That one I posted above went across the country 3 times! From Atlanta to Northern Ca. twice. And many places off the beaten path. Averaged about 24 mpg... after I re-geared it to 4:56's. Was a great truck! Yah, it was a lil doggy up hills and it spent some time in 3rd and 4th but it was reliable...

I built this for around 45 hundred... https://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/expedition-vehicles/2382617-1992-extra-cab-toyota-camping-mild-expo-whatev-fun-truck.html Served me well for a few years!

They are a Yakima 1A mount … universal for the rain gutters on the older cars. https://www.amazon.com/Yakima-1A-Tower-Single/dp/B001T882T8/ref=sr_1_6?crid=1JSIV1VXGJZUY&dchild=1&keywords=yakima+1a+raingutter&psc=1&qid=1572475906&sprefix=yakima+1a%2Caps%2C202&sr=8-6

Doh. Correct, I meant 1d or 2d. Little inline 4 diesels...

Some of you guys may get a kick out of this... I get asked a lot about the little power plant in the space shuttle. So thought I would share. The engine is a 4YE fuel injected 4 cylinder. Creates about 105 hp's and produces some pretty decent torque. They still manufacture and use these robust...

I have been wheeling for 30+ years (I'm not bragging! I'm just old).... THIS ^^^ is solid advice. Go out and learn the limits of the vehicle, and yourself. If the TRD Pro comes with a traction device, like e-lockers, your already money up. I can make it most places on 28" tires that some Jeeps...

Ha ha.. yip! Was a rolling health violation by most standards... The 2 suitcases that were left in the back when I first drove it home were sketchy! Opened real slow like in case the Mexican Cartels left a head or something in it. No money, sadly... just a few old shirts and some socks... some...

Thanks man! Planning a hunting trip for some grouse and wabbit towards the end of the month! Will keep updated on the Van shenanigans!

I know a lot of people complained about the 3.slow, but I really enjoyed the few I have had! Averaged about 18mpg in my 89 4runner and the thing consistently ran like a champ. Never let me down in all the years I owned them. Always like the custom cabs too! Subscribbled!

Thanks man! I have an account over there, but stopped posting tech stuff... kind of had a falling out with that Gwen lady (Tim is super cool and gets my sense of humor). It's cool now, and I do browse here and there and post the occasional tid bits here and there, but would rather post...

I probably posted this in the wrong place.... just saw this forum. Oops. Link to other: https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/not-sure-where-i-fit-in-toyota-van-thread.209748/

And like mentioned.... I have been finding restoring toy's for a long time! Just a handful I have done over the years...

Yah, for whatever reason they seem to thrive in the Western US... Have seen a few in the Southwest, but they are abandoned or on their last leg. Washington, Oregon and California seem to have a few survivors, but they are all hippied out and a bit hokey. This is one of the few with the intent of...

Thanks man!!! Looking at your 4runner makes me miss mine! Also had an 89! I WILL have another once I find the perfect one to restore! :p

Little snow getter....
