Hi everyone, New member here. Thank you very much for creating this site! We purchased a 2020 ORP about a year ago. We wanted it for remote camping and exploring. Have already done quite a few mods.. some off-shelf stuff (tires, suspension etc) and more than a few custom mods mostly storage...

Custom Structured Rear Seat Storage without taking out the seats! When my wife and I go off-grid camping, having a bunch of loose bags and camping goods rolling around the rear seat of the 4runner got old pretty fast. In researching a solution (there are some great ones from goose gear and...

Custom Onboard Compressor Setup In the past we had a very cheap compressor. Once we upgraded the tires on the truck it became obvious how inadequate that would be so I researched the options. I purchased a Viair 440p, and ran it for several trips as it's intended. Portable connection direct to...

Custom Kitchen / Storage We'd had experience with running a camp kitchen out of the back of our previous vehicle (a soft roader) this included slides for a cooler and the stove as well as a drawer for kitchen storage (plates, utensils etc). For the 4runner we wanted more pantry space and the...

Hi everyone. Here's our 2020 5th gen 4runner build thread. We bought the vehicle primarily for off-grid camping and exploring this magnificent country.. we're not fans of crowded campsites :) First couple of things we did was add the frontrunner slimline ii roof rack which then enabled me to...

I purchased these... I purchased these (I have a 5th gen) and fitted them myself .. they work great! Amazon.com: Qty (2) Fits 4Runner 2010 To 2021 Liftgate Lift Supports Models with Added Lifting Pressure for Ladder : Automotive Stay safe out there.

yes it's a little annoying.. I totally agree. A little annoying.. also doesn't help with clearance on the front end. I ended up getting Bilstein 5100s all around. Lifted the front the full 2.5 inches. Also, specific to our use of the truck (we're off-grid camping) ... WEIGHT Whether it's a...

front valance - black I just did this upgrade last week.. It took me a while to figure the best strategy for me. I started focused on wrapping... however, wrapping is expensive where I am .. a little better than paint for durability but not much in my opinion. I ended up buying a brand new...

after doing research I just did this upgrade last week.. It took me a while to figure the best strategy for me. I was fully on-board with painting, but I realized paint will probably come off after some hard trails. Then I focused on wrapping... however, wrapping is really expensive.. a little...

brakes. On my 202 ORP it has a brake light there. Stay safe.

Awesome.. Thank you for the advice! Will absolutely keep them in mind as I may be shipping my ORP to dallas on the way to pick up a trailer later this year. Stay safe out there.

OEM and replacement Believe it or not I think the panasonic you have currently is the OEM. Mine is OEM and it's a panasonic. If you're camping (especially off-grid) I would highly recommend buy-once-cry-once on a replacement battery.. from what my research has shown me Odyssey and Northstar...

mountain climbing in solcal Went up in the southern sierras.. gorgeous.

not too bad.. The guys here have good advice.. if you feel the price is good then you should be ok.. hit it with the angle grinder and then some inox mx3. Here's a good video on how to maintain you truck after you've cleaned it up Washing your 4x4 vehicle 10 Tips - YouTube

welcome! Welcome to the forum! Great pic btw. Speaking personally (I've run jeeps before) you'll find the 4runner so much more comfortable as well as more reliable. The jeeps sure are fun to drive though! Enjoy your truck! And stay safe out there.
