2/3 look to be Pelican Cases. Very spendy, but worth it for expensive gear.
What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

Yeah, I was pretty sure the top one was a Pelican but it's the bottom two I was wondering about. Looking more for something to hold my recovery gear that's more efficient on space usage than the Action Packer.

No idea what the bottom left (camera perspective) one is, but bottom right and top is definitely Pelican. I think the bottom right is the same one I used at a former company for shipping 6 laptops in. We did trade shows and had hundreds of Pelican cases for all kinds of different gear. I own a few 17xx series cases for long guns, which is all I use them for now.
I have some ARB drawers sitting in my cart at TRDParts4U to fix my storage needs, just haven't worked up the nerve to checkout...

The green case is a pelican. I was in the military for a while, so I ended up with 8 of them. They're worth their weight in gold! The only drawback is they're heavy!
The one on the left is just some crappy case I got at a sports store. It's just a knock around that I carry with me.

Not so much today, but over the past 2 weeks I've added a bug shield, vent visors (both Weathertech), an Nfab step bar (sorry, no pic yet), roof rack cross bars, and a Larin aluminum roof rack basket. Wifey has hinted I may be able to do a tire/wheel upgrade with the tax return in a couple months. All that would be left after that is a mild leveling lift or overall 3" lift. I'm still studying what brand or kit I want for that.

Did the dealer put that pinstripe on your car?

Not that I am aware of. But it seemed to be the only one out of several they had on the lot with that stripe. I wanted a Trail, and they only had a dark gray one and this white one. I'm not much for dark gray. My hometown dealer can't even get 4wd versions without a lot of effort. And they usually only have 1 or 2 4Runners on their lot at any given time.

Got a little snow with more on the way here in the Portland/Vancouver Metro area. Took the 4Runner out for a spin in the white stuff. Performed like a champ as expected. I enjoy when the Slip Control works when it is supposed to rather than in corners, on dry pavement, at moderate speeds.
How's this for [MENTION=93894]J-BlickPhoto[/MENTION] type pics? :behindsofa:
Oh yea, that's coming from an el-cheapo Olympus Stylus Tough set to Auto Mode:flipoff:

Nice upgrade - was going to do those or stoptech (went stoptech). Tell us how you like them...and it's time to re-spray those center caps...

Thanks, man. So far, with the few 40 miles I'd say I put on them today, I feel they bite a bit harder than stock. But then again, it may just feel that way because I got so used to my heavily worn stock pads. They were toast. I like the way they feel. I don't have to press hard at all right now for them to begin to work. Again, I think I can attribute this to the full thickness of the new pads. How do you like your Stoptechs?
Ha ha, yeah the center caps have shown some wear. That's what happens when you live in the Northeast. Plus, they just get banged up off road. I'll touch those up when I do my sliders when it warms up.

Stoptech's are great! Instantly loved the upgrade...best part was no more squeaking - drove me nuts - 4 years of squeaking stock brakes. I have the ceramic pads and they feel a little soft but no brake dust...may try the green pads next. Overall I really like this upgrade over stock.

Got a call from Sandra (sp) over at Gobi telling me to come on over tomorrow to get my rack, ladder and struts installed. While sometimes a little hard to get ahold of, they have been amazing. It's also nice that their shop is 1 mile from my house. I'll take some pics mañana.

I am totally stealing that for my fridge. I have the ARB tie downs, with the non-ratchet style tie downs, and can't cinch them up enough to keep it from moving around a bit. Turn buckle and tie down ring should be perfect.
