Overland exploration goes back hundreds – if not thousands – of years, but the niche really flourished when vehicles joined the scene, and more noticeably when Toyota launched its sturdy trucks and SUVs. If you’re an avid off roader and happen to be a Toyota enthusiast, you must have some amazing 4Runner off road stories to share.
Although the Toyota 4Runner comes well-equipped for adventurous driving from the factory, there are a few mods you could add to your very capable SUV and make the 4Runner off road worthy.
For example, Beaver Built has a rugged and customizable trailer in their inventory that you could get to enrich your Toyota 4Runner off roading endeavors. Additionally, you could also get a rooftop tent and luggage organizer for more comfortable 4Runner off road trips.
Let’s have a look at these accessories as prime ways to make your 4Runner off road trips that much better!

People usually get trailers or campers, and after a few years, when they upgrade their cars, they either get bored of them or have to get rid of them for a more compatible product. Well, Beaver Built played very smartly here.
Instead of building an aluminum box, they designed a modular trailer that’s robust and gives you a lot of freedom to modify the trailer as per your requirements or to fit your new SUV.

Wherever your 4Runner off road adventures take you, the Beaver Built Wapos trailer will accompany you there. Even on the roughest trails, the trailer’s galvanized chassis with all-aluminum manufacturing will give you sturdy performance alongside your Toyota 4Runner.
The trailer also comes equipped with Cruisemaster CRS2 1.6-ton dual-shock suspension and 15” vision wheels wrapped in Yokohama tires. It boasts a departure angle of 37o; it doesn’t let any hurdle stop you from embarking on that adventurous journey. The powder-coated anti-slip surfaces and tons of adaptability to match your 4Runner off road needs are nice features, too.

First things first – a trailer is only as good as the gear and accessories it can carry, and despite its compact size, the Beaver Built trailer has a very generous 43 cu-ft of space for all your 4Runner off road storage needs.
The large rear rack has a huge table top for cooking and pantry needs. There’s also a roof rack with 3-inches of adjustment freedom. Whether it’s your gear or rooftop tent, the rack will steadily hold the gear you need to bring on your adventures.

Top Ideas to Make Your 4Runner Off Road Adventures Fun and Comfortable
We already have a great trailer to help us conquer tough terrain and enjoy beautiful landscapes in a Toyota 4Runner.
Now let’s make those trips more comfortable and organized by adding a couple of accessories to the mix.
A Rooftop Tent
With the Yakima SkyRise rooftop tent, you can enjoy a long, comfortable sleep after a hectic hike on your trip. This waterproof tent comes with a door and two mesh windows to keep the elements away while you relax and stretch on the top of your Toyota 4Runner.
Available in different sizes, it could house up to three people, apart from carrying your bedding, clothes, and gear that you frequently need when you’re Overlanding.
A Trunk Organizer
Whether it’s a toolkit, clothes, footwear, or any other item you want to have with you on your 4Runner off road trip, the Farasla car trunk organizer takes care of your storage needs.
With this versatile item holding your gear for you, nothing will rock and roll in the back of your 4Runner while you traverse rocky terrain. You can easily get any item you want, too, without having to go through a jumbled mess of gear in the back of your vehicle.
Organization is key to any successful trip, and this trunk organizer can help you keep your gear neat and tidy!
