WTB running boards Anyone have running boards, stock or otherwise, in good shape for cheap in the northeast? I'm in CT 06812.

I'm in CT 06812. Anyone within a few hours have running boards in good condition, stock or otherwise?

So, I was exploring some unmaintained roads near Stratton this afternoon and went to turn around on what looked like a snowy, flat shoulder...and turned out to be a snowy, 2-3 foot ditch :doh:. The road itself has snow, but it's packed flat and pretty easily traveled. I need to get pulled out...

It wasn't really luck so much as I chose a table that would fit.

Here's the latest! First, a Slumberjack Roadhouse canopy: Initial impressions: Pretty easy to set up, especially with 2 people. I haven't tried the single pole set up yet, but I'm thinking that will be easier when solo. I also haven't tried the freestanding configuration either. Nice and...

In its current configuration, I carpooled with another person a couple of weeks ago no problem. A shuttle with three people was...a bit tight. One of my priorities in designing this has been versatility and ease of changes. Right now, the back seats are removed, but I sized the platform so that...

You know you have a problem when river funk smells good to you. My most recent mod is I bought my wife a car so I don't have to share the truck. :D

Um...are you me? https://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/276886-finally-made-my-sleeping-platform.html#post3353159 We even have the same wheels.

First outing was a success! However, headroom was indeed a bit tight, so I decided to make a cut out for the wheel hump and lower the platform a couple inches. It made a world of difference. Drive mode: Sleep mode:

Yup, usually on my own, but it's nice to have at least one back seat for shuttling people between river take-out and put-in. Easy enough to take it out in the future though.

Thank you! I've seen much cooler, more elaborate builds, but I wanted to start real simple and do it in a way that I could add to and modify over time according to my needs. One thing I definitely will do soon is figure out a small awning over the liftgate window, so I can still have the...

That's a cargo net I made a couple years ago. I'm on mobile now, but I have another thread about it if you want details. I'll probably take it down now that I have more storage under the bed, to increase headroom a bit. But, no, can't really sit up with the new platform. That was the biggest...

As a whitewater kayaker, I camp most weekends between April and October. I love sleeping in the back of the 4runner and, up until now, have just dropped the seats and thrown an air mattress in there. However, it's kind of a hassle to deflate the air mattress every morning and shuffle all the...

I still have this and will take just about any offer!
