Well I'm definitely interested in this trip! Please post many pictures for those of us stuck in the AC behind desks! haha

I would go with the FJ simply because you like it more. You'll take it out more and enjoy it more than the Tacoma.... as long as you aren't worried about it breaking. I'd suggest giving it a proper once over, new fluids everywhere and maybe a belt or two. New brakes, new tie rod ends, new...

Definitely a big fan of the retro skinny tire look. I just wish they made a 35" skinny tire.

Oh so the new Venture edition also has a locker?! Ah I did not know that. I thought the Venture and Trail editions were the same but without a locker. Learned something new today! So the Venture edition is basically an Off-Road but with the TRD wheels and black appearance updates? Trying to make...

Looks great! Did it come with the cooler too?

You got this. My wife and I inherited a 4WD 2002 Ford Escape a while back and I went through the same process. Except... I only did the Rear diff and PTU, not the transmission fluid, in an apartment parking lot using a little hand-help pump. It wasn't bad at all. Drive it though and see if any...

Here she is in Big Bend at the beginning of our 6000mi western road trip. This was just after the 265/70 BFG KO2s were installed along with Bilstein 5100s set at 1.75 in the front with 1.5" Cornfed spacers and Airlift 1000 airbags in the rear. This suspension set-up is miles better than the...

Congrats on the 4Runner! Welcome to the club. Any modifications planned or wanted? Where will be it's first adventure?

Then don't drive a JKU. lol I just drove mine from Houston to Mobile for work (only like 7-hours) and on these roads, my back is shot. I really wish I would have brought my wife's 4Runner instead. It rides so much nicer. I'm planning on jumping on the Bilstein train as well here in a month but...

What are your thoughts on 4Runners? A Grand Cherokee? Or another Lexus? Wranglers are great and all but quite different. As such... we usually take our 4Runner on longer trips where rock crawling isn't the destination.

Yeah this is the most annoying thing about living in the south. Camping anywhere around here is miserable for those of us who don't like sweating through the night from April or May through October.

Just read your full write up on your blog. What a cool trail and such amazing things to see. As soon as this virus is over I have got to get this bucket list vacation crossed off!

Awesome pictures and cool stories! Amazing times we live in indeed. So what pushed you to the point of embarking on this new adventure? I envy those who can reinvent themselves and/or drop everything and chase after something new and relatively unknown.

Congratulations! That'll be an awesome new rig! What kind of lift? Are you adding it immediately or eventually?

Again, I can't get over the quality and attention to detail your work entails. You've inspired me to start using my welder and just start puttering around in the garage and make some stuff. Great work!

Those are some great builds! Looking forward to the progress!

I had a feeling I'd get some flack for this. lol I honestly do mean it but I only mean it on the JK or JL with the Pentastar V6 which is the common one. I am not saying Toyota vs FCA because that's a big difference. Everyone knows that. I just mean the Wrangler is simple and hasn't changed much...

I've been looking into doing one of these for a while now... just kinda curious if it's worth the cost for some more casual travelers like my wife and I who have never done a rally before.

Eh.... listen to the guy from "The Road Chose Me" and his reasons why he bought a JKUR for world travel. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> I didn't mention reliability...

I have a JKUR and a 4Runner SR5. I LOVE daily driving the JKUR. It's fun, small, tight, cool, and gets lots of compliments as everyone loves a Jeep. When the weather is good, there is no better weekend than a top off, doors off, weekend. And! It is by far the most capable out of the box vehicle...
