It has been a bit, but I did have a chance to work on the 4Runner this past week. I was able to build some additional belly pan/skid plates for the underside of the 4Runner out of 1/4" aluminum. I also built some "rock slider" steps out of steel 2" tube steel welded to the frame. The plan for these is to cover them top and bottom for a smooth surface, and then to mount my fore/aft wheel spats on the bottoms of them near the tires.
I also got a chance to use the 4Runner offroad this past weekend, swapping over to the 255/85R16 tires mounted on extra wheels. The trip went well, and I will swap back over to the street wheels and tires shortly but first I will put a weeks worth of driving on these offroad tires so that when I swap back I can compare the MPG between the two tire sets.
Anyway some pictures.
