    How many run "old" rigs?

    That reminds of my old '82 Refried. I thought about the Buick conversion myself, I know they fit ok. I had the Buick 225 in my Commando and it was the best thing about that truck.

    How many run "old" rigs?

    I guess I fall into the older vehicle category. Partly because that is what I can afford, and partly because I enjoy modifying and getting to know my equipment. Since moved to Idaho in '93 I have owned: '82 shortbox Toyota 4x4 with 6 inches of lift and 36's-mostly reliable, not so great on the...

    slick setup. I am working on a roof rack myself right now for my '92. I considered going with aluminum for the rack, but i have settled on steel. I don't want to go too heavy on my rig, I wish I had a 3.4 to pull it around but the 22RE will have to suffice.

    Need tires soon- looking for opinions

    My vote is for BFG Mud Terrain KM2's. They wear well and work well in the mud. I ran a set of them on my Samurai and they were awesome. I have a new set on my 4runner and they seem to be pretty quiet and certainly do alright in the mud we have here in Idaho. I don't know how they would be on...

    That is some funny stuff right there. After the samurai nothing feels slow, with my bigger tires it would barely go 60 (and no way uphill). through my job doing archaeology I have had many trips into the Owyhee desert in southern idaho for up to 12 day camping trips. We always need to bring...

    Nice! Well I bought the 4runner. Turns out it has s W56 trans that was replaced at 100,000 miles (cost the owner 2850.00 according to the receipt in the glovebox). I am planning on some OME springs in the rear and a ball joint spacer for the front, plus a set of 31x10.50 all terrains for now...

    Advice from the gurus

    My budget is cheap. This 4runner is pretty clean and only 2200$. I figure another 1000 for tires, cheap lift and I should be good. I drove a 3.4 and I loved it, but here in Idaho they are expensive, and honestly I don't want a payment. Nobodys job is very secure right now...Heck I have been...

    Advice from the gurus

    Hi all, let me introduce myself. My name is Chris, I live in Boise and I am 42. I currently own an 89 toyota extracab and I am looking at buying a 4runner for desert use. I sold my '88 samurai last week after realizing that I needed something bigger for the family (and getting sick of the 50...
