Summer Update
It's been a busy summer for me and the 4Runner and lots of changes have been made! First off, I was able to install the 43" led light bar on front of the roof rack.

I opted for a Shrockworks rear bumper/tire carrier and it has been an excellent choice so far. Prior to installing the rear bumper, I upgraded the rear springs to a set of Toytec Superflex HD's and also added their bumpstop extenders.

VTX wheels was kind enough to loan me a set of their Rogue wheels and Toyo RT tires for my trip to Moab and FJ Summit! I love the setup so far.

I've also incorporated a rooftop tent in to my build sold by Freespirit Recreation.

The rear cargo area of my vehicle now has a 2 drawer setup with a sliding tray made by a local woodworker and I have also installed the MSP storage system by Ragofabrication on my back windows.

My good friend Myron Hensel also did a walk around video of my vehicle earlier in July. Here's a more in depth look at my 4Runner.

In the next couple of weeks, I'll be switching from the Baja roof rack to a full Frontrunner Outfitters rack. Stay tuned for more updates and photos!
