I've been wanting to drive out to Colorado for many, many years. I tried it once about 4 years ago in my 1973 109, didn't work. So this time around, I decided I shouldn't do it in a 40+ year old truck, but something a bit more modern. At the beginning of this year I picked up a LR3. I had it in...

Has anyone seen how the overhead grab handles attach? Does it screw into the body? Are there bungs behind the headliner? I have a 5 seat LR3, but am going to install 3rd row grab handles so I can install some overhead storage. Using stock grab handles to keep it looking clean. I've already got...

I'm planning a trip through Colorado here soon and wanting to pre-program my radio with the local repeaters before departing. I'm not taking a computer and programming radios without a cable is always some fun...that I don't want to do. My trip goes from Trinidad, through Salida to Ouray-area...

Stupid question: what is the best brand, etc for LR3 brake light bulbs for the tail lights? I've tried a few, but they all seem to not be as bright or not last long. I've heard there is some special requirements that are probably the root of my issue. Thanks everyone.

To preface, I am a licensed ham and prefer 2m. However reality is that not everyone on the trails is also a ham user. CB is extremely popular, especially in the southeast. So it makes sense for me to have a common piece of equipment. On the other side, FRS has been marginally useful on the...

So I've been running my cheapo Baofeng radio for a few weeks now in my vehicle. Overall, it is crap. And yes that is with an external mag mount antenna. It upsets me that I basically have a 5 mile range with this thing, and it really gets me when there is some guy on the repeater who is clear...

I'm in the "newbie" boat currently. I've got my hand held still wasn't quite sure on what to do. I found this guy on youtube who walks you through how to program your first ham radio. Its a good stepping stone and helps simplify the ridiculousness that is ham radio. Here are the links...

The question pops up and I've been wondering myself. How does one screen to find the rear locking diff on vehicles on the internet? There are many way to tell in person (aka, get up under there and look), but it is difficult to look at every truck 100s of miles away, or ask a salesman to go...

I always told myself, only get the V8 LR3. However, a V6 for a very good deal has shown up. Is it much of a power difference? Really, I'd like to tow my 109. Not a lot, maybe once every 3 months or so. Anyone have experience with the V6? Thanks.

Hi all. My sister lives near Boston and needs to Get a timing belt replaced in her highlander. Any shop recommendations to get such work done? I'd prefer to send her to a reputable toyota 3rd party shop that can do a good job. Also it would he cool to have like, built cruisers and stuff...

I'm trying to find the speedi-sleeve part number for a Series (non-V8) transfer case output flange. Mine is grooved pretty bad. Since new flanges are NLA, I took mine to a machine shop to get it sleeved. He can't find the appropriate one so that is throwing a wrench into everything. Thanks for...

This summer in Georgia has been rather...warm. Many days in the 3 digits in 80+ humidity. No real reason to leave the house. However this past week we were given a reprieve from the onslaught of heat and decided to take a day to go check out a few trails. There are a number of public trails in...

Saw this today...

So through a series of events, I now own this: First off, its cool and kinda goes along with the "1970s truck" thing I've got going on. Its empty which is probably a good thing. But I'd like to fill it up with all the crap that I might need. My first aid skills revolve around small medical...

This weekend I learned that my Rocky Mountain starter motor has died...and it is non-rebuildable. I know, awesome. Looks like the Starter Motor business of RM went to Global so I'd like to get a replacement starter motor from them (and in all honesty, price wise, a new one isn't that much more...

Good morning, Long story short, I now have a more accurate way of reading my coolant temp. Instead of a general guess, I'm getting a number from a new sensor, etc. Last night I took the truck out. Old sensor is reading about where I needs to be (as other series owners know, its just kinda a...

So I recently discovered my Nikon 80-200 2.8 AF-S lens will no longer auto focus. I found out that this is an intermittent problem with these lenses. It is what it is. Now the question is: Do I fix it? Fix it and sell it? Sell it as is and get the newer 70-200? Waiting on getting a quote...

Good morning, Long story short, I've got this TBI that came off of something that looks like either a Jeep or AMC vehicle. Can anyone help identify it? I originally thought it came off of a 2.5 TBI XJ but this one has four posts that connect to the elbow while the XJ TBI has only three. I've...

Just talked with a friend of mine about old school style canvas tents. Overall I'm on the fence. Positive side is that they would be quite roomy and also look pretty awesome setup next to my 109. On the downside, they look very complicated to setup, doesn't look like it keeps critters and...
