Great build. I like your ARB rack, I don't see many of those.

this is a bit different I think....you still have your rear backup view on the infotainment screen, but you no longer have a glass rear view mirror but rather a "Rear view mirror that is actually a permanent monitor" I'm not sure if it is an option or if it is standard.

It is built on a global platform, it currently has over 100k in annual sales, it has a loyal following, toyota makes bank on each one they sell....it isn't going anywhere (meaning they're not getting rid of it for the U.S. market). Also: It is a special niche that nobody else has. If...

The rear view mirror is actually an LCD screen and there is an exterior camera dedicated to it. I wonder how that will work in actual use (especially at night). This is probably going to be a trend we'll see on many vehicles now.....but I'm not sure why a simple mirror doesn't do the job.

I see alot of Subaru Outback coming though in the adventure model. I'm pretty sure this is the demographic they're going after with this one. I think the unpainted fender flares look pretty good and add some contrast. Agree that the interior looks very impressive.

Here is a link to the concept for reference. Doesn't have all the cool features but the general shape is the same. https://www.toyota.com/concept-vehicles/ft-ac/

Looks like the new Rav4 is out. The adventure trim looks pretty similar to the concept crossover that was out not long ago. It has multi-terrain select. I think it looks pretty good, what do you all think? https://www.toyota.com/upcoming-vehicles/rav4/ 2019 Toyota RAV4 First Look: New Look...

The only catastrophic failure I've experienced was not having an awesome 4Runner in my life sooner.

If I'm free I'd be interested in tagging along.

Thanks for posting all of this. Any tips for attaching the filter bracket? When I tried using the self tapping screws, the bracket loosely jiggles around. I was thinking of perhaps using an epoxy of sorts to affix it.

This seems to be the connector listed above... https://www.dormanproducts.com/p-26170-47309.aspx?origin=keyword

I consider this to be a plus. I'm actually glad it doesn't have one.

I think it is a good idea. I rode in my friend's renegade and thought it would be a great little runabout to own, if it were not for the Fiat built reliability concerns (they are made in Italy). I thought it was cool, fun, and surprising spacious inside. I'd buy one to supplement my 4runner...

I really like what you did! Great job!

Bug deflectors make a huge difference with small bugs....it's the large ones you have to look out for. Like mosquitoes in Florida or VW bugs...
