I was building an RC4WD 4Runner over the last several weeks and the 4Runner specific body mount posts (the parts tree version) seemed like a great idea – except it is impossible to get the body on with those mounts. I have the RC4WD Xtracab and the body mount posts for it are longer (because they don't use the parts tree mount system) so I decided I'd use my spare set of Xtracab body mount posts and grub screws.
