Has anyone mounted an ARB awning to the stock roof crossbars? How'd you do it? I was going to use the ARB awning adaptors but their L-shape doesn't work with the OEM stock bars.

When you expand your search, I'd make sure to expand it towards Eastern WA. I finally found mine there. David

I'm not an expert, but I was in a similar situation with a ~3 in lift (ss 1.2) and no body lift, though I had stock bumpers. From what I remember, your options are 285/75 (~33in x ~12.5) with spacers or 255/85 (~33in but more narrow) without spacers assuming you don't want rubbing. With...

I've done the caliper upgrade and know that the spare won't cover them. As such, I'd like to get a 5th wheel that will work over them so I never have to swap 2 tires on a trail. Any ideas on what the cheapest wheel is that would work as a spare and cover the 231mm calipers? Looking for cheap...

John installed my SS1.2 kit about 4 months ago. Everything was done well and it still feels rock solid. Its pricey, but if you're like me and not comfortable messing around with mission critical suspension/ brake components then its a great option.

Thank you - much appreciated.

Hey, has anyone gotten a 255/85/r16 to fit in their spare tire holder after modifying it? If so what'd it entail? I saw a thread over on expedition portal that made me think it's possible but haven't seen any confirmation. I'm going to use mine for more overland and less rock crawling so the...

Hi, I've got a 2000 Limited, and I'm replacing what I believe is the original OEM head unit. Upon removing the old head unit, I realized the wire harness I have is the wrong one. Does anyone know what the right one is? Images of the wiring in my dash are below. Also including the images...

Ah, I see what you're saying and that should work. I'll look around for the right relay. Thank you.

That's certainly the easiest option but the PushTV only outputs HDMI so If I use one I'll lose lose an input. This may end up being the right option, but if I can have two USB inputs I'll like to.

Hey, I'm going to be installing a new head unit next week and as part of that will be installing a Netgear Push2TV to use google maps on the screen. I can wire a USB adapter like this one to power the Push2TV, but this will result in the Push2TV being on all the time the car is on. Thoughts on...

New 4Runner in Seattle Hey everyone - I just grabbed a stock 2000 Limited 4Runner (photos below) and am looking for a good shop to install a lift (likely SS 1.2) and Tundra brakes since I have neither the space nor tools to do it myself (live in Seattle w/o a garage). The tires are almost done...
