4runner hunting/camping rigs?

[timber_ghost]

Anyone have a solid 4runner setup for extended camping and hunting trips? I have a 2020 trd pro and am debating between selling it and getting a full size truck or building it out to make it more comfy for extended camping and hunting trips. Right now for elk hunting, I will sleep in a tent and use a hitch rack to carry my biggest cooler that's roughly 150qt. My other two coolers and gear go inside. If I keep it, I would add a battery system with a fridge, a rear drawer system, including a kitchen drawer, and then either a sleeping platform inside or a rooftop tent. Would love to see photos of other 4runner hunting rigs

I don’t have a 4runner but I do have a GX470 that I camp with.

Mine has a set of Dobson drawers and I can sleep inside if I choose to. Normally I carry a cooler, Chuckbox and a table in the back. On the roof rack is my recovery gear and a Thule bag with soft goods.

The shelf on top of the drawers usually gets taken out for longer adventures.

Both our son and I have GX460’s with gofast SuperLite rooftop tents. For 1 hunter and their gear( or husband/wife) it’s a slick setup.
I also have a 2001 Land Cruiser the tent would work well with.

I saw a guy on YouTube remove his passenger front seat to make a bed platform. I may try this in my grand Cherokee, I like staying mobile and rarely use my tent, it should make it easier as I can keep a few more things inside at night.

I have a stowaway hitch box, it’s great but pricey, but lucky and found one on Craig’s list. It swings open for accessing tail gate, I did drill new holes in the base so it does open with the box closed.

I have a small INNO roof box as well, it’s easy to remove when not in use.

I installed this cargo tray which keeps all of my gear stored tight and out of the way. Not pictured, but I have an inflatable mattress designed for this particular model and fills out the gaps between the folded rear seats and the front seats. It has 2 independent air chambers so I can just inflate 1 side or both. Everything is a compromise, but I like this system. My 4Runner has the 3rd row seating, which you probably don’t want. I’ve never once even raised those seats. Contemplated removing them for more storage space.

I have settled on a platform (took out the rear seats) and just recently added a thule cargo box which I like for extra gear.

4runner is the perfect solo hunting rig when built out properly. My dad works with wood and was an easy project to make the sleeping platform/drawer. Definitely worth taking out the rear seat bottoms
