    Is it absolutely stupid that I want to buy a winch just because it looks cool?

    Winch or not to winch, that is the question... Not to beat a dead horse, but getting it for the looking seems to be subjective. I have a 2016 TEP and as you can see in the pictures modified it to suit my needs. As the aesthetics are important, do it. Also if you even take it off-road, do it...

    4 Runner Accessories for Trail Running I added a new rear extension and travel method for running new trails that are too narrow for the 4 Runner - A new way to enjoy the outdoors in the mountains of Colorado. :banana:

    Rhino-Rack Install Write Up

    It has been awhile but I remember measuring it before and after and I want to say the the Rhino Rack system was a little lower than the factory roof rail height. Others should confirm but at worst it is about the same. I had the same issue being concerned about getting my 4 Runner into my...

    I remember seeing your 4 Runner on the trail. I passed you as you where stopped with a couple of other vehicles on the Middle St V trail. I remember because I think we where the only 4Runners on the trail with a lot of JK's. Enjoy our nice fall weather.

    Driving Lessons I always find that if you want your girlfriend or wife to come out on the trails with you, it is best to teach them the joys of off-road driving. I got new tires and wheels last week, so I took my girlfriend out to test them and give her a little time in the driver's seat. She...

    Expedition One Rear Bumper

    I have the front of my T4R the way I want it, but the rear still needs a little upgrading. Beautifully done - now I have bumper envy. Question though, can you remove the swing out arms "easily" when you are using the T4R in a daily driver situation? I have been looking at this bumper, but...

    What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

    So I did a little weekend out with the "boys" in sourthern and central Colorado over the Labor Day weekend and I ripped out the sidewall of my Duratrac's traveling up a pass which was primarily made up off sharp and loose scree (rocks). These tires were the Passenger version and not the LT...

    Anyone try JBA A-Arms?

    JBA with stock Trail wheels I have had my JBA UCA's with BP-51 suspension of over a year and have had zero issues or rubbing with stock wheels. Note that I have Durtrac 255-70-17 tires.

    Rhino-Rack Install Write Up

    Rhino Rack questions - answers I really like this rack. It does not interfere with the sunroof in either the opening or the tilt positions. I have not measured but there is still an inch or two of clearance with the tilt function. There is more wind noise with the sunroof open but I do not...

    Rhino-Rack Install Write Up

    Mine is dirty as I just came back from a trip as seen in previous pictures. I use a power washer and it gets most of the dirt and dust off the rack and the roof You could remove it periodically as it only takes 4 bolts and a couple of minutes to take the rack off the backbone system.

    Rhino-Rack Install Write Up

    I installed the 76 x 49 pioneer platform on the backbone system and there is NO drilling required to either the platform or the roof of the vehicle. I believe that the larger 84" version requires drilling of the platform as it adds an extension to the 76 version to get it to 84". Someone who...

    Rhino-Rack Install Write Up

    Mgreezy - OK here are a few photos of my sunroof with the Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform (76" x 49") on their Backbone system. It covers about 1/2 the sunroof closed and about 1/3 of the open area when the roof is opened as the glass does not go 100% back. As for the practical experience, it does...
