Sorry for the delay in responding, I haven't been on the site in a while. I don't have a writeup for the vents, but they are made out of 1/8" luan plywood and screen door mesh. I used cardboard to make templates that fit in the window tracks and then transferred those to the plywood and cut...

Here's one more from a trip this weekend. The front extension unlatches and slides over the storage box for transport. I throw the bags from my chair and table on top of the propane cans to fill in the gap above the wheel well. With the air mattress in place it is a completely flat surface...

Recently I've been sleeping in the back of the 4runner on trips since setting up a tent gets to be a bit of a hassle. I have a fridge mounted in one of the rear seats which doesn't leave a lot of space to sleep since the wheel well intrudes into the passenger compartment. I decided to build a...

Mike, I've seen a lot of places claiming you should run an 18' cable for CB use since it corresponds to a 1/2 wavelength at 27 megahertz. This doesn't make a lot of sense since the signal travels slower in cable (measured by the velocity factor) so it's not a 1:1 comparison. There's a good...

I think shipping to Brazil would probably cost more than the rims are worth. :) I was in Rio earlier this year but I don't think they would have fit in my carry on. - Matt

Correct, $300 for all 4 rims.

Bump. $300 OBO.

I'd also vote for the HD-SKO. They are very well made and work great on the trail. That reminds me, I need to touch mine up with the rattle can... - Matt

I removed the stock ash tray on my 4runner and replaced it with a CB. To get it flush with the faceplate some people heat and bend the heater pipe behind the dash so that the antenna cable will fit, instead I modified the radio so the antenna connection is now a piece of coax that comes out of...

I'm a big fan of Harbor Freight torque wrenches. My first torque wrench was a Craftsman and it died after about months, my HF 1/2" drive has been going strong for years. They probably do not retain accuracy as well as some other brands, but for suspension/axle work maximum accuracy is not an...

Here are two quick "teasers" of other projects that are in the works. The first started with a stack of 1/2" plywood. And is well on its way to becoming a combination storage drawer and sleeping platform. This afternoon I added a 5th tie down point to the cargo area and am now in the process...

One of the major weaknesses of the 3rd generation 4Runner is the location of the gas tank. It hangs down below the frame rails and tends to get hung up quite often on whatever I am driving over. Last year I put several major dents in the stock skidplate which is weak enough that this resulted in...

A while ago I installed a CB radio in the stock ash tray location. The radio is a Uniden PRO 520XL which I selected for its small size. Other people who installed CBs into this same location have run into issues with the antenna cable hitting the heater ductwork under the dash. I didn't want to...

Tim, The lugnuts look something like this (not my picture). - Matt Price is now $300 OBO.

I don't convert a lot of photos to blank and white, but I've always liked this one. - Matt

These rims came off of my 2000 4runner Sport and have roughly 90k miles on them. They are in good condition, the only flaws are a couple of curb scrapes and the paint on the plastic center cap on one of them is fading. Asking $350 OBO. I prefer to sell these locally but would consider shipping...

I used a Puma for about 6 years and have used an MV50 for the last 4 or so. Both work just fine on 32" and 33" tires, anything much larger will take quite a while to fill with the MV50 and it will get pretty hot since it is not rated for 100% duty cycle. For me the big benefit of the MV50 is...
