What have you done to your rig today?

Facelift. Do I go amber or white? The covers make for easy changes. I like the amber on LongCruiser. I love the old CIBIE Super Oscars (now for sale). The light output difference though....

Amber all day.

I picked it up is what I did. 2003 Sequoia in excellent condition with 264k and a 2UZ that is clean as a whistle. Nice to have some actual power for once lol.

Is there anybody else in the club who actually wheels a 1st gen Sequoia? I don't remember ever seeing one on a run.

I just installed my sliders from Brute Force Fab onto the Sequoia. I would like to thank Axel Fabrication for welding on my brackets, if anyone is looking for a great welder, fabricator Lars is awesome to deal with. I ended up painting these sliders as they are bolt on, I had a few issues with my powder coated sliders on my 100 so trying something different. I cleaned them up with soap and water, rubbing alcohol, 2 coats of Rustoleum automotive primer and then painted them with Rustoleum semi gloss protective enamel.

Hey I found someobdy else in the club who wheels a first gen tree! I just picked mine up today. Those sliders you installed are fascinating. Almost seems like you could swap between sliders and running boards if you wanted and be a little more low-key most of the time with your build. They are also rather reasonably priced. I assume the mounting hardware holds up well to good hits?

@rushthezeppelin been following along with the drama. Really sad to see what happened to the 4Runner but congrats on the Sequoia!

@Jcbmx has one too I think. Or did. Did you sell that for the 200?

It's all for the better honestly, weird as it might sound this is one of the best things that's ever happened to me as far as growing in virtue (at least so far). This happened because I have a problem with impatience. And I got what seems to be an even more solid vehicle out of it to boot. Granted I still need to build it. Really hope someone takes me up on the 4runner though and gets her fixed up. I would be sad if she ends up in a junk yard and would really like her to stay in the club.

Had some fun getting to our backpacking spot in Utah past the Abajos. Snowed for a bit on the way in. We needed to bust out the maxtrax and winch on 4 occasions. Second year we were the first into the area. This year we were able to get to a seldom accessed ruin.

80 punched right up a hill that turned around a 7 vehicle convoy. The Baja Boss MT is just outrageous.

Pretty sure we had to winch through that exact spot in the Abajos last year. How are the higher elevation roads right now? I'm heading up there soon and am trying to decide which route to take.

This was taken on Monday. We had no problems on out way out. This was a turn going out to Sweet Alice Hills. We drove in through canyonlands. Not sure on the elk ridge side but we saw some tracks coming that way. It was a warm week and realy melted out.
