    Like them alot more than I thought I would. Right now I have a shitty trail gear tube bumper but plan on going CBI hybrid (one pictured) or 4xinnovations as my next big purchase

    4Xinnovations will be a dual swing out...

    Very jealous of this

    Nice. I dig the dual swing. It's nice but I would love to have a flip down table. I think I'm gonna get Frontrunner's table system down the line if they have another sale to fill the void haha.

    I really want a dual swing out to help with my bike rack. One swing would have the tire/hilift. The other would be a ladder, extra hitch, rotopax, etc

    it's low on my list of things, but I'm eventually going to outfit my rear bumper a bit more. Right now it's got 3 gallon gas roto, full size spare, cb antenna, and dust/camp light.

    Coming up is maxtrax mounted to spare, 2 gallon storage roto on top of the the gas can (was gonna do water but I keep water inside with me or in the cooler), a trasharoo, and a spare tire ladder. Should be pretty solid.

    I hope to do it right all at once. Even if that means spending more than I'm comfortable with. It'll be the most expensive accessory I've added and I don't want to cut any corners with it

    Smart. I got the bumper just how I wanted it, just adding accessories as I go.

    With my tacoma I cut corners and bought crappy parts to replace with better parts down the line and it just ends up costing more money and being a hassle. With the 4runner, it is fun to get everything buttoned up the first time. Even if it takes a bit of saving to get it there.

    If anyone has a line on a decent condition 3rd gen for sale in any of the state connected to Wyoming let me know. Trying to find one as a cheaper extra vehicle with room for the family.

    Just called my local truck stop to see what they can source a safari snorkel for. They are pretty good guys. Always get me a good price on parts.

    I'm slowly fixing all the mistakes I made as it's been the first vehicle I've actually built. Rear bumper is the last thing, mines not ugly, it's just not that pretty

    Ever talk to the guy? Think it was up forsale about a year ago

    @dtaco06 the snorkel won't work with my CAI will it? I'm gonna have to source a factory air box along with the snorkel? or does it come with one?
