Back in my pickup days, I wanted something similar. Here is a good build on Pirate to take a look at: http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=915054&page=3

Thanks for sharing the pics! I love seeing all the cool desert terrain you guys have down south, especially through the eyes of an excellent photographer!

Glad to see you over here David! I never get tired of seeing the Black Beast..... sooooo NICE! Seems like a bunch of tall 3rd gen owners. I'm 6'6" also, and pushing the front seats forward at night is definitely the key to maximize sleeping space. I'm stoked to see what you come up with! I...

^LOL, I'm kind of a slacker over here on Expo - more lurking than posting! On that bombshell, here's some needed updates to this thread: I changed the suspension as I mentioned previously. I have had quite a bit of DD seat time with the new setup and a few offroad excurtions. As a whole I am...

Haven't posted over here in a while so here goes... 20120130-IMG_0991-2 by RickaShay24, on Flickr

Then I stand corrected on the LBJ item. As per the wheel bearings: the 2nd gen Tacoma has a sealed wheel bearing that nees to be replaced once issues arise where the first gens you can at least re-pack with grease and therefore are deamed serviceable. I too, realize of the issues with the...

IMHO the 3rd gen is a great platform and I even prefer it to the 1st gen DC Taco. As others have stated, the bed is too small and I like the 5link rear suspension more than leafs but I guess that depends on how you use it. If you need the extra carrying capacity, get a small utility trailer than...

A couple shots from our exploration run today: Close call! 20120108-IMG_0927 by RickaShay24, on Flickr 20120108-IMG_0926 by RickaShay24, on Flickr 20120108-IMG_0942 by RickaShay24, on Flickr 20120108-IMG_0944 by RickaShay24, on Flickr 20120108-IMG_0940 by RickaShay24, on Flickr Stuck...

Isn't the fuel gauge problem on 99+ vehicles? I've never had an issue with my 98' but that doesn't mean the problem doesn't exist. I swore I read it was a 99+ issue though... Also, the 4Runner uses coils front and rear, no leafs. If you want lift on a budget get OEM Landcruiser FRONT springs and...

I purchased a 98 4runner last year in February. It had 240kms and no locker when I bought it. (Not all 4runners have the rear locker. Mostly Limited editions come equipped and it was an option on the SR5's. The locker became obsolete in 01, I believe) It has been probably the best vehicle I have...

Come out for a run sometime!

Thanks for the link Brad! I enjoyed the read. Yah, the Crowsnest Pass is beautiful especially when you get in the backcountry, tons of history and amazing camping locations! Thanks Tim! Lol, despite all the banter on CT4WD we all really do hope you return to us one day for another run or two...

I went for a run in the Crowsnest Pass yesterday with a few buddies/CT4WD members from Calgary. Pretty mellow day as we didn't quite get into any of the trails I had planned on running. 20111119-IMG_0648 by RickaShay24, on Flickr 20111119-IMG_0642 by RickaShay24, on Flickr First Tracks...

The majority of the price difference comes from the massive amount of buying power that a nation containing 310 million people (the US) has when compared to a nation containing a mere 34 million people (Canada). It's exactly the same principle as Wal-Mart being able to buy goods from a...

No problem! T4R is pretty active so it probably got bumped out of sight in a day or two. How many wraps are your LC's? Do you have a build thread for me to check out?! Your gunna love the Tundra/LC setup, honestly every time I'm driving around town I think to myself: "wow I'm in a lifted 4Runner...

I created this thread over on T4R.org as I wanted to show my detailed thoughts in comparing the two lifts I have recently ran, the OME vs. TRD Tundra/LC. I can post this write-up here on Expo too if there is a desire for it! Keep in mind the measurements I gave are with my front Bilsteins set on...

Thanks a lot! It has been an awesome rig. I have recently swapped suspension setups to the TRD Tundra/LC lift combo on Tundra Bilstein 5100's. The truck now sits about 3/4" higher and is WAY softer, which I like as it is still currently my DD. Full Budbuilt skids are in the mail as well as...

Seeing as how you will be lifting the truck and are going to need an alignment afterwards, it may be a good idea to replace the inner and/or outer tie-rod ends as well (if needed). Also, might want to check your brake lines for adequite length after the lift, you might want to replace those with...

Glad to see you found the perfect setup for your needs! Your truck looks so clean!

^ I was currently reading the comparison in spring rates between the 881/882/TRD tundra coils and I can't remember the exact numbers! the TRDs are a Toyota spring, they are progressive rate, and are supposed to hold weight from a bumper, winch, etc better than the 881s.... That's my reason for...
