[NoOneBetter]

The Expedition Overland team has finally shared some details about their 4Runner builds.

Why Bushwhacker seems to refuse to make fender flares for the 5th gen is still beyond me.

 

[LandCruiser]

Shut up.

Take my money.

It looks like they made them for these two trucks. Why not make more?

I think they were repurposed, if you look when they go around the vehicle they don't seem to follow the body lines all that great. But some slim line flairs would be great. I've emailed them a few times, as they're here in Portland, and all I get is crickets chirping in response.

I see they are having it done by Dark Horse. They're good guys. Their shop is right next to my Dad's metal fab shop.

Those drawers.. oh those drawers! Lookin forward to the new season.

 

[BeachRunnerSD]

Holy shit, these guys know how to do it.

bushwacker will be making the flares, they commented on a post on expedition portal this week. release date is tentative still.

Someone threw out August timeframe on Facebook. :reddance:

to be honest, the drawer system was ok. i have seen much better/well thought out/functional drawer builds on expo. oh well, still sick rigs and i'm stoked for their new season!

That got me so stoked to get my runner.

Yeah I'm the one who threw it on Facebook but Bushwhacker did email saying they will be releasing these fenders in August once price and fitment are spot on.

Part of me wonders if I could drive over there and have them install them. Probably not but worth a try.

Honestly,

I love the show and the rigs but I don't see anything special in modding of these trucks. It doesn't look like money is an issue to these guys and given that criteria most of us would go install the best set up at the best shops....done! Nonetheless excited to see the new series.

This is how you mod a vehicle. Determine WHAT you need first, then figure out how to make it happen. Nothing extra.

In this case it's determine who will sponsor you first. Then the install free parts and stickers.

No.

1. I need a good vehicle, drawer, suspension, refrigerator, bumper, etc.
2. Find a quality manufacturer of above and get them to give it to me free.
3. Find a quality installer to do the work.
3. Install stickers.

Determine the needs before modding was my point.

I would agree with what everyone else is saying. They initially had a few sponsors and did much small trips to build up a following it was only after they invested a lot of time and their own money were the honored/gifted with two brand new trail premiums fully kitted out. With the vehicle and all the extras you are looking around $80k+?!?!

and yes excited to see the new series as well!
