My 99 ******** box. Put way more money into this fool than an honest man should... alas, she’s stolen my heart and taught me how to love again. IRO 3” lift. 31” KO2. HD Steering. Lots of new shiny parts and an EMT roof rack I built with a HF buzz box. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I mounted a 3.5" circle pad from amazon dead center on the dash and attached a ram mount to it. I bought a couple extensions for the unit and had it angled so that it was just above the touch screen without blocking too much of the view. I've also seen floor Ram mounts in the passenger foot...

I have a 16 Laredo (3.6L V6)... wheel the heck out of it... just got back from SW Colorado and SE Utah. All over Moab... Imogene, Black Bear, and Mosquito Pass were no issue. On road manners are great and it feels super stable off road. Gas mileage is fine... mine has a lift and bigger tires...

18" for sure. Only the front calipers rubbed. I heard a weird grinding noise coming from the front end of the Jeep right after install. I couldn't pinpoint until I took the wheels off and noticed about 1/8" of material cleared out of the wheel where a caliper clip sticks out. I honestly...

I ran Sahara takeoffs on my 16 Laredo for a minute. They rubbed the caliper slightly and I had to add 5/8” spacers, which I didn’t like. I ended up selling them back on CL. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Went back to look at it closer last night. Rust flaking off of the frame. The front skid plate was rusted through. Lots of perforations along spring supports and braces. I passed. Back to the drawing board. Thanks everyone for the replies. You’re not as bad as the jeep guys say you are...

It is a V6. There is typical Ohio surface rust on the rear axle and a few spots in frame rails. It looks solid though. Is there an easy way to tell if the frame is rusted through without taking a dead blow hammer to it? I will dig deeper when I look at it again Monday. The body is in great...

Found a great deal on an 05 4Runner V6 SR5 4x4. Currently drive a 16 Grand Cherokee that I’m afraid to get dirty (i hate the 8 spd transmission). Looking to trade it in and drop my debt. What should I be looking for? How is the aftermarket support (bumper, sliders, skids, lift,etc...)? What...

Trip was a blast. Saw a ton of wildlife. Ended up keeping the seats upright... Tried laying down myself and didn't feel there was enough room for all three to stretch out. Scratched the hell out of the plastic anyway moving gear around... Guess she's broken in now lol. Loaded it up nicely...

Thanks for the response. Not when driving, only when at rest stops instead if having to lean on each other. One in the middle gets stuck without a head rest and folding the seats down will let him grab a few peaceful winks. He draws the short straw because he has the short legs.

Love the forum, have been drooling over trailer builds and truck mods for a few months. Just traded my 04 xterra in on a brand new 2013 x. My question: taking the fam to Yellowstone from CLE on Friday. Will be pulling a small trailer with camping gear and mounting a roof top cargo carrier on...
