    Yup, another 5th gen 4Runner...but pulling a DIY expedition camper

    Hi, Ken. If you do end up locating the spare tire on the rear, I see the maker of the Gen IV trailer utilizes a "Plane Jane" swing away carrier, mounter to the frame/bumper combo. From the pic you posted above, looks to me that you have the ability to fabricate one.

    My son and neighbor walked over this evening and placed the camper top onto the truck bed for me. My son's new 4-Runner can be seen through the open camper side doors. I'm waiting on a different seal for between the camper top and truck bed. The one I have is too hard and doesn't make a...

    Been down with my back since I last posted. Early this morning, my son walked over and placed the camper top on sawhorses. He's a big boy. After lunch, he removed the inner side cabinets for me. Once I get the camper installed onto my truck and figure out where I want things. I'll then...
