Yup - so you know exactly what I mean... But Usually only 1 or 2 rigs have 35's. believe it or not the kids I roll with have 37's and up!! *zoiks*
But wait if you are rolling with heeps aren't they 6 lug while you are 5???

4runner tailgates are heavy for the simple reason that they have a giant peice of glass in them and they have the motor and mechanism for moving that glass.
honestly, for a spare tire you can easily just carry a plug kit and an inner tube. (assuming you have OBA or a powertank)

How about a spare mount that uses the exocage and holds the tire at an angle with part of it in the tailgate "tub" area and the rest of it sticking up? (Think pre-runer spare tire)
Then you would be keeping the weight somewhat low and still have a lot of cargo area, rear visibility would suffer though.

Has anybody measured the difference between 1rst gen and second gen 4runners to see if its possible to graft the fiberglass top from a first gen to a 2nd? That would be awesome. Just a thought....

(Axles, drivelines, birfs, hubs, blah blah blah). I will get rid of the 2nd gen tailgate because that thing is like 500 pounds and replace it with a taco (non window) tailgate.
4 Hummer did you canvas the back or what? I've got two months to do this before the MOAB TTORA takeover in October. This looks to be a reality as I am owed a bunch of overtime back pay...
SO Uh who in c-rado is available? What about the last weekend in August OR the 1st weekend after labor day?
Choppity Chop Chop!

As I mentioned on TTORA, I just found out my job isn;t as safe as it should be, Project on hold till I can secure I am safe. While I will have the $$ to do this I can't risk chopping and spending about $1k when I could lose my Job in the next month....
Just lettin' you guys know

Hope you get stable soon, I want more info on this, Mine is cracking or has 2 2.5" cracks going up the top on both sides of the rearwing, I think this was from my safari rack before I got rid of it, I wish I had it back though.
I like 4Hummers job and would like to do that.
