Any suggestions on locations and methods for transporting a long gun (rifle or shotgun) in your 4Runner?

Preferably a smart place and way to strap it down or lock it into place, while it's in a carry case (hard or soft).

Pics too, if you have them, would be great.

Thanks!!!

 

I always carried mine right tucked up behind the rear seats. In the case they fit perfect between the side walls. Both my deer rifle and my 12 gauge fit there taught, due to a perfect fitting cases. Never had to strap down. My buddy built a mount to mount them to the back of the seats in his 2nd gen 4runnner. Works with seats up or down. Sort of a strap system to retain different size gun bags.

 

i just kinda stand them up on top of all my other junk when i go hunting

then, when im in the woods wedge it between seats and console

 

Second that. I put mine right behind the back seat. My shotgun, and other rifles all fit fine back there. They might move around a bit, but never enough to need a rack or anything.

 

I lay my rifle on the back seat on top of my clothes. I carry a single shot 20Ga daily that is tucked beside the passenger seat and console. My pistol is just randomly placed on the seat, door pocket or a good place is the 4wd shifter boot. Cabellas has a coolceiling mount for one or two guns. I want one but with a sunroof it wont work, i my 4runner anyway. here a pic of the deer i killd this year if anybody cares.

 

holy smokes dbcx. thats a big deer. my brother killed one that looks about identical to that one. how are big those g2s on that bad boy. look about 12inches. i shot a 3 pointer 2 saturdays ago and couldnt find it. then my buddy was huntin up there yesterday and found the stupid thing 2 ridges over from where i shot it. heres the deer my broher and dad killed. sorry for gettin off subject bush pig

Those are nice man. Your close his G2s were almost 13. He is considered a huge deer here. I killed him Outside of Augusta,Ga...You know "the Masters" Golf thing we have every year.For my area he his really big. I was getting down had my orange on and was like 3 foot off the ground, he was about20 yards walking right toward me. Looke at your pic again..Dang my deer is alsmost that deers twin

 

Good place to keep the gun is right beside you. Nice deer pics folks! kinda makes me a little jealouse.

 

Seriously. Its all about tucking the M4 in between the center console and the passenger seat. Makes a good conversation piece for any new passengers...
