    Vinyl Wrap

    I have been looking into DIY vinyl wrapping my 5th gen. I ordered some small pieces to do some test runs and it seems simple enough. Has anyone tried this before? Am I signing myself up for a nightmare?

    DIY 4Runner window storage out of metal mesh

    Really nice work man. I went lazy on this one and just used victory4x4's pre-made ones. As gimmicky of an idea as it seams i personally use the crap out of them, keeps all my essentials I want in the truck but leaves floor space for the groceries.

    question about 5th gen bumpers

    I'm on the market for a good bumper for a 2011. Options seem very limited. I know that the front end design changed after the 2013s, but why aren't 14+ bumpers compatible with 10-13's? is it bolt hole alignment? or is just a case of the bumper cover cuts no lining up and light placement...

    Finally getting to work on the yota

    I got my 4runner back in 2015 with every intention of building it out... However I got my wife pregnant shortly after and the 4runner was quickly claimed as he primary baby carting machine for obvious reasons.

    Steering wheel shake at 50 - 60 MPH.

    At that speed its almost always a balance issue. Depending on the order in which you got new tires and balanced them and got your lift if could have changed how you sit on your tires even if you got it aligned. I'd see if you can find a place that will check your balance and not just...

    What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

    Had some ******* in a dodge drag his trailer across my passenger side mirror. he also scratched up the bumper cover pretty deep. He's asked if we can work out a cash agreement rather then use insurance... I might take this as a sign and take some cash to go ahead and swap out the OEM bumper...

    Roof Rack Question

    It's going to hang over the edges some but weight wise you are good to go. I can't remember the exact dynamic weight limit on factory rails/cross bars but its higher than the weight of the boat (but not by much from what i remember). just make sure the boat is positioned where its balanced and...

    Is a roof rack necessary for a rooftop tent?

    You might need to look into weight limits on your factory rails before you consider sleeping on them. I'm not familiar with 09, but i know on my 11 the factory rails are really only designed to handle the weight of one person even when you aren't moving. I went with Rhinoracks pioneer platform...
