Any 2015 4Runner Overland Builds out there?

[JPontheMountain]

I'm thinking about purchasing a 15' 4Runner. Want to see what kind of overland builds currently exist so I can see what's available/possible. Links to other threads are good!

Thanks all!

why are you only limited to the 2015? why not the entire 5th gen? they have made these things for more than this year.

I was mis-informed. I didn't realize the 2014 also had the new front end of the 5th gens. I'm actually curious of what people are doing to the front end of their 2014-15 5th gens. I don't want to change the stock look as I love the aggressive nature of it, but understand that compromises entry protection.

Don't people call the 14-15 T4R's a 5th 1/2 gen? Sure are nice vehicles.

I've never heard that before.

Honestly, except for a few appearance changes, there really isn't any difference between a 14-15 4runner and a 10-13 4runner. If you are set on getting a newer 4runner because you like the looks, go for what...if you want to get a 4runner and save some money, I would look at at the used 10-13 4unners...they give you the same amount of performance, but at a lower cost (got to love depreciation!).

just to be clear, you do understand the only difference between the 10-13 4runners and the 14-15 4runners is headlights, grille, facia, softex seats and blue interior lighting, right? literally nothing else is different.

I like the 10-13 more because of the front end...I don't like the 14-15 front end. At all. Not much depreciation as far as the 10-13's go.. Used with 50k on the odo is still going for mid 30's and a brand new T4R is going for high 30's into the 40's. Good deal if you're the seller tho!

I do understand this. I'm buying a 15 because it's only a few grand more than a 12-13 with 30k miles on it. As I stated before, I also love the front end of the 14-15 4R's and am looking for ideas that add a winch and/or protection to the front end without compromising the aesthetic look up front. Hope that clears things up.

Thanks all for the links! Some great builds listed.

And the emissions air pump under the hood.

Undercover is making a hidden winch for 5th gens, specifically 14-15's.

I believe XOverland has these on their '15 4Runners.

I recall that the 5th Gen weighed at least 400 pounds more than a 4th Gen with a V6

This is great! I noticed while watching the "Build" video for Expedition Overlands new season, they had mounting points or something similar also protruding from the front bumper. Any idea what they used for that?
