    I know some folks prefer the extra headroom without. That is the only potential downside I see.

    I've had several Toyotas with moonroofs, and never a leak. The T-tops on my '87 MR2 were another story, though.

    In general, all equipment purchased for Camping without doing a sample camp. Must have blown a good $700 on stuff I now will never use. Biggest blunder though was Buying a Yeti for almost $300 when my Fridge/Freezer combo was $410.

    Gave the yeti away to a friend that helped me get my lift kit installed.....

    Mike Tyson once said "Everybody has a plan till they get punched in the mouth". Think the same applies to offroading/camping etc.

    NONE!!! Bought my SR5 Premium used, so we got what it had; no complaints although we haven't used the 3rd row seating yet.

    Getting ready to install mine soon. I use the A-pillar grab handle in my Tacoma every single time that I get in it, and it irritates me to no end that a higher end vehicle like the 4Runner does not have it. Every time I get in the 4Runner I am reaching for something that is not there... YET!

    Good choice. Are you installing the bracket and oem handle described in the T4R.org link I had in my post?

    Yes, that is the one. It seems the most sturdy to me, and has good fasteners.

    Just outta curiosity why do so many loathe the predator steps? I'm not a fan of how they look personally, and definitely love my n-fab bars over them, but why the hate? Is it because they are not a true off road function?

    She was adopted at three months. And her parents have lived in 17 different places.

    She is the most conservative person I have ever met. You should see her play Texas Holdem she is usually at the last table.

    In my case, it was because of how low the steps hung down. My wife used them every time to get in, but she doesn't mind the slider step I have now.

    Before:

    Without any:

    Now:

    If she didn't use the sliders for a step, I'd consider going without anything. I like that look the best.

    My glove box thingie got tossed after a couple days, along with the console tray (the console organizer is great). I'll find some bags for the glovebox instead of that wobbly mess.

    I regret doing head unit integration rather than replacement. Tried line level inputs, then a keyloc, and finally a DSP before getting acceptable results. Also adding an 8" factory sub enclosure was not worth the effort/expense, but I wouldn't have bothered if I didn't have a 3-row.
