    Auxiliary light mounting options for 4th gen 4Runner

    Check out t4r.com. There's a guy on there selling Defiant-style bars for around $180 which are really nice. And you can't switch to hid, as you don't have projectors, unless you switch to the 2006+ headlights (which is a bigger project then just changing out the headlights, unfortunately). I'm...

    Help! Portable renewable energy solutions

    Nice! That's the way to live! How about a 12v refrigerator? While I'm on about the cooking stuff, I sometimes wheel with a crock pot plugged into my inverter. It would be great not to have to unplug it when I stop the truck for a hike! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Favorite cooler under $100

    I picked up a Coleman 12v cooler for under $100 that I've been pretty happy with: Coleman 40-Quart PowerChill Thermoelectric Cooler with Power Cord, Black/Silver https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008GOBG1Y/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_EVk-tb0C69JSK I plug it into my rear 12v socket and let it run the entire...

    Trip Report: Mojave Road II: hardcore remote travel with many conveyances

    We saw you guys! I was with a group of four 4Runners from the UltimateYota forum heading the opposite direction and passed you around the Kelbaker Rd intersection. I love the varied modes of transportation you guys were running!

    Trash hauling without an exterior tire carrier?

    This isn't an outside solution, but I throw a trash bag into one of my larger backpacks and strap that to the back of my passenger seat. Sort of a smaller, interior TrashaRoo. I'm on the same boat as you - no rear spare carrier.

    First Expedition: Mojave Road East to West in a JKUR with an IH Scout

    I've done it in my 4th gen 4runner, when it was bone stock. You should have absolutely zero concern making this run. Very easy.

    Saline Valley by dual sport

    Amazing. Unfortunately, I don't have a bike that'll make that trip, but I hope to do it in the 4Runner some day soon. It looks like an incredible place to visit. And Ride Apart is among my favorite web sites!

    Chemex Coffee Maker

    LOVE Chemex coffee. We just got one for our wedding and brew that way every day we're off work and have the time. Amazing coffee, for sure, but like you said, the glass might not be the most practical for off road. And while I do enjoy some coffee while on a trip, I'm all about practicality and...

    When only a hilift will do

    Ok, so you used the high lift to get the trailer in the air, then what? Did you push it over back onto the road? What came next and how did this wind up?

    Flat rack for 4th gen 4runner.

    Not sure if its what you're looking for, but check E-trailer for the Rhino racks. I've got one (the large?) and I love the looks and functionality of it. http://www.etrailer.com/Roof-Cargo-Carrier/Rhino-Rack/RPBM-U.html I actually found it significantly cheaper elsewhere, but I forget where....

    No, definitely a good thing to clarify.

    Belt. Right. Thanks for the clarification. I blame the beer.

    so I might possibly will convert

    I have an 04 Limited V8 and have had minimal problems that I couldn't fix myself (with help from T4R.org, etc!). You'll be coming on the timing chain replacement at 100k miles, if you get a V-8, but other than that, you should be good to go for a couple hundred thousand miles! I wheel with guys...

    Roof Mounted Solar Shower

    3 comments: 1: There's at least 2 other live threads about this thing on the forum at the moment. 2: yeah, it does look pretty cool; reasonable price, but possibly really easy to recreate for next to nothing? 3: is this the most awkward presenter ever? Let go of the bike!!!!

    Interior Rear Hatch release Button 4th Gen 4R

    I'm digging up this old thread to bump a great mod! Thanks so much for a great idea and beautiful writeup! But I'm also adding my own advice: If you go through this install and find the tailgate latch unresponsive, before you spend a half hour resetting the ecu, checking for blown fuses or...
