Fuck yeah, dude...
and after 2, maybe 3 busted shins you'll get used to it being there too!
I love that it adds versatility though...
dumb question but do you kayak? That'll help load for sure.

I love how you're doing small improvements in your driveway instead of crazy mods... It's so much more elegant ans subtle!
Thanks man, I'm all about the subtle mods and making it mine

No problem man, but I don't know how I feel about the ladder mod.

It may fit the modern/off road look your 4Runner has, but it also kinda looks like a work van.

I do not, but it will help if I need to strap shit up there for sure

Agreed, I have no plans or desire to add a ladder

Yeah. You right, Majofo.


Was gon' say red or body color, but he should paint it yellow because yellow shows more dirt.


That way, he know when he need to clean it.

If it had a snorkel, it was probably driven through water... What happens to cars driven through water?

In all seriousness though it is probably super helpful to have and extremely useful. As an added bonus should someone not stop in time it should save your rear bumper as well and absolutely destroy the other cars radiator.

I should pop the hood and see how much of a shitshow it looks like under there. Post it for motivation; "don't be like this".

No to the white for sure but I think doing bronze in place of the red would be a nice accent to flow with the wheels.
