I have no problem with it if it was done to get you home and not being stranded.

But if you did it just to do it to be different. Then Boo! But from the look of the frame I think its the 2nd of them.

I attended the Island Cup 2016 today, one of Canada's premier 1:1 rock crawling event. This 4Runner was the only fully leaf sprung truck (all 4 corners) at the event and it absolutely killed it!

I get to make a few of these parts. Not looking forward to the yellow one. 16.4" at the largest od of the yellow flange, for reference.

It's called a "rig lock." I really don't know what it does, to be honest.

What's the point of the flip open roof? Did he put good axles under it, too?

bulletproof plate but for why i dont know. doesnt seem like it would be very effective (especially from the sides) but maybe the glass and doors are also reworked to stop bullets.

Just seems strange and pretty pointless. That XJ definitely doesn't look like it's built to invade a country, but I guess that's the look he's after....for some reason?
