I dropped off the grid since the Red Clay Rally because I spent so much time getting prepared for that and left myself with a lot of catching up to do around the house! I pretty much haven’t touched my truck since the Rally with the exception of an oil change, rear brake replacement and […]
I finally got around to installing my Plastics Guy DuroBump rear bump stops from toyotabumpstops.com on my 4th Gen 4Runner. For those following me, you know that I have been driving on the front DuroBumps for a good bit of time now with great success. I absolutely love the way they feel over dips in […]
Hi all — Happy New Year! It’s been a while since I last posted, I know… Between holidays and sick kiddos, I haven’t had too much time to do any extracurricular activities. One thing I did have a chance to do was change the oil in both my 4th Gen 4Runner and my wife’s 5th […]
This project was a fun one, and a little trying at times. I had seen these types of slides online, but if you were to order one pre-made, you’re looking at over $500! Even a standard slide like the ARB Fridge Slide is a pretty penny. All in, I was about $110 (slides, steel & […]
Well, I did it. I finally pulled the trigger on a portable fridge, so I don’t need to haul around my big Yeti 65 and ice. After searching endlessly for something a little more affordable, I came across a 54 Quart Portable Fridge/Freezer from Costway. It has a good capacity and it looks remarkably close […]

Prior to its disappearance, there was a well known bump stop vendor (and forum sponsor) that was essentially placing their product ads via comments within Curtis’s product thread. After that company received some blow […]
As some of you may know, I have been driving with my (@plasticsguy) toyotabumpstops.com front bump stops for a little over a month now (check the install). This particular product is new for the 4th and 5th Gen 4Runners, but Plastics Guy has been making them for other Toyota models for a good bit of […]
Great news! I got the “splotchy” curing issue taken care of (no thanks to Corroseal’s customer service), and it appears that there just wasn’t enough on the surface. With a second coat over the weekend, everything is looking great! Here’s a sneak peek: It was brutally hot and humid this weekend, plus I’m taking my […]
A few days ago, I finally got the shipping notice on my Prinsu Rack for my 4th Gen 4Runner. I was so excited for it to come in so I’d have a good weekend project. I also have a transmission skid from RCI Offroad that would get installed too. Delivery day was here, and I heard a […]
