    FJ: Sleep Inside or tow teardrop trailer?

    Unless you are short in stature, you have got to take the rear seats out to make enough room to stretch out and be comfortable. I'm 5'11" and tried to stow away inside my FJC one night when the wind was just beating my tent to death. With the back seats just flipped forward it was not a good...

    Nitro Gear Toyota Tundra Crewmax w/ 6.5' bed

    I remember seeing a small profile shot this truck in the front pages of 4WDToyotaOwner magazine well before they ran their article about it, asking if anyone could spot what was different. As someone who was looking at Tundras at the time the longer bed stuck out like a sore thumb... In a...

    Land Cruiser 200 Ute Bed

    I'll bet that LC200 Ute has a longer bed, lol. Amen to that, Brother! Testify!

    CONFIRMED! Reliable sources state 2014 will be the last FJC Model year

    I've often wondered how much the torque curve changed with the Dual-VVTi update. I've never been able to find actual dyno graph for the stock Dual-VVTi motor to compare to the original. When I drove a 2011 FJ it didn't feel as 'grunty' off the line as my '08, but it had nice roll-on...

    Air tank to replace spare tire?

    It's a nice idea, but my luck isn't good enough for me to entertain such ideas. I agree with Lee's quote here. Once that sidewall goes, the tread face peels apart, or the tire blows outright no amount of compressed air and fix it doo-dads is gonna take the place of an actual spare tire...

    Show us your Toyota 4runner, tacoma or truck.

    Kudos to you, t4rman. Our company sent over twenty handheld Trimble GPS units (sub-meter & sub-foot accuracy) to various agencies and companies there to help survey the damage path, re-map the streets, and generally provide on-site data quickly in order to help speed up the relief/assistance...

    Bundu Box Substitue?

    I got a 60s-era container that looks exactly like that from my father that is definitely made from aluminum.

    CONFIRMED! Reliable sources state 2014 will be the last FJC Model year

    Well there you go... Maybe now the rest of the Toyota 4x4 community can stop going on about how 'poor' the FJC is... No wait, now they'll just go on and on about how poor it was. :elkgrin: In the meantime I'll still be enjoying mine (despite its quirks) for what it is and what it isn't.

    Tentsile Stingray Tent

    Cool. Might be nice in bear country. Fortunately I don't live in bear country... because I don't exactly live in tree country either.

    Thoughts on Quick Fists and Shovel Mounting

    Fortunately I don't have to worry about that kind of cold at my latitude, but I gotta ask... WTH was someone using their Fiskars shovel for that made that hollow steel handle shatter? I'd like to see some pictures of that carnage. :Wow1:
