Madlypat, Yes, using crutches does limit what you can do with your hands, but I've been able to find ways to adapt to most things, though if I needed to use two hands simultaneously, I'd put down one crutch and use the other to stable myself -- I put my 'stump' over the hand grip and pull the...

Just saw this post, I am a right AK, about 6" above the knee. I lost my leg to cancer at 20 years old, I am now 48. Until 4 years ago, I used a prosthesis for all my activities; I have very good health insurance, I have a C-leg, spare leg for cycling, etc. Despite this, I grew frustrated with...

New to me 2012 Taco TRD Off-Road Look what followed me home! I've been hunting for a deal on a used Taco for sometime. Found a deal on a '12 TRD OR AC with less than 3,000 miles on the clock! It was in Seattle Wa and I live in Santa Barbara, so quick flight up to Seattle and road tripping...

Gorgeous truck and love that roof top tent. Nicely done.

Well, lost the auction! Cool rig: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1993-Toyota-4Runner-SR5-/371823786832

I appreciate everyone's perspective and input -- thank you. I understand the concerns about wiring, the swap was done using this: http://www.offroadsolutions.com/products/ors-3-4l-conversion-harness-for-3vz-e-and-22r-e-vehicles/ which is a big deal as the harness is professionally made, for...

I've been looking for a new rig that I'd eventually take to Baja, and use for trips to the mountains hiking and camping. Came across a 1993 4Runner that is exceptionally clean and has a professionally done swap (from a 1999 4Runner) 5VZE-FE 3.4L + A340F Auto. General thoughts on these swaps...

After an exhaustive search, many test drives, comparing purchase price, resale value, safety, capability off road, and gas mileage, I eventually settled on getting a used 4Runner in the 2006-2009 range. Turns out, I could not find a decent 4Runner in that age range with low-ish miles for a...

Yes, researching those as well, though the prices seem to be much higher. I am willing to go higher in price if warranted. Years I should consider? DJM

Tons of useful info here, thank you. I had not thought about the size of the XJ with regards to the big dog -- I'll need to look into that. Are the WJ bigger in terms of storage capacity? Thanks, DJM

Hello, This might be a bit off topic, but I am unsure where else to pose this question. A year ago, as part of downsizing, my wife and I sold our beloved 4x4 Sportsmobile. We are now to the point where we'd like to buy a vehicle that is capable of getting us up to the mountains in winter...

Well, just following up like a year late. :( In case anyone is still interested: The slider is fine for us -- we did not have a choice as that was how the van was equipped when we bought it. The slider does not hit the flares, so all good there. I suppose the barn door can mount extra...

Hey Chris, Will your bumper fit 2008+ E series? Thanks, DJM

Great info, thanks. Price is a bit high on those, more than 1/3 the cost of Ujoints bumper! Cheers, DJM

Hey Crab, Figured Chris would chime in when he had a moment -- will ping him if I he does not add his thoughts to the thread. Thanks, DJM

Hello, My wife and I are planning a trip in the near future -- we'll be heading into the Cascades (Oregon) for a several days of camping. I'd like to mount a winch on our van, but my research suggests we'll need an aftermarket bumper upon which to mount the winch. The aluminess bumpers are...
