    Shrockworks has a relocation kit available that you have to use for their dual battery kit and I think you can purchase it separately. But I feel it only moves it up a few inches. Maybe you can put a snorkel on the pump inlet and remote locate the a filter to a higher location. But I am not sure if the pump is water tight in the first place??? With the stock location of the pump you would have to be in some pretty deep water. I shy away from water myself but I guess sometimes it is unavoidable.

    The pump is right in front of the airbox so it’s on the same level as the air inlet without the snorkel. I’m thinking of pulling the foam element and just plumbing it directly into the airbox so the air it gets comes from the same air as the airbox from the snorkel.

    Thats a good idea except for drilling a hole in your airbox and hoping you can get it completely sealed. But would you put it below the filter or above? The pump blows all the air out of the system when you shut off the truck so I think I would still put a filter on the end of the hose. I pulled my foam element months ago because of fear of it sucking the stock foam element and ruining the pump. Did you do this yet? The pump is much happier after doing this. Sounds like a jet or turbo when you turn off the truck.

    https://trail4runner.com/2018/12/18/4runner-air-pump-mod/

    So just run a hose from the pump to that Uni filter and mount the filter in a higher location. If you get water above the hood inside your engine bay you will have other problems IMO than just this pump

    Intent is to run it before the air filter and into the main body of the air box with the most space. I’m pretty sure I can make something that will seal it up and function.

    I swapped out the stock grill for a full black grill and added a '74 era OEM Land Cruiser emblem and a TRD stripe badge. I have the lower grill insert as well but trying to figure out the best way to install.

    Louisa also tripped her 100k marker.

    It was really easy to spaying it on. I took it off and set up a stand to spray it on. Didn’t want to paint near the runner. Took maybe 2 hours at the most and most of that was drying time.

    Not sure what series you had but this one is the Platinum. The best I can describe it is obnoxiously over powered. That’s why I love it.

    Well Scott,
    You sold me.
    Time to break out the plastidip sprayer & do the front & rear. I love the silver of the "off road" too much to dip it...
    Looks great!
    Plus, if you are unhappy, just peel & repeat. It is already cleaned!

    That is horrible.
    Don't turn it on!
    Just let it dry in the sun with fans (for a day if possible).
    I used to do water damage.
    Was there standing water inside the floorboards?

    Loaded up the Runner with my tools, recovery stuff and a little fishing gear then drove down the shore Saturday AM. Got my beach buggy permit for the portion of the NJ shore that I go to! Been wanting to do this since I got it last year, but now I will be all set for the spring and fall striper and blues fishing run.

    Worked on my boat and trailer for a couple hours then went to hit the beach. I honestly had some trouble with my ARB EZ Deflator. I bought it used and it looked in perfect condition, but maybe its broken. anyhow, deflated tires the old school way.

    I also got myself stuck and unstuck in a matter of ten minutes. I shoveled a bit/switched to 4LO, etc...and was making little progress until...I'm sure everyone is aware, but if not, let me tell you that ATRAC is some wizard shit. I barely touched the gas after engaging it and I was out in seconds. Incredible. Not that I needed any more reassurance about the 4Runner, but that was really some delicious sand covered icing on the cake haha.

    anyhow, heres a photo I took!
