    Some upgrades over the last few days

    [​IMG]
    New Rear bumper! Nguyenworks dual swing with high lift jack and dual jerry can holder and 1 table.

    Not pictured but since the rear bumper was coming off, Fourcam cabin vent filters replacing the OEM ones. https://fourcam.com/products/5th-gen-4runner-vent-solutions

    With that new tire carrier, can no longer see out the rear so I added a URVOLAX rear mirror camera (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09C1QVYHM) and mounted it up on high on my victory rack to clear the tire on the carrier. I still have my rear camera to view anything lower. Thanks @SnakeDoc for the recommendation!

    I spent about $425 on the following for my 110k maintenance. Bought the car at 57k.

    ---Pennzoil and Federated house-brand 0w20, Ecotec oil filter (every 7k)
    ---Dayco accessory belt (never been done)
    ---NLDI #2 Valvoline red tacky grease for the driveshaft Zerks (did at 85k)
    ---NGK Iridium spark plugs (never been done)
    ---CRC Mass Air Flow cleaner (never been done)
    ---Federated house-brand engine air filter and cabin air filter (every 30k approximately)
    ---Peak Asian pink antifreeze (Done at 58k)
    ---Valvoline Synthetic 75w-90 gear oil for the front and rear diffs (Done at 58k)
    ---Ravenol 75w for the transfer case oil (Done at 58k)
    ---Toyota WS ATF for a drain and fill (Pan drop/filter/fluid done at 58k, drain and fill done at 85k)
    ---Drain and fill gaskets for all holes

    What it REALLY needs is a full detail, inside and out. Mechanically I know I'm going overboard.

    Today we took a little drive to check out some cabins in Northern Pennsylvania. It downpoured the entire drive. Honestly I love my 4runner. 85mph straight down the highway and absolute blast on the forest roads. Did over 300 miles and averaged 19.5 mpg. Only issue is my back is sore from sitting all day.

    Threw together a leveling platform for the rear today for a camping trip next weekend, complete with quilt my grandmother gave me when I was a boy. She passed a few years back but now she gets to come camping in spirit with me and the great grandkids instead of being folded up in a closet.

    Put on a set of Michelin LTX A/T 2. Got 47k out of the original Nitto Terra Grapplers but they were done. So far, lots quieter and I’m sure when it rains I’ll notice a difference as well.

    Which console safe did you choose? Happy with it? Going through the decision making process between that or something that goes under a seat or some other spot.

    New to me, 2011 Limited. Changed the transfer case, rear diff and engine oil and filter. Ran out of gear oil for front diff, that's next week along with trans fluid drain and fill. Also replaced license plate bulb that was out.

    Great job on the platform! Also, a great tribute to wonderful family and the importance thereof. I need to make one for our 4R as well. Looked into goosegear and others but their costs are insane.

    Very cool! How did you mount the front legs? Do you have a write up somewhere? Thanks!

    Thank you! Was really easy and didn't take long at all. If you need to buy everything you'd be out of pocket about $90. I had to buy screws/stapler/wood... if it wasn't for the screws/stapler I'd have been out around 50-60. Not too bad and it's easy to put in and out and I have a small amount of storage space under it too.
