    2017 4runner TRD Off Road build "Hyperion"

    So... Made some progress, but with a few hiccups... First off, I got the C4Fab bumper on. Winch went on too... with just minor fitment issues/ bending of lines. I was, however, pretty mad to discover that c4 had forgotten to send me the L brackets for my light bar. So next week when the...

    2017 4Runner Off Road

    Did you upgrade the front suspension when you added the front bumper? Im about to add a lo pro c4 bumper and winch to my 4runner and am a bit worried about the weight on the front. Still cant decide on what i route i should go to compensate... full lift, front struts, or spacers (for now).

    I like it, but i havent actually used it on a trip yet... so any real advice on it is a bit premature. Im sure itll be easier to install on a front runner rack. Quality seems good sofar though, and price wasnt bad. My wavian jerry cans fit well too.

    Progress! Got the front bumper powder coated and ready for install. Ordered my smitybilt xrc 9500 synthetic winch as well. Had a day off work with some nice weather, so i go up on the roof and setup the jerry can holder. As this is my daily driver i dont drive around with the cans and top...

    2016 Toyota 4Runner SR5 Modifications

    I went with no plates, just the bars... I really like them, and i never slip when i step on mine. I undercoated them with black enamel, then put a flat black rubberized coat over that. Gonna need to repaint after winter because the salt is killing them, but they were awesome all spring and...

    I like what youve done with it! Check out RCI sliders, i love mine and they came quick... Also the rago storage panels are really nice. I only bought one for the drivers side, but its worked very well sofar. Im sure youll like them!

    Quick update... Got some goodies for Christmas! Nothing installed yet, but ill get it on eventually... I got the Dual jerry can holder from Front Runner, 2 Wavian NATO jerry cans, an 8x8ft canopy for the roof rack, 2 shackles for the lo-pro bumper (still to be installed), and a flat tire...

    Also, i wouldn't necessarily call this a mod, but im pretty excited about my new bike rack. I recently got a new fat bike and had to get the rack so i wouldn't ruin the 4runners interior. Its a Yakima two timer. Its so much easier than stuffing a big bike in the back all the time. FYI, for...

    New additions! After a few months of waiting my c4fab low pro front bumper finally came in the mail! This thing is beast... I got the light bar with amber and white lights with it. I still need to order my winch though. I plan on installing everything in the spring. I dont have a winter...

    I did however learn on this last trip some sad news about my mounting options... once i mounted my tepui tent my max trax mounts wouldnt fit like they had before, and neither would my shovel mount. The rubber gaskets the mounts came with were moving when they shouldnt, and i couldnt make them...

    Well this past weekend i went on a trip and the 4runner went through lots of water... no crossings, but lots and lots of deep puddles and partially flooded roads/ trails. I havent noticed any issues, but i havent gone as far as checking and fluids or oil. Just a visual inspection, and...

    2017 4runner TRD Off Road build "Hyperion"

    New mod just finished... I installed a new differential breather. I went with the creeper breather over the ARB kit. It was cheaper, and had a much more simple install. For the small amount of water my truck has seen to date, i think it will be sufficient. In the future i find myself doing...
