If you need measurements it’s easy. The base is 33 3/4 x 41x 1/4. The boxes you’ll want 33x however wide for the bottom and 31x whatever width for the top. The reason for the shorter top is so that it doesn’t hit the seat tops and still be able to recline the seats if you’re into that.

for the sides each side piece is cut at 21” x 31

Thank you sir!

Nice looking and well setup rig Adam. Some of the modifications such as the dual battery and onboard air is something I would like to do in the future when I get my 4 Runner. My plan is to have mine a fairly lightweight build. It's amazing at how customizable these are.

I'm running with a Viar portable compressor and dual battery in my current vehicle. It blows me away on just how much I utilize my aux battery when ever going camping or to the cabin.

Thank you for sharing your build and detailed pics here. Much appreciated.

No problem at all and thanks for the like. My rig is more on the heavy side but I am slowly working things out on that by switching from steel to aluminum on places that make sense (under armor). My drawer system is roughly around 75-85 lbs empty but of course that won’t last long on the empty side.

Not very much in the ways of updates since almost everything major is on hold for the rear bumper to be delivered.

main things to note. Ordered the dobinsons ims kit for the front from @Crikeymike today so the 6112’s and king springs will be coming off.

Ordered the dobinsons snorkel Monday and plan to install tomorrow (be on the lookout for the install pics)

Picked up the OVS 180 awning a few weeks ago and still haven’t had good enough weather to really get to use it.

Added the midland gmrs mxt275 inside the empty cavity of the center console and put a rj45 plug in the front to be able to keep things clean and out of the way when daily driving.

started working on the shower port and making some dividers for the dobinsons drawers earlier this week. And tomorrow the dfg tilt slide should be here. (Can’t install until the bumper is here and on since I don’t know if the fold down tables will interfere with the fridge sliding out. Other than that I think that’s a wrap for now.
Here’s how she’s sitting currently.

Hey, not sure if you are still around here but came across your post. I just installes the OVS180 on my LFD crossbars and can't clear the hatch. Did you have any problems with that? I guess it depends a lot on the roof rack installed. Nice rig btw.

Still lurk from time to time since my wife still has hers. I did have an issue with the 180 and the gobi hitting the hatch but not enough to deter from using it. All I did was put some felt padding on the awning where it hit the hatch. It still worked just fine. When I switched to the rtt my awning attached to it and everything was perfect.

Much appreciated. I think the LFD bars just pull the awning mounts too far towards the roof. I ordered shorter hatch struts today and hope that will work. Thanks again
