So what did you do to remove the rear brake line retainer bolt? I got them mounted and everything went great, but will have to figure out something on the rear retainer as I couldn't get anything on it.

I remember I loosened the bolt and spaced the brake line out from the frame, slightly. My memory of details of this is fuzzy. I used a little bit of rubber tubing, like fuel line, to keep the brake line from rubbing on the slider brace. Hope that helps.
I will crawl underneath my 80 and let you know what it looks like.
That rear brake line bolt for the support bracket is impossible to get to, so I just pulled out the rubber mounting plug from the bracket. This leaves the brake bracket loose, with the rubber mounting plug still attached, so I used a short piece of rubber fuel line to protect the brake line from rubbing anything. Hope this helps.
Ok cool. That's exactly what I ended up doing. Will just have to keep an eye on it but I think they'll be fine.
Thanks for doing that and letting me know what you did!
The only other thing I did is get some traction stick on tape for like RV steps. This is like very rough HD sandpaper that prevents slipping on steps. Can be bought at LOWES or maybe HOME DEPOT. I cut it into small pieces and attached them to each slider. If you have ever stepped onto a slider with slick , muddy boots and slipped, this will give your boots better traction under those conditions. My personal preference. These come in step size or tape size.
Nice rides, lucky kids. enjoy the good weather.
Was finally able to get my rear Molle panels installed as well as retrofitting power vent windows in the GX with the help of my son. This had been a long time coming but just couldn't find the time.
Those from Orange Box? Like mine.
No these are from RRW
I don't think I have seen these before. Maybe you can help me understand their function? In the one picture, it looks like you have attached a fabric tool bag sort of thing to the panel?
Molle panels are a system to attach bags and other things to. Here's a better picture of how they attach.
I have one in the 4R. I use it to put my camp table and chair on.
Thanks for the explanation. I will have to check those out in person, hopefully sometime soon!

Freaking mice doing their business as usual so a deep cleaning was needed.

Looks good! Is that something new for the 4Runner? I don't remember that you had those before. Do you have them on both sides or just one?
I've had this for a year. Only on the passenger side since the other window is blocked by the CO2 bottle.
