    Anyone move/relocate their trailer wire plug(too short)?

    Hitch plug This is all you need. I just installed it so it's right at the bumper, so much easier to reach. When you unwrap the tape, there is extra wire length looped and taped up inside. Kit comes with 2 self tapping bolts easy to install with impact driver. There is a youtube video on it too...

    Southern Style Offroad Bumper Experience

    I just want to close the loop on this thread. I have been in touch with Lee with SSO and accepted his previous offer of powder coat fee reduction and touch up kit. I think all of this stemmed from miscommunication and other than a lot of time going by (expected given current conditions) SSO did...

    Southern Style Offroad Bumper Experience

    Yes, you nailed it on the head with the last paragraph. If I was offered a small discount initially I would have accepted and moved on. Unfortunately they never offered and instead I was told I would be getting sent a new bumper in a few weeks which never showed up. So I've been sitting around...

    Southern Style Offroad Bumper Experience

    Well this thread turned into a real cluster real fast. I just wanted to share my experience since I get a lot out of this forum. I don't blame SSO for the damage and ordered from them for a reason. I like their bumpers. So I'm a perfectionist and don't want a dented brand new bumper after 9...

    Southern Style Offroad Bumper Experience

    I would if it was just the powder coat. The corner of the bumper is bashed in like it was hit with a sledgehammer and the steel is bent and deformed. It looks bad. I can't really fix it. If I bash it on the trail that's on me. If it comes that way it kinda sucks.

    Southern Style Offroad Bumper Experience

    I just wanted to share my SSO slimline bumper experience with others who may be contemplating getting a new bumper. I went with SSO for my 2018 Pro based on some reviews and youtube videos, plus I like the appearance. I was deciding between SSO and C4. I ordered a slimline hybrid with Baja light...

    How much are people paying for the NEW 4Runner?

    For Orange County, CA consider using SMG auto broker, ask for Clyde. They charge about 500 but can save you thousands. On my last 2 vehicles I estimated they saved me at least 3000 on each one. I tried on my own and they were always able to get a better deal than I could. He got an impossible...

    Mounting Yakima crossbars on Gobi rack

    Malone makes some decent aero cross bar and rail attachments that fit the standard roof rails and look like they would fit the Gobi rack no problem. I had them on before the Gobi and they are pretty sold and only cost about 120 or so. I don't think it would be a problem to put them on the Gobi...

    Gobi Rack - Advantage and disadvantages

    Order placed Aug 13, 2018, credit card charged Jan 24, 2019, Rack delivered Feb 1, 2019. So 5 1/2 months. Longer than expected but a very nice rack and well built. I didn't want to drill the front otherwise I would have went with Frontrunner. Initial impressions: Really sold and sturdy. I can...

    Gobi Rack - Advantage and disadvantages

    I just installed my Gobi Stealth No Rise. Overall it looks and feels great. I believe the brackets are not designed that well. The OEM roof rail brackets are covered by a plastic housing so there is really no way for water to get in. The "sandwich" brackets for the Gobi leave a gap inside that...

    Battery removal/installation question..

    I have disconnected my 2018 TRDP battery multiple times to install by dual battery system and Blue Sea fuse blocks. I didn't have any problems other than the engine turning off the first time you restart. I am not sure why it does that but it doesn't bother me anymore since I'm used to it. I am...
