Why was travis pulling a trailer?? Does his wife really need to bring her whole wardrobe??

He didnt want to stack stuff on the top and he brought his wife and a friend of his and they stayed for 5 days so they had a lot of stuff

Me neither. He did pretty good with it though. That 4 runner weighs 10 tons and he was still able to pull that trailer through spots. IT was cool to watch. He scared me on the slabs though cause he pinned it and got sideways and i thought it was goign to be all bad

Oh excuse me... i forgot

ya where did you bend urs? the rite side that loops around bent up and actually smashed into my body. i had to heat it up with a torch and bend it down couse i couldn't even open my tailgate. i come down on it hard sometimes but its pretty new and i try my best to ease off the drops and rocks. and the middle of the bumper between the 2 D rind holes is also bent up pretty decent.

word. come over and get scotts rear end. we have the cherry picker here now so it will make things go a lot easier.

I really dont want to get under that truck again. Im so over it already. No air tools sucks

Yeah man, same story.  Both sides bent up into the body on mine, and the right side is tweaked over to where I couldn't open my tailgate.  My tailgate got jacked anyway so I just have to rip it open and it hella hits the bumper every time now.  And the middle under the receiver is bent up so I can't lower the tailgate all the way without hitting the bumper like 5 inches before it lays flat.

WOw ya thats bad mine hasn't got to that point yet. and hopefully it doesn't soon couse that would piss me off. sounds like its time for marlin to beef up the tubing.

[46&2]

Damn how hard are you guys hitting these bumpers? I have bashed mine off of all kinds of stuff and its held up really good

[slabcs]

Your DGAF-o-meter must be broken man.

Tweakage.


As far as the tailgate goes, after you tug it past the side things that it hits.  You can see where it hits the quarter panel too.

wow thats EXActly what happened to mine and it bent right at the same spot at the beginning of the rap around bar. just heat it with a torch and bend it back down. im gonna try and figure out a way to reinforce it. where did this happen to yours? o and by the way i love the color of ur runner iv been wanting to paint mine sea green, which i think would be close to that color.

hmm. has yours been on some decent trails yet? honestly i dont wheel like a jack ass at all which surprised me why mine bent. when i know im comming down on it im always easy sometimes i dont know and it hits pretty hard but i actually care about body damage and bending stuff so i try not to put it through hell.

[kiyul4130]

your going to have to. its easy!! grab a cut off wheel and cut the u bolts. you dont need them anyways. i did it to the 14b yesterday in under 5min and i was done. loosen the brake lines and it will roll out. 15min tops and your done. scotts back is blown out so its not coming out of there any time soon from him. that or give me $15 and ill pull it for you and it will be ready to go.
