    The joint has washers on both sides that you can kind of see. Changing which side of the joint the washers is on changes the caster. Camber is still adjusted using the cam tabs. Making the spindle longer is more adjustability for camber and castor.

    Ahhhh, was wondering why it didn't go all the way forward. I see now it's because of the sunroof.

    If you have a CB radio, I turned a bottle opener into an antennae mount.

    These racks are cool. Super modular. Just wish I got the full rack. My tent takes up the whole thing.
    Actually, it would be fine to have a full rack with the sunroof, but 5th gen 4runners factory rack bolts only go as far as a 3/4 rack. You have to drill for full length.

    I got this one for a price I feel guilty about.

    Otherwise full length for sure.
