    Derek's 'BST' Build II: FJ Cruiser

    Very excited to see your upcoming journey in the new FJ. I really like those OEM wheels and the silver color of your rig!

    New guy with some questions about a recently acquired 1997 4Runner.

    Oh great, sounds like the PO had a good grasp on the few issues that 4Runner owners sometimes face. That's great to know it has all been addressed! Awesome trips planned too... BC and Alaska are AMAZING. I'll be heading to the Yukon and Alaska again sometime in the next few years. I'd probably...

    New guy with some questions about a recently acquired 1997 4Runner.

    Nice 4Runner!! Same color as my old 98' which I dearly miss. (build thread if your interested: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/60951-98-4Runner-Dirt-Duster-Build) You definitely can't go wrong with Icon suspension, it's pricey compared to other options but they do make quality...

    Rookies on the Rubicon

    Is this the start of the slippery slope where your "Expo" rig turns into a Crawler?!?! haha The hunt for the ultimate do-everything vehicle is a path I'm all too familiar with.

    2012 JKL Rubicon build

    Wow Marshal, awesome Jeep! Some beefy parts have gone into this build. Those LED headlights are pretty cool too, I've heard a lot of good things about them. As you know, I'm a Toyota guy, but subscribed nonetheless. These JK's are so wicked and thanks for sharing!

    Hey thanks Marshal! Seems I had lots of followers with the 4Runner, and I too am really missing it. Regarding the pictures, yah I'm sorry not as good in this build with my photos in comparison to the Duster build thread. In my defence, the difference is being a University student whos at home...

    Rickashay's 97' LX450 - "Tom Cruiser" Build Thread

    Lol, the problem lies in that I buy all the mods, but the truck sits in my driveway. It's getting built so I can USE it! Oh well, I'm already trying to get in the office! hahaha My tool is out, fished it out via wireline last night. Now they are going back in to blast off the BHA and try to...

    Rickashay's 97' LX450 - "Tom Cruiser" Build Thread

    Jeremy! Thanks for dropping by. You have a link for a build thread on that nice FJ of yours?! The bulbous size of the 80 will be interesting on the Rubicon/Dusy but I'm sure it'll manage just fine with some good spotting. Hey David! Thanks man, work is good. Well sorta... I'm currently...

    Pretty excited, I have a pallet incoming from Slee and it holds numerous 80-Series "mods". Hoping to get it all installed in time for Thanksgiving weekend.

    Rookies on the Rubicon

    No problem, hope the write up gives you some insight. Actually, it's funny you mentioned that as I am planning on heading south at the end of April or early May, 2014. I was going to do the reverse, making Moab my first destination and then coming North through DV and the Sierras. If you'd...

    Tacoma vs Tundra

    I just bought a new-to-me 04' Tundra in the spring of this year - Limited, Ext. Cab, 4x4. I bought the truck as a work truck that would see 95% highway miles. My opinion of the 1st Gen Tundras is similar to what others have already stated: pretty much a 2nd Gen Tacoma sized vehicle, with a V8...

    Rookies on the Rubicon

    Enjoyed your cliff notes from the trip. Again, well written and interesting perspective after the dust has settled. Dusy Ershim?! It's my understanding that the Dusy is more difficult than the Rubicon. A group of fellow CT4WD'ers (Canada Toyota 4WD Association) hit it last year. Vehicles were...

    Thanks, cheers! Are you doing any trails over here before your real journey begins? I'd be down to show you around the Crowsnest Pass area if you wanted and if I'm available. It's gorgeous out there! Hey Mike, thanks! Not too sure to be honest. I've got to get some other things wrapped up...
