Let me help you have a harder decision. Saw this on CL and thought about this thread...

Looks great! Question, why did you get a 6BT instead of rebuilding and/or upgrading the 7.3? I don't know the exact specs of either without doing aa quick search, so I'm just curious.

Does anyone have a link or brand for the battery powered water pump y'all are speaking of? I'd love to have something rechargeable and non permanent for these water jugs.

I know this is old, but DFG off-road just came out with a nice one that seems quick deploy and has grommets at the bottom for staking down for wind. Plus has a built-in LED strip that plugs into a USB port in your vehicle. I would love to have one but not anytime soon. Maybe next year.

That's interesting, I had no idea. Thanks for that!
Oh yea, there's a lot to be said about their durability when they continue to run in these third world countries like they do. It's pretty incredible to think about. And some you see to this day are older models.

I'm not a huge fan of Toyota, but I recognize them as having good products. My wife has a 92 Lexus LS400 so I know they make solid vehicles. I just liked my F150 better than the tundras at the time.
That said, someone mentioned land cruisers used by ISIS and others during war....

We have Radflo 2.5s all around on our truck and it sagged both before and after the suspension upgrade. We have a ARE topper, decked drawer system, fridge in back, and a rack on top of the topper. We have a full size KO2 spare under the truck as well. We decided to get an Auto Spring add a leaf...
Have you thought about getting a bigger SUV like the Sequoia, Expedition, or Armada? Doesn't Toyota have a off-road package for the Sequoia? And the other two would have AWD/4wd at least. You could have pretty much everything you love about your 4runner and have more carrying and towing...
Cool thread! thanks all for the book recommendations too. I would like to think it was a combination of things. They most probably used wool undergarments/skivvies on during sleep with the wool blankets. Plus back then the use of fur was much more widely used. Getting under a fur skin would...
2011 was the first year for the 5.0. 20q0 was the new gen body style with the old 5.4. I think you could get the Ecoboost that year as well. Plus of course the heavy iron horse 6.2.

Agreed John. If you have a VR, you don't need the sterling device. Just have the VR cut the field wire on the alternator whenever you reach a cutoff. It shuts the alternator down fast enough to prevent blowing the alternator diodes.

Oh ok, 100ah nice. What brand did you go with now that I'm interested? [emoji28]
8 gauge is adequate, it will limit your amps but that's fine. We bought a Amazon special 4ga jumper cable for our wire to the bed of the truck. It's not Marine grade, but for this use it's plenty good enough. I...
