    2016 Toyota 4Runner SR5 Modifications

    Well the Recovery Gear Box is finished and installed. It was a fairly easy build with lots of screws and glue used. I opted for 3/4 inch plywood on the outer box so it was strong enough to hold water containers and other stuff on top without flexing. After dry fitting and sizing to ensure a...

    2016 Toyota 4Runner SR5 Modifications

    I agree. They are stiff at first but wear in well. My friend had the same dilemma and opted for an aluminum crate which he could stack gear on.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    I started my recovery gear drawer build now that I removed the Hi-Lift jack from the cargo area. This will also allow me to store my water jugs on top of the box. Now I'm waiting on heavy duty drawer glides to come in so I can finish everything.

    2016 Toyota 4Runner SR5 Modifications

    It's been awhile since I've really did any mods to the 4Runner but now I've started a drawer build to house all my recovery gear. I had the Hi-Lift jack bolted in the back which I have now removed and I'm waiting on a device to mount it to my front bumper. The Hi-Lift was fastened to the...

    Posting Pictures

    Usually folks upload in .jpg format and videos in mp4, though most vids are a link to a YouTube channel. For PowerPoint presentations I save them as .pdf files and uplaod them. Of course, the size of the file matters.
