Wow, I’m absolutely thrilled about this battery stand! I’m in the process of gathering all the components for my Group 31 install, but having this first piece in hand has me buzzing with excitement! Huge thanks to Rago Fabrication for making this possible!
Solid piece of a bumper!
I’ll be honest, i don’t know if actually needed this product. Not taking chances with my Tundra bed. Had a 3rd Gen Tacoma and regretted not having bed stiffeners. These are solid and easy to install. The bad news is, i will never buy them again, will not need too. These will last longer than the truck.
Excellent product!!!
Everything is great. Rock-solid mounting solution. Fits way better than the alternatives and looks custom. The only criticism I have is that there weren’t any instructions on installing the included USB power port.
I took a risk despite Rago stating this would not work on Hybrid models. I found a few people on forums who had successfully installed it on their i-Force Max Hybrid, which gave me confidence to give it a go on my TRD ORP Hybrid. The instructions could be improved, but they were thorough enough. It didn't come with enough carriage bolts, but I called Rago, and they are sending them.
These things are perfect for hanging axes,knives,machetes, shovels. Tons of things on your molle racks
Great fit and nicely package. Easily installed with instruction.
I was a little hesitant to drill into the plastic but am glad I did. It was easy and they look fantastic. I also like the addition of the round holes. They'll make my mounts work without any special backing plates need for the rectangular cutouts.
Give more flex are confident climbing any obstacle ! 100% recommend!!
Great product, worth every penny
Installed these over the weekend along with Bilstein 5100 shocks and Perry bump stops. Haven't driven too much on them yet but can tell the suspension is going to be much improved. The hangers are very beefy and night and day from the OEM hangers.
As other have said, installation has a few challenges. Getting the old hangers off takes time, but not overly difficult with the right tools (metal blade/grinder/drill/air punch). One thing I didn't see mentioned anywhere here or in other videos is that the rear exhaust hanger interferes with the passenger side Rago hanger. I ended up cutting the exhaust hanger off and now the pipe is hanging without rear support. Seems to be ok for now but I plan to either cut my exhaust off behind the muffler or possibly buy a new high clearance exhaust. Another challenge I had was fitting the poly bushing/leaf spring into the hanger once the hanger was installed. It was an incredibly tight fit and I ended up using a combination of clamps and a mallet to coax them into place. On that note, if you are thinking about replacing your leaf springs you might as well do it at the same time as you install the hangers. No point taking it all apart again later. Finally, just be mindful of the different threads. I cross-threaded a couple bolts and nuts before realizing that the long bolts are a fine thread. Felt pretty stupid for not checking, but a trip to Ace got me squared away. As far as torque, I went 89 ft-lbs for pretty much all of the bolts except 73 ft-lbs for the U-bolts.
Now that the job is done I am loving the planted feel in the rear of the truck and can't wait to get it in some more challenging terrain once I get the exhaust dialed in.
If you have a C4 4Runner Lo-Pro Winch Bumper / 5th Gen, this tank is a perfcet fit and the bumper does not get in the way of the relocation point. The tank has great welds and the fit and finsh is 10/10. Great Product!
Product came well packed and arrived two days after it was ordered. Had to do a little file work to enable me to use the tie downs that were previously purchased. No big deal though just enlarged the hole and spray painted the groove. Excellent product, easy installation. A deep 19mm socket helps.
This product is great. The install was a little tricky but not difficult. Ended up putting tape on one side of the 11mm box end wrench to hold the nut. Very happy with the results. Quality build, super fast ship, and expert packing.
Bumper arrived within a few days and included all the hardware you need. Get familiar with the instructions before you start to save time. Definitely a half day of work from start to finish but worth it. Very happy with the quality and best part is this bumper doesn't mess up your sensors! Seamless install. I haven't purchased a light bar and winch yet but plan to add in the future!
This dash mount fits extremely well and is very low profile. Install was fairly simple just a bit time consuming.
Disclaimer - I don't have this bumper or a LC. But I just wanted to tell you guys you really hit the design outta the park on this one. Keeping most of the factory front bumper and integrating all the factory components is great. When I buy my LC used in about 6 years and give the GX470 to my son. I will be buying one of these. Nice work!
Purchased this roof rack to replace the factory rack so I could hang a large 270 awning from it. It installed fairly easily and was able to do the entire thing myself although if you have a 2nd person to help get it up on the roof it would be VERY beneficial. I used blankets and barriers to protect the car while putting it up. I found that with the t-nuts inside the tracks, using a zip tie made it much easier to slide the nut into position and also pushing the zip tie under the nut forces it it square up with the top surface so its much easier to get the bolt started without cross threading.
All in all, VERY pleased witht he product and the company in general. I'll check them out for other products as needs arise.
