    3rd gen 4runner ARB bumper question...

    Since my 2000 Sport has the larger fender flares I purchased a Prado bumper to match the width. For my install I had to cut the frame horns off as expected, but I also ended up modifying the brackets (trimming and new holes) to mount the bumper where I wanted it. Once installed you will have a...

    2000 4runner Sport Build

    Ha! I needed some extra hp to counteract the larger tires, and I couldn't find any "Powered by Yota" stickers. :) In reality they were reasonably priced and the 4runner was looking a bit too monochrome. - Matt

    2000 4runner Sport Build

    Last weekend I took the 4runner on its first outing and was very happy with the way it performed. I built a small plywood extension and slept in the back of the truck which worked out perfectly. The SS1.2 lift exceeded my expectations and provided a nice ride and good articulation on the trail...

    On board air in a 2000 4runner

    Just a quick update... I used the compressor to air up all tires from 18psi to 35psi after a trail run this weekend. There was no noticeable heat build up and the outside and interior panels were not warm at all. - Matt

    On board air in a 2000 4runner

    Thanks. Since the compressor is directly in the flow of the cabin vent there is air circulating past it as long as the fan is on or a window is open. So far I haven't experienced any heat issues. The compressor is bolted to the sheet metal using rubber bushings to minimize the transmission...

    On board air in a 2000 4runner

    A few weeks ago I finished an OBA install in my 2000 4runner and earlier today I finally got around to doing a write up. For the install I mounted a SuperFlow MV-50 behind the trim panel in the driver's side of the trunk. No storage space was taken up, and I was able to retain the functionality...

    camp/work lights

    I've been planning to build a DIY LED camp light using 4 Cree XRE LEDs with a separate reflector for each. The LEDs would be angled slightly to give a wider light pattern, and assuming roughly 800ma per LED total power draw would be right around 12w (12v @ 1a) for all 4. This lightweight unit...

    How bad was that road? Really?

    All of the trails are in northern California. The first is on the Rubicon, the second is at Hollister Hills SVRA, I think the third is Pardos, and the fourth is the Slickrock trail near Lake Alpine. UK4X4, the white Pathy is a friend's rig, he had the wheels installed for a trip to Moab and...

    Tie rods and rack bushings

    I just put a set of poly steering rack bushings on my 2000 4runner last week using the parts from wheeler's offroad. Getting the rack out and removing the old bushings wasn't too difficult, for the bushings I used a combination of a big c-clamp and a mallet to work them out. The problem I ran...

    How bad was that road? Really?

    When the size of the rocks starts to approach the size of the rig the trail can look a bit "bad". Angles can be fun. Someone else mentioned shooting low angle shots up an obstacle. - Matt
