    2000 4runner opinions

    Not sure what year Ody you have but I have an '03 and a '99 T4R. The T4R is small in the drivers and front passenger areas compared to the Ody. Not too small for me, I really like the T4R. But the wife greatly prefers the spacious front of the Ody.

    Any reason NOT to use a power supplying connection as a solar panel input connection?

    Perforated boards ideas? (ventilated mattress base)

    These guys make lots of sheets of steel and fiberglass with holes in them. http://www.mcnichols.com/ Perf steel will work but will likely need a angle steel frame surround for rigidity to span 4'.

    Simple radio

    About the simplicity and CB issue- @Martinjmpr and others mentioned programming the repeaters into the radio. Does any manufacturer do that already? From reading about the radio options it always comes up that we need to program the radios and that it is a simple process. Seems like a smart...

    What GA wire to bed of truck

    @wrenchMonkey_ and who ever else might know- " Most 8 AWG are 5/16 or 1/4, not the #10 or whatever the BS Fuse Block is, so thats something to consider." Looking around I do not find a lug for larger cable that has the hole to fit the #10 or #12 studs. What are the options in that case...

    The Backup Plan: My 3rd Gen 4runner

    "I'lll look into that over replacing the radiator right away. Sounds quicker to get done and my first prioroty is just get it where I feel good driving it without wondering what's going to break." A new radiator is inexpensive and easy to replace. I would do that before the cooler, or in...

    Midland MXT100 GMRS Mini Review

    ^^^^^ My question as well. The top of the line is missing a feature that seems like it would be very popular? Maybe there is a way to get them added?

    HT as a scanner?

    I think I want to check out the ham world. Can the cheap Bao Feng HTs be used as a scanner? And will they receive weather alerts? I want to get something that I can use to listen with and see whats on the air waves in my area. If it seems active and interesting I will pursue the ham stuff...

    What do you use for a truck gun?

    Remington Model 7 in .243 with a long eye relief scope. Occasionally a Mossberg Mariner. I rekon I am old now, lol. I would like to get an AR variant but have not begun the research.

    Need help: Is this 1988 4 Runner worth $12k

    It is a used car dealer likely. They are in hopes that someone will want that truck due to an emotional connection, a guy with money now that sold his old '88 years ago and wants that style again. You can buy 2 decent 3rd gens for that price. Or spend $8K on a nicer 3rd gen and outfit it...

    Spare / Extra Fuel - Worth Carrying? (East Coast)

    One of the downsides to the 3rd gen T4R. The tanks are, I think, 18.5 gallons capacity. When the light comes on in mine, at about 200 miles, I will go another 25 +/- miles. When I fill up it kicks off the pump at approx 14.5 gallons, then I put another 1 gallon in and stop. Lots of talking about...
