    Wheel Center Caps falling off?

    2001...in the last year I've lost two of the factory caps off my 16" rims. The other two are very loose. This happened all of a sudden. Is it normal? I need to buy new caps I suppose.

    Shotts' Roklimo is getting restored...lowered...and I might want to trade some parts:

    It's time...my son is done wheeling it. I need to rework this wonderful SUV into what we'll use it for in the future. And what's that? A Luxury Touring SUV with Medium-duty off-road capability. So here's what's up: *The 315-75x16 BFG KM2's have to go. ANYBODY INTERESTED IN BUYING MINE...

    We're not wheeling! Not even the 100! So the 80 will go and I hope I won't reget it. This was my second 80 build and I'll not drain the bank to build a 3rd. 1997 LX450 with 138,000 miles Here's what I have in the thing (including shipping and install): $10,500 paid in 2/06 with 123,000...

    2008 USA Land Cruiser Pics and Test Drive Impressions

    Ahhh....this is a very nice vehicle. Improvements are such that it does lessen the 100-series ride experience though nothing like the 100 did to the 80-series. Driving? VERY FAST! I believe the initial reports of 0-60 in 6.5 sec. The 6-speed shifts nicely and when on the gas it quickly...

    Last Minute run through Charouleau Gap on Sat 8/4:

    We gotta go. Over the past two weeks the Catalina Mountains have averaged over 1.5" of rain per day. Some days on the north side (CDO watershed) were 3+ inches. The CDO Wash (the wash in the center of the trail by the Step and at the Catalina end) has closed roads almost daily. Things are...

    Shotts' 100-series (Roklimo) Step-by-Step 5-year buildup

    Welcome folks. With all the requests I get about my 100's various lifts and modifications, I figured using this forum would make for a huge time saver for me (and others). It'll also benefit those contemplating how to build their 100-series for their needs. Please note: I'm doing this to bring...

    Trail Run to Sedona on Saturday 3/31:

    Join us in Sedona during their perfect time of year! This year will be a tad different. Besides running the famous Broken Arrow Trail, we'll also run another trail I'll bet most have never run...House Mountain. House Mountain is an extinct volcano and the trail ends at the crater's edge...

    Tortolita Mountains 12/30/06:

    This turned out to be a super trip! Perfect weather and a great group for four-wheelers! Becky and I drove the Lexus, then we had 4 80-series Cruisers (Walt and Tammi, Joe Chott, Brad and Alice Musil, and Richard and sons), one in a FJ62 (Steve), Chuck in his Jeep Wrangler, and Randy in a...

    TRAIL RUN: 12/30 TORTOLITA MOUNTAINS near Tucson

    OK folks, I'll bet nobody on this forum has run the trail we're running on the 30th? It's the perfect winter run. It gets even more interesting if it's wet. Run it BEFORE they close it. It took Becky and myself THREE scouting runs to even find the way through the mountains. Details on trip...

    TRIP CANCELLED...NOBODY HAS SIGNED UP SO WE'RE HEADING ELSEWHERE...SEE YOU NEXT TIME. It's time to run the Sutherland Trail. Sutherland for some reason doesn't get heavy usage. Many do not know of it's whereabouts. We've been on the first half, though never ran the trail to it's end which is...

    Pyeatt Draw Trail (AZ) Nov, 18, 2006

    Hello fellow Expo Portal members! Pyeatt Draw was listed as one of the 10 most scenic trails by BFG Tires. Since the article, trail use is very high. The trail is also very difficult. It would not surprise me that in time, some obstacles might receive names from various wheelers. Scott...

    Shotts' 1997 Lexus "Rock Crawler" buildup:

    The forums are cool. On one thread we've got DesertDude building a tricked-out 1997 with all the trimmings (more like what I've done with my 2001 100-series). We need to watch his build. :coffee: On this thread, I'm building the LX into an aggressive machine, similar to my 1993 Cruiser...

    Shock Modification for 100-series:

    Well, not sure how many 100-series drivers are posting to this forum? Regardless, I've pulled another "first to modify ..... on a 100-series" and it was a great success so I figured I'd get the word out just in case someone is searching. PROBLEM: 100-series, while extremely capable, has less...

    I need help in deciding which Cruiser to buy...another 80 or another 100:

    OK, I've been frantically shopping for a 3rd Cruiser for 2 months now...but can't find what I want...and that might be MY fault. Here's the scoop: I have an extremely expensive 100 (that most of you know about). It's been buffed for the last time. I've been told I better keep it from brush or...
