I think it's pretty impressive that the rack and roof could handle it. And for a short distance at low speeds, I don't see it being that unsafe...

You can bypass the switch so it will start anytime, clutch in or out. Just connect the two wires going to the switch... It wont cause any other issues, other than your wife may try to start it in gear. :sombrero: Both my Tacoma and my wife's 4-Runner are bypassed so the remote starts...

Is that the Tundra gauge cluster in your dash? Does it bolt right in place? Did you utilize the entire Tundra wiring harness? So your still sitting on your IFS front suspension with the OME coils? Very cool project...

I've seen that Tacoma posted over on TTORA. It's cool and has a lot of nice/expensive parts on it, but your Dodge is worth much more. The miles are not an issue as these trucks can easily go 400,000+, they only contribute to a lower book value. I agree with some of the posts that 35's are...

Awesome project. Here is mine from this last summer- http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=49564

These are possibly one of the most reliable vehicles ever. Here's an odometer pic from a 99 I just saw. It's a total loss collision rollover. Unfortunate an accident took it off the road...

Here is another link. I believe all pre-2001 Tacoma's have this frame weakness, but even though the 2001-2004 models were improved, it's still a recommended modification. http://www.tankota.net/Misc/Bentframe/framebent.htm And here are TG's frame plates for reference...

I drive a 2002 Double cab Tacoma with the 2.7/5 speed and my wife drives a 1997 4-Runner with the 3.4/5 speed. I had always been a huge 2.7 (3rz) fan, but after owning a 3.4 (5vz), I am now indifferent between the two. Sure the 3.4 has a timing belt, but it's EASY to the water pump/timing belt...

Gosh, I really love looking through these old camer restorations. Heres mine- http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=49564

Wow, this sounds very cool. Do you have a link or writeup?

No way your nuts, that will be very cool...

I have had bad luck with Mt Hardware products. Their taped seams seem to dissolve and fall apart. Marmot has been good in the past, though I haven't bought any Marmot gear in quite a while. Though expensive, I highly recommend Arc Teryx. I own an Arc Teryx hooded soft shell and I can say it...

It really depends on where you plan to go, but I would say top priorities include additional fuel storage (for increased range) and self recovery gear (like a winch, recovery straps, high lift jack, etc.). BTW, you have a very nice platform to start with... :victory:Tacoma:victory: Here is a...

If I were to do this I would add an onboard tank with a pressure switch, this way you have compressed air ready whenever you need it.

I have not done this, but apparently you can build a system using a compressor from a salvage yard Cadillac. I thought yotatech had a writeup, but I can't seem to find it.

Wow, very cool! I'm jealous... Yours is like a smaller/taller/beefed up version of mine. Looking back I wish I would have built a new heavier frame, but I built mine in just two weeks. Thanks so much for posting the link, nice work...

If you can find a Tdi Rover I would say go for it...:smiley_drive:

For the record I really like Discovery's and would love to own another someday when I'm financially more stable. I didn't keep the Discovery I's too long, but in the short time I had them the 1994 had the Cats go out and the 1995 had injector problems that would occasionally not let the...

Out of the 3 you mentioned in your original post, the FZJ80 is hands down the winner. I owned a Montero SR, besides the inherent throttle body issues Mitsubishi chose to never recall, it was OK in terms of reliability. It did burn some oil though. Now whenever I see one out and about, I watch...

From my experience owning a 2003 F650GS for 3 years, I agree that ABS sucks offroad. Often when braking on loose ground the wheels will slip just a bit activating the ABS and lengthing your stop substantially. When braking offroad, you want your tires to bite into the ground and build a wall...
