why dont you like the synergy steering linkage? you're the second person I've heard that from this week.

pending payment.

yeah, I'd love to do that with it. I got a TBI and can't drive longer than 30 minutes without getting migraines and nausea, so I won't be doing any long trips for a while. it's ok, I put 80k miles on my 4runner in two years, with about 15k of that being offroad and deep in the western US wilderness.

002 Dodge 2500 24v 5.9 Cummins diesel. NV5600 6 spd manual. 4x4. 181k miles. The most sought after configuration, manual 6spd 4x4. Don't want to sell but need the money to fix my other truck. Starts perfect every time. Runs perfect every time. All stock, never tuned. not a 53 block. no mods at...

we met somewhere the next day at a bank and he bought it from me. I had another 4runner at the time, so it wasn't a big deal. I borrowed a swingaway rack and it helped for sure. I don't think i'd want the bikes up front.

word thanks. I used to have a lifted 91 E350 that could go most places my 4runner could go, but it got 8mpg and some dude at a gas station offered me twice what I paid for it, so I sold it. also I couldn't stand up in it and the suspension was insanely harsh, and it was incredibly loud on long...

I want one but i'm going to wait a year or two. theres a few modded ones on instagram that look great.

Sure. I’ll prob trade the 4runner for a Tundra or other truck with a camper or RTT at some point in the next year or two, but for now I just want a less irritating solution for my stuff for the desert trip I have coming up in a couple weeks. $2k for a rack is out of my budget at the moment so...

Oh, that isn’t what I meant. I just meant it’s expensive for a rack. And no, I don’t need a midsize with the interior of a van etc etc etc. I bought the 4runner when my life was different. It’s just what I have right now. I’m not doing as much offroading as I used to and it’s not as much of a...

Holy sheet those things are expensive. It’s like $2k plus for the two level box and bike rack system.

that might work, actually. I'll look into that.

Wondering what other folks are doing for MTB-trip-focused builds. I’m in a 19 TRD ORP 4runner I bought new 2 years ago. The first 6 months it was a Denver corporate office commuter and weekend ski vehicle with occasional Moab trips. Then the pandemic and a layoff happened and it spent a year as...

cool. The only time I pass through Kansas is when I drive home to the east coast to see my family. From Idaho it’s 30 hours, so I prob won’t make it again soon. Hope you’re enjoying the life change. I’m loving east Idaho. Kind of can’t imagine moving again unless I move abroad or just go...

What’s up mike. Did you end up moving to Kansas?

Well, we’ve had a load of snow the last few weeks and I’ve been driving up the mountain to the ski resort every day, and I haven’t gotten around to putting snow tires on. My verdict on the Grabber ATX is pretty much the same as it was: good in dry, deep, or fresh snow. Not very good in wet snow...
