Java's 4th gen Runner

If you don't mind, could you please take a few pics of your crossbars? I installed my awning yesterday and I'm thinking of possibly getting a roof top tent in the future. I'll need to upgrade the crossbars for sure at that point. Thank you

Your truck looks great. Im looking forward to mounting an awning and planning on adding a LED light strip to mine as well.

Great build!

Sorry guys my subscription notifications went to junk or something!

I am digging your lights with the awning. I see you are making great use of it! Makes me want to skip out of work for the rest of the week! :REOutCampFire03:

Yeah the lights turned out awesome! glad to say the sticky tape has worked great so far, even in 100+ heat.

I dotn have any cross bars anymore. I make brackets our of angle iron that attach directly to a Rola rack, then to the factory roof rails. Gained a couple inches of clearance that way. I welded the rack up too.

Thanks! The awning is awesome, it stays on year round.

Back in summer mode!

Tent got a nice new cover. Wore the zipper out on the old one...

And the advantage of leaving the basket under the tent..... Dimensional lumber (aka firewood) fits perfect under the tent!

Headed out for the weekend as soon as I can get out of work!

Did you regear with this? I am looking to build something pretty similar. What did these (low rack, bumper/ winch, lift, tires) do to the mileage?

 

[java]

No regear. And I have the 4 speed. I average about 16.5 with the tent, a little better without.

Last two weekends in the Wenatchee area.

DOT uses the tank for avalanche control

Right between Lake Wenatchee and Fish Lake

Serious route planning.

Next weekend, Northwest Overland Rally, and up by Chumstick Mountain

Transmission did not like getting up the ridge. At all.

Camp spot after hitting the rally for a couple hours. Windy on top of the ridge, but really nice spot, with great views

off for a walk

Time to go home

Stunningly gorgeous pictures and what a great experience for your little one. Good work with the thread!

*EDIT: I may need to steal that last picture for a desktop wall paper on the work computer!
