Congrats Josh! Now get to work on my rack. Totally Kidding!!! Enjoy your new baby boy. Hope everyone is healthy.

Well Whitson Metalworks most are telling me to wait for your rack and I am feeling they are correct. I guess I will just have to get a trailer until you can build me one. It's nice to know I can add the gobi ladder as I really like that feature. Maybe I can have you figure one out as well...

I have looked over this site and researched online regarding roof racks and noticed a wide variety and opinions. My hope was to order one from Josh Whitson Metalworks as he seems to have the best quality for the price, but he has a long lead time and soon will only be busier yet with an...

Just responed to your battery thread. They are the same problem. #1. Replace your battery and this will go away. I just had this happen to me. I replaced my battery and its gone. Every time I started my 4runner the rear wiper would make one swipe. I searched on here to see if this happened to...

Replace your battery and this will go away. I just had this happen to me. I replaced my battery and its gone. Every time I started my 4runner the rear wiper would make one swipe. I searched on here to see if this happened to anyone else and it has. When your battery gets a low charge for some...

Saw this thread a couple weeks ago and thought I would share this. Right now in MN we are getting some cold weather. This early morning it was about -30 degrees F without the wind. My temp gauge stopped at -22 degrees on my way to work. Think it just gave up and froze, I wish I could of, Brrrrr...

Thanks! The plastic trim along the outside of the drivers floor just pops off. Under it is a bundle of wires that I just ran along side of it zip tying it to the bundle. Then once you get to the back cargo area I tucked it under the side plastic panels. I diddnt want to take the entire panel off...

Here is how I ended up with my lights. Needless to say I am very happy with everything. Should of posted sooner, but been real busy. Huge thank you to macoyle of Bean LED Industries. He hooked me up with the two 6" LED flood lights for this project. One light would of been plenty, but I like...

OK, thanks again! Gonna run to autozone and see what I can find. HUGE HELP!

I cant thank you enough for dealing with my ignorance and helping me wiring this correctly jwyshrek . One more favor, If I purchase the below items will these be correct in there ratings and misc? OTRATTW Amazon.com: Parts Express 12 VDC Waterproof Relay SPDT 30/40A with Metal Bracket: Car...

I have not started this as I have been searching out the correcrt parts I need. This seems like an easier way to wire everything than the previous 2 sketches I had. Just to clarify though and pardon my ignorance, the way you have it shown will have the flood lights always come on when in reverse...

Ok, I didnt know if there would be any gain to install it in the back or having a larger gauge power wire. (ex. future lights or hookups).

Ok, here are the two options that everyone has came up with. Sounds like both will work just fine, just a matter of preference. Let me throw another loop into this discussion. If I were to decide to run majority of this to the back, besides the switch, do you feel I would just need to increase...

By the way, thank you all for your help and being patient with a electrical novice.

I had a spdt switch initially. Then I was told that I needed a double pole double throw switch instead as the spdt switch was wrong. So I changed it out to the dpdt. The first drawing shows, what I believe, is what you gshadow325 are telling me to do. The second drawing shows what others on here...
