LOve it dude good call on the bumper, I live in Houston and couldnt even get the guts to go with Shrockworks bc of the price. Like the way it sits too cough cough @Ripcord ... I run mine at about the same height front and back as well...took me a good month before it broke in nice...where did you order your clear corners from?

Rigid LED

Been so long since I have posted here and I honestly have not done much since to my 4runner. I wanted to post a few pictures of my 20" Rigid LED Lightbar that has been on for almost a year now lol. I also installed 3 10" Alpine Type R's with a Rockford Fosgate 2000 watt amp for the subs. Anyways here are some pictures. Hope ya like it! Next I plan to install a hi-lift jack and some red d-ring shackles.

What are your guys thoughts? Should I install the hi-lift jack to the tubing on the front bumper or in the cargo area in the back where the d-rings currently are?

Hi Lift Jack and Mounts

So I finally got my Hi Lift jack and got my mounts from PATCO on the forum. Stand up guy and these mounts fit PERFECT if you want a super clean way to mount the jack and be able to remove it easily as well. You simply just remove the d-rings in the back and replace them with these. Here are a few pictures. Next Im going to mount the shovel to the side. eace:

Rocker Switch and D-Rings

So I finally got my red D-Rings today for my front bumper, along with my hi lift handle holder and I FINALLY got my rocker switch to work for my Rigid Industries light bar. Pictures are kind of bad because it is snowing today but here they are.

sleeping area platform

So I am going to a few music festivals soon that I will be camping for 3 days. I decided for my project today, I would build a rear cargo area sleeping platform. I started with two sheets of 4x4 3/4" plywood, and 2x2 for the legs. I used hanger bolts so I could easily remove the legs and store this flat whenever I wanted. I also made it two pieces so as you can see in the pictures, With the rear part in I can still have my rear seats up. If i want the full sleeping area, just fold the seats down, and bam. Painted it with some cheap black spray paint and got a couple perfect sized air mattresses, and what do you know, BOOM! Perfect. The rear legs are all 10" long, the rear on the front platform are 10" long as well and the front legs that go to the floor are 17" long. Very easy project and cost me about $100. Lets go camping!

Very nice rig! I like the direction you've gone, and that Lightbar on the ODL bumper is pretty sweet! Love the pictures, especially the scenery...

That sleeping platform sure is quick and simple, I like the concept, pretty neat!

Keep it up, Grant!

Sleeping Platform

OK, so after I used this sleeping platform once (although it worked perfect), I decided it needed some major upgrades and re did the whole entire thing. I will take better pictures later but here is the now PERFECT sleeping platform and cargo box! The front piece is hinged and folds in half and can be removied in minutes.

Here are a few pictures of my 4runner lately. Plasti dipped a lot of stuff. some of the picture are a little old still.

SOOOO BORED at work so I snapped a few shots of just what she looks like today. My next plans are to get the Toytec Superflex Coils and the Bilstein 5100 LT shocks in the rear. It is starting to sag a bunch with my subs and cargo box in the rear. I also got another Optima battery so my next project will be a Painless Performance Dual Battery Wiring Kit and a Ruff Stuff Dual Optima battery tray. Should be some fun mods soon! Hope you like!

do you happen to have any build specs or plans you can share?
how does the front portion of your sleep platform hinge, and how does it attach securely to the cargo storage drawer portion?

I don't have exact measurements cuz I am at work but I def. can get those very soon. Here are a few more pictures and an explanation of how i mounted the front piece.

Sleeping Platform

I have been getting a lot of questions, so in the few days I will take legit pictures and take measurements of everything and actually make a seperate thread specifically for this sleeping platform and cargo box!

Mammoth

So did you permanently move to Mammoth?

I sure did! You would not believe how awesome and beautiful the summer is here! I can literally go anywhere I want on a trail literally all day long. I have never gone wheeling as much as I ever have before and the trails are awesome!
