The 105 is very similar to the 80 series. The IFS 100 series has wider frame rails so less room for such a water tank. You can order the Long Ranger tanks directly from the company or that is what they told me the last time I talked to them. Cost is high and getting higher as the dollar gets...

That Dana Arcflex Terraplane is a great backpack.

TJM also makes plastic food grade ones that hold 20L each side. Long Ranger makes a 122 L aux fuel tank/55L water tank for the rear where the spare tire goes. This would be my choice. Stainless steel sliders/water tanks... that could be slick!

But your race hoods are likely much larger than a Tacoma hood. You also probably use 4 hood pins, right? Could a non-reinforced fiberglass hood work long term with the OEM hinges and locking latch? On a vehicle that sees washboard/corrugated roads?

In my experience, a fiberglass hood would not be significantly lighter since it will need a metal frame anyway. So it's added cost with no benefit plus the drawbacks of fiberglass. The only reason to do it in fiberglass is to change the style.

I have not seen any that were near OEM quality but I'm sure they're out there... for a price.

Kermit has the Campmate Kitchen and it's been discontinued for about a year now. Your best bet of finding one would be eBay or Craigslist.

Ah, I knew it had to be a Toyota from the 80's because of the digital dash. jh504, personally I'd opt for the 93+. I've never driven the 3FE motor but my 97 FZJ80 was barely tolerable as it was. And if you are looking to add lockers, you'll definitely spend more $$$ on adding ARB's to the FJ80...

MoGas, what kind of truck is that? I don't recognize it.

Just saw a video on this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7f3zY9N_mBA

madizell, Thanks for taking the time to write all that. It is definitely something for me to think about. I will have to weigh my rig and check its weight balance. I can only guess it's about 7500 lbs loaded with a little more bias to the rear. mauricio_28, I just read your Pirelli Scorpion...

madizell, my E load Toyo MT's at 45psi are not comfortable but at 35-38psi, it is fine. So, actually, I am hoping you are correct. But did you look at the Nitto link: http://www.nittotire.com/assets/safety/Replacing%20Tires%20on%20Light%20Trucks.pdf#search=%22p-metric%20lt%20load%20range%22...

Keep in mind about using LT tires over P-metric, you will need to increase your tire's air pressure for the same load, i.e. a P-metric tire might require 35 psi at 2500 lbs load while an LT tire could require 45 psi. So, your ride will get more harsh. Running a lower tire pressure on an LT tire...

Believe it or not, the snorkel is OEM.

I don't imagine it to be too difficult to swap over. it's just a matter of money.

That is indeed small! Here are some more! http://www.roadsideamerica.com/set/church.html

There are many Scout fans on here, including myself, who would love to see a thread on your build-up. :jumping:

Thanks!

I have not seen the 4x4labs tire carrier up close. Can somebody explain the design of the latch system? Do the two swing carriers just latch together and that keeps it closed? Where are the stops to prevent the carriers from hitting the hatch, the gas shocks? Are the inside ends of the swing arm...
