excuse me kind sir.. but how did you install that front runner table to your shrockworks rear bumper?

I've been looking for a way to install a table to the shrockworks rear bumper and i'm super stumped.

thanks

D d d damn!!!

I found a picture that may help explain. I basically used a bracket behind the table to reinforce it since its quite flimsy. From there I mounted it using the existing holes in the shrockworks bumper and some oversized washers/plates to keep it in place. They don't make it easy to mount tables and have been changing it every so often.

dood thanks for the pic man...yeah..the only negative for shrockworks is the inability to easily install a table.... otherwise love the bumper.

FYI, awesome build btw...

Thank you! Hopefully that pic helped haha it was just a DIY sort of thing. Personally not a fan of the shrockworks bumper, but maybe they have been improved since I got mine back in 2018. I feel like there are better options out now a days.

Took the rig out for a quick run with the new suspension, and may have overdone it a bit. Ended up with my eccentric cam bolt loosening up and backing itself out. Managed to get it tightened back up, but immediately ordered some cam tab gussets from Total Chaos and have those scheduled for install in a few weeks.


Once the suspension settled, the front was a bit too low for me and was causing quite a bit of rubbing up front. Headed back later that week to get the front raised up a bit. During the adjustment we noticed one of my upper control arm uniballs was on it's way out. Ended up picking up a set of beefy UCA's from Freedom Offroad later that day and throwing those in.



After the height adjustment..



A few more parts on the way, I swear it never ends haha

Started the weekend off with some of the smaller projects..

First off, replaced the old magnetic phone mount with one able to withstand some offroading. Ram X grip!


Picked up some yellow film tint and started with the roof bar, and then the lower bumper bar. Getting some gnarly glare on the white hood with the roof bar, was hoping this would reduce some of that. Not sure how much I like the visual look of it, but if it works that's all that matters.




Got my Timbren bumpstops and it was time to switch out this old Lexus bumpstops. Excuse the dust, need to wash. Got them on without having the remove the wheels which was nice.




From there, I moved onto the rear lights. The old cubes never sat right with me and were starting to become an eye sore. Opted for some slimmer and brighter replacements. This also gave me a chance to clean up some of the wiring from 3 years ago, which was much needed.

We back! Spent the last week away on a camping trip with the guys. Have hardly had a chance to edit any of the photos, but here are a few I managed to edit so far!

Awesome build. Really good photos as well

Your photos are amazing! How do you like the fox dsc? I’m thinking to go with these over the kings because of the option for high and low speed adjustments.

Finally got to get through some more shots! Here are a few of my favorites..

Time has flown by! Anyways, not much has changed on the rig, but some more parts are on the way as we speak!



Went out for Memorial weekend for a quick 2 night trip. Winds were absolutely brutal with gusts up to 40mph. Definitely was not the most relaxing weekend, but much needed.


Propane fire pit still one of my favorite purchases.




A few days ago we received this new beast of a fridge from Setpower! 80qt's means there's no shortage of space considering we used to bring two fridges on longer trips, and now we only need this single one!


One of the incoming parts is a new awning/room setup. Our ARB combo is on it's last life and not quite what we were looking for. While we are still waiting for the awning, we did get our new awning room. Hoping to get the new awning put on soon and comparing them!


Just because the car adventures have been slow doesn't mean I haven't been staying home! Spent nearly every weekend this month on the water. Headed back out this weekend can't wait.

Just arrived! Had some time this afternoon and decided to go ahead and throw it on the rig!

I am already liking the longer length and will enjoy the extra shade. I was worried it would extend pretty far past the front of my rack but it is not as bad as I thought! I backed it all the way towards the rear, yet allowing enough space to fully open the hatch. I was worried about not being able to open my front door once the awning room was on seeing out it lines up right with the middle of my drivers door, so we decided we might as well try it out now. That was one issue we had with the shorter ARB awning, it made it hard to have access to both doors.

The LED light strip on the tracks was another feature our ARB was lacking so that was a nice addition. Easy plug and play, and comes with a dimmer switch!

Another angle, only attached one velcro strap on either side. Our old ARB awning velcro was completely messed up and would not hold and was tearing out at some parts. Everything just feels so much more solid.

Here's the room! No floor and not staked obviously. The extra space inside will come in handy for sure. The removable floor will make cleaning a piece of cake. Inside we were able to access both doors.

One of the selling points that we didn't get around to was using the outer room wall as an awning with the extra poles we picked up. Now we can have both the awning and room whereas before we could only have one or the other!

Another day another small project. Heard a lot about these seat jackers, and have always felt like something was off about the seats on the 4runner. Picked up a pair for the front on my driver's side just to try them out and see if they make a difference! Will have to post an update down the road after I get some time behind the wheel.

Ignore the mess, haven't had time to vacuum in a while. Install is as easy as it gets. Just a 14/15mm socket needed and some loctite. Take off the front two bolts and loosen the rear bolts, slip them in, and tighten back up!

Not much to update as of now, finally got to link up with my buddy to get some new tint. Went with 18% all around, and 60% on the windshield. Super happy with how it came out!
