    Great review! I have a Thule and hopefully in two weeks my GOBI will arrive. I went with the Ranger GOBI and also 60" rails so I can put the Thule and a Kayak on my 4Runner, hopefully. I'll probably do a review sometime down the road mainly because I haven't seen one done on the Ranger GOBI rack. Happy trails!

    That is the thing about the gas mileage on the 4runner and taco, if you mod them at all, you may as well get a 3/4 ton. I get 13 out of my power wagon on 37s. Still love Toyota tho :)

    Well done videos! Thank you. Hoping to some day do what you're doing here with the 4Runner. Question: how well does the 4Runner handle with the Basecamp? I guess what I mean is, obviously the 4Runner can handle it since you were doing it, but is it borderline or comfortable? I'd really prefer the 4Runner over the bigger trucks. Thanks again.

    Hi there. Great info here and very well made video! Even though your setup is quite different now, I'm hopping you can give me good advice from experience. I have a Toyota Sequoia with Gobi Stealth and I am looking for the right Thule box that will give me enough room for 2 Thule bike racks and won't cover the sunroof entirely. Am I asking for too much? Safe travels!

  • @TailsofWanderlust

    Going back in memory here but let's see! I believe it's called an "alpine" Thule box, which is the more narrow version. That may give you enough room to have the Thule on one side and bike rack on the other. Just make sure when you take measurements there's enough room to open the Thule since it pushes up and to the side.

    I own SR5 and miss 4x4 that keeps me off Off-road real fun life. Been debating between TRD off road 4runner or Tundra TRD. Looking forward to hear your though process. I want to hit more trails moving forward but heard most of the trails don't allow trucks as they are wide enough, just a thought setting me off.

    I have an older model of that Thule that got smashed when a garage attendant it the ceiling when parking my car 😡 Apparently, there is a tiny sign that states the company is not responsible for any damages... Total drag because I was leaving for a trip to Florida from NYC the next day and had to find another one quickly. It really does add lots of extra cargo space especially for things like beach umbrellas and chairs, keeping all the sandy stuff out of the car. Looking forward to your next big adventure... Keep it coming! If I had it all to do over again, I would live like you are 😊
