    SO, school me - I am a Toyota guy, with a problem....

    You could do a drive shaft disconnect on the Taco most likely. https://torkliftcentral.com/remco-driveshaft-disconnect Our 4th gen 4runner was a dinghy to someone before we bought it. It had that set up on it. It did cause a slight driveline vibe at highway speed. I eventually replaced the shaft...

    Fraud Alert - SoCal Teardrops

    Man what a shame. We love ours we bought 6 years ago at Great Lakes Teardrops in Michigan. I think ours was one of the last ones built there. Only thing is the hatch seems to be losing some of its curve and takes a little effort to latch now.

    3rd Gen 4Runner…. The next thing

    The industry has caused the tech shortage, along with the customer. But thats a whole nother topic all its own. Not much to changing it. Cant hurt for sure.

    3rd Gen 4Runner…. The next thing

    In a word ”no”. 3rd gens are not bad at all with a lift of no more than 2 to 3 inches. I would still suggest a diff drop. The needle bearing they offer we have installed in a 2nd gen Tacoma and 5th gen 4runner. Did not help the slight noise some of them make with the lift. Run it on a lift if...

    3rd Gen 4Runner…. The next thing

    Yeah. could Be they got a piece of trash in the sensor hole during install. And if they had to get rough in the very least it may be damaged. I see that pretty often. And I mean it doesn’t even have to take a direct hit. Banging near it can cause it to fail. Especially at 25 years old. Our shop...

    Chaser #14. New adventures

    I didnt notice you had Homer. Checking it out was one of the trailers that originally had me looking for a 416. One of these days I'll talk my buddy back out of it . And I dont even know why.

    Chaser #14. New adventures

    Love these trailers. Sold my 416 to a friend. Regret. He has done it up nice though. SoCal teardrop 6 years ago and still love it. Even though we didn’t use 416 anymore I still wish I had it back.

    So, I looked at a 62 for sale today

    I passed. Seemed like about $4k to me in true value. I think it’s still sitting in the same place. Got work that needs to be done to both 4Runners anyway. Plus, I‘d rather be out mountain biking or camping than working on some rusty project car to maybe drive once or so a month. The right...

    So, I looked at a 62 for sale today

    Yep. And I already got a 3rd and 4th gen 4runner. And love them both for different reasons

    So, I looked at a 62 for sale today

    Yeah. People asking big money for these things. But I don’t really see many actually bringing big money. In my eyes in reality this is about $4k to $4.5k truck. Add to that, I absolutely love my 3rd gen 4runner and only get to drive it a few times a month. 75 mile commute to work. 04 Corolla for...

    So, I looked at a 62 for sale today

    I’ve wanted a Land Cruiser for a long time. This one came up for sale locally and I went to check it out. Some rust here and there but nothing terrible. The frame is pretty crusty but no perforation. New tires and battery. AC doesn’t work. 195k miles. Runs and drives great. 4wd works. I think...

    How many of you ACTUALLY overland with your 80s or 60s

    I’ve wanted a Land Cruiser ever since I did my first Pre Delivery Inspection on a 60 way back in 1986 at the dealer I worked at then. Left there for a while and have been at a Toyota dealer again for the past 21 years. Still don’t have my Land Cruisers. Have ahead a 2nd gen 4runner and currently...
