Anyone got a 6 speed and Hemi in their 2500 or 3500? Looking for info on mpg highway and city. Gear ratio? Thanks!

My 97 has started to act up in the past couple of weeks. I thought it was cold weather/glow plug related, but having changed those and the gasket/harnesses, I am now at a loss. The truck starts great, but it bogs when I am not on the throttle. It runs fine if I stomp on it, but sounds like it...

I have read all the reviews and threads... Which would be the choice based SOLELY on longevity under a one ton diesel?? Price is the same for both. Thanks!

As some of you may know, i suffer from "vehicular A.D.D." I tend to buy, fix up, and sell a few rigs. I used to average about 6 months in a truck before i would look for something else. I have a short list of "regret selling that" trucks. This '97 is a replacement/homage for two of those...

The poor old dead horse is going to take a beating here, but does anyone know of a source for XZLs in 9.00 16 or 255/100r16? I have been looking around with no results. New would be nice, but used that aren't splitting or dry rotted would do. Thanks for any info!

This is my answer to all the people asking for pics pics pics. I usually have a camera with me, and although my heart lies in the tropical sun and surf, I do realize I live in a pretty awesome spot, and get to drive some neat stuff. Feel free to add some not so truckish pics here. I know...

I am not a link savvy guy, but I just got an email from AEV about their 2.5" kit finally being released. $899 includes everything. I'm sure someone else can/will post a link. I think I'm going to stick with my OME stuff. It is working great.

I find myself looking at 100 series these days as I want a V8 powered rig to act as a secondary tow rig, and possible replacement for the wife's Rubicon when the lack of quality begins to get to her. She is a dyed in the wool Toyota gal, so even with only 11,000 on the clock she has noticed...

I am still trying to find a work truck that isn't beat to death, and a 94 F250 with diesel and 5 speed has come along. I would normally avoid the TTB 250 and head straight to an F350, but this one is only 120k miles, and second owner who bought it in 98. It is very clean, and the price looks...

I am looking at two Dodges for use as a secondary travel, primary work rig. I am a builder and need something to haul materials, do dump runs and get firewood. The choices are: A '99 quadcab 2500 4x4 with 5 speed, or an '89 2500 4x4 reg cab 5 speed. Both have 250k on the clock. Both come...

I find myself needing a "affordable" truck. My 80 series Land Cruiser is the best all round rig I have ever owned, but as a builder, it is not quite the ticket. I am looking at a few older Cummins trucks, and while my heart lusts after another one, all I can find with a 5 spd is an '89 with...

I have a set of OME coils sitting on the porch waiting for me to have a spare few hours to install. I have been reading on JKO about installs and set-up. Seems to me there is a lot of conflicting stories. The coils are the 0-90 lbs up front, and the 175 lbs for the rear. I have read stories...

I am running 315 Procomp Xterrains now and love the size, but have a chance to swap for KM2s in 305. Both are 75-80%. The main reasons to consider this is a) noise level, b) I have always wanted to try the KM2s. I do go off pavement as often as possible, but like most of us, I am 80% or more...

My sister-in-law has an 02 DiscoII and no owners manual. She doesn't know where the transmission dipstick is. Anyone care to enlighten us? Thanks... And while I have your attention where are the likely places for engine oil to leak in the front part of the engine. It is wet everywhere...

Hi jeepers... I am a dyed in the wool Landcruiser guy, but have owned a moderately modded 05 Rubi 6 spd. (4"lift, big MTs, winch). My wife wants to trade her Tiguan in on a new Rubicon. We drove the '10 Sahara and frankly, hated it. No power and really soft minivan type ride. Is the Rubicon...

I am trying to figure out if there is any way to shrink or change size of images on iphoto. I tend to shoot mostly in jpeg normal or fine to save memory space, and end up with around 400kb files. One thing I want to do is size something for an avatar, which is usually 20kb maximum. Any...

I am looking for a Center Dif Lock switch for a 96 LX450. Anyone got a spare or wreck to sell one out of? Thanks

I have wasted a few more hours searching here and mud, with no results. Could someone please enlighten me as to exactly where the phh is? I now know it is only about 2"s long, and that silicone is thought to be the best replacement. Where is it and what is it 'really' called in Toyotanese...

I have been wanting an 80 for a looooong time. I decided to look at Craigslist last sunday night just to see what was going on. I found this LX450 for a great price. Called the guy, figured it was a good candidate. Listed my gas Dodge 2500. It sold on tuesday... I flew about 500 miles up...

As it says, TCM has the old Africa safari by MGM on right now...
