    Yes
    My bumper has a mount point, so I am starting there with an NMO mount so I can swap antennas if I want. I only use 1 radio at a time typically. The bumper is low, but should be better than the handheld antenna inside the truck.

    I thought about getting a different color of the side pieces, but I didn’t know what to get. My Runner is white but white just seems like it would get dirty, the red looks more orange in their pictures and the blue is too light for my taste.

    Why cut the bolt head off & remove the Jam nut?

    Please re read the process.
    The bolts used in the front, (bolt heads cut off, making them studs) are cut to make them the proper length.
    The jam nuts are used to tighten them fully into that location using loctite. Once tightened, the jam nuts have to be removed to proceed to the next step.
    If the jam nuts are not removed one could not proceed to insert the spacers into the holes.

    I have printed the directions from earlier, just not reviewed thoroughly. I was thinking the jam nuts were on top. Thanks for clarifying:yes::cheers:

    Sure, here is the breakdown !

    Look up what was used and search McMaster and if you don’t find what you need, search Belmetric.
    If you don’t find what you need there, do as others have done and source items.
    You have all the information at your hands and want someone to do the work.

    Hey, does anyone know what the total headroom will be once seat jackers are installed? This is regarding a 5th gen 4runner with a sunroof, thank you.

    Lol i had to Google what a "transfer station" was. Never heard a waste dump called that before. Guess that's an actual technical term. Lol.

    You just increased your chances of being an idiot and got reported.

    Go away, you dont have a 4runner. Stop wasting our time with this nonsense

    Actually, it is logical to post to more places because that increases the chances of getting a response. Also, I may get a 4Runner in the future, and what harm is it to ask questions in advance? Make sure to do some critical thinking, you need to exercise your brain.

    By this logic, a toilet is a "Transfer Station".
