    FJ40 Build thread - Hell's Kitchen

    After cutting the rear frame section and the front frame horns, how much more effort do you estimate it would be to build an entirely new frame? You mentioned the packaging issues regarding the frame interference with the steering and I was wondering if a new frame is a possible solution. Have...

    FJ40 Build thread - Hell's Kitchen

    So you are using a single ended ram and an orbital valve? Will this Cruiser be street driven? What prevented the use of a steering box?

    Project: Waltzing Matilda

    That guy needs to find a new job (or I should be a welding inspector). They are nice but they don't look at all like TIG welds to me... So are you going to coat it clear???

    Project: Waltzing Matilda

    I agree! That turned out killer, you should just clear coat it.

    Del Albright's Recreational Leadership Training Course

    Cool, I did not know that Stacie got an 80 Series. They do a lot of the historical trips that Cal4Wheel puts on in the Sierras and an 80 will be perfect for that. Congrats on the Tread Master trainer too, that is the next on my "to do" list. :clapsmile

    Del Albright's Recreational Leadership Training Course

    I just finished taking Del Albright's Recreational Leadership Training Course (RLTC- http://www.rltc.biz/) and I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in land use issues. The course is broken down into 10 modules that are about 16 pages each, making them "bite sized" and not too...

    I can't believe I am asking this...

    I have an older Canon Powershot (G5) that I still use quite often for tech articles. It takes good photos but does leave something to be desired for creative options.

    Can you guys tell me about the LR3?

    My experiences mirror your's. I tested one with MT/Rs on it when they first came out and they are VERY capable. I was able to drive up a steep talus slope and could feel the tires start to slip, and with no driver input the vehicle would adjust and keep climbing forward. Ground clearance was...

    Suspension selection and design for technical terrain

    Excellent thread, very informative posts. Scott I only have one question on what you posted. You mention getting more travel out of your front coilovers, however I was under the impression that the ball joint in the upper control arm and the CV joint were the limiting factors to travel on...

    Diff strength..

    Andre (dieselcruiserhead on here) ran an 8" rear axle in his 4BT powered FJ55 with a springover and 35" tires. I was skeptical when he first told me this but he never had any breakage issues.

    Lift for '98 Tacoma

    I don't have any experience with the Fabtech coilovers or the Tundra springs. Steve Schaeffer has a lot of suspension info on his site though. http://www.sonoransteel.com/store_complete_liftkits.html For tires, I would chose something that has sipes in the tread blocks to allow them to easily...

    Van Magazine Coverage

    Congrats on the feature! That is a very cool van. Can you tell me how it compares on the trail to other vehicles you have had in the past? What sort of mileage do you get? Is it comfortable? Fits on the trails? Capable and reliable? Sorry about all of the questions, I am sort of a novice...

    Canon announcements 1Ds MkIII & 40D

    I get tired enough lugging around a 1DS all day! I can't imagine taking an H3D out on the trail. I am jealous that you get to use one though. :)

    Lift for '98 Tacoma

    Find out what brands they have and then we can make suggestions. In the meantime, can you tell us what your goals are for the truck? When I was 17 I was more interested in looking cool than how well my vehicle functioned. If that is what you are after, and you don't have much money, than...

    Upgraded to an Adventure Trailer Chaser

    Congrats Jereme! I think that trailer would look really nice behind my white 4Runner until you find a tow rig. I would be happy to break it in for you. :)
