    Dakotas: 1st Gen vs. 2nd Gen?

    Not to derail your thread further, but what if you swapped in an overdrive auto or stick transmission out of a newer Dodge into an FSJ? Wouldn't qualify as an engine swap and I bet it would get 18mpg, just from the lower RPMs at highway speed....

    WTB 255/85s

    I'm going to guess he'll say ******** Cepeck Fun Country IIs and he'll also mention how much he wishes they came in a 255/85!

    Dakotas: 1st Gen vs. 2nd Gen?

    If you've got your heart set on a Dakota, I would suggest you get the next gen, thinking it would be more refined, quieter, hopefully better brakes and maybe even more refined engines with better mileage. We had a 95 with a V6 automatic and it was comfortable enough, our kids fit in the...

    How tall?

    I'd have to say that with the towing you'll be happier with the 5.29s....of course you'll need to take that with a grain of salt: I have no direct experience with the 3.4 in a loaded 4Runner - I'm just guessing.

    Lipstick on a Pig: The 10 Don'ts of Vehicle Modifications

    No, no, no! The stacks have to kept low and accessible. I can't heat up my can of Pork-n-Beans if I can't reach the top of the stack!

    Top Ten Vehicle Modifications for Overland Travel

    x2 I was looking forward to reading some decent articles on vehicle prep, which can be applied to your vehicle of choice. My understanding is, just because a certain vehicle is not mentioned in an article - or hasn't attained Pinnacle status - does not mean it is wholly unuseable. The...

    Help me decide

    My eccentrically speaking 2 cents: Keep the Tundra. I have to agree with SCT100, I do not see any gain over what you already own by buying something else. Yes, as Haggis said, you would gain some aftermarket support, but realistically, what are you missing that you need? I also have to...

    Would this be a good Idea?

    It's on a Tacoma not a Tundra, but CLynn85 was able to put an 8274 on his 2nd gen Tacoma. The size between the 1st gen Tundra and the 2nd gen Tacoma are similar. Should be quite feasible on a Tundra. But if you don't take it, I'll give $45!

    Past the point of no return...

    Please, they already have your bank info on file.....probably only ask about any particular mod just to be polite and make you feel like you are making the decisions....... I've never been a deisel kinda guy, but I know sweet V8s when I hear them! A 4.7 (or newer 4.6....or better 5.7) would...

    Cooper Discoverer STT in a 255/85-16?

    Coopers website news section has what little info there is and there is a poor quality youtube video from SEMA with it pictured. YouTube - Cooper Discoverer S/T MAXX from Cooper Tire & Rubber Co. ID10082 Actually I guess this post should be on the ST thread.....

    I think if IPOR can put a 4.7V8 into an FJ55 they can find a way to put one in your little truck! That should fix most power issues you would encounter....

    Cooper Discoverer STT in a 255/85-16?

    Welcome to the forum. The winter traction on the ST is fine, certainly as good as a BFG AT, better than if the snow is heavy and wet. I'm not sure how old the current pattern is, but I read a rumour somewhere that the Discoverer STMaxx is debuting in February. I'm holding out on until...

    Past the point of no return...

    Looks good! It really makes those tires look small, though! General observation from post #81 don't you have to have hair for it to be on fire?

    dyogim's 00 tundra build

    Great job on the wifes part finding that bit of info - never heard of that one before. See, now there's another little quirky bit of info I need to keep in the back of my skull - just in case! I hate hate hate wiring issues! Of course, good job to you too, for actually taping the bare...
