Does this count as a full size? In its natural habitat.

Swapped the roof basket for a much larger one. I’m pretty sure this was intended for a full size van but it works great!

Having a little bit of fun in the snow near Taos. I’d love to find some trails that aren’t closed to go explore but so far no luck

We’re in the mountains in New Mexico this week, seeing how much of a road tripping monster this expedition is for a big family. We were hoping to make it up some light trails/fire roads, but it’s looking like all the trails are closed from snow. Maybe in the week we can find some. I stuck that...

Got a screaming deal today! I need to get new tires but the rims and a set of new 315/70r17’s end up being cheaper than a set of roughly equal (34’s) for the fx4 rims I have on it now. Once I wear out this set on the truck, I’ll put on the raptor wheels. I’m also borrowing a set of f150 fender...

I’m looking into the bilsteins you talked about. The 2wd front and expedition rear with the lift friendly uca’s may be the happy point. I’m also looking at raptor take offs now so if I can find a set of wheels and tires for a good price that may push these plans forward fast

We had a 99 that was an absolute beast as a beach camper. Love a good suburban

I remember seeing the expedition in that movie when it first came out and absolutely loving it! The escape was surprisingly cool too but the 1st and 2nd gen escapes were secretly great little soft-roading toys. I do plan to do more mild stuff, nothing too crazy. I don’t plan to do anything...

Wow sounds like you’ve had a rough time with it! I’d read some stories and reviews of weird electrical issues being something of a problem, so I paid the extra for the crazy carmax warranty. I had a focus st that ate a bearing in the turbo and threw chunks through the intake and carmax replaced...

Hello everyone! It’s been literally years since I’ve posted to expedition portal. I’ve gotten married, had 4 children, 2 dogs, had a big change of careers, built a schoolie and moved on from my Toyotas (though a 100 series would still be fantastic and I do miss my 05 Tacoma) We needed a bigger...

Hello! I haven't had a project on Expo in a few years but I'm going to share my new/old farm truck camping rig. I recently picked my wife and kids up and moved out into the country to try to live a little bit closer to the land and came to the realization that my Dodge Journey just wasn't going...

Yea I'm thinking that the easy route is going to leave me with too small a bed... Would you mind taking some pics of your rear suspension and driveshaft?

I did a quick Photoshop and ya know what, it doesn't look half bad! this may be an alternative! though it may be a case of if your going to do the work, just do it all the way right?

Oh ok. Are you talking about the bushings at the front by the brackets you moved? i know exactly what you mean about bed space, Id have to do it the same way. i really am thoroughly impressed and hope you don't mind if I emulate your project a bit for mine and pick your brain along the way!

ok, well that does answer quite a few of my q's... in hindsight, if you could have, would you have put the 4runner/cab onto an extracab frame instead of stretching the wheelbase? That's the part of this build that has me scratching my head. How did you figure out your suspension geometry? Has...

Ha! Ya know, I've read this thread like 10 times now and I've missed that everytime!

one more question (for now)... are the quarter windows in the rear doors the rear section of the original truck door cut to fit?

Wow! This is inspiring! I'm in England now and occasionally see 90's quad cab hiluxes and have been wanting one after selling my 05 access cab to buy a reasonable family car. Now I'm moving back stateside and was thinking a first or second gen 4Runner would fit my needs better, and I've thought...

2005 tacoma 2.7 access cab, 5 speed, 1.5" lift, 285/70r17 Just filled up last night and got 20.11 mpg, mostly town driving but about 30 miles of highway. I do alot of coasting though. My route to and from work i have worked out where i can start coasting from 60mph and get as far as i can...

it does sound like my issue except that it isn't as loud at higher speeds (probably drowned out by the hum of my tires). It also makes the sound while settled down at 2000-2500 rpm in all but 5th gear, but I suppose if in 5th, the gear will always have a load on it, preventing it from slipping...
