MAD 4Runner Build Thread

[MAD 4Runner]

So I'm pretty excited and figured I'd start this thread even though I don't even have the 4Runner yet. Just got this picture from the dealer though and should hopefully take delivery today.

I did however order OPOR Sliders today!

First pic

Here is a picture of me and the T4R the day I got it! Hopefully the sliders will be in this week and the roof rack in next week.

Installed! Ordered them last week. They got delivered yesterday. Found a place to get them powder coated and they were ready for me at 1:00 pm today. Not bad for a less than 24 hour turn around.

Don't know if I just missed it somewhere, but what roof rack did you go with?

That's the stock rack on a TE.

He said he was expecting a roof rack next week, that's the one I am referring to.

I have a BajaRack on the way. I went with the flat rack with the bars and had an insert made for the sunroof. I used to have a FJ with a Gobi rack and loved the rack for the most part. The only real issue was the I didn't always want the spacing of the cross supports on the second level. some times I wanted to put things the long way but because of the supports the way they were it mean that the item would be on the supports and not on the mesh bottom. I also don't really like how fart the ladder sticks out on the T4R so that was just one less thing I needed. Don't get me wrong thought I love Gobi racks. Loved that it was prewired for lights and what not. The BajaRack should be here Friday or Monday and I'll let you know my thoughts.

What racks are you looking at?
