I have a Westscott ladder on my T4R, and am thinking about a jerry can mount for it. I envision a plate attached to the side of the ladder with an arm on a hinge. On the other side of the ladder would be another plate with a latch. The jerry can would be across the width of the ladder. If you...

I did the same thing and it worked nicely. I was tired of driving on freeways my GPS said didn’t exist…

I've used the hi-lift to free my self when I had my FJ and high-centered it on the hitch, that I didn't remove when we made camp - opps! Now I always take off the hitch if I'm towing anything. I've never had to use the hi-lift with the 4Runner - yet. I've used the e-tool....and the shovel -...

Forgot to add that I have the adapter so I can use my sliders as a jacking point. Worth its weight in gold, in my not so humble opinion. Make sure your rails are capable of supporting your vehicle if you go this route Safety first or second, or is it third?

I carry a hi-lift jack, full size shovel, and a full size axe on my roof rack when traveling off road. I keep a hatchet and e-tool in my gear box all the time, in case I go off road unplanned, or something unforeseen happens

installed a TRD skid plate - don't know why I didn't do this sooner! it was easy, the two longest steps were removing the old skid plate and plastic piece, followed by chasing the threads with a tap for the longer bolts. I chased all 4 threaded spots. Then I put anti-seize on all 4 bolts before...

WestScott has a decent rack I have their ladder on my T4R

I have one and love the color!Mines a 2016 TEP

get her to pay for an aftermarket bumper... and drop the insurance claim. :peep:

Thanks! I will be playing with them and get them to print on my laser with avery card stock.

Jason is a good guy. When I had my FJ, he did the suspension. He had a cool dog named Elvis or something. I have his sliders on my T4R, I may see about having some work done by his shop.

JIT only works for components you can source from multiple vendors and will not get disrupted. Single source items you must carry safety stock or you will suffer greatly if the single source has any issues. How much safety stock is a function of lead times, demand, and anticipated length of...

this was my experience. shop installed the suspension, sent to to someone else for the alignment. They handled it all and the bill was a pass thru for the alignment.

it's actually more for trail use. I was with a group in Colorado a few years back and we stopped when we hit some heavy fog (cloud) tail gunner had a setup like this on his rig and it avoided a collision. Idiot running up the trail saw the the tail lights and would have passed on the wrong...
