On a related note... This is what happens if you lose the top nut on the shock. Was in the mountains of Idaho and found this when I hit pavement. Never felt a thing and it handled normally. In the dirt I must have lost the top nut, dropped the right front wheel and the shock pulled out and...

My 4Runner in the wild.

I have a digital scanner mounted on the ceiling. A Motorola APX8500 all band and a Yaesu dual band mounted on a stalk above the center console. A Yaesu APRS is buried in the back. All the radio bricks are mounted in the shallow compartment below the rear deck. I also have a Starlink Mini on...

I have the CBI Covert and like it. It is low key and conceals my 12000 Rough Country winch. Had a local shop install it before lunch with no issues.

Is it possible to get a hinged lid?

I too am looking for a solution because of a rack covering the shark fin antenna. I purchased a magnetic Sirius XM antenna with the intent of plugging it in the back of the Infotainment system and placing it on the dash. However when I looked at the back of the radio unit there is no standard...

I have one you are free to use but am in Simi Valley.

I highly recommend Peak Suspension in Riverside for install work. I had ordered the CBI covert bumper and a Rough Country winch from 4Runner Lifestyle when they had a sale. I knew Peak in Riverside was the SoCal rep for CBI but felt it was too far to drive for me from Ventura County. So I...

ropdykex11, I had the Rough Country 3.5 inch lift installed and that is what was replaced. Just had my winch and CBI covert bumper installed last Friday. It never seems to end.....

Toquerville Falls, Utah.

Brian, if you are ever up this way (Simi Valley) feel free to use my Carista to delete the belt chimes and make other mods. Greg
