I am not that impressed with the looks of the ARB bumper. The raising of the side wings doesn't appeal to me. The Shrock Works bumper looks very nice. And I understand their quality is quite good. No final decision at the moment. Cheers,

Eezi-Awn K9 Roof Rack System Eezi-Awn K9 Roof Rack System Eezi-Awn is one of the brands that I import from South Africa. Last fall, Eezi-Awn officially launched their own line of roof rack systems in the US market. We are very excited about this system for several reasons. It's a very...

Thanks for chiming in on the KDSS guys. It would seem to me that KDSS helps on and off road. Greater stability at speed and greater articulation when crawling. At least that was my take on it. There will always be benefits and drawbacks to any system, but I am glad the Trail has it. Combine...

Great shots Greg. Tell Scott and Kurt to quit grinning so hard. It's killing us over here.

I spoke to the manager of the dealership service department the day I bought the truck to ask him about my options to get leather seats in the vehicle. He handed me a leather swatch sample set and said, "Yes we can do that. Choose a color that works for you and we can order them for you. It...

Leather Interior Leather Interior One of the conflicts I had when choosing a model of 4Runner I wanted to go with was the choice between capability and comfort. Capability wise, the Trail Edition is the way to go in my opinion. There are a lot of systems integrated to get you over just about...

Thanks for the insight and link. That helps a bunch. I have been looking at T4R for a while now and there really is some great ideas there. Some of the guys on that forum really have done great work. Cheers,

I haven't flexed it out to see if there is significant rubbing when compressed yet. We'll see. Thanks for sharing the video link. They did a great job of detailing what is necessary for the FJ. I'll let you know what I find out. Cheers,

That just might be enough difference to do it. The 275 specs at 32.16" tall and 10.83" wide, and the 285 specs at 32.71" tall and 11.22" wide. It is a bit taller and a bit wider, and as I said rubbing is minimal. Annoying all the same but minimal. Tire inflation can vary these specs too...

A little bit, yes. At full right turn to the stops I rub a bit on DS front and PS rear liners. At full left I rub DS rear and PS front. It is on the plastic liners and quite minimal. I am looking at my options to mitigate that right now. Cheers,

OME puts the lift at 3", though with the heavy load rating it seems a bit higher than that at the moment. Especially in the back. Adding some equipment to it and a little settling in should bring it down soon. The tires were a 2" height increase, so 1" at the hub. No plans for UCAs at the...

We have a few things planned in the next couple week. A couple interior mods and then we head to the roof. Stay tuned. Cheers,

I am not quite sure. I put the tires on yesterday. I have a trip to SLC later this month and we will see. I am interested to know as well.

Suspension Lift and Tires Suspension Lift and Tires Well, a little less than a thousand miles on the 4 Runner (965 actually) and the modifications begin. The first real alteration to the vehicle for me was to address the clearance of the vehicle and the tires necessary for our type of travel...

Thanks for all the comments guys. I am pondering blacking out the emblems too. No turbo, but rumor is there will be a super charger coming out at some point. I'll be on that list. I took the truck out to the SoCal Desert Rendevous event over the weekend. Towed the Chaser like a dream. I...

Gentlemen, the plan was to start a new thread for the build all along. Here is the link. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/98414-2013-Toyota-4Runner-Equipt-Edition-Build?p=1302021#post1302021 If you care to question my intelligence or decision making ability, please do that here...

2013 Toyota 4Runner, Equipt Edition Build Starting Point Current Equipt purchased a 2013 Toyota 4Runner Trail Edition in February of 2013. I am Paul May, owner of Equipt, and after much deliberation I decided it was finally time to shake things up a little. For more than a decade...

Thanks for quite interesting conversation. To each their own, right? The choice of the 5G4R Trail was a blend of things. Size, capability, economics, marketing, and more. When I built the 100 up, the majority poo-pooed the concept as "not a Land Cruiser". Now it is one of the most cherished...

Some of you guys were interested to know what was next for Equipt. Well, here you go! The 2013 Toyota 4Runner Trail Edition. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/97543-Equipt-s-new-platform-The-2013-4Runner-Trail?p=1297361#post1297361 We will be starting a brand new thread on the...

Equipt announces it's choice for their next overland vehicle platform. The 2013 Toyota 4Runner Trail Edition. Equipt recently sold their Toyota Land Cruiser 100 Series. It was time for a change. Time to try something new. We reviewed our options, and after much consideration we chose...
