Last night I decided to spend some time figuring out why my high beams weren't working. The indicator on the dash would light up if you moved the stalk to high beam or flash, but the headlights would just go out. You could hear the relays click when messing with the switch, so I figured it had...

Yes please! I really want a rear tire carrier built for it. I may end up trying to reinforce my TG bumper to add a swing out.

Amy and I had a chance to take the Runner up in the snow again yesterday, but we didn't have anyone else to join us so we had to be a bit careful. We had a lot of self-recovery gear, warm clothes, and survival equipment, so I wasn't too concerned. To start the day off, I realized that my...

You are correct. That isn't an '85. They stopped making that body style in '83.

I am proud to say ol Ben did great on the Christmas Tree Run! The PS fluid level never dropped, I never lost assist, and you could barely hear the pump with the radio on. LOL! In all seriousness, my fiancee got sick and we ended up leaving the group early to get her to urgent care. I drove a...

With the Christmas Tree Run coming up this weekend, I was pushing hard to get my power steering fixed this week. *I ordered Trail Gear's 1650 psi pump kit thinking that it would be a great upgrade for the time being until I can put a ram on for hydro assist. *Reading the instructions showed that...

Well I guess it is time for an update... A local 4x4 club was hosting their annual poker run last Saturday, so I figured that would be a good chance to see how the spring modifications worked. I must say that even with just my trail gear in the back, the suspension worked very well! The...

I would buy a DieHard Platinum or Gold AGM before I would buy an Optima.

:Wow1: I will definitely be in touch! If you don't mind me asking, where in Oregon are you?

Oh! And here is a quick pic showing where I mounted the aux fuse block and 2m radio:

LOL! No kidding... I am looking forward to a quiet, relaxing evening tonight.

Last night my buddy came over and helped me install the AAL. It all went together relatively smoothly. The only main issue we came across was Skyjacker designed the AAL around a stock leaf pack. Since TG's leafs are 56”s long, the center pin hole needed to be moved about 2” over...

I have no patience... Took advantage of autoanything.com's free overnight shipping and ordered long leaf AALs from Skyjacker.

An AAL and/or longer shackles ARE a band-aid solution. The truck will eventually have a RTT, rear tire/dual jerry can carrier, and all of my camping/wheeling gear. I "think" that the All-Pro 6" leaves will level out the truck as it sits now, but IDK if it will keep up with the weight once...

Well I am way past due for an update! I had a lot that I wanted to accomplish before Cruisin' the Woods, so I was working pretty hard at getting everything done. I had bought a 12 circuit aux fuse block for the 100, so I figured I would wire that in to run all of my accessories. I used 4...

Very nice! I love low SAS's.

I picked up the truck Saturday morning and spent all day trying to get the back window to roll down so I could open the tailgate. I ended up cleaning the switch on the console and that got it working. The keyed switch outside still doesn't work, but I will save that for another day. For now...

Yes, the bias ply Iroks are a bit aggressive. I will probably end up selling them as a set. It's too bad because I really love those tires off road. You are correct, it does have a bit of the typical 4Runner butt sag. I'm not sure what I'm going to do about that. We will see how it works and...

Well, I sold off my 40 project that stalled out and my 100. This is the replacement rig that I am picking up tomorrow. She is a 1991 Toyota 4Runner that I decided to name Cherry Bomb. It is Cardinal Red with grey interior (hence the Cherry), 3.0l V6 (hence the bomb), 5-Speed, stock cased, and...

SOLD!
