    Haven't thought of a price for it yet. I'd like to find someone wanting it all as a package going to an ARB bumper.

    Pongo was treated to a 20" KC HiLites Flex light bar for the CBI Off Road bumper, and some new front flares.

    Any chance you've been able to contact the shop that did the hood vinyl about making a few more? I'm sure a lot of members on TW would be interested in just buying the vinyl and installing themselves!

    Hey, not sure if this was discussed, but what version of the allpro rack fits over the softtopper? I have a Bestop and I would love to run this setup. Thanks,
    Matt

    It was their "Pack Rack" high version.

    The guy basically free-handed it. I had asked him if he would be interested in making some, and didn't sound too enthusiastic about it. I'll ask again.

    I'll get some, and post them up.


    I reinstalled my UHF/VHF Comet SSB5 antenna using the tabs I asked @CBI Offroad Fab to install on the bumper while they were building it.

    The KC HiLites 20" Flex bar is very bright. The fill, and throw from the bar is impressive. I have both the signles that are mounted on the ditch light brackets, and the 20" bar
    wired, so that they are armed by individual switches, but can be turned on/off with the high beam function of the factory lights. It allows you to kill the additional lights
    quickly without having to take your hands off the wheel to hunt the switches. Then, you flick the high beams back on, and they illuminate immediately.

    Pongo was changed up again this weekend. This time from the black TRD Pro wheels to....
    [​IMG]
    http://www.varrstoen.com VTX Off Road wheels in their bronze Terra's.

    I'm really loving the change. Wheels can do so much for a vehicle, and these definitely stepped up
    the attitude of Pongo.

    And a shot of one of out camp setups.

    I love keeping up with Pongo- found this first on expeditionportal. Planning on selling the 4Runner Pro wheels? I'm actually planning on the exact same wheel/tire/lift combo you had going on and would be interested if the price is right

    Currently the plans are to install them on my wife's 4runner. I'd rather put that toward some 4.88 gears.


    I got a chance to get out take some pics while on my way out into the woods for a weekend of camping.

    Sorry to keep poking you- with the all pro pack rack/softopper setup, how did the rack itself actually mount? Do those drill into the sides of the bed? Also, are you still running your factory UCAs? Any issues doing alignments or rubbing at any point?
