TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

I don't care for a lot of the latch styles most use. They're noisy and have a lot of movement. I keep it simple with a stud on the bumper and a big, cast steel wing nut.

 

THat is how mine is too. I like it. Secure. Kind of annoying though just daily driving.

Expedition One has a new interesting latch design.

 

That wing nut is def annoying when you're opening/closing often. But it's quiet, simple and cost effective.

 

Makes sense. I don't open the back too often so it doesn't bother me.

 

Interesting. Check this latch out

I understand his reasonings, but ugh. Everyone is too freaking sue happy these days. I did learn the importance of watermarking though from MillerPKA from T4R, as his buddy took a pic of his old black 3rd gen and it's one of the most widely shared/used image. Toytec uses/used it for years. His friend was pissed because he lost out on a ton of royalties from it.

 

In all honesty, if I watermarked my photos and a company wanted to use one, they'd just not use it, take their own, and use it for free.

If I was a pro, and that was what I did for a living, I would watermark for sure. I also take shitty photos

 

Whoa weird. Anybody else notice that weird thing protruding from where the license plate used to be?

 

This was awesome in person at Expo this year. The thing protruding is camera relocation. They had a group buy on T4R and Expo deal for 20% off last month... (not sure if it is still active?) Price with discount was about $1900 when I set up cart.

 

And that ladies and gents is how you lose your rights.

 

@jberry813 thx boo.

 

Drove the 4Runner to work today for once and it hates me. Driving home it needed gas, then wouldn't start after filling it up. Quick push start and I was on my way. Then hit my turn signal with 1 single finger and this happens

 

Because you've fallen for another lover

 

Multiple

Been alternating between the Porsche and the Fiesta. But the F150 will be out here in a week. Then I'll have some decisions to make every morning

 

Woah! That's really nice.

 

That looks EXPENSIVE.
