To windy to make a video of what I did. I used two 2" x 1" 5 foot long square tubing as rails, bolted it down with bolts and u bolt clamp plate. one at each corner, I'm also going to ad 2 in the middle. I can get up on it and jump without any sign of stress. I'm 245 pounds so i think that says a lot. The roof rack will be welded too the rails but its just bolted at the moment.

I like the lightbar, looks like it makes a huge difference! The roof rack looks plenty beefy! A roofrack is on my long list of things to do, just trying to decide how I want to mount it, it would be nice to be able to switch back & forth between a hard top and a soft top without having to remove the rack.
Look forward to your video, keep up the good work!

Oh I see. I didn't realize it was body lift. What length is your lightbar? I had the same tube bumper but it rusted through, so I cut the top off and welded it to a steel beam. I like the way the light bar looks! And its definitely useful with these dim lights!
Know a good place to get them cheap?

24in is what mine is. I suggest making your own mounting brackets. http://www.ebay.com/itm/400759317154?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT$83.99
You could also get Rigid Industries but there insanely priced.

I'm thinking about a 4th gen 4runner. I'm heading to collage in June and I love the look of the 4th gens. My 1st gen is amazing but I need something a little newer. I've owned old school rides throughout high school, I think its time for a change.
