Welcome to my build thread. I have a few photos of my 2007 4Runner Sport Edition. I just acquired this truck last week... 10-18-16. My plan is to create a nice durable and capable overland expedition rig.
This is how she looks today

I will be building a nice low roof rack to carry a roof top tent and awning
12v Fridge, camp stove, slide out drawers, first aid kits, etc.
