    3rd Gen 4Runner…. The next thing

    Yeah, mine was doing it in 2wd also. Wonder if I'm recalling EXACTLY whether mine was it front joint of rear shaft, or... May it be a quick and inexpensive fix for you. But a quality one, too.

    3rd Gen 4Runner…. The next thing

    Front U- joint? Often that's felt from under the hump between the front seat and the dash, so it seems like its everywhere. Had it go out on a GMT 400 Blazer Silverado years ago. Good mechanic did it for 80 bucks back then.

    Folding saw

    Used to see the wood handled, wing nutted in any mom & pop hardware store, anytown USA. Maybe you still can in some but I couldn't find one at the big orange Home store, so ordered online. Try Forestry Suppliers online. They have Corona and Fenno wood or composite.

    Folding saw

    Yep. Ordered and just received my Corona 8 inch blade, wood handled curved pruning saw. Got it from Amazon but the seller was some forestry suppliers or something. I can say, the package did not have the corona name on it. It had no name on it, except on the stick-on bar code on the back...

    Folding saw

    Just one man's opinion, of course, but thank you. Do you have a wood Corona or a red handle?

    To window or not window

    Thought about this when I got the simple used Leer cap on the back of my GMC. My rear window is solid but the front window of the Leer which abutted the back window of the truck, well that has sliders. So I thought about swapping out my rear window for one with a slider but the $ was just too...

    GMT800: 1/2T vs 3/4T for towing duty

    Also, the price is not just about niche market today. 1) the Pandemic caused many work stoppages, parts shortages and restarts. A LOT of "Monday morning/Friday afternoon" vehicles out there MY 2020, 2021, 2022, and even 2023. 2)because of that, the price of a 3 year old car is...hovering...

    GMT800: 1/2T vs 3/4T for towing duty

    NOT in New England. Best used truck dealer around gets his from Georgia or something

    Traveling with a dog

    I have a Kurgo dog seat cover for the back bench seat of my truck. Covers the back of the back seat, seat of the back seat, and back of the front seats, and prevents the pup from just popping out on the center console and giving g me directions. And he goes in his Kurgo Tru Fit harness, and the...

    Folding saw

    I find these a little overly complicated for a simple hand saw, but I've seen them. They do work. And kudos for US made. May pick one up on general principle

    Folding saw

    I'm not knocking the Silky saws. But honesty, there is no need to overspend here. I love Japanese steel, have some real good Spydercos, but honestly, its not a matter of "special ops" tree branch cutting - it's a hand saw to cut 4 inch sapling size wood. I used to have an old curved (Corona...

    GMT800: 1/2T vs 3/4T for towing duty

    3/4 ton plain and simple. If you have read many posts here about towing, you would know that. I have a 2014 k1500 and its tow capacity if up around 9.5k pounds, but no way would I consider towing that amount regularly. Probably get away with it a few times but why? Just to prematurely...

    Folding saw

    +1 for Estwing. I use the leather bound handle camp axe.

    Does 1k lbs make a difference?

    The bigger question, why'd it take 16 posts to get to the point? You could have gotten more useful answers much sooner if you had given some details. We're a pretty helpful group here, so feel free to described what you are up to and I bet you get tons of helpful replies

    New guy with a couple questions.

    Slide in camper that's only 500 pounds? What kind is that? My Leer camper shell is near the 200 pound range

    New guy with a couple questions.

    Not having either of your specific setups, but having been cross country and camped out of a 10 year old half ton GMC with a Leer shell on it, and having leveled it prior to putting the Leer cap on, I am betting that 2008 era springs and shocks would need replacement just on general principle...
