Howdy all, Been awhile since I've been on here. Couple of questions for you guys. So I started off on here when the 5th gen had just released. I've been able to contribute a bit with a few DIY threads so I'm looking for some help! Done some searching but can't seem to gather the info I'm...

Glad it was helpful! So not I'm several years into using this rack and to date it still works great. No issues whatsoever. And my 4Runner is outside in the elements all the time. No rust spot whatsoever. I've enjoyed it thoroughly!

I checked my photobucket account...everything seems good and the pics still come up according to several people. I don't use photobucket anymore since they threw in tons of advertising and require you to pay now. :(

Thanks all. I will be calling them to see if they will cover the new ball joints. but I'm not expecting anything great.

HI all, I know there are multiple threads on this but are the new updated ball joints sold over at wheelers off road worth replacing with? I noticed my tires started wearing on the insides. Thinking my camber was off, I had a shop put it in the air to find out there was about an inch of play...

Sorry been away for awhile. I'll snap a few pics today. Update: pics snapped

Thanks! Yeah the only time consuming part is thoroughly cleaning out the troughs and waterproofing. Easy but time consuming to do it the correct way. **To date I have not had a leak....and the 4runner sits outside all the time. We've had some serious rain here on the coast over the past 6...

Yakima Rocket Box One other quick note: if you are wanting to use a Yakima Rocketbox 21 like mine, the box sticks out past the end of the front of the rack due to the placement of the permanent cross bars. The top front bar that rises up lifts the front end of the Rocketbox up pretty high. I...

To be honest, I wish I had done removeable cross bars. Love the idea of being able to adjust them forward and backward.

DesertCanyons I def have the Stealth rack. I wanted low profile. See jicko above. I moved the top ladder playe around in every possible way and couldnt quite get it to line up with the contour of the roof. Its only off by 1/4" so no big deal to me....but it was off. In order to get it to...

More Pics Faring/Wind Deflector Install: I almost forgot. I've seen a lot of comments mentioning that the faring/wind deflector rubber seal on the bottom will collect dirt/debris and cause scatching on the roof. I believe it as my old faring on another vehicle did the same thing. Rather than...

I know this has been mentioned in several threads but I figured I would do a more detailed write-up/information for those that have never ventured down that path. **NOTE: This is not so much of a detailed write-up how to but more of a heads up kind of thread to prepare you for the install. The...

Plastidipped a few items. Not sure how I feel about it yet.
