So I have a 2004 4Runner for our expo rig but it's not my DD. I have a 2010 Carolla that I drive around as my DD but I try and drive the 4Runner every now and then to keep everything moving. I don't want to drive it too much because the mileage is already high so I'd like to keep from racking...

I'm about to build a drawer set up for the back of my 4Runner. Im plannin on just building a faily basic box with 2 drawers but I'm torn between making the drawers out of wood or aluminum. I'm comfortable working with metal because that's what I've always built my projects out of in the past...

Well this weekend I'm going to build a drawer system for the back of our 4Runner. I'm basically going to do a large platform on the floor with the drawers mounted to that. What do you guys recommend for affordable material? I was thinking maybe half inch plywood but I really want this to last.

I haver an Indel B fridge in the back of the 4Runner that I have been having issues with. It works fine when it's cool out but if it starts to warm up a little it kicks off and gives a E1 error, which I read is a voltage error. I ran a cig lights back for the fridge from the aut battery. How...

I'm looking for an inverter for my 4Runner. On my last rig i just had a cheap inverter from auto zone and it worked fine most of the time but I'd really like to get a better quality inverter this time and have it last. Any recommendations on brands or wattage rating? We will be running various...

I just put my dual battery in the other week and am using a solenoid isolator like I always have done before. I always put a fuse in before and after the isolator because I read somewhere that I needed to. I put a fuse before the isolator because I only had one fuse laying around and am...

I have an extra unused IPF900XS light and I was thinking I'd like to mount it as a moveable search light for the passenger to control. At work all our trucks have search lights but their always complete units with the light already built into an assembly. Has anyone seen a mount that's...

I'm hooking up my dual battery today and was looking for a solid ground for the accessory battery. Would the hook that's there on the engine be a solid ground? It's on an 04 4Runner.

Today I fabbed up a tray for a dual battery. I already had the red top sitting in the garagee. Eventually I'll replace it with a yellow top but it will be the same size. Everything seems fine but I have this worry always that the battery will touch the hood and short out. It's definitely a...

Around 6 months ago I installed the bilstein 5100 shocks and eibach 650 coils. I called Toytec and they said to put the shocks on the second setting up from the bottom to help with the weight because I have an ARB bumper and winch also. Now I have a tiny bit of rubbing if I'm at an angle and...

Well I have a heavy tool box that is pretty big that i always keep in the truck. I've had it for years and when we had the Suburbans room was never an issue so it didn't matter what I brought for tools or that I brought a bunch of stuff I would probably never need. Now I'm really trying to...

I built a battery tray today for an accessory battery. I built it to try and squeeze the optima red top that I got for free in there but it just won't fit. It's a about an inch too tall and an inch too wide. Anyone have any recomendations for a smaller deep cycle battery? I'm going to be...

I have an 04 4runner and I just bought an arb roof rack that came with lights on top. Anyone have any ideas on how to run the wiring for the lights from the roof? I have 5 lights for the front, 2 led lights for the sides and 2 hella light for the back.

I had to extend the cables today for my winch so I can mount the control box where I want and I was wondering does anyone fuse winch? There is a ton of power running through and the solenoid boxes are a tight fit but I've never heard of anyone putting an inline fuse on one. I've had winches...

Ok I've put together my own dual battery systems on a few rigs in the past and never had any issues. Every time I've had different batteries but I've always heard you want similar batteries. I'm going to put together my dual battery setup on my 04 4runner this week. I always just use a 200amp...

I have used an ipad for all my navigating for a few years now and love it. I bought a new ipad which I use all the time as just a normal ipad but am keeping my old ipad for just navigating. Is there a way I can store it without ruining the battery since I won't be using it and going through...

Well i have over 200k on my 4runner and it runs great. The front suspension is still tight as a drum but all the boots are torn. I replaced just the boots on the uppers but i want to get in there and really upgrade everything. I was thinking of Total Chaos UCAs, and also upgrading the springs...

I do a bunch of rides where i ride my bike and my wife rides her horse. On the uphill and sand or rocks were good but on the downhill stuff she is way way slower so i end up on the brakes pretty good for a while if i don't just get off and walk. Anything i can do to keep my brakes from getting...

Ive had dual battery setups on other vehicles. Now that im starting to build up my 4runner im going to get another dual set up together for inverter, winch, lights, etc.. Is it possible to use an Optima red top as the aux battery or will it just kill it because its not a deep cycle? I only...

Im going to get new tires this week in probably 265/70/17 on my 04 4runner. I am kind of on the fence with what i want to do. I have the money together to get some of the more expensive tires like the BFGs of the ST Maxxs but now that im about to pull the trigger i keep thinking of going with...
