    Lifted 4th gen 4runners: What are you running?

    iron man foam cell front struts with performance springs, metal tech dual rate rear spring and icon vs shocks. I have the one inch spacer installed in the front, in preparation for added weight. As it sits right now it's at 4" in the front and 3.5" in the back. Installed about three months ago...

    Show us your Toyota 4runner, tacoma or truck.

    07 1gr. Iron man icon combo. Iron man performance springs, icon vs shocks. Kelly safari tires. Pretty potent combo. I'm not in to hard core wheeling, just exploring the path less traveled. This truck lets me do it in comfort. Got a few goodies under the hood too. Sent from my lifted station wagon.

    I'm getting pretty good receive from where its at right now. I'm not terribly worried about rf exposure. If I start getting weird headaches I'll move the antenna lol. Surprisingly enough, the shape of my vehicle and where the antenna is placed, I don't think its affecting signal strength much.

    I couldn't agree with you more. BUT the idea here is to have multiple options, In the event that equipment fails. A spot sat phone is also on the list. Thanks for the links.

    WarnerD9 's 2011 4Runner TE build thread

    that's what I was thinking. I may steal that idea for my build. I have the v6 but its plenty. plus the smaller size makes it a little more maneuverable on the trail. I will be following your build, and possibly stealing more ideas. (if you don't mind of course!)

    Expedition Overland 2013 Tacoma Build

    Been following the teams travels via YouTube. All I have to say is, well done. Good to see you putting those a/t's through hell, and making it out ok. Most people think you need to run a mud tire for trips like these. Safe travels y'all. Sent from my SGH-S959G using Tapatalk 2

    Flat rack for 4th gen 4runner.

    I wonder if they will offer an extended version similar to the Tacoma. One that covers more of the roof closer to the front. Or have a light bar mount... Sent from my SGH-S959G using Tapatalk 2
