After reading through your whole build thread I can't wait to start on mine. I just traded in my 2010 Raptor for a silver trail and have been considering a very similar build lol. You have an amazing looking rig, I'm definitely jealous

Thanks pmharris! Congrats on the new ride and welcome to the 4Runner side; looks like we both have similar tastes...lol. Will be looking foward to seeing how your build turns out too!

So how do you like the night stacker light bar? Looking at redoing my lighting.

Well, I still have to finish the wiring for the new light bar so haven't tried them out yet. Supposedly very comparable to the Rigid LED Light Bar (except the Night Stalkers have slightly more wattage and more lumens over the Rigids). I have no doubt the Rigid is better made but the Night Stalker looks well built too with die-cast aluminum casing and polycarbonate lens, so we'll see how it holds up and performs. The biggest draw for me was that you can't get a 40-inch curved combination light bar from Rigid right now (they just rolled out their 30-inch curved bar) and the smaller Rigid is only a spot light at double the cost. I'll be posting pics of the lights at night once all hooked up.

This thing is impressive. I'm a fan, dude. Super clean build. Definitely a little jealous.

Thanks G8RB8! I was hoping to keep it clean looking despite the mods. Now that the mods are done, I have to make it dirty looking for real...lol.

My brother did this graphic years ago when I lifted my Tahoe, but now I want to update it with my 4Runner wheels and maybe make a graphic to replace the Gobi graphic on the roof rack?

 

[Desert Dawg]

Family duo...lol

 

[Desert Dawg]

Does sort of look like what Batman and Robin would drive if they had 4Runners...lol.

 

[Desert Dawg]

Don't know why, but really like this shot. Almost looks like it wants to come out of the picture...lol.

Wow that thing looks great!

Thanks Jonsie! It almost doesn't even look like the same vehicle when compared to before...lol.

Well, this isn't really a mod but I just paid attention to the indents inside the rear cargo area and realized that they are probably for a rear cargo cover. So went down to the Toyota dealer where I purchased my Trail from and told my salesman I wanted the cover; he walked over to Parts Department and told them to sell it to me at cost. Woohoo....lol.

What kind of seat covers do you have?
