    Thanks. I get the pro on the nineteenth. I will install the extinguisher immediately, and the rock slides are on the 24th. Pics every step of the way.

    I see bumpers and sliders, but no skids. :boink:

    You might want heavy rear springs with that bumper.

    Have fun with your build! Subbed for progress pics!

    Hey I would look into a different fog light if it isn't too late. I wouldn't use those Baja fogs on the street, please. Google "fog light pod thread tacoma" and enjoy all 200 or whatever pages of reading. TL;DR: Baja's suck, Diode Dynamic SS3's are where it's at (for actual fog lights).

    Build looks like it will be fun. Enjoy! A little jealous over here.. ;):p

    Stuck with Baja because hefty fabworks sold them with my bumpers and they are doing the install. I did change to SAE fogs light based on your recommended read and plea.

    Since I'm still recovering from back surgery, I haven't been able to do some stuff yet, but I did install gzila designs dual tool clamps for my axe and shovel.20201210_115447.jpg 20201210_115506.jpg

    Looks good, but I'd probably move it to the side of the rack. That shovel (and quick-fist) will really be fighting the wind in that configuration heh.

    The sides are for reserved for maxtraxs and a possible awning. I figure anything on top causes wind drag, even the rack. My solution is driving slow as hell ( especially when towing the teardrop.)

    Meh, wind resistance and drag are one thing, I just see that shovel as a sail in that configuration. I'd definitely move over if I saw that in front of me. To each his own I guess, but there are others on the road. Curious, what do you plan to place on top of the rack?

    This is great to hear! Very effective. I use this same method. :)

    And, it's nice that some people are reasonable about towing. I see idiots constantly who are going 80 and passing everyone while towing travel trailers and 5th wheels. It's amazing I don't see more of those things in the ditch.

    I seen a few wrecked here in Arizona.

    Towing and crappy gas mileage means slow is best.

    Well, I guess if you keep it under 50...

    Have you looked into placing the Maxxtrax, or waste behind your rear mounted spare? I often see that guys use a good special canvas type bag, that mounts on their spare, and that is where they put their trash when overlanding/camping.

    I throw my trash on my Pro rack, as well, while camping.. but for me that's a basic kitchen trash bag literally tossed up there while I ease down to the camp site's bear-proof dumpster. I sure would hate for anything to leak on the roof of my 4Runner, heh. So far so good.

    I stood on the rear bumper and I pulled pretty darned hard on them. Not a budge. Btw, I am also added a locking cable for theft and added mounting security. Even in the highly unlikely events of both monkey fists letting go, the axe and shovel won't hit you.

    I also reversed the shovel so the rounded side faces the wind as an extra step (no longer a wind scoop).

    Had to change the shovel location because it blocked the rear hatch. Also mounted 4 maxtrax xtreme. 2 on each side.20201217_104602.jpg 20201217_104430.jpg

    Thanks. My surgeon cleared me yesterday, so I'm taking her up to four peaks outside Phoenix. She is gonna taste dirt. Nothing hard core though.

    Do you drive around on a daily basis with that installed? Are you concerned with theft?

    What type of teardrop do you pull?
