    1987 Toyota stretched Extra Cab

    I saw that not too long ago... Not trying to hijack your thread, but figured this was pretty interesting too...not mine, located in Houston. http://austin.craigslist.org/cto/1919528329.html

    Database for factory 1st gen. paint jobs?

    Mine has cruise but it unfortunately doesn't work...would've been really nice on my 5k+ mile road trip last month :smiley_drive: there's just a few samples on this guy's site: http://jamesdeancreations.com/toyota.htm I couldn't find my personal favorite, found on the bottom of my door...so...

    Is this a good deal? 1988 TOYOTA 4RUNNER

    X2 on this option. Great find 2aroundtheworld...very clean, and very low miles! I wish I had a sunroof and SR5 options. From what I've been told, the 3.0 doesn't have much more power than the 22RE so I figure go with a 22RE manual and enjoy the MPG. As long as you don't plan on drag racing...

    Odyssey PC1200 as starting battery bad idea?

    FYI, I just realized in my first post I made it sound like I already have a dual battery setup. I meant to say "I've been PLANNING ON doing a dual battery setup" The Odyssey may not be dead yet, I'm stuck at work for 48 hours so my girlfriend picked it up from the "guru". She quoted what he...

    Odyssey PC1200 as starting battery bad idea?

    Thanks for the replies folks. Yeah, I had a feeling that's what happened. Thanks for that info wrcsixeight, I've heard nothing but good things about Odyssey's batteries on this forum and others. Since this is my daily driver it's not very practical for me to hook the truck up to a wall...

    Odyssey PC1200 as starting battery bad idea?

    I've been doing a dual battery setup since I bought my truck in March. In May, my battery died so I bought an Odyssey PC1200 to replace it. http://www.odysseybatteries.com/battery/pc1200.htm Over the last few months, this new battery has drained low enough to need a jump several times. The...

    Prospective 87 4Runner buyer.. need sugguestions

    Since nobody's chimed in yet, I guess I'll speak up. Just my .02 cents, but I'd keep my eye out for a rust-free candidate. You're not in the rust belt or anywhere they use road salt so a little patience and you might score. $700 isn't much to pay for a 1G 4runner, but rust is one of those...

    Lost World Expedition (US-Central-South America)

    Glad someone asked this question. I'm trying to figure out what size tires I should go with on my Central & South American adventure. I was thinking of 31x10.5R15 BFG or maybe even something skinnier. Still don't know if I'll go A/T or M/T. I'd love to hear what's readily available down...

    Alcohol Stoves in Central & South America

    Never heard of Make Magazine. I just checked out their website though and it looks like my cup of tea. The only problem with Instructables is having to sift thru all the BS that people have on there. It's worth the effort I suppose. I'm still trying to decide what I'll use for a stove. I have...

    Alcohol Stoves in Central & South America

    Perfect. Thanks Paulj, I found the pdf. http://www.trangia.se/core/files/2222.Names%20of%20fuels%20in%20different%20countries.pdf Rest assured, if I'm drinking something I won't take any chances in that regard. Besides, from what I've been reading the grain alcohol doesn't burn very...

    anyone seen these? Cheaper alternative to Pelican cases.

    Great find. Seems like they have plenty of sizes to choose from, thanks!

    anyone seen these? Cheaper alternative to Pelican cases.

    http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/CASE535-1.html About half the price and the reviews seem pretty good. Anyone actually own these and have an opinion? There's only one smaller size to choose from, for $19.97

    Alcohol Stoves in Central & South America

    Many thanks for the replies! Not quite, mine is a homemade alcohol stove (aka penny stove, aka hobo stove) made out of beer cans. It's the same concept as these: http://www.instructables.com/id/Alcohol-Stove-4/ Do you mean the red Coleman liquid fuel containers, or the little green propane...

    Alcohol Stoves in Central & South America

    I'm in the early planning stages of a Pan-Am trip...still a couple years away, but I can't stop planning every last detail! Does anyone know how easy it is to find Denatured Alcohol South of the Border? I know it's widely available in Hardware stores, just not sure exactly HOW WIDELY...

    I found this site a while back too, but I recently went back to look around and I must say it's started something I can't stop. I'm hooked on the idea of driving to Tierra del Fuego now. :sombrero: The fact they did this in a first gen 4runner is what caught my interest. It's motivated me to...
