The Ultimate Performance Series: 9.5XP

Self Recovery Winch

 

 

Installed 2/ 26/98

959 Fog Lights. Works great in the Washington winter fog

  Extreme White wedge bulbs and H4 bulbs.  Found it to be an improvement from the Super Whites.  Still trying to determine if its better than the Hella 80/100 bulbs I have.

Update

  Although the Extreme White H4 bulbs were an improvement, they burnt out in 4months.   

Most people don't know but there is a 2 year warranty on these bulbs.  They were returned for a full refund. 

Roof Rack

Installed 12/15/02

Removed 2/28/03

Changing to the Conferr Roof Rack gave me 5 added inches of clearance than the LoadWarrior I had on.

It also has a total of 8 mounting brackets (4 on each side) that slide into the factory rails for a better weight distribution.

Locking rail riders

cross bars 

ski and bike mounts

 blah blah blah

Squeaking rack

Update 03/05/03

With all the Yakima accessories I have and the amount of use I got out of it, I decided to put the Loadwarrior back on the Runner.

To eliminate the height issue, I purchased a set of Conferr mounting brackets and used the Yakima crossbars.  Drilled holes to secure bolts through the crossbars and mounting brackets.  

This shaved 2inches between the roof and the base of the rack.

"Cover Your Backside"

February 06, 1998

PP used to carry this product.  Not sure why they stopped.  This cargo liner is made of tough, water-resistant Dupont 1000 Cordura nylon that covers the cargo area floor, side walls, wheel wells, rear seat backs and tailgate.  My job requires me to carry equipment that would otherwise scratch up the plastic in the cargo area.  I also carry three dogs in the back and the plastic is still in pristine condition
