How do the Plano boxes do up there? Have you taken long trips with them up top? Trying to decide between a Plano/pelican option or just go for a Yakima/Thule cargo box for an (almost) cross country two week road trip. Any thoughts?

That looks pretty damn good! I'm trying to figure out what to do about roof top cargo on our move to colorado from PA. I have a gobi stealth roof rack and cant dedide if I should do a thinner Yakima/Thule option pushed to the side with some extra stuff on the other side or just get a few Plano...

Thanks for the info. I think the setup your running now may be best for me. What size Skybox do you rub? Does it interfere with the ladder/hatch at all?

Thanks for following up on this. I am indeed a young blonde girl, I traded in my Barbie Jeep for this 4Runner so I will do just that! Haha! No but really I appreciate it and will reach out to another dealership this week. The one I bought from has been a pain to deal with since I took the car...

First new and under warranty vehicle I've ever owned happens to be the first 4x4 as well.

Thanks Moss, was thinking about going to a spot like that at first before I remembered I now own a car under warranty. Still no dice though. Haven't driven much this week but will probably attempt to change the rear myself this weekend.

I keep looking back at that tall cactus photo, it's great. I could see it In the pages of an anthropologie catalog or on the wall of some chic LA home goods store. Clean and minimal :roll:

Same to you! Detroit is the urban decay meca yeah? Went once for Movement but didn't get too far from Hart Plaza. There's a great ski video where they build out jumps through some of the abandoned spots, really cool shots there. Hope to see you out on a trail one day!

One more question here! After going through a good bit of water, the only oil I should change would be the rear differential, is that correct? Do I need to worry about the Front Diff or the Transfer case? I'm reading that the other breathers are raised high enough and the rear is the main...

Rig is looking stellar, a little inspiration for Me and my blank slate of a T4R. Can you tell me what led to your decision to go with the Skybox over cargo boxes or any other option? I'm moving out to Colorado with the fiancé and dog and the 4Runner is our vehicle. We're driving down through...

I'm relatively new to the 4Runner/overland world but have had a camera in hand since I was about 7. Part of my excitement over the new purchase of a T4R and upcoming move to Colorado is a whole new world of photography opportunities. Had about enough of the urban decay here in Philly. Here's one...

Yeah I'll have to just change it out to play it safe I suppose. Thanks for the tip on the breather mod I've copied and pasted into my notes for it. I usually air on the side of caution so I'll just get it changed, whether it's at a shop or at home, that all depends on what tomorrow has in...

Noob here trying to revive this thread for a little help. I took my stock 5th gen TRD through some 1-2' deep but fairly short puddles today. This was not a smart idea I'm aware but I did it and I'm hoping for a little clarification. I was in and out of each puddle/hole in a matter of a couple...

This is music to my ears. I'm not in a huge rush or need to get it done soon I just want it done right when I decide to go for it. I see you're out in Durango. I'm moving to Denver in late October maybe we'll cross paths! I'm pre-novice in this world but have been stuck in the middle of...

They look great! I plan to grab some after my big move westward. Was it a fairy simple install? Also did you get blackout emblem covers or were they already black?
