Oh hot dang! Thank you - turns out I was being silly and didnt turn the thumb screw enough

YT-1300 and tylertenny DosYotas, I installed the LFD cross beams today to work with my Yakima skybox... I got all the way finished and then also ran into the issue where I can't seem to get the feet adjusters big enough to fit around the cross beams - the yakima feet latch wont let me push it...

Good to know, maybe Ill do that in the future. Although this is dadmobile so I'm all about super fast mods! Putting on the overlays took a few minutes.

New mod: Chrome delete on front emblem I ordered this emblem: Amazon.com and replaced the front chrome yota badge with the black overlay. I LOVE it and think it looks like 100x better. I do want to chrome delete the rest of the grille but those parts a bit more expensive and I need to do...

New mod: Chrome delete on the door handles and side emblems So I bought these from amazon and installed them the other day. Bye bye chrome on the door handles and side emblems! Emblem link: Amazon.com Door handles link: Amazon.com Overall I do love it! Although I kinda wish the handle...

Good to know. Thanks! Will do

Those sound like great changes, I like it.

Yeah totally! The full time 4WD actually attracted me as well because I think it should do better in the rain (and because I'm in the PNW it only rains about 9-11 months of the year). I like what you've done! Very similar to my goals

First "mod" - all weather floor mats (OEM!) to try and keep the kiddos from completely destroying the floors.

Howdy folks! I just joined 4runner nation recently (replaced my FJ, which I loved) and love it already. I hemmed and hawed over which model/trim to buy - I love the look of the TRDs but eventually decided on the family cruiser trim, aka limited. (Because this vehicle will be for mostly family...

Thanks for sharing! I love how much better it looks

Okay! I was thinking that would be the safer route. But after pricing 3 of the stainless beams and adding a fairing, it's getting into the realm of cost where id consider a full roof rack ($550 vs like $1000 for a Sherpa crestone sport) which is a lot more capable.

What's the best way to black out the limited's rear tailgate garnish? Is there a OEM black garnish and does it work with the limited? I couldn't find one online. Also how easy is it to swap the garnish out? Or do most people just plasti-dip it? Im on a mission to de-chrome my limited that I...

Has anyone had issues with rust? I live in the (rainy) Pacific Northwest and don't park my 4runner in the garage. Trying to decide if I should go with the steel or stainless cross beams.

I just bought these OEM ones off amazon (hoping they are indeed OEM). When they arrive, I'll post some pics post install: Amazon.com
