I have a Canon Rebel t5i, that's what all of my pictures on here are taken with

I had a friend of mine drive for a minute while I snapped some pictures. I just say they turned out pretty good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've been slacking on posting lately, but I have a lot of pictures for you guys! Looks like I'm at the limit, so I'll continue in another post. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Honestly it may not be related directly to the alarm then, it could just be an electrical issue. I'm pretty sure that little beeping noise is just what it makes if either 1. The door is open and the key is still in, or 2. You don't have your seatbelt in. Since the problem is related to the door locks and security light, it may not be registering that the door is closed because of some sensor not working. Your problem seems really weird.

If you put the key in the door and turn it, it should make the alarm go off. The actuator in my driver door went out awhile ago, so whenever I unlock the driver door the alarm goes off, but I can either turn the alarm off or prevent it from happening if I just unlock one of the other locks first (either the passenger door or the trunk). Have him try the key in all the locks and see if it makes the alarm turn off.

That's not a bad idea. Do you have a quote for how much it would cost? If it's not visible and not affecting anything structurally, it may be something you could save for later.

Yeah, I've seen it done a couple times (both stock and aftermarket toyota wheels). We share the same bolt pattern as 4runners (6x5.5), so their wheels will fit, but I'm not 100% sure about their stock backspacing. I run american racing wheels that came off of a friend's 4runner and they are amazing, and I tested some fj cruiser wheels as well, which had too much backspacing to work well without spacers, but they had bigger tires on, so this may have been part of the issue. I've seen factory wheels from an older 4runner used, and they actually look pretty nice. Much better than our stock wheels in my opinion.

Make sure to link the video on here!

It makes me happy to see that it looks as if you'll be coming out on top of this one. A very similar thing happened to me on my first day of college last year. I slowed down for traffic and a bmw (funny it's always a bmw) flew past me and sideswiped me as I was changing lanes. Since I was young and the driver of the bmw was older than me the cop never gave me a chance to tell my side of the story, or even get out of my car to take photos or look at the damage to my vehicle, and the incident report came out that we were moving the same speed and I turned right into the side of his car, which was not the case. ): After many hours and many phone calls with both insurance companies, they ended up sticking with the police report despite my efforts, and I was help responsible for $6300 worth of damage to the guys fancy bimmer.

If you have no lift it honestly barely makes a difference on the road. I've had mine off for a long time now and my rig (which is lifted) handles just fine on road as my daily driver and flexes way better off road

I got here last Thursday. Registration was so easy, and I didn't even need an inspection. I just brought in my title and money and they handed me the plates and everything. A permanent sticker here is only $40 more than a year in California!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm actually in Dillon! County 18 (first section of the license plate) is Beaverhead County. I can't remember what number Bozeman is off the top of my head. I'll be going there a lot though since I have family there. Thanks for all the suggestions! I'll definitely have to check some of them out, I want to do a lot of exploring. There's not a whole lot in my immediate area. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So far I've found once cool trail in Montana. There's a guy here who is also from California that has a sweet fj who's been my wheeling buddy here so far. Besides school I've been doing a lot of biking and a lot of dealing with awful parkers. Now to the good part! Registration and everything is SO much simpler here than in California. It took about 15 minutes and boom they handed me my new plates and registration. Another awesome thing is that the plates happened to have the year of the car on them, which I thought was pretty neat. Let me know if you guys have any suggestions of what to do or and requests of things I can take pictures of! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I love them! They do 100000x better in mud and even somehow seem to have more grip on the road than my last tires. All of the wobbling that was happening stopped, and I've gotten a lot of compliments on them. However, being a little bigger and with the absence of a sway bar I flexed so hard that I ripped off my fender flare and bent my fender. I took everything apart and banged the fender back into place and bought new pins and got everything back on. They seem to be wearing out faster than I'd like in the front though, but I don't have enough money for an alignment haha

LMAO

I found a factory spare tire holder on an r50 two days ago in Fremont. It looked in pretty perfect condition besides faded paint if you want one really bad and don't mind driving

Here's something I've had for awhile but for some reason never shared with you guys. It had always been a dream of mine to have the front end of a car to use for actual lights in my room or garage or something, so one day I decided to hit up my local pick n pull and Home Depot to make it happen. I had made the lamps put of tail lights awhile before I did it with the headlights, which were pretty easy just by putting a few little LEDs in each hole in the back. The headlights were harder because I wanted to actually use lights bright enough to light up the whole room. I got two big LED light bulbs from Home Depot and all the wiring and sockets I needed and got everything together, which was way harder than the tail lights because of all the different pieces and wires. Anyway here's how everything looks. Like I said I've had these for a really long time now I just never shared them. Let me know what you think!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you!! If you see someone in the driver seat, it's me. I trusted my camera to a friend who is also a good photographer in a couple instances to get some shots of the Pathy in action. Any pic that I'm not in the driver seat was taken by me (: The BMW wasn't happy to say the least. Even on the straight dirt road parts where I could just fly through he had to crawl along and avoid and move little rocks periodically. On the trail where you see me hanging out the window going over the big hill/bump thing he tried to take the bypass and scratched his bumper and got his rocker panel about an inch away from a pretty big rock which scared him enough to turn around and head back to the river to wait for us to finish haha I actually have a really funny video of him trying to take the go-around that I have no way of putting up here.

Thank you!! I try hard haha

My friend even tried a little off road venturing in his BMW. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's been a busy couple of weeks! Went on a camping trip with my friends and then the day after flew to Iowa for a family get together. There were a TON of trails around the Lake Almanor/Chester area. Unfortunately my camera died and none of my backup batteries had charge, so I didn't get as many pics as I would have liked. There are still a lot though, so I'm sure I'll have to split it up into multiple posts. I also ran into another forum member in Chester, which was cool. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lots of pictures coming soon! Stay posted Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
