Went up to meet Blake and Steve at Front Runner this morning. Picked up another wolf pack storage box and 2 roof top bags for carrying wolf pack boxes one holds 2 wolf pack boxes and one holds 3. I also picked up a couple of sets of stratchets to strap the carriers down with. Good guys! While I was there we checked out the fitment of the foot well tank and it's a no go due to the back of the console interfering with the tank sitting flush on the floor. Bummer. Pic to follow.
That is good to know. I have almost bought that one a couple times over the past couple years.....
We need to have a get together sometime. I want to check out those wolf boxes and bags.

Yeah, it was a huge bummer. I was almost positive it would fit. That center console made it just barely not fit. Tank sat about 2 inches off the floor. Would probably just wobble back and forth while driving.... ugh.
Hopefully MK2 version of the tank (due sometime 2014) will fit the 100 and FJ (only 2 trucks I know it doesn't fit...)

Good to know! Another important question....
Any plans for upcoming Black Friday sales that you can hint towards?

Is front runner a good store? Much cruiser stuff? I will be in Burbank in a couple of weeks.
Sure. Anytime. Just let me know when. I still need to get these non ahc springs in and crank torsion bars back to normal ahc pressure.
Then I am ready to wheel anytime.

I can hint at "there will be a Black Friday sale"
If you saw it last year, It'll be better than that this year. What it will be exactly, we have not yet finalized. It'll be awesome though. You can trust me on that.
Coming down to Burbank?? You have to come to Front Runner. Would you go to Vegas and NOT go to a casino??
We are in a warehouse. So... it's not a "store" per-say but it's fun to come by, even if it's just to look at some stuff and have a cup of coffee. Swing by and hang for a bit. We're in Downtown Burb off of San Fernando.
Come check us out.

Depends on what you need. But, yes, I believe they are a good store/company.

I assume you already know, but there is more to adjusting an AHC vehicle then adjusting just the t-bars... I dont know all the in/outs of AHC because I have never had it. Just mentioning in case you didnt....
Yeah I am up to speed. Thanks though. My system worked perfect before all the load. Stiffer rear springs and adjusting the front bars (or replace if needed) until the AHC is back within factory specs will fix my issues.
I'd second that. FR is very easy to work and sells great stuff IMO.
I especially like their rack attachments and have a bunch more stuff I need to get.
In terms of Cruiser stuff, like Cappy wrote, if depends. Their racks are vehicle specific. Other stuff can be used for any vehicle.

Do the front runner tanks have internal baffling? I always wondered about listening to water slosh around right behind your seat.

I'll try to take some pics later today- after it stops snowing! I had the fabricator simply add a couple of shims- I think it was 1 1/2" on each end to take care of the "Not okay..." and it seems to work just fine. He put a couple of baffles in but it does slosh a little. Not enough to be heard over the Sirius Grateful Dead channel!
Chris- I didn't have it at Range Creek. I usually don't bother with it unless it is me,
and the dog for at least 5 days. It holds about 14 gallons and I don't want to carry that much weight unless I need to.I'll try to take some pics later today- after it stops snowing!

Snow schmoe, we want pics! Haaa looking forward to seeing your solution.
I'd like to see a water tank that attaches to the backside of the seat. I have been pondering on installing a water tank that mounts to my slider feet, and collects the water from the AC unit. Considering how much water our AC units dump out, I am sure one could collect and filter the water.
Front Runner has one or two that look like they would work, but I have an inverter mounted on the front side of my roller drawers that prevented me from test fitting and taking pics. I would have to relo my inverter to go with one of the behind the seat water tanks.
