My folks bought a corola wagon in 74. they gave it to my brother in law with 475,000 miles on it. he sold it to his cousin for $500. last we heard 8 years ago the car had 680K and was running dominoes pizza delivery in Ft Lauderdale. All original engine. a few timing chains but rest was all...

So here's a question. How do these cans do with the bloading issue in the sun. Anyone who uses a plastic can for the mower know that in the sun those things will expnd big time. That is my only concern using the sceptor fuel can. I am ordering some fuel cans next week and trying to decide...

We were planning to hit big springs and that is on the way. I never considered looking for dunes and that would be cool to check out. I am working on finalising plans for that part of the trip right now. I will keep it in mind. Maybe a day there would be fun. I have never done dune driving. Is...

HMMM I don't know maybe it's cause I'm a southern boy and grew up barefoot. Hell I still spend a bit of time bare foot. It looks like they actually took a mold of a southerners callused foot to make the sole of the contraption. Hell my callused bare feeet used to look like the bottom of that...

LOL well I'm a bit of a collector. One day I would actually like to open a museum for real. I have several here at my buisness, several in my garage. I keep 2 in the adrondaks, 2 in minnesota, 1 in georgia, a 1910 wood canvas Old Town is getting restored in South carolina right now, and a few at...

For lakes a canoe all the way. It's what the craft was designed for. It will be fast, efficient, stable (when choosing the right design), easy to use ( no inflating and assembly), and in the wind will be easier to paddle and control. The cataraft was really design for swift flowing rivers and...

Ha your right about that! Trucks looks great!. I looked at the Bad lands stuff before I decided to make my own, Of the aftermarket tube bumpers I liked there's best. Shipping is the companies biggest issue though.

I guess what I was really trying to say is that they are closer then they have been in a long time but are not the same. Since the Hilux truck have a different body they will most likely make one for the Hilux do to the shear numbers that will be sold world wide. However since the Tacoma is a...

As far as I know the Aussie verion of the Taco is now really the same truck. It has a slgihtly different front end but in reguards to suspension and drivtrain they are the same. This maybe the hold up since the fenders are different on the non us hilux and they would need to create a snorkel...

Timing belt and water pump at 70K! That's a little early in my opinion. If they are legitimetly bad do them obviously but if not then I wouldn't worry about it. I would suggest doing all your belt and hoses, u joints if they havent; been done yet, brake inspection, all filters including fuel...

Oh man Baja you are correct. Getting all the stuff together to do a quality install is a major time consumer. Today I got the OME coilovers insatalled. It took about an hour total. Everything went like clockwork. Just undid the sway bars, undid the bottome bolt poped it out then the 3 bolts up...

Oh man well we finally made progress today. I got the truck and all the goodies down to the shop. Inventoried everything and got all my measurements for batt wires got a list of other things like grommets, fluids fastners etc I will need. We got all that stuff and assembled the front OME...

Well in my mind the tranny and other options debates are simple. Part #'s and set up time. Now I know that you guys are gonna say well they make the taco in a 5 speed why not the d-cab. Well Almost all "work" trucks sold are reg cabs. Not to many crew cabs at all. Those D-cab rigs are sold...

Ya know when we were in australia we went to a wildlife rescue on Kangaroo Island. The # of injured animals they kept was astounding given the size of th eisland. They had about 20 Koala and up until early last year they allowed people to handle them on a private tour. The reason they stopped is...

My problem has not been witht he rotors at all. In fact I could not be happier with the front discs. It is the rear drums I hate. Besides all the constant disassembly to clean out the mud, I now have unstopabble brake squeek. I have tried everthing from switching pads (3 times) using steel wool...

Oh man you guys are living the dream!!! this willtruely be an awesome adventure. Hopefully in a few years Gen and I wil be in a position to do this.

Hella cool rig.

Awesome!!! I'm gonna get a copy.

Well of the shots of my rig in Tellico these are my favortes. They were taken on a trail called upper 2. Bone stock suspension and 31's. don't let anyone tell you it can't be done! When I dropped into the whole all I heard was "STOP STOP!!!" then after about a 5 second silence I hear "SOMEONE...
