    Old's Cool

    Excuse me sir but my photography is as amazing as an on sale fifth of Evan Williams bourbon. In that it's basically garbage, but you've gotten this far and there's really no turning back now... Also thank you for lovin' on the stock *** steelies. I love them too much to switch to 16" things

    Old's Cool

    Oh yeah I've camped all over the place out there the last few years and I've got my spots. I can't remember if I've done Gemini Bridges, but I just got home from Chicken Corners this morning.

    Old's Cool

    I've had my almost completely stock 85 4Runner, Timothy, since highschool and I've been mocked more than once for it not "having enough balls"... After spending several weeks at a time living out of the back of it, I fully intend to drive it until the wheels fall off. At which point I will bolt...

    1st gen 4Runner Wind Wings

    Thanks for the advice. If I could find good doors in my paint color, that would be an option, but I'm handy and can swap mechanicals around sooo... Either way the doors that I did find were electric and I don't want power windows, so back to looking...

    My first truck happens to be a 89 4runner!

    Thats a pretty nice one! There aren't many 1st gen 'runners around here so I'll probably see ya around.

    1st gen 4Runner Wind Wings

    So my last truck, an 87 Xtra cab had the wind wings in the doors and I really loved how much air they got you. Now my 85 4Runner has the one piece glass and they leave me feeling empty inside... and hot. So, some doors came up on Craigslist that have said wind wings. Has anybody torn apart the...

    All-Pro Offroad's Billy the 4Runner! Help us build it!

    Hey that looks almost identical to mine when I first bought it, except mine is red/black! I agree with the rest of us here and say keep it stock looking and keep your efforts to the internals. Using a Porsche as an analogy make the Singer 911 of 1st Gen 4Runners, Not a Rauh Welt Make it all...

    1st Gen 4runner Roof Rack Lights

    Thanks for the tip on the glare, I've got some old spotlights on the bumper right now so maybe I'll put those on the rack and put the floods on the bumper. And yeah I guess I could just seal a grommet with some RTV, probably look better than one of those marine things anyway.

    1st Gen 4runner Roof Rack Lights

    So I was just given some old flood lights and was thinking about wiring them up to my roof rack, but am having second thoughts about routing the wiring. I'm fine with drilling a hole in my roof, so long as there is a decently safe way to protect against leaks, rust and fraying the wiring. I...

    Cheap Used Forks

    Yeah this bike is probably never going to get too much demand for performance. I go hiking a lot and many of the trails around here require a couple miles of dirt fire road to get to the trail head. All I need to know is if the forks I have are very decent, I cant find much on them and don't...

    Cheap Used Forks

    So, I almost by accident I bought a "new" bike the other day. Its a Diamond Back Ascent. Obviously not the best bike ever made, but not bad being that I don't intend on doing anything big. Anyway, when I went to pick the bike up everything worked well, just needed a little fine adjusting, now...

    Worst Mods You've Done

    So what's the worst mods you've ever done to your vehicle? Could be helpful to know what to avoid in the future, as I'm starting to build up my 85Runner (although extremely slowly). On my old 87 it was tearing out the A/C and making it into on board air that never got used, in the middle of...

    My truck got stolen (Ventura CA)

    Thanks so much for any help you guys can give. I've got this posted on Yotatech and craigslist. So far no helpful leads. My dads truck was stolen last year too and they found it two weeks later with swapped plates when the driver decided to stop driving it in the middle of an intersection. I...
