After I installed my new roof rack I turned my attention to a mod for my offroad trailer. The tailgate had an open frame
on the inside that made it a pain to slide cargo in and out. A flat surface would also provide a surface for cooking on a stove.



I hand cut and drilled a sheet of aluminum diamond plate to fit


Finished project!


A few more photos and details are on my blog if you need more info:
Sun To The North: My Expedition Vehicle & Trailer

Now I need to get the trailer back on the 4Runner and onto the high trails!

What do you think of them? I have been looking for something with the 2014+ style to replace my 2011 taillights. These look like they would fit the bill.

Essentially, they're exactly the same as the OEM ones except the chrome part that doesn't light up with the turn signal is blacked out and the quality is ever-so-slightly less than the OEM (edge finishes isn't as smooth - things you wouldn't notice if you aren't the one installing them).

Can't speak on long term quality, of course but they seem to work exactly the same as the OEMs.

If you want an OEM 2014+ tail light, I'd be happy to sell you mine. Perfect condition, boxed up and ready to ship

If you havent already, give Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic Wax a try. Its the easiest to use paint protectant I have ever used and gives excellent gloss and water beading. I apply it on the entire truck(windows included) by washing and rinsing the truck and then pull it in the garage wet. I use a wet(wrung out) microfiber cloth and give a few sprays on the cloth and wipe a panel. Then wipe the panel with a clean dry microfiber towel. The end results are pretty mind blowing. And you will no longer need rain x.

I got my Eibach Pro Truck kit from Toytec today. Had fun installing it. It took a few hours working pretty casually.

Removing the XREAS is pretty straightforward if you have the right tools. I did have to cut the front lines to get them out, but the rest of it was a piece of cake.

Pretty stoked on the results and I'll post more pics tomorrow after I get it aligned.

Pics before, during, and after:

Every once in a while I catch myself wondering if I should have gone with a Limited. It's usually when I'm sweating in my non-ventilated seats. This is also one of those times. Truck looks killer!

Thanks for the info! I have a black 2011 so I think the black out would look decent. I also need the extra wire harness they come with to retro fit to the OG 5th gen, otherwise I would take those off your hands.

Thanks man! I built this truck in my head a dozen times before I bought it. So stoked with how it's coming out.

I had a '15 Trail before this, so I know your pain, lol. The ventilated seats are pretty great.

I love those brackets you made for the lights. Do you do fab work? I'm a machinist so maybe we can collab on something fun for the trucks.

Looks good. How much lift did you get and how is the ride?
Also, what rims are those?
