M/T.

I wheeled with a guy for a couple years that had a set of Trxus tires on an almost identical 4Runner to mine (we were both the same year/model, locked rear, open front, 285/75/16, same lift, shocks, nearly identical weights, different color). I rode with him numerous times but never drove. I was...

If you need a garage tomorrow morning to get things cleaned up, I'm in Kittery, ME; probably about 15-20 minutes from where you are. Good luck with the trip. That Sprinter looks like an awesome base vehicle. I enjoyed your VW build for sure and look forward to what you put together with this.

I have a set of ******** Cepek FC II on a 2001 Dodge Ram. Unsure of total mileage on them but somewhere around 15k through all conditions (mud, snow, highway, towing, dirt roads) over two years. I can't say enough good about them. Awesome in anything I have been through (keeping in mind that they...

I've seen your truck before. It looks good. That's The XMLs are big. They wear very well but are very stiff and have poor traction in wet or cold. They are also super heavy. Sounds like a good setup. In my 4Runner I had a platform that fit behind the second row that was permanent. The front...

I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote Dana 60. Fixed.

ExploringNH's 2000 Ford Excursion build - Now with more pop-top! 1/8/2015 - Work on pop-top roof started. Current state of chaos: First Draft Mockup After building a 4Runner for tight NH trails and a Defender 110 for a trip to South America, I knew what I wanted next. Something...

Depends on who is working the counter. I (hypothetically) paid $20 to get back into Guat.

Saw this today and thought it was interesting. The price is right for what you get and there seems to be a promising future. It will be interesting to see where these go in the future. I can't imagine it would be too hard for them to add sensors and programming to check for coolant or exhaust...

I ran a 50" Rigid Dual row through Central/South America and loved it. I also had two 10" single row Rigids. They were amazing lights. I now run a set of 10" single row and a 30" dual row of the Jasper Offroad brand and I can't see spending the money on Rigid again. They do put out more light...

Just what I gathered from reading and researching. Seems that most first hand reports of slipped liners came from vehicles that were somewhat new in ownership. How often do you see posts in the last year or two from people who have slipped liners? I'm not saying that it doesn't happen but it...

I think the Tundra 5100s are a great match for the front end of the 3rd gen 4Runners with that setup. It will ride a lot nicer with a bumper and winch up front but it is still very comfortable with the stock gear. On road is an improved ride over stock (in my opinion) but off road it is a...

My thought is to go ahead and grab an 04. Anything with liner issues will have been resolved at this point since 95% of these are over 100k miles by now. The 2004 has the 4.6 which is a far better match to the Discovery than the previous 4.0L. As for parts being more expensive than a...

Stock 2004 Discovery II.

As low as possible, as high as necessary. Keep it as low as you can while getting the tire clearance you need. Decide your tires and the rest should fall into place. Different terrains, climates, and personal requirements will dictate the tires you need. Once that is figured out you will know...

I think you would be happy with the LED bar over an HID setup. Personally, on such a big truck, I would try to fit a 20-30" dual row LED bar on the front somewhere.

Fly to the UK, spend $10k on a Defender 110. Travel with the rest of it. :sombrero:

In New Hampshire it is illegal to modify ANY component in the suspension. Any lifted truck is technically illegal. Does that mean that it is enforced? No.

1) Nope. Bone stock. 2) It ran off of a normal, yet high capacity, starting battery. Truck was rarely left for more than one day without starting the truck. At one point it was left for three nights and still started just fine. That was the longest I let it go. usually if I was leaving the...

I did a lot of work on soundproofing my Defender 110. A headliner was absolutely the best improvement. Post 37 is the start of the headliner stuff. There is some info about what I did for sound deadening in the doors and dash earlier in the thread...
