If this is a 12K winch, I'll be interested to watch it go in. I installed a 12K China winch in mine, and it was *super* tight. Had to do some creative things with the grill to get the winch up and in. It went in, but took some head scratching.

I'm trusting what they say will fit. Per them - they designed their BLITZ bumper to accept the ZEON 12 S.

Fingers crossed because it's money already spent. lol

Looking forward to seeing it!

 

Sparing no expense...I like that.

 

I'm old - cut me some slack

There’s no shame in enjoying the fruits of your labor.

You do you, Boo.

 

Can't take with ya, right? I think we are of the same generation. Perhaps we need to start a 70+ thread!

 

Actually I have been impressed by how respectful the younger guys and gals in here are. Rather refreshing when one considers this is the web.

 

2/23/21 The build is AWP(). So, appointments are set(tint & ceramic coat) to have the windshield and two front windows done(all the same tint - more a UV blocker than tint). Window tint cancelled. < now that's a story

Edit: Decided to have the front clip, mirrors, door handle cups & lower back hatch painted surface wrapped in XPEL prior to it being ceramic coated. Trying to keep it clean and looking fresh for as long as possible

Ready for pickup from wrap & ceramic coat - 8am March 19

Window tint to be rescheduled(once a suitable shop is found).

 

Thought it was time to have accurate weights and measurements before we start affixing anymore mods.

Toyota's numbers: Curb weight 4,750 LBS / GVWR 6,300 LBS

Moon Landing numbers: with 1/2 tank fuel, sliders(guesstimated combined weight - 150 ponds), & OEM spare in place. (unoccupied)

Scaled weight.
Front - 2,580
Rear - 2,240
Total - 4,820

Height from axle center to wheel arch.
FRONT - 20 7/8” both sides
REAR - 22 1/2” both sides

On the way to the scale house this morning.

 

You might want to check out this for your Ultra Swing! Think Rago had a sale $$ going on 40% off

don’t own one, but been thinking about purchasing one, so I can use it on other vehicles.

Your T4R is looking nice!

 

Thanks for the heads up. I've just about used up all the realestate on the ultra swing. Once mounted I'd like to attach an ammo box, or similar, to carry the 3 heavy ass winch blocks I'll likely never need. lol

And thank you for your kind comment. She's got a way to go.

 

When you gonna be closer to TAXES? I'd like roll on an adventure with a rig like that

 

With any luck at all........soon. Gotta go visit my Grandparents in Oklahoma too. It's been a while.

 

163 L Alubox('s) - Why?

https://www.4runners.com/threads/roof-racks-and-load-ratings.18403/#post-224885

Some of the thinking behind my decision to go with the AluBox. They can stow just about anything I currently think I may need(whether the trip calls for 1 or both boxes).

 

Love that color ! Beautiful truck ! Congrats to you.

 

Thank you sir.

 

Good stuff, @Moon Landing ! You're going to have a great setup for your adventures.

 

Friday we picked it up after having the XPEL wrap and ceramic coating done(above). That afternoon we installed the RIGd swing out and accessories(above). Also ordered a fifth grappler which was mounted on the new wheel(above) this AM and is now mounted on the swing out.

So the backup camera needs to be relocated and a license plate light needs to be installed.

As to the light - found this handy little guy and am going to use it to light the plate for now.......and, if it works well enough - it may stay? Only time and conditions will tell.

Monday the BLITZ bumper and winch will be installed. It's nice to be making a little progress.

Sounds like it’s coming along nicely, Jer.

Need pictures for our viewing pleasure!

 

Here ya go

Exploring the fuel carrying options that may be available(fabrication required) with the additional bicycle carrying mount RIGd adds to their swing out. Though my first choice is the missing spare tire cavity.


Breakfast - Lunch & dinner will be served from here


Slider shot.

 

Done! Warn ZEON installed without a hitch. The wiring extension harness I was told to get......was not needed(see winch post #3 above).



Winch control access.


Covered.

 

Thanks. The only major thing remaining is setting up the inside. Sleeping/Frig tie-downs/etc. Hope to check that box soon. Still some research to do though.
