Installed the Raingler Net and love it!

Still need to make some adjustments to it but much better than the Weathertech Pet Barrier

Took about 3 hours to complete (including creating a little pully system to pull the rack up and back the rig under it) but absolutely love it! Still deciding if I am going to keep the ladder or not.

Just saw the first image of the Baja rack ladder...just saying you might want to take a looksie.

Awesome upgrades sir, but she is starting to look a little TOO clean!

Thanks man!

I did see the Baja Rack and still can't even decide if I like it either. My OCD almost wants to straighten it out, I need to see some more pictures of it

We've taken it out recently but it was in the snow so it didn't get dirty!

Here is a shot from that trip just for proof :lmao:

I have two labs that love to go on camping adventures with us and they hang out in the back.

It would get hot back there from the sun coming through the windows and I'm very conscious about keeping my guys comfortable and safe.

So I made some cheap sun shades for the rear windows.

I bought two Dollar Tree sun shades. However you can do both rear windows with one window shade so I might try to do my rear passenger windows too.

The sun shades are extremely flimsy and dont have any structure whatsoever. So I made some templates and cut them out of cardboard (ironically from our recent Chewy.com purchase). Glued the sun shades (cut to fit) down and used some gorilla tape to hold down some zip tie pulls to pull them out when not in use.

Work great and should help out!

Enjoy!

Nice build! I didn’t think you could run 285’s without a lift. How does it feel on city streets with the larger tires ?

Not bad at all. Little more rough but overall I'm happy. If I went with a lower load rating tire it wouldn't be as rough but the benefits I see off road are greater.

Nicely done!

I installed the [MENTION=12905]XenonDepot[/MENTION] DRL Driver last week and I love it. This allows for full functionality of DRLs and High Beams.

The look is incredible and I have already received multiple inquiries about it on the road from other 4Runner owners.

This is a must do mod :rockon:

Thanks for the feedback and photo on the DRL LED Driver for the Xtreme LED Pro kits!

After my woes in my 4th gen when mine when out I did the secondary air pump mod. 5 minutes and looks good for a cheap peace of mind.

Dual Battery Setup

I finally did my Dual Battery setup after a long time of putting it off. I did a very simple setup based off of @evldave on expeditionportal.com. I followed the following diagram:

I used an Optima D35 battery for the Auxiliary battery.

However, instead of just a regular isolator I opted for a Blue Sea 7610 that way there aren't any idiot switches being used that could be left on. This way it will simply charge and then if anything should happen it will cut off, leaving the main battery able to start.

So here are the items I used/purchased:

Off Grid 4x4 Battery Tray
Blue Sea 7610
Blue Sea ANL Fuse Block #5006
ANL 150 Amp Fuses
~10' of Red and Black 4AWG Wire
Connectors

I ended up returning the precut wire pictured. It was simple to just make my own small sections which I was originally worried about.

To connect the lugs to the ends of cut wire simply grab a dull chisel (or like thereof) and hammer the ends to crimp, the connection is fine.

While other write ups said it isn't necessary to use two fuses, I did to be on the safe side.

I also ran my Isolator into the dash so it starts up with ignition and grounded to where the main battery is grounded.

Here is my final setup

Finished in about 2.5 hours and right when the rain started.

Overall I'm happy with the outcome, glad it worked out and dont think I'm going to change anything major with this setup.

Installed my King 2.5 Coilovers with Adjusters. Install was straight forward and actually easy. It added the perfect amount of lift to get it nice and level. Very happy with the turnout.

2nd Chance · Dec 10, 2018

Well this looks awesome and know I want to add a little more lift to mine after seeing this picture.

A10MileHusker · Dec 13, 2018

Installed my Hidden Winch Mount finally.

The Mount is made by Pelfreybilt. I purchased this months and months ago before anything had happened to the company.

For the Winch I went with a Smittybilt X20 10k lb Wireless Winch. It isn't a warn but I ran Smittybilt on my 05 with no issues at all. Great winch for a fraction of the price.

Both fairlead and hook are Factor 55.

Overall I love it! Great winch and will be a nice ease to my mind when we are out in the snow.
