Thanks for the comment on my 4Runner. The orange on my rock sliders is non-skid tape which I ordered online from a safety supply company (had to order a full 50' roll). Hope this helps ... Arie

Thanks for the props on my 4Runner. Talk to Chris Hefty at Hefty FabWorks about this bumper. He might be talked into building another. Take note, this bumper is a bugger to install. Arie

SOLD!! 2010 4Runner Trail Edition- $36,000 Calgary SOLD!! I've decided to sell my black 2010 4Runner Trail Edition. The truck is located in Calgary, Alberta. It's an extra-low mileage fully equipped overlanding/offroading rig; only 27,000 kms (17,000 miles)!! CDN$36,000. Truck is pristine...

Topdeck is referring to the 5th gen T4R cat-back system from Magnaflow (PART# 15584). I have it on my 2010 4Runner and, as Topdeck attests, no highway drone. This cat-back exhaust has a nice mellow tone but I bought it for the side-exit tip location (goes well with a higher clearance custom rear...

Thought I'd chime in here since I had to have my ShrockWorks bumper shipped all the way to Canada. First, the bumpers are crated up for shipping .. shipping weight with the crate is around 260 lbs and the crate is 8 feet long. This is not something where you (and your buddy?) each grab an end...

Thanks for giving me your impression of how busy Hefty Fabworks are at the moment and some measure of the bumper installation difficulty. I was rather hoping to make a road trip to Colorado Springs later this year and have Chris install another one of his creations himself.

Andrew, your Hefty bumper looks great! I talked to Chris on the same morning you were to arrive in Colorado Springs. He sounded a bit more optimistic than what you're reporting about when he thought he might be able to start taking pre-orders. Chris figured the installation of your bumper would...

I never had a hi-lift on my RRO rack when it was still on my truck but it looks like you're missing the u-bolts necessary to attach the brackets to the longitudinal rack tubes. There are a few pictures on the RRO webpage for the 5th Gen roof rack that will give you an idea of how the brackets...

You would do a world of good to the handling of your 4Runner by upgrading to LT tires rather than sticking with P rated tires. The 4Runner really does need a beefier tire carcass to get rid of that "at sea" ride quality.

Gotta agree with what harper7 states about the Icon Shin Guards and driving to protect vulnerable components. I had shock boots on my rear shocks but I got worried about pitting on the shock shafts. I cut off the shock boots and installed the Icon Shin Guards. With these in place and picking...

+1 what TOPDECK said. The 4Runner interior isn't exactly a high-fidelity acoustic chamber.

Maybe this picture helps sort things out ... The brackets do indeed need to bolted up so they sit inside the lip of the fuel tank skid plate. I dunno why your fuel tank skid plate brackets are sitting 2 inches short of where they bolt up to the truck. At the risk of asking the obvious, are...

Congratulations! Well .. almost since your diff skid is still AWOL. Same with my BudBuilt skid plate order .. all I received were installation instructions for the FJC. For the most part, the FJC installation instructions will translate directly to the 4Runner. I did do a bit of headscratching...

Please let's not approach Hefty Fabworks with a group buy query. It's been proven repeatedly that group buys pooch a fab shop's production scheduling. Look at what happened with the ShrockWorks and Gobi group buys. The Hefty Fabworks rear bumper is already quoted to take 5 months from time of...
