What did you use to mount the bag in place?

It's not mounted. It's just sitting there. Doesn't move or anything. It's loaded down with a lot of gear and fits in that indent perfectly! I got the bag for free from a friend of mine, but I have seen them on Instagram before (without the logos on it). If I find the info for the bag I'll let ya know. Would be nice to have another for the other side. I have a lot of small gear in that bag. Here's a list of what's in it. It's like 12" long by 6" wide and holds all of this:
Tire repair kit, ARB tire deflator, (2) 3/4 shackles, 2 dragline Offroad synthetic shackles, leather work gloves, 5-10ft of paracord, 1 small bungee, SOG pocket knife, (2) tire pressure gauges, (1) 1/2 bolt with washers and nut (for the lower link), and (1) OEM Toyota bolt and nut for lower link and I think that's it lol

Ya let me know for sure where I could get one, it holds exactly what I need it to lol. I have a lot of small gear like that that I need to stow away a bit better. I have it sitting neatly in my long storage compartment behind the back seats at the moment lol.

Thanks! I've had them Offroad a few times now. Did a decent hill climb in soft Sandy dirt with ruts, they performed well. Did some light mud and they cleaned out well. Did some very very light snow. Like 2-3 inches. They cleaned out very well and felt grippy. The on road noise is kinda more than what I thought it would be but its not horrible like a mud terrain. The on road wet grip is pretty good. They are a stiff tire though with them being a load range E. They had 40psi in them and I dropped it down to 35 and now it's a bit smoother. I've done a lot of 2wd (with traction control turned off 100%) off-roading with them. They had good grip. Even did some small hill climbing on hard pack dirt hill with them and no slipping. All in all I like them so far besides the little bit of noise and roughness. But it's not enough to keep me from not buying them again.

Been a while since I last posted on my build thread. Haven't really done much to the 4R since my last post. Took a few cool photos of the 4R, picked up the new Bajarack, and today I removed the stock rack and satellite antenna then dropped off the 4R at the wrap shop to get the roof wrapped. Should have it back tomorrow and then the Bajarack will be going on.
Parked next to a stock SR5. Big difference with the 2" lift and 285s!
New Bajarack full length standard basket

Picked Falkor up from Vigg Designs in Freehold, NJ today. The satin black roof wrap turned out amazing! Then I went and installed the Bajarack full length basket (no sunroof cutout). It turned out pretty good as well. Now it's time to focus on small mods and enjoy the nice weather by camping a lot lol.

Went to the local Toyota dealership, Liberty Toyota here in Burlington, NJ, and picked up the TRD cold air intake I ordered last week. Swung by Pep Boys on the way home to grab some supplies for the install and came across some 3175 COB LED lights made by Pilot. Cost was $10 each. I was feeling skeptical of their brightness but after installing them, in the back door, with ease and after seeing them in the dark, I LOVE them! Definitely pick up these if you want bright LEDs for the back door! They come in two different colors, white and bluish white. These are the white 6500k. After installing them, I got busy installing the TRD CAI. Pretty simple and straight forward install. The sound is amazing and my butt feels some slight power increase hahaha. Here's the photos of everything. Oh and Falkor hit 10,000 miles today!
