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

Geez, you and the PNW. Breaking all sorts of heat records.

 

Starboard? Or any HDPE material....
Acrylic plexiglass
PVC foam board

 

You think that will hold up more than 1/8 aluminum ? Because I was thinking of calling the metal shop tomorrow and getting them to cut me a 8”x43” piece and bring it home and round it off and bend it to fit

 

These look good, source for them?

 

@newlife
I have a NiseRack system and I rigged up a windscreen with 1/4 inch aluminum plate. It’s sturdy, but in addition to attachments at both ends, it still needed support in the middle. The wind pressure is pretty strong at 75-80 MPH. The flexing and flutter will hit the roof and remove paint. It took some fine tuning with jig saw and file to perfect it.

 

Sorry to hear you didn't make it to rausch creek, was looking forward to a recap...would still love to organize a trip up there in July with everyone who was responding
1080 snowboard was amazing but it also got too easy, like tiny hawk too easy(ebike would maybe get old?...)
the sliders will come in handy n protect something more precious n costly then games n a ice blue game system(they as well as an ebike will have their glitches, sliders, beefie ones, lifetime fun n use)
Think they look great, you learned a bit(I had to tap every hole for my 4xinnov sliders n the paint got weird on the frame contact as well)

Don't let it get you down n crack on
Damn the man, save the empire

 

Just be careful and protect your paint with whatever you decide to put up for a wind deflector. Obviously I assume you will put Foam but I am talking about 3M clear paint protector (3M Scotchgard Clear Paint Protection Bulk Film Roll 6-by-84-inches

Correct. I’ll be adding some flat black 3m vinyl underneath it. Only doing the black because I’ve see the clear turn yellow after a little while.

 

^^^yup yup

Aluminum would be great, just more pricie but if your gonna sell the rack once the new one comes in, probably worth while

I've seen people use the starboard for a lot of things exterior being marine material it's pretty tough but if you consider the bending I think your on the right track
If you mimic other fairings, bent or not, there's right center left support(or better be)

As for the foam, there was someone who's gobi foam died out n they wouldn't tell him what it was or sell him a new one, something or other n he used something similar to a door guard(stronger/cheaper), ill look for it(saved somewhere)

 

I really like the look of this setup. Have any night pics of the lights in use?

 

Had the Sprint Booster in my BMW and loved it. Wish I would have kept it so I could have used it in the 4Runner.

 

Found out my 4Runner has a custom Oreo holder. Pretty sweet. I should probably clean the console, too.

 

No, it’s a venture. The lower valance came like that.

 

Yes from rago fab

 

I had a similar issue with my pedal commander except I also lost my multi function control I took it to Toyota because it wouldn’t clear after several battery resets and they reset something. I sent the pedal commander back.

 

I don't think it would have worked, I believe they are vehicle specific as far as the plugs go.

 

Try cleaning with whole milk

 

Did a 3 hour trail ride yesterday with the Mark Twain Mafia.
Couple short under a minute videos:

Was hoping to get the driver side front tire in the air but no luck. Stuffed the driver side rear tire.


Group:

 

Here's my Bravo w/ the same light bar

 

Thanks. Can you post some pics installed?

 

Swapped my rear garnish/hatch panel, whatever it's called, to a color matched one with black emblem overlays (from: runnin4tacos) verses the black with chrome letters. Funny how the chrome "4Runner" wasn't straight/level from the factory. Only issue I had was adding some extra weather stripping inside the garnish when re-installing.

Before


After

 

Playing with pasties on my knobs... trying to match the AC knob.

 

you got a link to how you removed the black sombrero part? I have a bolt/plastic fastener that came loose on mine that I fished out through the hatch grab handles
Need to reinstall

 

Did the top bar delete on the pro rack. Thanks to Tom for the detailed instructions and quality kit.

 

Looking good!
The Lunar Rock has soo many shades. I love that color.
Ryan.

 

Hm..black sombrero part?

 

Man, that looks really good. How was the installation?
