Today I was able to install some molle panels that I've had my eyes on for a few months now, and they're from Velox Offroad. Total install time was about 20 minutes, and the install was very easy. My only recommendation is picking up some 1/4" stainless washers (4 per side) since these do not come with any, and you really need them to install these correctly.

I have about a 2 inch lift (Eibach) and just replaced my tires Toyo Open Country AT/3s in 285/70-17. When I bought it a few years ago it already had wheel spacers all around and now I'm thinking about removing them. I'm hoping it will get rid of the rub I have in reverse at full lock on the body mount. I do like the look of the slightly wider stance, but yours looks pretty great and I don't see anywhere that you've added spacers. Am I right in that?

Wheel spacers push the edge of the tires out further so are more likely to rub. Removing them should reduce that.

I'm not running wheel spacers.

Even without wheel spacers I still rub in reverse just before full lock. This is very common with this size tire, and I know several people that have or have had this issue before doing a little trimming. The wider stance is only going to worsen the rubbing.

Not that I'm aware of, but that would be cool to see happen.

I've been a little quiet on here lately with the 4runner, and thought I'd give a little update on the upgrades.

I recently ditched the Prinsu roof rack, and upgraded to the Sherpa Crestone rack. IMO, the Sherpa rack is hands down a superior rack, and the install was a breeze too. While I have the CVT awning removed for the rack install I went ahead and installed the Overland Pros Wraptor 3K 180 awning. For the money, this is a great awning with a very easy setup.

This was my first year attending Overland Expo as a vendor, and the PNW event was a blast. Of course this meant that I had to come up with a new drawer unit for the 4runner to have on display, and this is the final version. Any 4runner unit sold moving forward will have this same look, but yet still customizable within reason. The drawer faces were upgrade a couple of weeks ago, and the lock opening is finally dialed in.

Here are some pictures of a custom unit that I built at the beginning of summer. I'm working on a compact version of this that'll fit with the rear seats still installed. My goal is to have that complete and on display at Expo PNW in 2024.
