    Do you have a 3rd row? Building a platform or just sleeping on the foam?

    I built a platform, carpeted it and made Reflectx window coverings for my previous Rav4. Fist time my wife slept back there she was shocked at how 'nice' it was for sleeping in a car. What made the difference was all windows being covered-privacy and flat sleeping surface.

    Nice setup. When you have the mattress on, are you able to sit up in inside the 4runner?

    Thanks!

    I am 6'-3" 225lbs and I can sit up inside the 4Runner. Lessons learned though, remove rear seat bottoms for an extra 4-6" and buy the 4" foam mattress (the 2" wasn't plush enough to support even my wife let alone me)

    Maybe my last load of block for the patio wall. 4Runner towed it nicely at 60-65. Had some help too.

    I ordered this one on Amazon (2") but I will order the 4". I liked the price and I could cut it really easily to fit the back.

    #1 Go to the dealership for your touchup paint (Yes, I got lucky once purchasing on Amazon)
    #2 Shake the container well
    #3 Mine had a little rubber nub on the end of the container, I think that was for cleaning out the scratch or smoothing any rough paint edges (Old School we didn't have that)
    #4 Don't drink too much the night before
    #5 Use your free hand to lay flat below the area to touch up and steady your brush hand on top of the free hand. I sat in a folding chair.
    #6 Load your brush sparingly, don't glob on the paint. Use an even steady stroke if it's a long scratch. If it's more of a paint "pit" you can dab in the paint.
    (The paint will self level as it dries)
    #7 Don't expect to complete the touch up job in one shot. It make take a second try or even a 3rd for a good job.
    #8 Don't ask your wife what she thinks.
    #9 Maybe practice on a spot that's not easily seen in case you have the shakes.

    Good Luck!

    Added the 6” foam mattress today previously was on two stacked 3” but realized if I’m going to be winter camping I need to be comfortable for the 12 or so hours I’m stuck in here. Cut the left one short so I can keep the seat bottom installed (I remove the right seat bottom)

    We came back through Chattanooga to try our hand at hang gliding. Much to my wife's satisfaction, they weren't open that day.

    Yes. My wife had never done the hang glider thing. I was hoping to take her.
    I have never been to this port before.

    I used to fly hangliders back in the mid 70's. Torrey Pines, Palomar Mountain, Rincon Mountain. Photo is of a friend of mine, Burke Ewing.
    Old Dude still flys! Says he's heading to Switzerland to fly Interlochen I believe he said. Guy used to be a maniac, first flight off of San Jacinto Mtn.
    into Palm Springs. First Balloon drop. There's an old book with photos that you might find interesting, "The Flyingest Flying" Photos by Steven McCarrolBurke  & Curtis.jpg

    put in the apex chassis tie rods, these things are so much beefier than the stock ones. Also switched out my SPC's for the Dobinson Billet UCA's. I have gone through 3 ball joints and 2 sets of bushings on the SPC's in last 18 months, moving on.

    I feel dirty even typing this, but those UCA's look sexy.
