Ladder time?
Not yet. In the back of my head I am working on a way to mount a Trasharoo and limited rack for a few weather proof iteme that are almost always with me.

Never understood the point of the ladder, always seemed like they were made for midgets with vertigo or rich "overlanders."

That's Mr Asshole to you
This! Being 6'3" reaching stuff is no issue

I might like a ladder...not 6'3".
Note to self: forgot to get an alignment done after the Camburg UCA install. Front tires are hurting from it.
dumbass.

So the CV axle did not fair well from the trip to Bridgeport yesterday. Oreilly's is warranty swapping it so no skin off my back. I do need to rebuild my old OEM axle and put it back in at some point.
So the driver's side CV has been swapped, both inner tie rod ends replaced, and every bolt that has been changed in the last 6 months was torqued again. The test drive was much better except this time around. Hopefully fresh tires and an alignment tomorrow will resolve the last issues.
So two new Hankook DynaPro AT tires on the front today. The initial set was put on Sept 2017 and last 11,700 miles. I dropped it off at a local shop a mile from Discount for alignment and getting the power steering hoses replaced to fix a slow leak I have been ignoring for a while.
Once I get the 4Runner back I will compare tread depth on the new vs old tires to see how well they have worn over the last 12,000 miles.

So after 279,000 miles the LCAs and rack and pinion are done for. They were probably bad 20,000 miles ago I just did not pay attention. When I got home I ordered all OEM parts to replace the LCA, adjustment parts, rack and pinion, and outer tie rods. After these parts are put on the front end will be new OEM or upgrades. I also plan to weld on the spindle guessets this week while I have it down for all this work.
Until then I am driving my Dad's '99 4Runner. It is a clean, bone stock 2wd Limited. I have already noticed it cruises at 70 mph about 200 rpm lower than my rig. There is a noticeable throttle response difference to go with the lack of a supercharger. I am not complaining though; happy to have some wheels this week.

Sounds like a candidate for a SAS and an Atlas. 
Forgot I also have a proper part to weld onto the rear axle to raise the axle side of the panhard bar 2.5" to level it out. This should get rid of the side-to-side sway after the rear axle goes over a bump of uneven area.

In due time. He has commented about maybe selling it and I grinned.

Not this time. Better odds at a solid axle and links.
Since you drive on roads so much the LT setup would be better for you. Plus...you already have a solid axle 4Runner trail rig

If I go that far I would want a front locker. I would feel more comfortable with a locker in a solid axle. I have thought about researching what Low range did to put the 8" IFS axle in a 3rd gen though
Props to Camelback Toyota for getting the parts turned around so quick. FedEx tracking says they should be here tomorrow by noon.
