    Rear Lower Shock Guard for King 2.5?

    Icon shin guards DO NOT fit King 2.5s I can tell you with 100% certainty that the icon shock guards don’t fit king 2.5s... that was a waste of $125... I “modified” them to fit and they lasted one light wheeling trip.. they are destroyed now and had to come off. Modifying them didn’t work...

    Dirtco's Adventure Thread

    Got to get out with Jeremiah this past weekend and get a breath of much needed fresh air. Thanks for the tour of the area Jeremiah! Here's a little teaser of the terrain we got to see. <a data-flickr-embed="true"...

    Dirtco's Adventure Thread

    Looks killer Jeremiah, you never cease to impress. I thought the approach angle on your old bumper was good, but leave it to the 3rd gen wizard to find a way to improve approach angle and make it look badass. I love the Baja inspired front end. A 24" frame height on a 37" tire is seriously...

    Tyler James Inc's Ultimate '01 SR5

    Man I can't get over how clean this thing is. Keep up the good work. I volunteer to be anti-satoshi mod member #2 if the position isn't already filled.

    Fridge full-time power wire routing

    ^^ this for sure. I ran 4awg from the battery to a blue sea breaker under the hood, then 4awg from the breaker to the cargo area and have a 12 blade power block back there. I attached a 12v digital meter to the block to monitor amperage drop. With my phone charging, the fridge running and my...

    Dirtco's Adventure Thread

    It was once again an epic trip. Great views, great times and even better people to be out on an adventure with. Here are a couple of pictures from the trip, like Dirtco and EatonKyleH said, we were more just in the moment than documenting but I have a few pics from my phone. The top of...

    Rolling_Thunder's Build Thread

    If you are looking at mounting a spare and aren't dead set on having it in the cab, maybe you could build something similar to a wilco hitch gate, it just slides into the factory receiver and then swings open and allows you to retain the factory hitch. It would let you keep your stock bumpers...

    What's everyone using for storage boxes in their T4R?

    I built my own storage solution. There is a cubby right behind the seat that holds jumper cables, air hose and such. Then the lift top box holds all my other stuff. It's modular as well. The box comes out with 4 bolts. The fridge cover comes off the slide out, or the whole thing comes out...

    Roof Top Tent (RTT) Picture Gallery & BS Thread

    I did the same thing with turning the aluminum cross bars on the tent and mounting to the factory rails. I actually didn't cut mine down I just left them factory length because eventually I plan to have an aftermarket rack. The extra bit is actually ok and doesn't make any noise. I like...

    What did 1Engineer buy?

    I really appreciate your (in my opinion) fair review on this. I went from a 2016 Tacoma TRD sport to a 4runner SR5 premium. I really enjoyed the Tacoma for the 10k miles I owned it but at the end of the day, I wanted more covered interior space and for me being a bigger guy, I needed more head...

    Removing TRD OR Badge

    This happened on my Tacoma. I was told that it was because the badges were applied before the paint had fully cured. Don't know if its true or not but never know. I would say use a "buff and cut" technique and try to clean it up like they do for runs in the clear coat or paint. No idea how...

    Auxiliary Fuel Tank

    DO NOT WELD ON THE FILLER NECK WHILE IT'S ATTACHED TO THE FUEL TANK!!! This killed me haha! I appreciate that you are cautious enough to put this warning out but it scares the hell out of me that this even needed to be said.....

    Best way to run 4 ga wire to the rear of the truck?

    If I can make a suggestion, I would make sure that the wire is fused or that you put a circuit breaker between the battery and the inverter. I installed a blue sea 60a circuit breaker under the hood before the firewall. Maybe 12-14" of 4awg, then the breaker, then continued on through the...

    Dirtco's 1999 4Runner Build

    Texas to Montana

    It would be about 2ish hours out of your way to Kremmling, CO but the North Sand Hills OHV park is worth the trip. Its the only sand dunes in Colorado that vehicles are allowed to drive on. https://www.recreation.gov/recreationalAreaDetails.do?contractCode=NRSO&recAreaId=1693 Might be worth a...
