What a great build!!! You've got excellent taste man!

I picked up my MGM TEP on Wednesday before thanksgiving and it got rear ended on the Friday after [emoji53]

The other driver's insurance is taking care of the damage but I'm bummed about riding around in a Chevy Equinox while my baby gets fixed.

Thanks again for the inspiration!

The only thing I really had to do was install a lock on the top and mount it to my rack The dimensions are roughly 3.5" tall x 38" wide x 16" deep.

Awesome build man!

I was wondering, what lock did you use and have you had any leaks? I just got my box from ATB today...very excited to install a lock and mount it up top.

Thanks! I ended up going with something like this....

Have yet to have any leaks, still seals great. I just drilled 4 holes in the bottom and bolted it to the gobi rack. Lining it up with mesh on the rack was the only challenging part.
 
Are no wheel spacers needed for the extended travel Icons and UCA's with the TE wheels? There were a couple of UCA's I was looking into that mention that they require no more than 4.5 inches of backspacing, and I believe the TE wheels have 4.84. If you have no spacers, what has been your experience thus far?

No spacers were needed in my case. The billet UCAs are close, but they don't rub. I actually bought spacers, but never had to use them. No issues at all.
 
Few updates...

Almost done with OEM Audio install...

And these were just delivered to my office. If only I could find some Ray 10s.

I finished up my installation of the OEM Audio + audio system for the 4Runner this weekend. All in all I did it over about 8 hours, spread out over two Saturdays. It can definitely be done much faster, but the kiddos and wife tend to slow things down a bit. I also put down some sound proofing on the outer skins of the door, lift gate, and cargo area. I plan to do the floor panels of the front and back passenger areas at some point, but time did not permit. I debated on doing the entire vehicle, but lost motivation quickly when I read the time involved in doing so by other users on this forum.

Anyhow, as others have stated, a definite improvement in overall sound quality. I can't wait to see how things will sound once the 6X9s ship. I took some pictures along the way, but nothing that you will not find in the install video, which is great by the way.

Great build. Nice to see you got OEM Audio installed. I live in the Katy area as well. I would love to get a chance to listen to the kit if possible. I've only had my 4R about 5 months, mods are coming slowly.

Anytime. Just PM me if you ever want a listen.

Installed the Rago Modular Storage Panels the other night. Fit and finish are great and their customer service is second to none. They are super responsive and an absolute pleasure to deal with.

Finally, after years of procrastination, decided on a bumper. Ordered the new CBI 2014+ Aluminum center hoop bumper this morning. On paper it checks almost all of my boxes, but we shall see in 8 weeks...

This is one they recently installed on the Rock Creek Overland 4Runner...

Finally had a chance to have my Ridge Grapplers and new SCS Matte Gray Ray10s mounted. Harvey delayed everything a couple weeks, but things are slowly returning to normal. So far I am loving the Nittos - my Duratracs had become so noisy that I could barely hear my wife or kiddos while driving (which isn't always a bad thing, I suppose). Anyhow, I will be posting my old trail wheels and a brand new Duratrac spare for free to a good home in the classified section if anyone has any interest.

Definitely clean build! Do you think its worth the price tag for OEM audio package? And what did you go with for head unit for your T4R?

The head unit is still stock. For me the OEM package was worth the price tag. Definite improvement over stock. I am sure you piece together something for cheaper, but I don't have the patience or expertise for that.
