But wait there is more.... use code thanks2013 and get an extra 10% off

out the door price $1,345.50

So I bring this up to find out what accessories everyone recommends and so that others could get in on it.

From this thread
http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/101910-gobi-ladder-stronger-gas-spring.html It sounds like the gas springs would be the way to go to get everything that you need. I also like the sun roof insert however just want to get everything I need to get started.

Looks like SOcalTRAIL did the research and found an alternative to the Gobi gas springs. I think I will get the sun roof insert if the hatch struts can be replaced for around $50 when they blow.

~~~Upgraded Rear Hatch Struts / Gas Springs~~~

As many of you have also experienced, my rear hatch gas struts blew out a month or so ago. I spent the last few weeks searching for a replacement solution that would offer more lift to accommodation the Gobi Ladder and be as close of a direct "snap on" replacement as possible.

Well.... I FOUND IT!!!!!

After ordering 3 different pairs of struts with no luck, I came upon LiftSupportsDepot.com One of the very helpful employees invited me to stop by so we could try out a few different struts and see which one worked.

Those with the Gobi Ladder, here is what you want:

Lift Supports

When you order, you must put in the comments section the following: "Convert to 10mm straight ends"

Part#49124 244LB Force 22.7" Extended 15.45" Collapsed



Other than that, they give the hatch the perfect amount of lift, they are an easy upgrade or replacement of yours are already blown, and best of all, thy are DIRT CHEAP!!!! How does $17 / each sound!

Anywho. Thought I would share, I am happy to have my hatch back up and functional again, I got tired of resting it on my head as I grab my crap out of the back. :boxer:

Cheers!

Yeah, me too, I got a good price from Trail Duty using a $100 off coupon from their facebook page, but I am going on two months and still no tracking number. Hopefully soon...

I think $1345 out the door with an attachment & ladder is a fantastic deal.

Many people have expressed concerns over Gobi's wait time. I believe they are a small business so there will be long wait times since these aren't mass produced. Take a look at one of the past group buys and see how long they waited...

On another note, other members seem to be happy with Drabbits roof racks. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/152757-fs-5th-gen-full-length-roof-racks-drabbits.html

Just throwing that out there. Choices and competition are always good for the end consumer.
