These look a lot like the IRIS 82 totes I ended up buying ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000KA33Q8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1) Great thing about these is they fit 3 wide across my Baja Roof Rack.

Exactly the thread I was looking for. Thanks!

ProComp 7036. I wasn't sure I would like the fake beadlocks look, but I'm very happy with the way it turned out. Here's another pic of the wheels.

I didn't know it was that easy to adjust. I'll be ordering that spanner wrench ASAP. I'll be taking the truck in to get the caster adjusted soon. Probably be a good idea to catch up on the alignment threads I've stumbled upon here on T4R.

My GF had to endure me constantly showing her pictures from build threads for a good 2 years now. I think she went along with it for her own mental health benefits. :jump: It was kind of funny, the "closer" salesman was looking at her for approval for almost everything. She was able...

Thank you! I'll contact the dealer to ask them about the caster. When I get home I'm going to check if they gave me any alignment related paperwork.

My mechanical skills are no close to where they need to be to where I feel comfortable doing much to a brand new vehicle. Now my '85 4Runner, that's a different story. On the '85 I've replaced the shocks, and a few other mods here and there. And yes, I do find it very rewarding.

The guy I spoke to from the shop said his department handles the Toyota lift installs for many dealerships in the San Diego area. I'd bet most of those installs are a lot less complex than an Icon stage 2 though. I think I'll sleep a little better if I have a known Toyota shop give her a once...

Alrighty. I snapped these pics this morning. It looks like there is about 2" of exposed thread. Should I still back it down a bit? The ride seems pretty level, I've tried eyeballing whether it's higher or lower in the front, but my brain starts playing tricks on me. I'm pretty sure this lift...

And that expertise is why I love this site. Can you give me some advice or ammo I can use to get the dealer to correct it? Perhaps I can get Icon support to chime in, or take it to a reputable 4x4 shop? Thanks

Please explain. I'll be taking it back in for mandatory adjustments at the 1k miles or 30 day mark. Should I take it in before then? The lift was installed by the dealership, who outsources the lift installs to 4x4 Parts. I'd like to think they know what they are doing, but you never know.

The Day you pick her up from the dealer... I rescued this pretty puppy on Feb 14th 2016. Yes, I have a very tolerant girlfriend. :) Her first grooming... April 4th, 2016. After a looooong wait for the dealership to receive the parts, the Icon stage 2 was installed. April 8th...

Took her to go play in the desert rain....

FWIW I contacted Snaprest support and they said they are working on an armrest for the 5th gen 4Runners. Didn't sound like it was going to happen anytime soon though.

Hey rigtec! Thanks for the links and motivating words. I'm in the very early stages of planing out the new audio system. I've decided to house the amps, a DSP, and other system gear in an Antman style rear storage cabinet. I'm even brainstorming hooking up a raspberry pi into the mix. I'll...
