They make winch mounts that go in a hitch mount like on the rear of the 4runner. I'm not sure of a hidden hitch mount for the front of the 4runner though. Making quick disconnects for the power leads is pretty easy. Here is an example of what I did on the front of my GMC: Untitled by JASON...

Are you looking for a portable winch or this one specifically? You can make any winch portable pretty easy.

So these are the parts which I replaced from the previous persons post: Hub & Bearing Assy, Rear Axle, LH Retainer, Rear Axle Bearing, Inner LH Ring, O (For Rear Axle Bearing Case LH) Ring, Snap (For Rear Axle Shaft LH) Seal, Oil (For Rear Axle Shaft LH) The reluctor ring for the traction...

I just had this done. I was out of warranty so it was out of pocket. I pulled the axle myself. The unit bearing itself is pressed on the axle shaft and takes a special fixture. All in I was out 600 bucks approximately for 1 side with me doing all the labor except the pressing and getting the old...

I keep mine installed and tigthtened with a screwdriver which I keep in my recovery bag.

Adding all that weight doesn't leave much room for stuff. Make sure you take a look at your GVW and compare that to what you weigh after adding all the armor and stuff. You may not have any room left for passengers or gear. GVW is a rating based on things other than suspension capacity such...

I have Shrockwork sliders on my truck which are great but I have a little concern on how thick that piece of plate is that the shackle goes through. It doesn't look more than 1/4" max. I am also not a fan of fairleads for bumpers like this that are not vertically mounted. when they are angled...

When/if you get a slim line bumper you can always drill your own holes and do like I did: Untitled by JASON MCKIMMEY, on Flickr

My front sway bar bushing creak bad now after going on a offroading trip at the beginning of November. I just lube them up every now and then and that helps.

Not a fan of the angled mount for the winch fairlead. it looks like when the cable/rope comes off the winch on a straight horizontal pull it will be rubbing on both the top and bottom of that hause fairlead. With this design, if the nose of the truck is up and you are pulling at a slight...
