    * New Rotors, Calipers and Ceramic Pads

    This is a fun build and I enjoy building things that the Big companies want way too much money for!

    I have some property in Northern Michigan and I plan to do some Back Country camping with my 4Runner and my 2019 Yamaha Wolverine SXS. Oh I built a swing out Tire Carrier for that too!

    Welcome to the forum!

    I love 4th gen 4runners! Nice!

    By northern Michigan, do you mean the UP?

    I plan on spending a few days up there this coming year. There are supposed to be some nice 4×4 roads/trails up that way.

    I had a sleeper/drawer set up in my 2010 F150. The 5.4L motor took a shit @ 103K miles. I sold the truck but I saved the sleeper set-up and now I am doing some cutting and mods to it and use it in my 4Runner! I think it will turn out awesome! I will post pics of it when I am finished!

    No it is in West Branch. However, there are ORV trails 1/8 mile from my property that you can go anywhere in Michigan that the trails will take you. (And then some lol)
