    Choices you made at time of purchase on the website. Such as coiled or straight hose, regulator, etc.
    Thanks

    I went with 250 psi regulator and 30 foot straight hose. I like the idea of coiled hoses for storage but have had problems with them cracking over time. Analog tire inflator. Default options met my needs no need for upgrades.

    Thanks. Do you happen to know if this works with the pull out tray?
    Thanks

    Nice setup with the molle panel. Is that the Rago? I was looking at the Cali raised but waiting to install this bracket and don't think it will work. Power tank advertises the Rago is compatible with the bracket.

    I chose the caliraised because I wanted them to go lower, and when I bought them Rago had a 3 month wait.

    I used a mount that PT recommended

    I took the guard off though as it interfered with some of my other crap back there. If you can get the Rago, I’m sure it will fit better though.

    I installed an AVS Bugflector II. It took less than 10 minutes, until I noticed that it lacked sufficient clearance on the drivers side. A little twist on the hood bumper stop was enough for it to clear well. I wonder if it needs more when the frame is flexing around on the trail.

    Is your 4runner rigged for camping duty in this pic? I wish I could pack as light as this!

    Yup! That was sleep time though. I also brought a cooler, dry foods box, and camping stove as well but when I sleep I throw them up on the rack. I had my clothes behind the passenger seat to prop up my pillow since I removed the 2nd row seat bottoms.

    Not today, but a few days ago… I went out to the off-road park in Tigerton with my son. Beautiful spot in “up nort” Wisconsin. Even though we planned for a day trip, I booked a camp site anyway because of how nice it is.

    In one day, the 4runner did exactly what it was designed to do…all day long. Getting through nice technical trails in the beautiful northwoods, camp-kitchen duty, a couple of hours of slow driving on dark backroads with insane amounts of homicidal deer everywhere, followed by a couple hours of comfortable interstate cruising to get back home. The runner was also packed for camping (in case we decided/needed to). It was a long 17 hour day, but loved every single minute!!!! I love this little battle wagon!

    Finally, after a year of not having a proper wash down and a wax, the paint is deep down clean! I used one of the turtle wax brand “dry and wax” spray products with ceramic. It’s supposed to be one of the steps in their system, but this step is good enough.

    9273031E-CEDD-44EA-B898-FC2E9B8E168E.jpg

    @djwantke don’t look at my tires ;). All they got was a little scrub-down, no special attention.

    I really like that ceramic spray, although I wish the i could have done this before pin-stripe season started this year. I honestly believe that a good wax before driving through trees helps cut down on pinstripes…it improves terrodynamics lol.

    (edit: the spray also does a really good job at filling in some of the pin-stripes, at least for a few months.)

    Hoping it's a permanent high quality air solution. Just filled it up and aired down/ aired up. Crazy fast exceeded my expectations.

    It's not cheap but in the ballpark of top end fast onboard compressor. I was ready for an upgrade wanting speed and quality tool.

    I wanted to share building your own CO2 tank is an option thats much cheaper. My buddy did this and is happy with it.

    How difficult was the wiring and install? Im fine with doing the wiring myself, but some of the aftermarket electrical accessories that are out there have terrible instructions lol. have been looking at these since I put in my rear molle panel system with upper shelf. It only obstructs the top half of the rear glass but still would rather see further back. Plus I want the front cam for off roading.

    OK, took a day off. Went up to Orondo to file passport applications (Thanks, , for the tip. Much easier and a nicer window person than Wenatchee PO). Then went for a drive up the Columbia River to the Methow River. Stopped counting ospreys @ 12. At Beebe Bridge, 3 4Runners crossed while we were crossing the bridge- they weren't traveling together=just coincidence. Then up the Methow Valley past the Smoke Jumper Base, to Twisp (stopped at Cinamon Twisp, of course, for nourishment) (NO BIGHORNS PRESENT- just one bald eagle). Then north on Hwy 20 over Loup Loup Pass ("Wolf Pass" in French). Incidentally, there is now a wolf pack in that area, but we saw no signs. Back to Hwy 97 at Omak (at Stampede Hill) and home. Nice day trip! Everything was green, the pines were cool with a gentle wind and traffic was pretty light!

    Ark splash guards put in. The fit was just a little off, I had to drill out bigger holes on the splash guards so that the plastic clips could go in straight. Looks like they still have plenty of rubber to hold onto.

    Also put in RCI engine skid plate and bumper filler plate.

    I put in ARK splash guards yesterday. Very tight fit, but damn, the clips they sent are junk. As soon as one gets a tad crooked, it folds up and is useless. I'm grateful they included extras.
