Recon1 started out as an SR5 XP. It's come a long way since that showroom floor and she still has a long way to go...

From the ground up.
- Recon1 has a Toytec BOSS lift with HD rear springs and SPC upper control arms. This with a normal daily load (150lbs) sits roughly 3.5". I adjusted the front coil-overs about 1" to better level out and match the rear height.
- It has 17x9" KMC XD128 Machete wheels w/ -12mm backspacing and 1.5" Spidertrax hubcentric spacers.
- 285/70 Cooper STT Pros
- RCI Rock Sliders

Nav and Comms
Recon1 runs dual comm systems.
- Midland 75-822 handheld CB
- Midland MXT105 GMRS
- Baofeng UV-5R V2 portable
- iPad w/ HEMA Explorer w/ a home-made mounting system
- Garmin Foretrex 401
- Diamond K400 w/ 2' Firestik antenna

Lighting
- Cali Raised LED fog light kit w/ Amber 3x2 pods
- CBi ditch brackets w/ Cali Raised LED 2x2 white pods
- Aiden James Customs 6x6 pods up top
- Bullet Proof Customs 5th Gen grill kit w/ Raptor style amber LED lights

Up top
- Frontrunner Slimline II roof rack
- Hi-lift jack
- Foxwing 2.1 awning with sidewall
- 2 GoalZero Boulder30 charging a Yeti 150
- Smittybuilt Element Ramps
- 2 Cabelas 36" storage boxes. Tools, recovery, etc.
- Gobi ladder

Much more to come one day...

Good looking Runner.

 

[ReconOverland]

Thanks fellas. I still would like to get a full rear bumper and all.

There is a thread on here with a dude that built dual swing outs using factory bumper on his 4Runner. It almost looks factory, almost.

Oh yea! Is the "the adventurous mind" or something like that?! I think I've seen it. Looks really really good!

 

[Justin Forrest]

Yep that's it. He did a great job. I sent a link to it to a buddy that wants something similar on his GX.
