    New 3RZ-FE engine install 3d Gen 4Runner

    I was hoping to get 400k out of my 3rz but unfortunately, I was never able to get it properly tuned after adding a supercharger which resulted in burned exhaust valves in cylinders 1 and 3. Since I already had 300K on the engine, I decided to pull the engine and go about sourcing a replacement...

    ECGS front differential bushing replacement?

    Hi ExPo community, Curious is anyone has done this? If so, do these symptoms sound familiar? Seems well documented in the Tacoma community. When accelerating through 2nd gear and part of 3rd in 2WD, the front end kind of 'shudders' and I can feel the steering wheel and front end kind of...

    Dual Transfer Cases and Camping at Uwharrie National Forest

    Over the past couple of years, I've found myself upgrading parts vs simply replacing them with their OEM-spec replacements. As many on this site know, these types of upgrades typically aren't cheap and frequently find themselves being completed when time and funds allow. Fortunately, my fiancee...

    Labor Day in Nantahala National Forest

    The original plan was to do some camping/exploring around Michigan's Upper Peninsula / Painted Rocks but after ruminating on the drive- over 1,500 miles just to get there, common sense sort of took over and I realized that such a marathon trip wouldn't exactly be making the best use of a 5 day...

    Big Bend Memorial Day pt 2

    Continuing from pt 1... So the plan for day 2 was to explore Chisos Basin. "][/URL] The road leading to up to Chisos Basin is paved but makes up for it (in my mind) with a simply amazing vistas. I couldn't believe I was still in Texas. "][/URL] "][/URL] "][/URL] So I got 'tricked' into...

    Big Bend National Park Memorial Day Weekend pt 1

    So it's been a while since my last trip...Ana and I were thinking about Big Bend National Park (BBNP) thanks to RockMidget's superb photo skills(!) but to be honest, I wasn't sure I'd be able to make it. 3 days prior to trip date, my radiator sprung a leak about 3 miles from home. I'm just glad...

    Mogollon Rim for Thanksgiving

    Having stopped in Prescott to have Adventure Trailers install a fridge slide and drawer set up in my vehicle, I was off to Mogollon Rim with my girlfriend. (pictures actually start from Phoenix since I had to make a trip to the airport.) Here's a cell phone pic of the new set up- kind of hard to...

    Uwharrie Camping- Dickey Bell 1

    Decided to take a trip out to Uwharrie National Park as I was in Durham visiting my girlfriend. First thing to point out- go to El Dorado Outpost and spend the $5/day for your OHV pass. Not sure if it is a scare tactic or not but being caught without one has a stiff fine- $250 along with...

    Arizona to Florida part I

    So after lurking a number of different boards including this one for a quite some time, I've decided to share my latest 'adventure' which took me from Tampa, FL to Arizona and back. I'll spare everybody the trip down since all I did was take I10 for hundreds of miles. I will say that I did set...
