    2012 Jk Stock Bumpers

    You might want to call your local auto parts dealer. I would imagine the 2012 bumpers have value to them - I sold the front/rear bumpers off my 2011 Tundra for about $700... Regards, BWJ

    Bigwapiti's 2011 Tundra build...'BIG NAMBE'

    Exactly ~ Reality and camera shots don't compare. That is why I tried to qualify the pics as being 'dimmer' and emphasized the limitations of my camera at night. I would say that the light output is truly exceptional. Much better than a smallish camera can ever portray. Here is a daytime...

    Night shots of lights... All, Here is my attempt at some night shots for the lights. Please note that these shots are 'dimmer' due to the limitations of my camera at night. I tried to 'standardize' the shots the best that I could. I took these earlier this year. The grass is about knee...

    WHAT WINCH DO YOU HAVE ON YOUR FULL-SIZE TRUCK? ...pleez post pics...

    Warn VR10,000... I would recommmend that you look into a VR series. They are manufactured with 'foreign' parts according to Warn's specs, and they are assembled in the U.S.. Their rationale for this line was to compete with the other cheaper Chinese winches available. Warn's warranty is the...

    Best Toyota for expedition/world travel. Tacoma, Tundra, 4runner or FJ?

    Another vote for Tundra... I had a 3rd generation 4runner for a few years previously. It was in our family for over 10 years...I decided to go with the CrewMax Tundra due to the room and power. Agreed, this truck is not a rock crawler, however, it is fine for what my family needs are ~ big...

    Considering A Trailer

    Depends on your 4runner... WaySlowWhitey, Welcome aboard! You have come to the right forum... I was faced with the same dilemma last May. I had a '98 4runner with a mild lift, armor, winch, 31" tires, etc...I found the 4runner to be underpowered for my needs. I have an Outlander Sherpa II...

    Any built up Sequoia's?

    We have an '04 Sequoia. I looked into buying a smaller vehicle for my wife, and taking the '04 to 'ExPo' it out. In my research, I found that it shared components (drive train and platform) with the 4runner at the time. I felt uneasy stressing those components with a vehicle that big by...

    EXO bumper pics... All, Well it's been about 1 week since I had my EXO front bumper on. I am glad the front is on. Again, Atomic Fabworks did an INCREDIBLE job installing / wiring / and fabricating to make this dream a realization. EXO is currently developing a rear tire carrier for the...

    The Family Daily Driver ExPo Rig Thread!

    Originally, I had a 1998 Toyota 4runner. It was fine for the flat states of Midwest, however, it struggled immensely on hills towing my Outlander Sherpa II. My wife's DD is a 04 Sequoia with a V8. Much more power didn't even know the Sherpa II was back there. I considered buying her a new...
