Memphis, TN 4Runners

What time would be best for you? Trying to figure out at a time at this point. Was originally thinking around noon, but a little earlier is ok with me.

 

Yeah I'm with you, noon or a little earlier works for me as well.

 

You just meeting up to shoot the breeze? If so, I'm likely in.

 

Cool, just checked out Ft. Pillow. Being a Texas transplant, I'm still discovering the area. Looks like a cool campground, we'll make it there soon.

 

Yeah pretty much. Couple guys I havnt hung out with in awhile. And just trying to get more toyota folks in the area together.

Just talking to them earlier, sounds like they were planning to install some UCA's in the am and were going to be free after that... so I'm not sure how early they'll get started saturday but that might put it at noon or later...

Guess well see how it plays out this week.

 

That's a neat area in general to explore but lots of low areas too that are likely affected by high river right now. Hatchie area on south side of Ft Pillow. Saw an absolute monster catfish chase a fishing lure up to bank before flopping in the mud and swimming off without biting on the Hatchie River near there. Also saw a couple monster cotton mouths in Hatchie. Champion lake seems like it might be cool to explore on a kayak but i haven't tried it. Lots of Cypress knees in the water though. Have fished it from shore a few times.

 

So it seems most people won't be free with morning activities untill after noon, looking like a 1 o'clock meet-up time currently.

 

Anyone has a 5th gen passenger side oem headlight assembly and front fender available? Tree bit us on the trail.

 

Dang, I do not man.

You ever get it fixed?

---

In other news, hopefully everyone is safe.

 

Yeah, everybody fine. Low speed.
Got a few parts already now. Going to test fit in near future then all back off again for painting.

 

BTW. Ebay. I got a used good condition (like new) oem headlight assembly <$100 shipped.

Some overpriced less good condition stuff and non-oem to sort through but there were good ones in there.

 

Running board delete + new valence-less front bumper update..

Everybody hangin in there?

 

Looking good. I'm assuming that's near downtown or Mud Island?

 

Thanks! This is near the MS River ramp at Meeman-Shelby Forest.

 

That ramp whole area was a mess left over from high water last time I was out there. Last year maybe.
Ramp area back in good condition now?

 

Haha not really. Lots of flooding on the way out there too.

 

I guess you guys all heard that tomorrow at 6PM we are supposed to shelter in place.

I always jokingly commented that the 4runner would make a good apocalypse vehicle, but really at this point a honda civic would do fine, no one is on the roads.

Being stuck at home for a week or two is gonna cost me a ton on parts. I have so much time to research and buy stuff for the 4Runner. I must be strong..

 

The rules are no different than what I've been doing though. Even though I have an exemption, I've only gone out when needed for food for over a week already.

 

Man, wish I had something to install/do... but then again I'm still working lol. Somehow what I do is still allowed to work, legally... but at least i am working alone, and really dont have to deal directly with people too often. (Landscape industry, more specifically irrigation services)

If it would quit raining I guess I could go all out on a detail of the truck.

 

How are you guys doing in light of the craziness that is happening. If y’all need anything just holler at me.

 

Switching up some things on the 4R and trying to clear up some storage space in garage.

Have some parts I'm not using anymore if someone wants to buy them on the cheap. (when we are eventually allowed to mingle again)

* BajaDesigns foglight adapter. Both the mounting bracket and the wiring adapter that allow you to run Squadrons fully plug-n-play in the OEM fog location.
* Bilstein reservoir clamps for 5160s. The ones that clamp the resi onto the shock body.
* 32" 3 row led light bar. Chinese Amazon thing. Never mounted. Just plugged it in to see how it looked. Decided I want smaller lights.
* pair of 4" 3 row LED pods. Came with the other bar, I never even unwrapped them.

I'll get pics later if anyone interested in any of it.

If any of you also have a 2nd gen Tacoma, I have a set of OEM headlights (2012-15 model) and a few other random parts.

 

What kind of aftermarket UCAs are you guys using with lifts?
Debating buying some in near future.

 

I bought a set of JBA SD high caster for my future lift. It's still brand new, uninstalled sitting on my shelf. I had SPC before that. Friends have run Delta Joint from Icon, and TC uniballs too.

I'd say the SPC and JBA are good buys, Dobinisons if you want a uniball, and TC if you want top of the line (but more maintenance).

My vote: JBA

 

Also, when this all lifts some of my Texas friends are going to go to Windrock. That might be a month or two before restrictions lift, but when we go I'll toss it out to the group and if you feel comfortable going into public let me know. It's mainly camping and some wheeling.

 

Got new shoes on my rig today. Wildpeaks FTW

 

After our conversation the other day I was unsure if you would go Wildpeak. For what it's worth I think you will be fine, and if I say so myself, they look mean

 

They do indeed! And ride great.

 

LOCATED OVER IN GERMANTOWN NEXT TO SADDLE CREEK!

 

Welcome to the thread! What's your poison? Offroading, camping, crawlin ze malls?

I'm probably a little column A, little column B.

 

K&N cold air intake on the way, starting on my cargo sleep platform mod next week, and plasti-dipping my stock wheels to bronze

Welcome! Let's see that rig!
