Same thing happened to me with my across the street neighbour last year. I was headed out for a ride with my bike on the North Shore rack. I ended up showing him how you can tilt the whole rack c/w bike(s) on it to access the rear hatch. A week later he had one installed on his vehicle... haha. :)

Dug up some photos of the North Shore rack on the 4Runner... One thing with this style of rack is that the bikes stick out the same amount, whether you have 1 bike on there or 4. When folded up, it's tall enough that you can see the "uprights" out the back window, to judge how far away you...

I am also running a North Shore Rack NSR 4-Bike rack for both our 4Runner and our Delica. Love this rack, including the fact that it can fold down with bikes attached. Easy and quick to load the bikes also. I highly recommend it! I'll have to dig up some photos of it mounted on the 4Runner...

You can add me to the list. Had the '05 Limited 4Runner go in for brake servicing at a local repair shop a few weeks back...sure enough on of the fronts was frozen at 200,000km. Had both front calipers replaced as a precaution. The 4Runner didn't pull one way or the other during braking prior...

Here are a few recent shots that I put up on Flickr The sunset from my front door in early January. These images, besides the cropping and stamp are straight out of the camera. It was quite the sight to see! <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/trialsmaster2/12493642845/"...

I wonder how the gauge pod out of an L300 Mitsubishi Delica would work/look in a 4Runner? Might be a bit tricky to mount it and make it look nice. Anyways, they came in 3-pod and 2-pod versions (I included a picture of the 3 pod one in our Delica). I believe that the 2-pod version has just...

Hahaha, no the Mitsubishi Delica was something we never got in North America. The closest thing was the 2 wheel drive gas powered ones. I had mine imported from Japan, back in the fall of 2008, as soon as it turned 15 years old. According to what I have found on the internet (it's written on...

Funny you should mention that. On the Delica forum that I frequent, there has been a small trickle of new members from the USA in recent months. As some of those Delicas have reached the 25 year old mark, there have been a few imported down there...at least one of which appears to be in...

Besides the 4Runner, here are the other two in the driveway: 1987 Toyota Celica GT-Four (ST165) 2 liter (3SGTE), factory turbo charged, all wheel drive, 5 speed, center locking diff 1993 Mitsubishi Delica Starwagon (L300) 2.5 liter turbo diesel (4D56), 4X4, auto, high roof, 7-passenger

Besides the 4Runner, here are the other two in the driveway: 1987 Toyota Celica GT-Four (ST165) 2 liter (3SGTE), factory turbo charged, all wheel drive, 5 speed, center locking diff Japanese import, so the steering wheel is on the "other side" I have had this one for over 10 years now. Mods...

Welcome, from another Okanagan member up in Vernon :)

Great rig and great photos! I think that's along the lines of what my '05 4Runner wants to look like when it grows up :)

Here are a few photos from some recent off road trips we took. Nothing too extreme, just some forestry roads that are local to us. Family photo...soon to be +1 (the reason we got the 4Runner to start with!)

First of all, thanks to all on this wonderful forum for educating me on 4Runners over the last several weeks/months. I'm pleased to say that my wife and I picked up a 2005 Toyota 4Runner Limited last weekend. Not even 48 hours into ownership, I had plasti-dipped all of the emblems (they were...

We picked our 2005 4Runner Limited this past Saturday and love it! Already plasti-dipped the emblems, since this particular one had nasty gold ones on it. Anywho, I took it out for a quick photo session a couple of hours ago. I'll post more pics once I find a more interesting place for...
