That's awesome. I saw a truck box just down the street that looks like someone is throwing away, and I found myself wondering what I could do with that metal. This could be the ticket. Sent from my SM-G975U1 using Tapatalk

I'm late to the party, but you can do it. I'm 6'3 and have spent at least 60 days sleeping in the back of my 4Runner over the past few years out in the wilderness. I came from a Grand Cherokee, and one of the first things I did there was to install quick release pins to be able to take the...

Independent shop, chain, or dealer?

The Arkon mounts that I have looked at (for my tablet) are floor mount, either screw into the floorboards directly, or using the seat mount bolts. Since windshield mounts are technically illegal in my state, and the mount I currently use says very specifically not to apply on the dash pad (for...

I know this is a little old, but do you have pics of how you mounted your rack to the roof? Did you fabricate feet for it?

What bumper is that?

That's basically what I'm talking about. The lever on the driver' side of the steering wheel column flips back and forth fine, but the wheel is now locked in it's uppermost position.

That was my first thought, too. There are two wires that I put in that would pass through the general area, and neither of them are hung on anything, and move freely. They both appear to be not close enough to the tilt lever/assembly to affect anything. I was hoping someone had run into...

I've been doing some audio gear installation and center console cleanup recently, and put things back together last night. This morning when I pulled out to go to work, I noticed that my steering wheel tilt won't tilt. I popped the bottom dash panel off and don't see anything wrong with a quick...

Installed new Spec-D projector headlights. Wish I had done some more reading about them before, and I will have to see how things go.

Finally installed the GTA Car Kits Pure Bluetooth module for my stereo. What a difference that makes! In the process, I pulled out and cleaned most of the center console. I was going to install some new USB power ports, but I really just ran out of time, so that will happen soon.

Any updates? I need some feet to mount the rack I'm building, and this would be a huge start. I'd even be willing to buy feet if I could find some that would work.

Sure. I'm at work right now, so I only have what I've uploaded to the cloud. Here's a pic of the 4R at camp, all set up. Unfortunately, best pic I have of the awning setup. Here's at night shot. I used a Power Practical Luminoodle to provide the awning lighting, and a set of cheap battery...

Today? Just ran the 4WD and center diff through their paces to keep them working well. But, in the past week, I put on my new awning, built a solar powered cooling system for the interior for the camping trip I took that turned out much colder and wetter than expected, and worked on building...

Unfortnately, it looks like I popped all three of the spot welds on my driver's door window regulator, so I spent far more time taking the door apart than I wanted.
