    Down sizing

    I can certainly relate, my son is 2 and it seems like we always over pack! A few notes regarding your situation: ~I can understand the roof rack being tall, for that reason and others, I like to stick only lightweight "squishable" things up there. Our setup is a simple canvas bag lashed to...

    Off topic: Seriouseries: That sure looks like a new england truck design flat bed, and a nice one at that! Are you happy with their stuff? Did you get the rigid lights through them? Mike

    1964 Nissan Patrol soft top restoration

    Nice work on the custom tools! Regarding the torque arm tool you made for the rear bearing lock nut: I use a similar tool at work for torquing tail rotor blade attachment nuts, and we have a formula for figuring out the exact torque applied when using a longer "arm". With your little adapter...

    BritKLR/ATC Storage Platform

    Most impressive setup! I would love to duplicate it but have two questions for you... In my case it would seem as though my load is ever changing, and i'm not nearly as organized as you. With that in mind, are the cam-lock straps relatively easy to re-route into different tie down holes...

    Which Bilstein 5100s for 4Runner?

    Ken, I currently run tundra bilstein 5100's with tundra trd coils. I'm on the 2nd notch from the bottom, for about 2.5 inches of lift height and what i would call a great ride with stock skids and bumpers. I'm running the tundra isolators and and 4runner top hats if i remember correctly. The...

    Consider me schooled! I knew some of the later 3rd gens had the multi mode, and i guess it would make sense the 4th gens do as well. Thanks Martin! Mike

    4th Generation 4Runner. Getting back into the fray

    A little of my league here, as i'm not super knowledgable on the 4th gens. My personal pro's for the 4.0 are timing chain!!!!! true 2wd option more common in the 4th gen 4runner (or so it seems) As you might notice, those pro's translate to maintenance: Yes the timing belt isn't that big of...
