I have some gaps too after having my 4runner for 8 years and was thinking of replacing mine. If you don't mind me asking, what style of weather stripping did you use and how did you secure it?
What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

Got my RCI sliders installed after waiting 13 (almost 14) weeks!

Looks like we just had a rash of slider buying & installing. [emoji1787]
I also disconnected my front sway bar, just to test it out. With the Dobinsons IMS suspension, the 4Runner leans less in corners than the stock suspension with the front sway bar, even tried a few "panic stops" while swerving and it was still more controlled than stock. After the rain passes, I may just go ahead and completely pull it out.

Relocated Diff Breather to Gas Cap, checked plumbing to Diff Breather to insure good length under flex, checked BMC for rubbing under flex. Preparing for my CO and UT trip!

Shrockworks three tube support angled sliders installed
I think it compliments the Gobi rack tube design very well
And just a closer shot of the welds

You'll enjoy them I'm sure!
Install was simple, did it myself with some stacked wood blocks to hold them in place. Also very happy that the purchase includes several extra pieces of hardware, almost a full set extra in fact.
They were a pleasure to purchase from too. Only a 3 week lead time and their pricing is one of the least expensive out there.

Just an FYI - their included instructions mention removing clips for the hard lines running near the mounting locations, but I had no issues installing them w/o moving anything.
The stick nuts are a breeze.
If you plan to reinstall those plastic caps on the frame, be extremely careful removing them because they're brittle AF.

Any reason you replaced the RSG sliders with Shrockworks?

An avoidance maneuver on the freeway will show the lack of swaybars the most. Also, you may not be able to find many takers for the KDSS system. I'm not well versed but there are a lot of differences in trucks with and without it. ECU control and wiring/cluster is unique. The frame is supposedly a different PN too. I think the only ones who could make use of it are the trucks that already have it. Spare parts maybe.

Just dropped it off at the tire shop for a new set of Cooper Discoverer AT3 tires.

Dang those RCI sliders look really clean. How's the footprint on them? Meaning does it feel too narrow or still ok when stepping on them to get in and out? How was the install? Pretty straight forward?
I bought this automotive rubber weather stripping from Amazon. I didn't want foam as it will just soak up water. It worked perfect because it's pretty thin but very flexible. You just have to make sure you cut some triangles for the corners so you can round the corners easier. It comes as an adhesive stripping but I used some loctite super glue for some added re-assurance. PM me if you need help.
