What have you done to your 5th Gen 4Runner today?

Finally got a drive by video. My son came over the gmrs and was like dad slow down for a second. https://youtu.be/wOGnd5u2V7c
The whole family spent the day playing at nemos tunnel in Wartburg TN

 

Looks like an awesome time! what brand is that table with the telescoping legs?

 

I know, I know, worthless without pics, and I will post just as soon as I stop and get some in daylight, it was a busy weekend. My Uptop Overland Bravo arrived on Saturday. It shipped 8 weeks to the day +2 of ordering and in time for our annual trek to OBX 4x4 area. My son plays hockey and for the last three years has played AAA but for some reason he was cut this this year and had AA tryouts and he also had the state lacrosse tournament this weekend. So in between delivery, ice rink and lacrosse fields I was able to assemble and put the Bravo on with his help. Fortunately he got the nod for AA after the first session and after going to one of our favorite restaurants to celebrate and getting some of the best churros for dessert we got home and put the rack on. What a piece of engineering, super happy with it. Sunday was out to fields and once home I got the light bar aligned and installed the Auxbeam 8 gang switch. It's a cheap switch pro and it works great. It'll hold me over until I get around to getting an sPod. My wheels will arrive Thursday and Belle Tire has my Toyo Open Country AT III waiting.

 

No telescoping legs, they screw on:

Awesome, thanks! I like the height of that table. My wife has been wanting a second table for prepping meals on and that should work out well.

 

got it washed on friday afternoon.
was running behind schedule so i installed my rhino rack fishing rod holders friday night in the dark while drinking beers, thats how easy it was! drove to LBI saturday am and was happy that they did not add wind noise with three rods up there at 80 MPH. no pics, FAIL!

 

This is so true in many things you get what you pay for. Sorry about your luck

 

I have the knock off pro grill on mine. Fit like stock, whole job was done in less than 30 minutes.

 

Uptop Overland Bravo

 

How is the noise from that on the interstate?

 

Curious as well.

That's the most interesting looking wind fairing I've seen so far.

 

Negligible, their design is pretty unique and there's a video I found prior to purchase (I think it was an install on a Taco) where they talk about it briefly and how the design works much like the design Toyota intended and not creating small gaps under that air doesn't create noise. I drive an interstate to and from work daily and I do have a heavy left foot. Between lacrosse Sunday which was a good trip from the house and back and forth to work today, I can honestly say it wasn't any louder in the cabin. I listen to sports programs or podcasts mostly and the volume level was the same as always

 

Thanks, this is the rack Ive pretty settled on.

 

I went back and forth between this and the Sherpa. I felt they were both quality products, both company's responded to emails quickly and they both seemed to offer a quality product. It really was a coin flip, I am 100% happy with my purchase and the product I received

 

I ordered a Bravo in early May. Can't wait to get it installed along with the sliders, lift, wheels and tires in Mid July. Thanks for the report on your experience with it so far!

 

I think I’m going to Chet this one out

 

any interference with the TSS with your bull bar? If not who makes the one you have? Thank you

 

Hell yeah man. Enjoy every single second of this. What book does he have going?

 

Mines the warn bumper but I had the hoop cut off and a local fabricator cut the hoop off and made me a new one. But to answer the question yes it interfered

 

Blackouts arrived today and installed by 12 year old, he helped with the sequential turn signals but I don't have video of them. All from 4RunnerLifestyle..Also installed it the Ironman 4x4 2.5x2.5 awning so I could ride with it for a couple days in case I needed to make any adjustments

 

Shrockworks front bumper & smitty built winch. ADS suspension with total chaos UCAs & rear links...picked her up & drove straight to Austin to hit trails at Hidden Falls

 

Nicely done!

 

I always knew...

 

Thank you

 

My favorite mod!!!

 

Thanks! I really hope by doing these outings he’ll grow to appreciate them and understand how important they are. My hope is that one day he will do the same with his kids.

Its one of those all things Pokemon books. He and his friends at school have hit the Pokemon stage. He loves reading so as long as he’s reading, my wife and I are happy.

 

I am looking @ that awning. So I have a few questions besides your initial thoughts.
1. Factory roof rack?
2. Did you get the room attachment?
Thanks & looks great,
Ryan.

 

Haven't done much aside from the daily commute to and from work here lately.

I'm also thinking it's time to contact RCI and see what's up. Still waiting on the Transfer Case and Gas tank skid plates I ordered, and it's past the timeframe listed on their leadtime page.

 

If you had different crossbars with the factory rails I would say yes to the smaller one. It would take some craftiness and some drilling to mount the brackets to the factory crossbars. I didn't get the room but did get the shade that goes on the end

 

Doh!



It was faster to just get a tug, then deal with the winch, or traction boards. Buddy of mine stuck his XJ just to the right of me. His nephew in a 4th gen 4Runner pulled him out. I decided to go around, should've taken the grass instead of playing in the mud.
