I love exploring in my Toyota 4Runner, but I needed to secure my gear better! So I installed a roof rack from LFD Off Road and MOLLE panels (rear window and rear hatch) from ‪@Victory4x4‬! These mods are great and easy to install. Come along as I show you how to install them and my thoughts using them off road.

When I installed the fender flares on my Tundra I bought some 1 inch 3M clear vinyl tape to go between the paint and the flare. Anything not directly bolted to the car, like the front roof fairing, is gonna vibrate and rub but the vinyl is a cheap sacrifice. Bring it over and I'll buff it out 😁 Now I need to convince my darling that her 4Runner roof rack needs an update 😄

@JasonExplainsThings 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the advice. A very good idea for the future. I think most of the scratch would buff out except for one tiny spot were the paint wore all the way through. I need to touch it up soon.

Keep the 4Runner videos coming! I remember in a past video you gave a shout out to a KZfaqr and mentioned that you were copying them. Well guess what, I’m copying you. Tires ✅ LFD Bars ✅ RTT ✅ Can’t wait for the flooding and bizarre weather to stop so we can finally get out and start exploring with our 4Runner. Thanks for putting out such great content!!!

Wrap the spacer in electrical tape! But yea Victory should just powder coat them like the panel itself.

I've had several 4Runners, the latest is a 2022. Why they use the crappy plastic in the cargo area just amazes me. No matter how hard I try, sooner or later it just get's scratched up. And it doesn't take much pressure to mess them up.

@JasonExplainsThings 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, I see what you’re saying. Adding the panels has definitely been beneficial already… even for just daily use.

Ive been wanting to do a roof rack on my '21 ORP but ive seen mixed opinions on that they screw up your Sirius XM reception. Do you know if this is true or not?

You can turn those white spacers black by using RIT dye too!

@dubprocesslbc Жыл бұрын

For their side interior window molle, do they offer different options for the driver/passenger or are they compatible with both sides? I only noticed one on their website for the 5th ten 4runner so I am assuming itll work on both sides.

@JasonExplainsThings Жыл бұрын

They're compatible with both sides.

Your green first aid bag on your side rack. Where did you get that?

@JasonExplainsThings 2 жыл бұрын

I found it on Amazon I believe. Sorry don’t have a link because I’ve had it for years.

@BeachBow 2 жыл бұрын

It looks like the forward/lower bracket blocks the space used by the cargo cover? So no cover if you use the side racks?

@JasonExplainsThings 2 жыл бұрын

That’s a good question. I didn’t buy the cargo cover so I’m not sure if it’s blocked or not.

Hey, dumb question but, where do you get the hooks/straps to hook items to your Molly panels?

All over really. Some are probably from amazon, others from the hardware store. Just simple velco straps.

Have the LFD cross bars faded with time? Asking for those of us who park under the sun pretty much all year round.

@JasonExplainsThings Жыл бұрын

We park it inside at night, but haven't noticed any fading. There have been a few little pitted spots that had surface rust that I've touched up.
