  I'm doing similar to my 17 4runner. Full bumper, Badlands Apex winch, no lightbar. Already have CBI skid plates so I hope they match up fairly seamlessly. I have 3 friends to help, all named Jack. Floor Jack, lol. CBI rear bumper (no swing outs) too. I'm planning to do it during 2 week vacation (staycation)

  What is the gap measurement at the rear / between the cover and the rear lift gate?

• 
  @sunroomstudios848717 күн бұрын

  I just measured it and with that angled flap level, there’s a 2” gap to the tailgate. The last 7” is an angled flap that tilts downward unless you have enough gear to hold it level with the rest of the retracting cover. It’s still holding up well and I’ve stacked guitars, shovels, traction boards, etc on top of it.

  Good tips. Slightly off topic question. Who makes the case on your roof rack, Pelican, Harbor Freight...? I was talking to an overland at Home Depot a few weeks ago. He said his was from Harbor Freight. He also said he keeps an ax, shovel etc in it. I've seen several over landers with a case like that on their roof racks.

  Thanks for a very detailed video.... It made my installation soooo much easier :-).... I believe that the two special screws that come with the kit for each side should go together where the bar overlaps the shield, instead of putting one on each side of the bar. It makes sense, because this is the only area where the original screws are not long enough to grab sufficient thread.

•

  You don’t really need to install one for the front. The front breather is on the drivers side, but is already elevated to the level of the air intake, so unless you’re going through water above your floorboards, you don’t need to extend the front. It’s difficult to reach anyway. I’m not sure why the rear is so low compared to the front, but all I did was the rear. Thanks for watching! I appreciate it!

  @@sunroomstudios8487 I can see the airflow advantage over other brands. Any chance it allows you to access the bolts that secure the winch?

• 
  @sunroomstudios8487Ай бұрын

  The plate appears to be removable but would require some manipulation. That would allow access to the mounting bolts for the winch, but there’s no chance that winch is coming out without taking the entire bumper off. I don’t see a real reason for this other than possibly an easier manufacturing process.

  In my 2007 Tacoma, I ran the wires and tried to replicate your method but no power to the light bar but the switch had power. I also tried multiple mutations but no luck. The aftermarket switch I had is exactly what you had. So I don’t know what I did wrong. I tested out the wiring harness to make sure I don’t get a defective one by using a switch that came with the light bar (exactly in your video) and it worked; however, no luck the other way around. I use the cigarette lighter fuse slot. Any suggestions sir?

• 
  @sunroomstudios84872 ай бұрын

  That's frustrating. Let's try to isolate the problem. Sounds like you tested the wiring harness and it worked fine, which would include the fuse along the red wire. I'm sure you also checked all connections again, including the battery terminal for corrosion. Are you using the cigarette lighter fuse with an add-a-fuse for constant switch illumination with the yellow wire? The switch should be able to work without this, so you could try that. Also double check the cigarette lighter fuse, and also the in-line fuse in the green wire. The cigarette light fuse is only on when the key is on. You also already checked your light bar, so that's not the issue, as long as it's within the rated amps for fuses (15 amp). After checking all of this, verify secure wires going into the clip that plugs into the switch. If all of that checks out, then it's likely isolated to the switch. If you're using the same switch I did, contact the seller and I'm sure you'll get it replaced. I've contacted them before and they're great to work with. Hope that helps! Good luck!

  thanks for the great video. Quick question. i am not going to leave my winch control plugged in all of the time. Can you reach the plug in from the hole in the bumper underneath? i saw you reach your hand up to demonstrate how you could mount a pod light later if you wanted to and im wondering if the hole on the other side will provide access to the winch.

• 
  @sunroomstudios84872 ай бұрын

  I can’t reach the winch wire control plug from the bumper access holes and could only reach it from the top by opening the hood and removing the plastic cowl cover. I wasn’t going to do that every time, so I left it plugged in. So far keeping it plugged in and running the wire into the cabin works just fine! If you have a wireless winch, then you don’t need to worry about plug access, only as a backup if the wireless fails. I guess another option is to relocate the winch control box to a more accessible location, but then you need to worry about mounting that securely somehow. If your winch is wired only, Harbor Freight makes a wireless controller adaptor that turns wired winches into wireless. Good luck and thanks for watching!

  Are you eventually going to paint the front valance black? I have the same exact 4Runner and can’t stand the silver valances. I have a blackout kit for the emblems but haven’t installed yet. I’ve also been trying to find some budget running boards to help the dogs get in the back seat. Some of the ones I’ve found have holes on the steps and I know sooner or later one of the dogs will rip off a toenail. Nice job, keeping modifying until you get it perfect for your needs.

• 
  @sunroomstudios84873 ай бұрын

  I didn’t worry about painting the front valence because I recently installed a CBI front bumper. I made a video on that if you’re interested. Couldn’t be happier with it! After removing the front valence, I personally wouldn’t go through the hassle of removing it to paint it. I’d just mask it off well and spray it in place. I always thought the silver valences were an eyesore. I haven’t done emblem blackout yet. I kind of like the topo or carbon fiber texture to be a bit different. I see what you mean about the running boards and the risk of getting a dog leg or paw wedged in it. I guess you could keep a traction board in your back and use it like a ramp. Dual purpose.
