    Partner Stoves?

    Late to the question here, but check the O rings. They degrade over time. I've had the core valve stick a little here and there, but the O rings degrade. Replacing mine this weekend before we head to VT.

    235-85-16 on 3rd Gen 4Runner

    I have the truck at a body shop getting some minor work done. Getting the 4XInnovations rear bumper ordered - have the front ARB and OME suspension here (since they are a sponsor of our company) and an Superwinch EP9 with some Marlow syn line. Going to have the 18 hole spare wheels cleaned up...

    Thanks all. I'd be mounting them on 16" steel spares.

    235-85-16 on 3rd Gen 4Runner

    Point taken. We've got a few 2nd Gen Tacos (2006 and 2007) with BFG ATs on them - I know they are a solid 33" size. Always done well. I'm going with the new BFG ATKO2s.

    Yep - saw that one when googling. Has 2" suspension and 2" body lift. I'll have 2-3" with the OME setup. Thanks,

    Traction Ramps / Sand Ladders

    We've been using just about every type mentioned here so far for years. I don't think the SandMats have been mentioned that were shown in an OJ article about a year or so ago. http://expeditionportal.com/overland-journal-sand-ladder-test/ The website seems to be dead, but I am going to...

    235-85-16 on 3rd Gen 4Runner

    Does anyone have any images of a 3rd Gen 4Runner on 235-85-16s with a 2-3" lift? I'm too lazy to look through all the images and my connection is crap right now. I'm considering this size on my personal 4Runner and am installing an OME suspension, ARB and winch. It's an SR5, so it doesn't...

    Mk6 Hilux OE part sources

    As some of your know we've imported six 2007-2008 Hiluxes for our driving school. The build can be seen here. http://www.overlandexperts.com/hilux4x4.php But what I am looking for now are relatively good sources for basic parts items like brakes, belts, etc. Anyone have any good sources for...

    2010 Hilux rear bumpers and sliders

    If you scroll down there is a pic of the black Hilux I think you are referring to. Not a huge fan of ProComp/SmittyBuilt products by any means. Would be nice if it provided some quarter panel protection too, but...

    2010 Hilux rear bumpers and sliders

    We have six 2009 and 2010 Hiluxes here in the states (yes legally) and I am looking for rear bumpers and sliders for them. I like the idea of having IPOR fabricate both, but the trucks are located in CT and won't be headed south for a bit. I am not a fan of tube either, so I'd prefer not to...

    The Official 2012 Overland Expo thread!!! Post your comments, questions, images...

    I agree and we're going to suggest this for next year in hoping that we can incorporate some training on some moderate trails in the area - if they exist and are legal to run. Great event this year and for us instructing, a far better climate to be doing it in. Well except for the wind on...

    Currently stranded in CO

    Sven is correct. 4 core for an auto, 3 core for manual on DIs. The extra core for cooling the auto trans fluid through the radiator.

    Kinetic Recovery Rope for Unimog??

    We use 1 1/4" Masterpull kinetic "Super Yanker" that is rated for 52,300 lbs. We're training with everything from Defender 110s, BJ75s, Hiluxes, etc. It works great for our applications, but wouldn't hesitate to use it for larger applications as well. You can go up to 1 1/2" that's rated...

    WTB: OME suspension - 2007 Taco

    I am looking for an OME complete suspension OR just the rear complete leaf springs. Apparently OME is out of rear springs for these trucks and they cannot ship me a complete setup. So I am either looking for an almost new complete OME suspension OR just the rear springs. I am located in...
