I just decided to remove the cargo shelf as well as the backseats in my 2005 4Runner, I thought about building something around the cargo shelf but opted to go all-in on this project: The plan is to build a short platform, bed, and cabinets inside the 4Runner's interior, here's where I'm at now:

I've been busy on the 4Runner this week, removing the cargo shelf and backseats then started cutting some lumber for the planned camper conversion:

This week I started on the camper conversion process of the build, removing both the cargo shelf and the backseats: Then I cut a 3/4" sheet of plywood to fit in the back today, it will be secured using the pre-existing bolt holes in the body of the 4Runner.

Hello everyone, I wanted to share a video I made recently for anyone looking to safely remove the plastic covers on their 4Runner factory roof racks, in the video I'm doing this on a 4th Gen 4Runner but it looks like the covers are pretty much the same on the 5th Gen. There's very little...

With warmer spring weather finally here and a break from the non-stop rain we've seen in the southeast this winter, I'm finally able to work on my 4th Gen 4Runner build. I just finished installing a new roof rack and will be doing some more modifications soon enough, so should start posting...

Thank you for posting that, I believe that should be just enough clearance...the bottom clamps on a Yakima Skybox are about an inch thick. I ended up ordering the Sherpa rack since they were on sale, figured worst case scenario I could always sell it if it doesn't have enough clearance for my...

This is an upgrade I'd like to do on my '05 V8 down the road, hopefully there will be another group buy in the future. Plus, I have no idea where I'd go in my area to get them installed correctly at the moment, would have to check around.

I've been shopping roof racks all weekend during the black Friday/cyber Monday sales, I've narrowed my search down to the Sherpa Princeton and the Frontrunner Slimline II. I'm leaning towards the Sherpa Princeton, however I am curious is if there's enough clearance between the roof and the...

I know Rago Fabrication makes them as well, though not sure if they fit the early or late models, however from the looks of the pics on their website the top mounts have two different positions...so maybe they do?! I'm not really upset with Victory 4x4 and I don't mind giving them time to make...

I agree, the panels do look great and I can definitely see their usefulness. I thought about modifying it a bit to work, but unfortunately the top mounting bracket still wouldn't seat properly even if i moved it over without doing some trimming, which I don't want to do at this time if I end up...

This is almost the perfect build to me, will definitely use this as inspiration for the 4th Gen build I'm embarking on. So out of curiosity, did you find the lack of head room with the sleeping platform to be confining? I'm coming over from a conversion I built in a 2nd Gen Honda CR-V and was...

Yeah, after corresponding with the Victory 4x4/JCR Offroad tech support, they weren't aware that there were two different hook placements in the 4th Gen. Apparently 03-05 has different hook placements than the 06-09 models. So I was told once they get an 03-05 in the shop they'll work on making...

Was making my first upgrade/mod to the 4Runner today... I ordered the Victory 4x4 Rear Window MOLLE Panels, they came in last week and finally got around to attempting the install today. I say attempt, because unfortunately the top mounting bracket on the panels don't line up with the...

Hate to post on such an old thread but I have the same problem on an '05 4Runner. I'm new to 4Runners being a first time owner for only a couple of weeks now, the first upgrade I did was swap out the interior lights from stock to LED. When I was changing out one of the map lights, the switch...

I could probably stomach the price of the Gobi more if I didn't have to buy the sunroof insert for another $250 on top of the $1,595...though I've read they periodically run sale promotions that include a free accessory with the purchase of a roof rack, hoping to see that sometime soon. In the...
