    02 Taco for $17k...this is getting out of hand.

    110% ridiculous. Still proves though, that its a Sellers market. If people want one bad enough, they'll pay through the nose for it.

    Campfire container for restricted areas

    Just an FYI - The off gas components of Galvanized anything, are toxic and will kill you.

    Wheel set up 5th gen 4Runner

    It's the black on black. Trust me. Adding spacers are going to move them out in the wheel wells. Which may cause rubbing. I run the same rims, and tire sizes on my 2001 4Runner, and 2004 Tacoma. The tires on the 4runner, look "ok". Yet look HUGE on the Tacoma. The Tacoma is white, 4Runner...

    Selectable lockers for front diff 2002 Taco, what's available?

    From someone who has a Tacoma and 4Runner (which use the same diff). I'm going to contribute a thinking point. The IFS front diff is a small diff to begin with. Adding a locker to it, will place even more stress on the case and 3 mounting points. To me, this sounds like a terrible idea...

    Thought you guys might like to see how I shoehorned a UPG 75 Ah battery under the hood of my 2008 Tacoma

    So instead of worrying about the crimps, do what I would do. Crimp them, and then solder the crimp terminal. This is how I treat ALL of my electrical connections that would normally be crimped. Solder will do you a couple of favors. Make a better mechanical and electrical connection, and...

    Thought you guys might like to see how I shoehorned a UPG 75 Ah battery under the hood of my 2008 Tacoma

    Correct. You introduced an additional mechanical connection point, which is an additional failure point for three reasons. 1: The mechanical connection itself. - Additional Resistance, vibration (slightly mitigated with lock washers). 2: Galvanic corrosion between the (what I see as a minimum...

    Thought you guys might like to see how I shoehorned a UPG 75 Ah battery under the hood of my 2008 Tacoma

    The extension of the battery cables, is a really bad idea. You've created a possible failure point, and a resistance (voltage drop) point. Personally, I would NEVER return back to the audio shop you visited. They should have either talked you into removing the factory cables and replacing...

    Advice Needed:: To keep the Taco or not. Terrible economy.

    This. My 01 4Runner is also my daily. I see on average 14mpg. Do the math man. A paid off rig, vs a New rig, anything less than a 2-3 times increase in MPG, is going to leave you with a monthly LOSS. My advice, don't bother selling the truck or trading it in. Save up a bit of cash and buy...

    Gen3 4Runner Acting Funny.

    With the symptoms, I would expect the next code to pop-up as a failed heater circuit on the B1S1 A/F or 02 sensor (this changes depending on year and 49 or 50 state vehicle).

    Show us your Toyota 4runner, tacoma or truck.

    How "Rhino" looks now, and how he looked when I brought him home 8/1/15. There is now a fresher coat of mud!
