    Thinking about a Tacoma

    I'm also considering a dclb Tacoma as my next vehicle (also for a four wheel camper eventually). The first gen tundra is just the right size I think too (or close to it), but everyone wants a ridiculous amount of money for an older rig with 100k miles. None of the new bloated half tons are...

    2012 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited - Ursa Minor J30 Pop Up Camper - Fully Built!!!

    Fortunately they were able to stop labor for now. Baby was in distress for a short time but stabilizer for 3 days of monitoring. Back at home, and now I have to head back to work. In the mean time I burned through 7 days of PTO (two weeks pay) and have bought two last minute plan tickets in a...

    Ursa Minor Pop-Top Jeep JK

    Slight wind noise from above the driver door. Packing a little rubber seal solves it. On mine, I can push a finger into the seal above my door and silence it completely, it's pretty easy to find. I think we discussed it several pages back, seems to be common, maybe a small anomaly with the...

    Clutch slipping on my 2013 Tacoma

    I did work for a dealer and they constantly looked for ways out of warranty work. The factory paid a fraction of what the shop billed consumers, and there is plenty of work and a LOT of dealers in the area from the same manufacturers (at least four from any given manufacturer within 20-30...

    2012 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited - Ursa Minor J30 Pop Up Camper - Fully Built!!!

    I had to make an emergency trip home last night. Baby is trying to come 10 weeks early and it looks like I'll be missing months of of work at best (can't very well be 2500 miles away right now), as will the wife. :( Considering serious offers.

    Clutch slipping on my 2013 Tacoma

    I don't know that you'll get much help unfortunately, being that it is a wear item on an over gross tacoma with bigger tires especially. It's much like asking them to cover brakes on the same rig. While you are clearly under the gross combined weight rating (which is the important number in my...

    Would you put a locker in ....

    In my 2012 with manual trans I have 4.88s. It's low but not that bad. If you're not carrying a lot of weight or towing, and travel at 70+ regularly the 4.56 would probably be more comfortable cruising. I would lock at least one axle since you're paying for labor anyway. An on board...

    Tech Question: Center Locking Dif on a Lexus GX470

    If any of those jeeps were JKs, they had a similar feature that jeep calls BLD or brake lock differential. For not having lockers, it works pretty in most situations like the a trac. As long as there is decent traction and only one tire is up, it's usually not bad. But on slippery surfaces...

    What vehicle to purchase?

    Shameless plug here, but check out my 2012 jk with j30 tent for sale. Link in my signature. Very well put together and solid. Extremely capable but comfortable daily driver. Pretty much everything you could want or need installed. I would also be willing to sell without the top possibly...

    All-Pro Offroad Apex series ALUMINUM front bumper

    Do they all come with the "cover" on the lower section under the winch? I always thought your bumpers looked good until they started showing up with the flat plate under the winch with additional gussets. Way too man near vertical surfaces on the front that really made it look terrible. I...

    OME lift clunk

    Steering rack mount bushings? Internal bushings in the rack? A lot of ifs rigs with agressive tie rod angles develope play on the outer ends of the rack from the extra leverage, I don't know if its common with the Toyotas but I would be looking there as well. Assuming there is no obvious...

    Turning radius on a JKUR, can it be made tighter?

    I felt the same way when I first bought my JKRU. My last rig was an f150 with 138" wheel base. In all honesty I just needed more trail time in the jeep. No it doesn't seem to achieve the same steering angle, but it is way more nimble once I got more comfortable with the size and seating...
