My Boomerang 1st Gen 4runner build

Looks amazing as always.
What did you use to protect the wood?

Beautiful 4Runner! And a great job on the storage and slide-outs. Looks like you'll definitely be prepared for your trip.

Thanks. We're looking forward to it.

thanks. I used rustoleum restore(outside). It's a textured stain, and really seems to do well in my application. The texture keeps everything placed on it from sliding around and looks good doing it. On the inside I just used a basic white paint to help in lower light conditions.

What rack did you use and how did you attach it?

 

[dorton]

I built it, and bolted it through the roof. I made rubber gaskets to go between the feet of the rack and the roof, then used black silicone to seal around the hole underneath the gaskets and on top where the feet set.
Its mounted at the strongest points on the top and can be stood on with no problems. I plan on using it to carry tents, clothing, sleeping bags, chairs etc...

What side lights are you running?

Awesome job, what sliders did you use, especially for the fridge (must be very heavy duty).

Thanks

Your ride is inspirational. Read every update. If you ever venture out west to CA, shoot me a PM. It would be awesome to hit the trails. Cheers!

Beauty lookin rig! I hope mine is as nice as yours one day!

Good idea with the Rustoleum Restore! I used that on my deck a couple years ago and it's holding up great. I think I'll use it on my interior as well.

Thanks for the compliments. I thought I had already updated the thread. Looks like it's been a while.

We did 5989 miles worth of highway and wheeling back in July 14. I started having drivability issues, which ended with me replacing the "new" aftermarket cylinder head in a parking lot in grand junction colorado. Work and other obligations have slowed the progress down on it. Hopefully I can change that soon.

The gen 1 4runner is perhaps my favorite rig of all time and yours is the nicest I have seen.

Love this thread.

I have a voodoo blue 1985 4runner and my 8 year old son loves it!
