    Second Gen Tundra AIP Failure Club

    I'm about to go pull the codes, but...you know...it's gotta be: it Christmas trees the dash lights, chucks itself into limp mode, allows itself to be erased a while, seems to have some bearing on the temperature out when it decides to do it. Naturally, I picked up the truck 3 years out of the...

    Dual Spare Tires...

    I just got two. Free finds on Craigslist, some guy's landlord abandoned two Mud Grapplers...35s for an 18 rim, not a bad match for the Exos truck has now. It depends where you're wheeling and how hard, I guess. I like to air down pretty considerably when I hit a trail, but my last Toyota had...

    Show us your Toyota 4runner, tacoma or truck.

    Good guesses! The T got ravaged fairly well---sideswiped by a minivan that was trying to pass on a curve, which tore a wheel off the rear and broke the long-side tube off the Dana. I got a call from the guy who bought it to come to the yard the next day and help determine what was salvageable...

    Long-time reader of Ex-Po just getting back into this after a few years. Until recently, I haven't had a project vehicle for a while but have appreciated all the ideas and tech here. It's been a great site for daydreaming and brainstorming. I had a 1996 T100 for almost 20 years and a quarter...

    tents vs fire?

    Three pages of good advice. Make sure your bladder is nice and empty when you crawl in. It's amazing how much heat the body wastes in keeping the waste water warm. I dedicated an old BPA-full Nalgene to be a midnight break bottle, as well. Mark it! You don't want to drink out of it again. It...

    Couple other older photos in the Fireside thread. At the risk of xposting, I trimmed this to the most current and favorite pics. 96 T100 Dana44/44044 front by a shop formerly owned by another member here Blistein 5125s Stock rear...housing...FROR Disc/Full Float conversion, Moser 4340 shafts...

    1995 T100 new project

    Unless TJM did another run, their last bumper for a T100 sold in...1999 iirc. I bought it, spent about three hours arranging shipping (they would only get it to Seattle), then got a call the next day telling me it had been sold and mis-inventoried earlier the same day, with no plans to make any...

    Bear safety in RTT's and soft sided campers/tents

    Right there. ^ There are two further subgroups of bears up here among the brown, black, and white that I didn't see mentioned - human habituated and not. Things like cubs and food caches aside, I would much rather run into a NON-human habituated bear. They behave more like one would expect a...

    To Sway Bar, or not to Sway Bar??

    I made a set of these years ago and found they worked well. But like a lot of other folks remarked, I went on to become lazy about reconnecting them and finally pitched the sway bar altogether. http://toyota.off-road.com/trucks-4x4/tech/swaybar-disconnects-toyota-cheap-tricks-18343.html
