I've heard of this happening to several people. Did they just back out and fall off the bolts?

Yea, I spent a month on the road (or off the road) running Moab, Colorado back country, and Idaho back country. I think the constant vibrations just backed them out.

I'm in the habit of checking to see if I locked my vehicle, but maybe I forgot to do it last night and was the victim of bad luck. Nothing was broken. I just noticed things weren't as I left them yesterday when I sat down in it this morningeat. It wouldn't have bothered me so much if they only stole the money. I get it. Things are hard right now. I've been up to Wall Street and gave a homeless guy on the street a few bucks. I've got a 2020 4Runner in the current day and age, and I'm not over my head financially with it. I'm okay with someone needing the change in my truck more than I need it, but they also took the registration and insurance information, and for what? Just to spite me? They didn't even bother taking anything else.

Ill try not to beat a dead horse, but last item is to get to know your neighbors. They will be able to tell if someone is at your house that doesn’t look right. If they have your number, they can call and check in.

great tip----- I will do that on the way back. I did see a show on that road and it looked beautiful! I was in a rush to get down to FLA, but plan to take my time on the way back. We have the dog so I am going to need to plan a bit to find dog friendly places to stay.

Thanks. I don't have a garage, so there are no worries there. It was just in my driveway.

This problem was even bigger back in the day of portable GPS systems like Garman, TomTom, stuff like that. All they had to do was take the GPS and garage door open, they didn't even need the vehicle.

I never set up a home address in GPS, so I'm good there. Thanks!

Been there done that. I actually called them all after talking to the police to tip them off in case they got hit, too. Thanks!

Yup, its a 30" diode dynamics stage series light bar. I'm really happy with the output and IMO its well worth the money. Here is a video showing oem low beams, ss3 fogs, and my light bar output.

Thanks again!

Took the skid off this weekend for some fixes to the suspension and when I put it back on, i made sure to tuck the plastic under the skid and it fits perfectly and it looks sooo much better now! Looks super clean and like it was meant to be there!

Not who you were replying to but I just installed mine a week or so ago. Honestly... it did not go smoothly. There were no official instructions I could find online. There was a video linked by some dude named Chad... don't listen to him. He had me back off my KDSS pump mounting bolt (which is a MAJOR pain in the ass) but it turns out, that's entirely unnecessary.
It would probably be pretty easy if you don't have KDSS, but for me it was a kind of a pain. Took two afternoons to get it to 95% done, but I couldn't get one or two holes on the driver's side lined up and finally decided just to drive down to Cali Raised and have them take a look at it. They helped out for free which was nice, but yeah I can't say the install was fun.

You mean the black part with the 4runner logo on it? That's the part that got loose?
I've had that annoying sound back there for a few years now after an offroad trip and never dove deep into the hatch to figure it out. I added a 15" sub to try to kill the noise, and it worked!!
But now the sub has vibrated loose several other parts of the car...

My son is a VW tech, and thats his first recommendation to any noise, turn up the radio, second is, you need a new engine!
