As for forspar diesel heat we use them on the boats. The heat is probably the nicest heat I've seen and the consumption is so low. With your ice box quality foam job the diesel heat may even be too much heat. I would install what you have I think you'll be really surprised. I dont think fuel...

Costco sells propane at many locations now and the rv guys say its usually really cheap as in hands down best deal if you can find a location selling it.

Oh and manual shifting is on the center shifter 1-6. No chasing stupid paddles around the wheel trying to find a gear. I have those on my Subaru by far the dumbest auto trend going. If the effing window wiper stock is stationary the damn upshift and down shift shure as hell should always be in...

I was digging into the transmission details also. The ZR2 has selectable diffs probably electric like the yota. The transmission is the same setup as the stock colorado/canyon. Which is a system GM has run for a long time. All the Suburbans through the early 2000's have the same awd, 2wheel...

They are two different vehicles. It like comparing a corrola and a Camry. No really it is. If you want better space, comfort etc get the LC. If being able to wedge into tight spots and cost is more important get the 4runner. After having both I will say one thing. I wont ever own a 4runner...

Fresh stock. OEM is good Slee is better but never felt like dumping that kind of money into car. I'd rather get a new set of racing sails on my sailboat. The LC width makes it far far superior to the skinny 4runner when it comes to highway handling.

The big tires vs gearing is a big mileage hit. The fwc 2.8L diesel guys on near stock sized rubber report around 25mpg if you keep speeds reasonable. Diesels are a different animal for sure. I doubt the Habitat on the 2.8L diesel would even register in 65mph and under speeds regarding a mileage...

My dad is considerably older than you 78 and has the same back issue. He has been doing a stretch rutine in the mornings that he sorted out with a specialist. He rides his bike between 12-17 miles 5 days a week. If he doesnt do that he can hardly walk. If he does all the above he plays golf. My...

Yep flat track is good stuff

Very puzzeled by this ^ The LC is all springs the 80 was too. The seating in the LC is dramatically different both by width, height and front to back spacing. 260k with no interior refresh the Seats will be beat down and nothing like one with 100k on the clock. Having owned both for many yrs...

The Led lighting is flexible tape style strip lighting. In my case we have two privacy internal walls. I placed a heavy waxed floss stitch over the the led strip about every 2-3 inches. Again this lets the led strip move some during packing and unpacking. My 12v charging center sits on its own...

If it turns into a common refill. Pickup a new oem radiator cap. The parts store generic caps are junk avoid them.

I have a similar set up in our original Lifetime 4x6 tent rig. I created loops using heavy waxed floss loosely holding wires to seams to avoid impacting water proofing. The loose loops let the wiring move when the tent is packed. I used automotive plugs which get plugged in at setup and...

I tease my LR owning buddy that all his go to trip buddies are Toyota owners. He jokes "Smart LR owners always have a toyota on call you never know when British electrical creativity requires a tow" ha.. Cool trip thanks for sharing.

The geos we had on the Sequoia were not great. Its a heavy SUV hard on tires they wore out pretty quick and I had two leaky tires after an easy dirt road trip. I think they are decent light cuv type tires but I wasnt impressed with them on the heavy Sequoia. I have 40k now on the BFG Rugged...

I think some other guys have done road side bed spray coatings. That stuff is pretty amazing but I would ask around to see if any bonding challenges exist for plywood use. Thats the stuff I would think of using first assuming the bond to plywood works ok.

End grain exposed in a channel that may trap water can be what rots a rig with good sealant on top and bottom sides.

As in the road side of the wood or interior side?

I grew up with big cutting horses no doubt that horses tear up trails. Try hiking in the cascades after a pack outfit has gone up the trail. Large rocks are turned over and loose, trail steps are tore up and thats dry trail damage. Wet trails as you pointed out suffer excessive damage from...

I miss my cherry 93 we up sized/modernized also. Picked up a late 05 Sequoia. Its no LC but gets it done we'll enough. Surprisingly good in stock form with just a stock size tire upgrade. The 4.7 was a huge step up from the I6. The crash safety is nice too especially hauling family. The thing is...
