    All of them.
    That was my exact expression when I first heard of them. They are male and female threaded bolts that join together for hd drawer slides. I originally ordered 1/2” ones and they were long enough (that’s what she said) for 3/4” ply

    Not OP for this but yes they absolutely connected it to the head unit, otherwise no subwoofing to be had. What may vary is how... here's an example on one way to do it
    https://trail4runner.com/2019/04/08/tacotunes-4runner-add-subwoofer-upgrade/
    Or you could get one of these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CQUL240/?coliid=I2OVIK8AYPV3OR&colid=3D5KO5GD66DMT&pldnSite=1 and do a speaker level input to a powered sub/amp + passive sub

    :cheers:

    Most of the suspension showed up. The panhard bar will be here today. Need to order extended bump stops then I’ll get it all mounted up :)

    We need extended bump stops for the FCP? I didn’t put those on. Now you got me thinking I need to add some.

    If you add anymore extension to the bump stops you won’t have any upwards flex on the front:

    Departure. My bad. Unless you hit it going up a longer steep spot then is it departure? Or the rear approaching the climb?

    Sent off an email to Wicked Creations, as I can't really figure out how exactly this roof rack attaches to the rails on my 4Runner. I'll see if I can get some installation instructions for it. Sadly, the weather has sucked for the past few days, and this weekend isn't looking too good either, so, it's not like I can do much with it yet, anyways.

    On the brighter side of things, I've been able to play in some mud a bit!

    I watched a YouTube video on these. They plug right into the factory cross bars. No?

    I'll have to search out this video. If they're supposed to just plug straight into the rails, then I may be missing some hardware.

    You will have to remove the stock support bars. Lightly pre-screw the nuts on the Wicked Creations roof rack. Then slide the stock roof rack rails with the screw protruding through the channel and the nuts inside the channel of the stock roof rack rails. Then align and tighten. Then put your factory roof rails back on. I would recommend silicone caulking and thread lock.

    I guess I lied. I can’t find the YouTube video but I know I read over them to see how it was installed or I built it in my mind (engineer in me).

    There's no need to remove the support rails. The WC cross bars mount the same way as oem. The end cap has to be removed is all. There should have been some nut brackets that slide into the side support rails.

    Sorry it has been a while. I thought the rails channels were blocked by the plastic mounts. I haven’t seen mine in over a year. If this is the case that would make it even easier.

    Yep, and also a major thank you to both you and @GrantA ! going from what you guys have said, I think I finally got it figured out! Let's see if I've got this right:

    Bolts go into these brackets here that go into the factory rails on my 4Runner:
    PXL_20210716_014637217.jpg

    I then line the crossbars up and mount them onto the bolts, then fully attach them with a nut and washer:
    PXL_20210716_014725827.jpg

    I think that's where my problem lies....I got the bolts and washers, but, they sent no nuts:

    Looks good to me. Now just pop off the plastic covers (requires some force) and slide on and tighten down.

    I think you need to turn your bolds around. There is not enough room inside the factory rails for the bracket and the head of the bolt.

    Yeah looking at the last picture (the one with the bracket in your hand) more closely it appears they are threaded on the ends. So you will need to put the plate in and then screw into the plate. Sorry the documentation is not there and I don’t have one. Just doing the best I can with directing what everything looks like. Sorry I can’t be more help but hopefully when you get going on it things will start making sense.

    Can’t wait to see the final product.

    No worries! It should be pretty simple to figure out once I get started on it. Definitely appreciate the help from everyone!

    Since there doesn't seem to be any installation instructions, I think I'll try to document the entire install and hopefully that'll help someone else who ends up buying this roof rack. Granted, they'll probably be much smarter than I am and have it figured out from the get-go. *laughs*

    No nuts involved. Turn the circled bolts around, they go the other way, through the end of the crossbar into the plate that is in the factory side rail, with the lock washer between the bolt head and the end of the crossbar.

    Today, I had my tint go-to-guy at Draztic Film Solutions in Magnolia, TX - do ceramic all the way around (including the windshield for UV protection). My rig is in the foreground.

    Interesting coincidence, there was another "twin" 4R (in the background) at their shop!
