    general light question

    I always want to install those kind of front lights, but it seems you have to have a grill for it. Any way to have the light install without the grill? (because it's too expensive for me now.). 2006 4runner SR5. Thanks!

    anything to tow a 2006 4R?

    I'm not sure what do you mean duelly trailer. But I don't have any kind. So if I need one, my choice would be from U-haul and this is all I can expect: http://www.uhaul.com/guide/index.aspx?equipment=towing-autotransport As in this case, there is a 4000lbs limit on this trailer and my 4runner...

    Okay, guys, sounds like the option is pretty much nailed. I'm going with the 6x12. thank you all for the great advice. :-)

    You can fit a 06 4runner in there? Also, what kind of payload are we talking about? I can empty the car as it was just back from the dealer, anything else?

    Is this trail that you are referring to? http://www.uhaul.com/guide/index.aspx?equipment=towing-autotransport Okay, guys, now I'm more on the trailer solution. The only thing that still worries me is the weight. Obviously I don't wanna crash the flatbed. Now, a little lookup: A 1999 4RUNNER...

    Yeah, a larger U-HUAL trailer would work for me, otherwise it seems that towing this 4runner with a u-haul or a pickup truck is too much of a hassle, not to mention the liability issue that you mentioned.

    anything to tow a 2006 4R?

    I am moving to Boston area from Tennessee. Is there anything I could drive to tow my 2006 4R RWD? Most rental companies don't do towing rental and most moving comanies like U-haul find 4R too heave to tow. It seems that only two choices are left, either just drive it or trasport it, which is too...

    kayak rack plan

    I did about 100 miles of highway. As long as it's tightened well, it's ok, but yeah, you are right about the aerodynamic thing. Just that the roller makes it easy for one person to lift the kayak up. I didn't do saltwater kayaking this time. But I would also like to know the answer to the...

    kayak rack plan

    I decided to pass the fairing plan, because eventually now I have got used to the wind noise pretty well. Not that big deal. :biggrin2: It took me some time to figure out the best way to load, unload and tighten-up, but once it's figured out, it's really very easy for just one person. I also...

    kayak rack plan

    okay, just settled with the roller/saddle system. Just one more question, with the rollers+saddles on, the wind noise is really noticable while driving without a kayak on top. Any suggestion? Or I just take it off when no kayak is on. Thanks.
