    FS: True North Fab recovery points (4th/5th 4runner, GX470, FJ) $80

    I got these unfinished and spray painted them black. They were mounted on my 4runner for a while but never used for a recovery/etc. I put a fresh coat of rattle can on them. I'm located near Portland, OR, but willing to ship. $80. Buyer pays shipping.

    V8 Hitch - RIGd Ultraswing (Multifit)

    you should be able to tell by looking at what hitch you have. if you do have the tow package hitch you can just replace it with the regular one (which will increase your departure angle). post up a pic of your hitch if you're unsure.

    4wd problem

    I don't believe any oil leaked out, but it was a while ago and can't quite remember. the screws are a PITA to get too. good luck!

    Rigid UltraSwing for 5th Gen 4Runner - Anyone using it?

    Mine is mounted on a 4th gen but I think all these things apply. I love mine! The main reason I got it was to haul bikes on camping trips and not have to fuss around and unload them to access the cargo space. I got mine right when they were released, so reliability-wise - top notch...

    GFC Superlite

    From the top of the Prinsu rack to the top of the tent it's about 6" with the mattress installed. I think the claim is you can get it down to 4" if you don't have a mattress, and up to about 8" if you have mattress and bedding. I just leave the mattress in the tent and will leave sleeping bags...

    2005: Current HIR options for low beam (9006) & high beam (9005)?

    I've got an 07 so different bulbs for low beam but I got these from this website. They are great.

    I placed the order right when they started the preorder. I got mine 2 or 3 weeks ago.

    Cargo Drawer Build

    I removed the padding under the carpet because it wasn't letting the platform sit flush. I added in some sound deadening material instead and put the carpet back on top. Yeah, the tent is rad, highly recommend it! And they are a great company.

    GFC Superlite

    Well, finally joined the RTT club. After months of waiting, I finally got the GFC Superlite. As soon as it became available for presale I jumped on it because of the weight and profile (and price!). At only 80lbs I can hardly tell it's on the roof, and I don't notice a considerable loss in mpg's...

    *Fred_Runner Build*

    Finally joined the RTT club. I got myself a Superlite! The big wins for me are the profile and weight. The first trip out and it's rad! It's not as quick to set up as some other tents, but it sure beats a ground tent, and to be honest, I don't feel the weight at all when driving. DSC02258 by...

    Cargo Drawer Build

    hey, I don't have an exact price but I'd guess around $300-$400. The locking drawer slides were the most expensive part - maybe $150. I used mid-priced plywood and then an order of aluminum and bolts/tee nuts from Mcmaster.
