Traded my 2015 for a new 2023 SR5P in late December. Got $2000 off MSRP, and got them to throw in the Trail Running boards, locking lug nuts, and the stainless exhaust tip too. Seems there may have been better deals out there to be had, but I wanted a specific color (silver), no third row, and...

Hi everyone, Recently traded my '15 4Runner for a '23, and want to do some undercoating this time around to try to prevent some of the surface rust I got on the frame of the '15. I've got a case of RP-342 Cosmoline (the black color) on the way. After watching some comparisons with Fluid Film...

I ran into the same problem as others have mentioned: not enough gap between the roof and the factory crossbars. Here is my thread with photos: https://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/195348-yakima-whispbar-skybox-16-install-photos.html#post1995350

Currently have an SR5 premium, and I’m considering purchasing a new Off-Road Premium. I prefer the appearance of the matte silver interior trim pieces in the SR5, as I feel like they probably conceal scratches, dust, and fingerprints better. That said, I have not spent time in an Off-Road...

Ultimate pet liner... If you go cargo liner, you may want to check this one out. I looked at the CanvasBack, but didn't like that the wheel wells and sides were unprotected from claws. This is good for protecting the sides when hauling gear in addition to the dog...

I had the same issue; I'm not sure how anyone is getting the Skybox 16 on with the factory crossbars. Time for aftermarket crossbars. Here is my thread on the topic.

Perfect weather and peak leaf color here in Colorado this past weekend were thankfully more than enough to take my mind off the debacle that our season has turned into. That said, Auburn football has given me some amazing memories over the past 5 years, so I'm just sucking it up and dealing...

Sought out some fall color. Colorado in late September is tough to beat.

SOLD! Hey everyone, I've changed the direction I want to go in terms of sliders on my ride, so I am putting these Shrockworks sliders up for sale to put toward another purchase. I received them recently, and they've never been installed on my 4R, so they are brand new. All the hardware is...

Saw you driving in Superior not too long ago; loving the shots of the open space. Definitely talented! You may need to take that drone and get some footage of the mountain bikers and sell it. ;)

Just got back from a camping trip, from Denver to Moab and back. Box was pretty solid, even while driving 75-80mph through some pretty intense winds out in western CO and UT. For the most part, vertical movement was minimal, but the front nose of the box did have a slight bit of bouncing...

And good to see there are some other Auburn fans on the forum! War Eagle everyone!

I'll try to get a shot of the hinges and post. You do lose some usable room due to the aerodynamic taper of the box, but the hinges are at least fairly close to the ends.

I just did the install last night, so no experience yet with it on the highway to evaluate the stability at-speed. I do have a camping trip coming up where I'll get to test the stability on the road; I'll report back.

Hey everyone, I wanted to share some photos of the Yakima Whispbar crossbar system and Skybox 16 Pro installed. Camping season is coming up, so hopefully these photos help anyone else researching cargo boxes! When researching cargo boxes on the forum, I saw a thread mentioning that the Skybox...
