Overland 5th Gen 4Runner Build

[JPontheMountain]

Please keep us posted on the mpg loss with the roof rack. Thank you.

The rack itself didn't cause any loss of mpg or add any additional sound. After a tent is mounted and a few additional accessories, I may see a slight dip. I'll keep the thread posted.

Such a good start. Where'd you pick up the wheels? I'm curious how they'd look on my first gen tundra...


Ps. There are way more offroad trails in the Teton area, they're just a little hidden and off the beaten path

Thanks man! I was originally buying the wheels from a local Toyota dealer in town. They wanted $215 a wheel. When I called discount tire to ask if they'd match the price of the KO2's the manager asked what wheels I was mounting them on and said he'd try to find the same wheels and match the price. Ended up selling them to me for $200/wheel.

Unfortunately, if you want a full length rack. You will need drill forward mounting holes into your vehicle.
Quite a few people have done it. Here's a link explaining the installation process.

Just a small update since we had a warm night a few nights ago. Heading north to CBI off-road fab to get my rear bumper installed next Tuesday. Will post pics when all is installed!

Oh man what a sweet rig!

Traveled north to Idaho Falls to see Nathan and the crew at CBI Offroad Fab last Tuesday. The result was a top-notch install of their 5th Gen rear bumper with swing away tire carrier, dual can carrier, and camp table. Such a clean and amazing product.

Trail Back Up Camera

JP,

Do you have the back up camera? If so, how did the CBI rear bumper and carrier integrate that?

Thanks!

JP,

Thanks!

It absolutely will be blocked by the CBI swing arm. We installed a second camera and relocated it to under my swing arm, and bypassed the wiring, to get it back.
