Will do. Not sure yet if keeping or selling, but I’ll hit you back when I decide. Will probably be next month if I do sell. Chris

That would be awesome if you don’t mind, and you are not too far away. I’ll have to check, but I assume it will be the same skid for my 06 v8. I’ll check tonight. Thanks

Thank you for the reply. Skid looks nice. What’s the weight? I already have a 3/16” stainless steel skid I’m taking off to reduce weight for towing a trailer. I need something light just so I don’t leave my fuel tank exposed. When I intend to do some serious wheeling, I can always put my...

Hi all, I am looking for a stock or light aluminum fuel tank skid for my 06 v8 Sport. I have a full set of BudBuilt stainless steel skids now and will continue to use the front two, saved my butt more than a few times. I’m cutting weight where I can to pull a trailer. SS skid protecting fuel...

Hello all. It’s been a few years since I’ve been around, so hello to old friends and new. To my question, I need to refinish my bumpers, sliders and roof rack. The old runner is showing her age, but then again so am I. I would like to refinish everything in a textured black powder coat. My...

The one Blair is using in his 4th Gen is from the FJ. It fits great. Maybe he will post up a couple of pictures of it in his truck if there is any demand for them. Or, you go check out his write up here... Raingler Barrier Net

There are as many answers as possible scenarios, equipment carried, experience, your rig Vs. what you are trying to recover, etc. Of course you probably already know that. Here is a good place to start with your education. Plenty of free articles as well as books and DVD's you could buy if...

Sounds like you will be fine without. I've done some pretty crazy trails and conditions using just the stock limited slip. If you find later you need it for the trails you run, or the weather you run them in, then maybe just doing the rear locker will be enough. Happy trails!

Happy to answer any questions I can. If it helps, considering your location and situation...don't hesitate to send me a PM with anything specific you need and I can do a little extra research for you and send you the details. Its the least I can do...thanks for serving! :cheers:

+2 for the Raingler cargo/pet net. Dual purpose, strong, looks great. Made me order one for myself when I saw Blair's.

Above reply's are good additions. I'd go with the Total Chaos UCA, and considering the weight you're referring to with mods and gear, email Deaver Suspension and tell them what you are planning to do with your truck, what weight your adding, etc. Have them build you a custom set of dual rate...

Mysticz is right of course. What do you plan on doing with your 4Runner? I have ARB lockers front and rear, the large capacity ARB compressor and I've also re-geared front and rear at the same time. Depending on your intended use, it could be invaluable, or money best spent elsewhere. As far...

Here are a few pics. You can see that they fit the 4th gen nice and snug to the body, but there is room to step on them.

The factory tube steps are just that, steps. Take them off if you are going to off road it. They won't help at all off road. I have the Shrockworks sliders and prefer the way they fit and they are relatively easy to install since they are bolt on. They are extremely strong. As for a step...

Interesting topic. OK, my opinion. This forum has a wider interest base then some others I belong to. In that I mean that you can find some hard core off-roaders, those that use their runner to access remote areas for camping, fishing or hunting, mostly using improved dirt roads. There is...
