Eventually... A bit of modding and I should be ready to go out next summer. It's rare to find people into here where I am, everyone just wants to go muddin'.

why pal

It's not terribly common to find a ton of people into it in any one spot. It's a relatively rare hobby and it often keeps participants moving.

At least you started with a good platform. I'd think about replacing that stock front bumper with a winch bumper though. Those front bumpers are designed to absorb impact, not hold their form. They often fold the frame horns when they go.

Yes, that is how crumple zones work.

>>15549028
It's not a crumple zone, just a lot of leverage.

Just bought a 2004 4runner. Limited with v8/air suspension.

Going to keep her as stock possible. Roof top tent and a fridge maybe. I just want to do mods that can be transfered to a new vehicle when it comes time to sell.

I want to go all out with stage 7 icon suspension and lol arb shit but fuck this shit gets expensive.

Want more money for gas.

>stage 7 icon suspension and lol arb shit
It's expensive because you're looking at mods and then looking at the most expensive route you could possibly go with that mod.

Get an ARB bumper, throw a cheap HF winch on it, and get some cheap lockers, a cheap lift, and some decent tires. No need to spend $50k in mods for a decent rig.

Don't be afraid to hit up CL. Stuff like lights can often be found lightly used for a fraction of original retail. I picked up two Hella 4000s for $35.

c-can i join g-guys?

>>15549165
Is a winch more important than a locker? I can do a fjc swap but overlanding =/ mudding rock crawling in my eyes.

I just hope i didnt fuck up by getting the air suspension limited 4runner.

>>15549089
It is indeed a crumple zone.

>>15549133
>air suspension.
It's hydraulic.

>>15549366
It has kdss and air bags in the back.

>>15549357
It doesn't crumple in a direct impact. It folds to the side when you smack something with one side of the bumper pushing that side in, or if you catch something with the bottom of the bumper and roll the bumper under the front of the truck.

Agreed! Within the next 5 years the plan is to drive the Pan-American highway.

New beefier winch bumper is in the works, but for now I'm working to improve the motor's reliability. There's a lot of electronic diesel control components that go bad, so I'm in the process of removing them at this point.

My V10 1500 would make a bitchin overlander

>>15549522
6.5l detroit diesel?

If so

>muh nigga

>>15550152
Isnt that v10 a thirsty bitch? Range is important when overlanding. Although, if you can squeeze out 10-13 mpg with expedition weight on a gasser, you are doing well.

One day soon, I hope. Need to get my daily paid off and then I can focus on building my rig. Got a 1990 Ramcharger I plan on 12v swapping. I've been eyeing donors for a while and I think I'm going to tear a 250 apart and slap the front 60 and rear 70 on for good measure. Once that's done, all I'll need is better brakes and beefier leaves for the suspension.

It's a sign from the expo gods. Ramcharger is the ultimate offloading machine.
