    Put some storage on top of the roof rack. Now I can store my recovery gear on the roof instead of in the back of the 4Runner since I use the 3rd row seats.

    I have the same case on my rack and so far I've been happy with it. It was the right depth to put my Viair 440p on it's side with some foam cushion in there to boot.

    I really like the lower profile compared to other offerings. The 4Runner gets bad gas mileage already with my lift and 100lb wheel & tire combo. This is what I put in it:
    • Tree saver
    • Tow chain
    • Hi-lift jack foot
    • Winch protector
    • Jumper cables
    • Recovery rope
    • Shackle
    • More room to spare

    Poor pics, mounted a simple milk crate to the back of coolerslide to utilize the little bit of dead space where the slide doesn’t quite meet the back of the seats.

    Well I used u-bolts to go around the cross support bars on the roof rack. I then grounded the extra bolt length off so it is relatively flush on the inside. I would say it is “permanent” because I don’t want to install the bolts again. But I will be taking them out to dip them in flex seal for a nicer finish and to hopefully provide some protection from rubbing. So they can be removed. I will silicone the holes up after doing the flex seal but honestly they are pretty tight fit right now because I drilled exactly to size. Happy to share more pictures if desired.
    It was raining pretty good this afternoon. I wasn’t driving anywhere and I didn’t even have the lid latched down all the way as I was working on it before lunch and then it started raining pretty good. No problems this far but it might rain tomorrow when I am driving and I will know more then.
    This is the Vault v700. I was looking at the v800 but it was just to long and I currently store my tire on the roof when off-roading while I wait to save up for the c4 bumper with tire carrier. Need to see if anyone is down for a group buy.

    Thanks Grant, exactly what I was thinking, even J bolts with big washers. I have a pelican rifle case that I haven't used in a few years. Didn't really want to drill holes in it but what the heck. Better utilized on the rack for recovery gear

    Yeah I just spent $150 on this case and then went a drilled holes in it. But that is what I bought it for. :spending: I don’t think Cabela’s will accept the return now. ;)

    I replaced the front rotors and pads yesterday, with Advics parts. The factory pads had Advics stamped right on them, and I was happy to find replacements out in the wild that didn't carry the "Toyota" parts price.
    Other than cracking a Craftsman 19mm socket which will be replaced under warranty at Ace, it went swimmingly. I would strongly suggest that if you can, re-use the old hardware (retainer springs and pad pins), or get genuine Toyota parts. The AC Delco hardware I got wasn't quite the same and didn't go on properly, so I used the old stuff. No issues there.

    Installed the ICS dash mount. I was unsuccessful in being able to pull the wire harness from the 12v so I could hook the USB ports up. I need someone with tiny tiny hands. Lol

    Not gonna lie... popping the dash and head unit out and drilling holes was a little stressful but it working out really well.

    Had to repaint my "grill guard" mod. Noticed the paint coming off while power washing bugs the other day. With all the abuse the nose takes, I'm only using 2X (with the separate catalyst" from here on out.

    I re-aimed my headlights today…after the lift and slight leveling, I’ve been getting flashed lots more often.

    Also started to de-chrome a bit. I plasti-dipped the horizontal bars on the top grill, and the yota emblems on the centercaps. Also took the centercap garnish rings off.

    Didn’t have to, but already had. Wheels, tires, and suspension lift were done months ago.

    Checked the spare tire and rest assured it was at 45PSI. The door sticker says 32PSI. Max pressure on the tire says 44PSI. Good luck driving with that spare on a summer day.
    So much for the PDI at the dealer, that I paid for.

    Prepping her for a 2500 mile trip up north.

    Probably seen this 100 times from others but here it is again, didn't need a oil change but did it anyway. Installed Fumoto drain plug and full RCI aluminum skid plates installed. Couple of things I noticed, RCI put a hole on the cross bar to drain the transfer case but not on the skid plate. Good thing it doesn't need replacing every 7000 miles. Minus a point, would have been nice to have the second plate with higher wings to keep the catalytic converter safe from a sawzall. Minus another point. Overall 8 out of 10 for RCI full skid plates.

    Continued with my cargo deck drawers system project, phase two. Built and installed the drawer for the right side cabinet, now just need to fab and build a pull out tableC4B04510-24EF-439A-AFB9-01B8D466362C.jpg 76CD8276-475F-4B45-87CD-C1C96BAE517F.jpg for that cabinet, have a cool idea for that & hope it works. Once that is all done then on to phase 3 of the project.

    Nicely done! Have any idea how much it weighs for all of that?

    Next up is a Pro style front end/grill and emblems painted to match the wheels.
