You would probably sell this faster if you advertised it on Pirate4X4.com or marlincrawler.com

Garmin has a new GPS coming out called the Montana that looks like it could work well for Overlanders. It has comparable features to the popular GPSMAP 276C and also incorporates the newest GPS features and is a handheld unit with a wired dock for you vehicle. It looks very promising as a...

Have you asked the sellers why the transmission was replaced? It is possible that they got the dreaded strawberry milkshake - that is when the transmission cooler hose inside the radiator breaks and contaminates the transmission with antifreeze. Most transmissions that suffer this need to be...

Thanks for the additional pics. Did you get a 255/85/16 spare and does it fit in the stock location under the truck?

Gregg, I use a Garmin GPSMAP 276c. In most cases you do not download "MAPs" from Funtreks (as far as i know) or other books websites, you download routes, tracks or waypoints (routes and tracks contain a collection of waypoints). The maps usually come from the GPS vendor (in my case GARMIN)...

Do you have any pictures from the front of your 4Runner you could share? I've been thinking about getting this size tire for my 99 4Runner but think they might be too thin - a picture would help in my decision. Thanks

I used the Funtreks Guide to Colorado Backroads & 4WD Trails (3rd Edition) , which I consider an excellent guide, and also downloaded all of the trails for the Ouray \ Silverton area to my GPS for when I visited there last summer. I mostly used the GPS on the trails but also referenced some maps...

Corax, your dashboard came out great. I might have to try that on my 85 4Runner as I have the exact same crack you did.

Wanted - 4 or 5 - 16" Tacoma or 4 Runner wheels cheap. Would like to pick up in L.A \ O.C. so I don't have to pay shipping. Thanks

Here is what I have for my wife to make her comfortable - she now goes with me on all trips. Tent she can stand up in - Eureka Timberline 6 0 degree sleeping bag - Cabelas Summitt Cot - Coleman Buddy Heater - Winter 12v Fan - Summer PETT Bathroom Solar Shower Long Underwear

I buy my OEM parts from here http://www.1sttoyotaparts.com/ I think they are part of Bob Bridge Toyota When I bought my new 22re short block three years ago they had the lowest price I could find.

What size are the wheels? 15" or 16 "

You should definitely cover the tent with a tarp to protect it from UV rays

According to the specs on Garmins web page the GPSMAP 640 does not save tracks, I would think that most of us Expo types would want a gps that DOES save tracks to review later.

Thats a nice rig you got there. I think the hand throttle is for either a PTO drive or hydraulic drive, and also sometimes used when using an electric winch.

Did you end up welding your ARB brackets to the frame?

That Rayovac and Nichia lantern look almost identical except for the remote on the Nichia. I have a couple of the Rayovacs and they work great. Might pickup one of the Nichias with remote for inside the tent.

My Scangauge II is able to show the transmission temperature on my 99 4Runner. That is the main reason I bought it.

Will be calling you guys this week, need to get one of those for my recovery kit. (Just didn't want to buy one from Wab Fab)

I am also using the hard PVC hose with pushlock fittings. I bought the fittings from McMaster Carr. I set this up in my 85 4runner in 2001 and the hose is still fine and I have not had any leaks.
