    The same 4Runner everyone has
    All good points. And yes we are nuking it haha. For the most part, I never planned on strapping heavy accessories up there- no plans for a rooftop tent as I find the cons outweigh the pros. And as an irony, I ended up purchasing a Yakima cargo box for loading up gear, which I could have done with a factory rack. Ah well!

    Yes. This extension can be folded for compact storing. It took about 2 hours...

    Greetings from Flagstaff. Thanks for picking up their trash. And nice color on the T4R. I assume that's Lunar Rock?

    Well, i made the mistake of taking our '19 4Runner through a mechanical car wash Friday. Yesterday, I noticed the "shark fin" antenna wasn't sitting flush with the roofline. I attempted to push the cover back down and in place, but there is a still a gap. i suppose I will need to make a service appointment. I have read that water will get through and to the headliner if it isn't repaired. :(

    All of them.
    Are those two brackets coming off the main switch removable to where is a completely flat surface for mounting? I’m wondering if I could drill a hole and double sided tape that switch panel right under that vent. I know SDHQ makes a replacement panel for that area for a spod but not sure how it would work with this panel

    A follow-up to my satellite antenna situation. It will cost us $523.96 to repair. i take it in tomorrow. Good thing they said the roof isn't bent, so there is that. Lesson learned! My two babies...

    That is the only thing it could've been. Our garage door is a taller door than most homes. It opens completely before we back out. I went through a mechanical car wash that you stay in your vehicle throughout the process. It is so loud in there that if a slight popping sound happens, heck, I may not hear it at all. My dealership said most of the time it occurs from garage doors, but does happen with car washes. It didn't break the antenna off the roof. It dislodged the cover, breaking the hold-down tabs towards the rear of the shark fin plate that holds down the cover. I only noticed it a couple of days later. I polish and keep these two vehicles pretty clean, so i notice if something is "off" on their body lines. i sure noticed the shark fin out of place!

    Would it be cheaper / easier to do the shark fin delete with the flat cover ?

    Would I still have good SiriusXM reception? Man, i don't know how I could deal without satellite radio. We got the lifetime subscription way back in 2007, on my then-new '07 Mustang GT. The subscription transferred to my 4Runner. I do NOT miss commercials and superfluous garbage between songs, etc.

    Next up is to finish the trim and inserts around the bottom to enclose it and make it look cleaner.
