CVT Mt. Mckinley (Mt. Denali extended) roof top tent. Only used 5 nights (3 weekends). Always put away dry and stored inside when not in use. The tent is in excellent like new condition. We’ve never used the annex. There are two entry ladders and doors along with a divider that can be installed...

FWC sadly doesn't offer a flat bed shell.

The 1FZ/auto is faster off the line. That's pretty much the only pro of the 1FZ over the 1HZ. I've never driven a 1FZ with a 5 speed though. Yep, it was definitely worth it :smiley_drive:

Rumpig, The 1HZ is still in production today so it's much easier to source in like new condition. The 1HZ is all mechanical so no electronics to fail or source. Parts are available in the US since the 1HZ is common in mine and military cruisers. The 1HZ is better for WVO too if I decided to go...

Some in use pictures

The main goal of this design was to waste as little space as possible. The sides are 18gauge sheet metal with 1x1 aluminum angle along to top to fasten the platform. Roller bearings are sunk in the square tube for the drawers to roll on. Compared to conventional drawers slides this didn’t use...

The Tcase shifter is move back and closer to the transmission shifter. Stock the transmission shifter was too close to the dash so I angled it back and toward the driver. I’ll redo the console shifter cover area at some point. The rags are temporary sound deadening. The bottom row of...

I threw the exhaust together the night before we left on our trip (why the hangers aren’t painted or cleaned up). I’m really happy with how it turned out. The exhaust is quiet with the windows up. The prebent mandrel 3” tubing and an aero turbine muffler came from mandrel bending solutions...

The Fuel filter is mounted to the LX450 charcoal canister. The water in fuel sender trips the OBD check engine light. Down the road I want to upgrade the fuel filter set up and add a fuel heater. That's the Hellroaring isolater mounted on the battery box. EFI fuel pump removed and Webasto fuel...

Webasto I love this thing! The heater core outlet goes to the webasto inlet. The webasto outlet is “T” to the heater core inlet on the 1HZ and to a valve to the heater core inlet. This allows the Webasto to heat either the engine and heater core or just the heater core. The rear heat switch...

The clutch pedal assembly and master cylinder is from a LDH euro 80. After drilling two bolt holes in the fire wall it all bolted up. The pedal is spring assisted. The springs are too strong for the smaller slave cylinder on the R151 trans resulting in no pedal feel/effort. I would assume it...

I posted this swap on mud awhile back but figured expo might find it interesting/useful too. Hopefully this thread will help if you’re considering a 1HZ/D swap. I swapped a 1HZ with a safari turbo kit, R151 transmission and split tcase into a LX450. I’ve put over 9000 miles on the truck...

I got to get this out of the garage. Someone has to have a use for it.

It comes in handy when your not camping too... :friday:

This sleeping platform bolts down to the factory seat mounts and rear tie downs. No modifications to the 4runner are necessary. Just unbolt the rear seats and the carpet in the cargo area. I used generic sized plastic tubs for rear storage. It uses less space, weighs less and is more...
