I didn't do anything TO my 4runner, but I did some stuff WITH my 4runner. On Tuesday we had a 70+ degree day. Wednesday we got 20" of heavy, wet snow in 12 hours. Because the forecast didn't call for so much snow until hours before the storm arrived, tons of people drove to work thinking it was just another manageable spring storm, a few inches.
Well, I left my office at noon in blizzard conditions and passed 15-20 stranded vehicles in ~4 miles. I always carry a tow strap and decided to wait until I was closer to my neighborhood to start helping people.
No sooner do I turn into the 'hood, I see our mailman's minivan 3 feet over the curb and he's struggling to dig his front wheels out in someone's front yard. I wish I'd gotten a photo looking back at his truck while I towed him out bc it was pretty funny (not for him) but I pulled him out and then proceeded to pull out 3 other neighbors in the next 4 blocks whose cars had made it all the way home only to get stuck within blocks of their house (our neighborhood doesn't get plowed by the city). 4runner FTW!
Anyway, I advise everyone in locations with regular inclement weather always carry a tow strap in the event you or others get stuck. Plus it's always fun/rewarding to put your vehicle to use to help others out :thumb3:
Photo was upon arriving home - it snowed hard another 4+ hours after it was taken.

I had to give you props for helping people out... And in your 4runner no doubt...

Thanks, I just figure if it were me stuck, I'd hope someone who is capable would help me out.
I can't claim to be some kind of saint because I passed a TON of people and didn't help them out, but for my neighbors and mailman (oh the poor mailman...) - I got their backs! :boxing:

Picked up the $50 (dealer price) envelope style cargo net off Craigslist for $10...Pretty sweet, hopefully stuff won't fall out when I open the hatch now

Thread a bungee cord through the bottom of the net and hook to the two rear tie-downs. Keeps a lot of stuff from rolling out when you open the rear door.

Are you suggesting this in addition to the existing lower hooks that are connected to the upper loops?

Yes. Holds the bottom of net to the bottom of the cargo area help prevent items from rolling out the bottom.

Awesome, thanks for the info. Might try it with 550 cord and some adjustable clips...

Ordered a new CB with sideband, not sure where it is going yet but it's going in somewhere. Made it a whole two weeks on the "I'm done with mods so I want to buy a new mtn bike" promise. New bike sitting in dining room currently.
Got the wife and daughter out the door and to the aiport for a two week trip visiting family.
Now off to Home Depot to start work on that drawer and fridge slide...
