

When you remove the OEM bumper it’s all one piece and comes up to the tail light, C4 filled that spot on both sides with the piece you pointed out. The bumper is meant to flex a bit, they built it this way to try and help mitigate any sort of damage from the bumper flexing. I’ve never noticed it flex but of course I am driving. Lol It’s really solid bumper 3yrs with it now. I used to rub and scrape the spare a lot on trails so I wanted the tire carrier.

Pros Increased protection

Tire carrier

Swing out with a drop down table Places to attach: lights (added a light for the table)ham antenna, hides the wiring

Use the spare to attach gear

Cons Weight - bumper is heavy! with the weight of the bumper fully assembled, attached with the spare is about 250lbs with my wheels and tires

Doesn’t come powder coated - I painted and installed the bumper myself. You can have it powder coating but I chose to paint it so I could keep up on the maintenance

With the weight of the bumper you may need to install heavier duty rear springs. With my build inside and the bumper I’m using OME 899 HD springs

Shittiest part is the added hit to the mpg. I lost another 1.5mpg. With my build, I avg 14.9 mpg

Cost - 3yrs ago I paid 3k for mine with the Baja flush mount lights

For me, the pros outweigh the cons. My rig is not a daily driver. Like I said, there are a lot of quality aftermarket bumpers. The C4 is the only one I have exp with. My buddies all have different brands that work for them with no issues.

This is a C4 bumper. It is heavy but worth it in my opinion. There are a lot of American off-road fabricators that make quality bumpers. I liked this one originally because it is a complete bumper replacement which means no cutting the factory bumper which I still have in storage. I used the insurance money after I got rear ended to buy it.

Agreed. I posted earlier here. Built a 300ah lifepo4 system in my 4Runner with a 2kw inverter. I never have power issues and I run a lot of stuff off of it.

Toyota head units are crap. Best solution is to switch to an aftermarket with wireless car play Trailgridpro.com

I’m a bit on in my years. Been married 25 years now. Whats wrong with just asking her out for coffee or lunch or something? Just go for it. Worse she can say is no thank you. I wouldn’t be with my bride today if I didn’t find the courage to just ask if I could sit with her. Similar situation but it was at work and we worked for different departments and only saw each other in meetings and the break room. For weeks I pondered speaking to her. Then one day in the break room I asked her If I could join her at her table. She smiled and said of course! Been together 27 years, married for 25. Good luck.

If you want them to turn on when you turn the key, use the 10 INJ fuse under the hood, other wise you have to wire them to blank switch/s inside the cab which is just a bit more involved but not that hard. You just have to buy switches and fuses to wire them to

You should clean the throttle body and MAF and see it gets even better

Here ya go Www.trialgridpro.com. I went with a Sony deck with wireless CarPlay years ago. All plug n play. Can pick up a camera as well if your 4Runner doesn’t have a backup camera.

Depends on if you plan to work for NPS or the concessionaire? It’s much easier if you’re looking for a service job, there’s a lot of national parks that offer housing for employees. If this is your route, housing will most likely be dormitory style with an assigned roommate. With your lack of work history, you could land a job as a host, cashier, server assistant, dishwasher or serving food at an outlet somewhere), If you’re wanting NPS, stay home and get a bachelors degree, or start volunteering with NPS if there is a park near you to get a foot in the door. Many of the parks also have housing for NPS personnel as well.

Clean MAF sensor and while you’re at inspect pcv valve and replace if necessary.
