Hi mate, I get around 500k's around the city and 650 on the highway

Thanks for all the comments. I am very happy with it :biggrin2:

My first attempt at some flex pics. The shocks were still on their hardest setting so there should be more in it

I thought I'd post up my exhaust. It's a 2.5 inch system with a Herrod Motorsport Muffler.

It's been a while since I've posted on here and Ive done a fair bit of work on the 4Runner.

Some pics and details below



I fitted a Dual Battery System. And used the airbox from a Surf to make room for the second battery.



Charge System



Power outlet with USB



I had to do a bit of work to raise the height of the cage to fit in the fridge as I bought it from EBay and was told the wrong model number



Fridge in dropped position on the drop down slide



All packed away. I have also fitted drawers in the back.

Just some pics from some trips I've done lately, complete with IFS wheel lift

Very nice truck, wish we had the diesel here.
Some questions for you
- what model CB is that? I like the small profile
- what is the bracket you have mounted by the trailer ball? Been towing for 30+ years, never saw something like that.
- why center mount the fridge? Seems like offsetting it would again room for other big items.

Drawer unit is nice

Looks like a GME TX3420, but it won't work for us in the USA. They use the UHF (476-477Mhz) band for their cb band, we use 11 meters (26-27mhz), which is HF.

Hi mate.

The CB is a GME.

The bracket is a recovery point that fits into the towbar. You can them put a shackle through it to attach a snatch strap

I off set the fridge as my drawers system has lids that I can remove for more storage in the space on either side of the drawers. I can also the access the factory storage compartments on each side as well. It may look like it takes up more space, but having it there allows me more storage areas that can't be seen in the photos. :thumb3:

Here's a link to the recovery hitch http://www.bushranger.com.au/recovery_hitch.php#.VkUZ-ISlj21

Here's a link to the recovery hitch Recovery Hitch - Bushranger

pics aren't showing up right now for some reason.
Waasn't referring to the recovery point, it looked like you had an "H" looking type thing bolted through the hitch ball

Did you click on the link to see the recovery hitch?

I'm not sure what you mean then as the only thing that's in the towbar hitch is the recovery point with the shackle removed.

He's talking about this photo:

The big "H" bracket around the ball itself.
