update So ive done it. My final design was just a light bar parallel with the bumper infront of the grill. Its the same kind of deal as JAOS except the final cost was like 60 bucks +effort and i think its going to good if not better than their bar. I used two three foot steel square tubing...

it was very similar to their: Bacova 18" x 30" Textured Parquet Mat, however I dont think this is the exact one, as mine was bigger, and had horizontal lines of carpet with rubber inbetween

So im back at it, its been forever. I ended up making the front floating brackets that work pretty well, but i learned a few things that I will take into consideration with my final design. First being that the front bumper support bar is not that thick, and does not appear to be very strong at...

I looked into mats for my cargo area. I bought the 4runner floor mats, because they looked like the best idea and the have been incredible, however when given the option to shell out like in total 200 bucks for the cargo area mats I promptly changed my mind (weathertec). Instead I went to lowes...

Yea thats what i was thinking of, however i was going to run those two verticle beams around the front bumper mounting to the frame underneath some how. I havent been able to look at it, im the middle of finals comming into spring break

Yea, Ive changed my design to more of a Trophy Truck style. Im gonna use tubing throughout the guard. two tubes will attach to the frame, travel upwards and meet a horizontal bar that will follow the profile of the upper bumper, with another peice comming out at a small angle following the...

Thats a definate possibility, I would definatly want to come and check them out somtime.

Yea so I decided to fabricate my own, stopped by a freinds with a welder and were gonna put one together, Ill post pics and let you guys know how it turns out

So ive been looking for options to mount my Hella 500's and PIAA driving lights to my '06 runner. Mainly looking at a light bar, but theres no way in hell that Im gonna pay $350 bucks for a light bar, from a company that also sells mud guards for $500 bucks (jaos). Has anyone made a custom light...

Yea so I hear, I got some tips to go check out this Lake up there, and I have a few other places in the ADK that i hear are good. At this point, Im just trying to get soemthing planned for when the weather gets warmer. I think I might venture out at some point this weekend and do a quick recon...

Just signed up for the forum finally. I have been using this forum for information for ages, leading to the purchase of my new '06 Sport Edition which is an incredible machine. Anyways, Im outside of Albany about 20min, looking to gain POC (points of contact) in the area with people that 4wheel...
