What have you done to your 5th Gen 4Runner today?

This weekend my dear wife cleaned the interior and just barely saved herself from receiving an overdue spartan kick!

this level of cleanliness is very satisfactory for this truck for me

 

How long does it take to set up your ramps?

 

I have left the bricks permanently on my driveway for sometime to take care of random maintenance jobs on the car.
I do need to buy those plastic ramps.

 

I made some low profile ramps from 2x10's for a mustang, years ago. Still use them for the yaris.

 

I want to make them. I have heard great things about them. But my carpentry skills are rudimentary at best. Any idea what size screws I need? I will give it a go.
I asked a carpenter to make them and he got scared that in case it cracked or broke it would be a liability issue.

 

Look at YouTube for videos. There are a number of them out there and then you can choose the one that you feel you can make (or take the best of several and make a kick-ass personal set of ramps).

 

I can take pics later, but i believe it was 1- 2x10x10' per side. Cut on a 45 deg at 4', 3', 2' and stacked. They only raise 4.5", but that's all i needed.

 

you shouldnt need ramps to drop the skid plate even the factoey one.

 

if I need to work there comfortably, I need ramps. I might be able to drop the factory skids without raising it but I cannot slide underneath and have space to do any work.

 

got it! Pretty creative for sure!!

 

Very cool! My wife and I met Captain Tony while on our honeymoon in Key West in 1997. He spent some time chatting with us and even said a blessing for our marriage, which I guess it worked because we are still married all these years later.

 

Exercised 4x4 Hi a little bit in the down pour coming home from getting hair cut.

 

Got my kings installed this weekend, still need to install the elevate suspension billet uppers

 

Congrats. They are great ride.

 

How is the ride when not towing? What is the dry weight of your trailer?
