The rack itself tilts in toward the seat, pinching the headrest so it doesn't move, but

Looks well made. My comment was probably a little "direct". I didn't mean it harshly, just wouldn't make a bunch because of the cheap alternatives out there that are also easy to unclip and take with you. Fabric for that location probably makes more sense just due to low cost and flexibility.

Where I think there's potential for a rigid molle type panel not currently on the market is the inside of the driver's side rear door. Basically covering the window area. For people who actually go live in these things - they're usually only themselves or +1 passenger. Having a rack on the inside of the passenger door would be an ideal spot IMO to have things like fire extinguisher and first aid kit readily available. The driver's side rear door pockets are where I keep all my quick need trail stuff when I'm out exploring. Like the winch remote, etc. It's the easiest place to get to that isn't also in your lap or on the passenger seat side floor area. I have no idea how you'll attach it though. I haven't had the rear door trim off, so I don't really know what's inside. And the top rim of the door?? I glue? double sided tap? I'm not sure. But that is one spot where a flat rigid rack would be really handy. Especially if it sat maybe 6" inside the window. Then you could roll down the window for access to thin items hung on one side and open the door for access to items on the on the inside.

The other thing I've seen that I like is the rear gull winch hatch system for the LC80's. No one has something similar for the 4R. Not sure how much market there is for it, but if I were using my 4Runner as an actual overland vehicle, not a camping truck, that would be high on my to-do list.

No problem at all, I asked for feedback. I didn't take it harshly. Thanks for the other suggestions!
 
Here are the prototypes of the Engine, Tcase, and Transmission skids. We don't yet have the gas tank skid prototyped but it will mount similarly to our Tacoma gas tank skid. (to the frame, not using the stock gas tank straps). They will be offered in 3/16" steel or 1/4" aluminum (mounting brackets will still be steel).

Stay tuned.

Looks very clean however ... both access hole for the drain plug and oil filter looks really small I am not sure the bolt and oil filter would be easily accessible - especially the oil filter sitting in that awkward spot.

I have changed my oil with the skids on, much easier than the stock setup. The oil filter wrench fits without any issue. And once you have the skids installed your drain plug is protected so you can install a drain valve to make it even easier. :thumb3:
 
Victory Bumper Installed

Hello,
Thought I would post a quick review on the Blitz bumper experience and install. This bumper showed up at my house well packaged and damage free in less then 2 weeks. The powder coat finish is excellent. The install video these guys posted is great and I had no issues with getting this thing on. Until I upgrade my springs and decide on a winch, I decided to sport it winch free for a bit. It's easy to get on and off, so I'm not worried about the extra work. Between cutting and getting it bolted on, it took me 3 hours. Fit and finish is really nice. Now for some pics. I was able to take my truck out to Ft. Fisher this weekend. Was approached by a 4Runner club out there who asked if I wanted to join...Pretty cool.

Glad to hear it! Thanks for the post. Your photos are only showing up when I quote your post for some reason. The blacked out filler panel looks good! Look forward to seeing more photos!
 
I don't know why my pics aren't showing up. I put them out on Imgur and am adding them as pictures and it's putting the IMG tags around them....strange.

Very strange. They showed up when I quoted you so I saved the photos.

Banana Holder

We have started making these banana holders for the Tundra and Tacoma and they are becoming very popular.

Any 4Runner people need somewhere their banana? (or radio, flashlight, knife, etc...)

:banana:

Very cool! I could use a place to holster my bananas and other goodies.

Any idea on pricing and how it would mount in the 4Runner?

Currently, the Tundra and Tacoma options are $99 and come as a pair, primed and powder coated. There are no mounting locations on the side of the center console in these vehicles, so they mount using screws and spacers.

I really like the look of this hybrid. Excellent work. Will definitely be at the top of my list when I do decide to put one on. I like this one especially without the bull bars.

ill be in the market for a bumper soon. how close is the full size bumper for the 5th gen? I love your products and dont want to spend that much money if it is right around the relative corner. thanks
 
how wide are the rails? how much clearance is there between the bottom of the rail and top of roof? do the rails sit up high enough that the antenna is missed if I put some boards up there and last but not lease, do they come with mounting hardware and is it stainless? could I see some side photos? thanks!
