I took it for a test drive after install and it feels fine. I notice a little more wind resistance above 55mph but it turns fine and does not feel as top heavy as it looks.

Nice progress! Truck is really coming along. Now all you need is a rear bumper! haha

Appreciate it 881stgen! I get frustrated when it's not running for one reason or another but all the hard work pays off when I get to use it for stuff like this.

Too much
Tent 900 topper 700 rack 450
As far as the rest of the truck goes I'm honestly not sure and I don't think I want to add it up. 50-100 per replacement part isn't bad but there are so darn many parts!

All these camping pics make me want to take my runner out.
How do you like that tent. I was showing those to the wife.

Really loving this build!! You have one of the cleanest 1st gens I've ever seen. I really like where you are going with this build also. The soft topper looks great!

I love the tent and so does my girlfriend. Actually the only way I can get her to come camping is to tell her we will be sleeping in the rtt.
It's pretty comfortable thanks to the built in pad (about 3") and doesn't take long to set up.
I've had a few tents collapse on me in bad wind so I invested in this tent with the hopes of it being more solid than the rest. So far so good!

I really like the fact that the tent is off the ground and looks very solid. The wife and I are trying to think of ways that we an use our 4runner to camp with our sons. So we need to figure out the best way to sleep 4 people.

I've seen some 4 person tents but they tend to be very expensive. Also my tent is about 130 lbs so I'm guessing a 4 person would be about 200-250... Might be a little heavy for the fiberglass top. Possibly a rack that mounts to the 4runner bedsides under a softtop?
