    Wife needs car: Highlander vs. 4Runner vs Sequoia vs Landcruiser, rough differences info?

    Sequoia for what you want seems like to me. Grand Highlander maybe? Yes they make a Grand Highlander now. Considerably bigger than Highlander. 4Runner aint very roomy inside. The new LC aint much bigger than a 4Runner. Now, if you're talking 200 series LC, and it fits the budget, then the LC...

    2015 Taco "build"

    Nice. Not overdone and yet plenty functional. I was assistant Scoutmaster for many years way back. Miss it sometimes.

    2017 Tacoma. Kick in the gut

    Give these guys a call. https://jarcoinc.com/ for an engine. We just installed one in an 18 Taco and it sounded and ran better than the original before it puked. We did valves on it when it was still under factory warranty. 80k miles later it laid down again. The Jarco is a reman, they also...

    Upgrading suspension, is OME worth the extra money over Bilstein?

    I have to agree here. Unless your carrying a large load all the time. Yes my 4runner is lifted and big tires. If I had to do over again Im not sure I would. Some BFGs one size over at most and factory shocks. It has Bilsteins on the front and I;ve been happy with them. The wifes 4th gen needs...

    Good Luck Trying to Trade In Your ‘22-23 Tundra ☹️

    So, we've seen 1 of these so far. The dealer 80 miles has had 3. Two other dealers in the same vicinity havent had any. For the repair part we replaced the short block, (Toyota does not offer a long block or complete engine) VVTI gears, chains, turbos and I forget what else. It was a big repair...

    2024 Casita 17' Spirit Deluxe

    Dammit man. We been talking about moving out of the SoCal Teardrop for a stand up. Then you go positn all this up. Not quite ready, but looks like a good option. Big enough for just us two and I'm sure still easy to tow.

    Advice requested:$35K budget, what are you buying and why?

    Sequoia. And should you need to haul something big or dirty occasionally buy, borrow or rent a trailer. If your hauling stuff all then time it may be different. For a mainly family rig though, be hard to go wrong with the Sequoia

    Advice requested:$35K budget, what are you buying and why?

    What are you in now? $35k leaves a ton of opportunity's. Heck find a $15k 4th gen 4Runner Limited with the 4.7. All wheel drive. Bulletproof drivetrain. Use the rest of the money for mods or the move. 1st gen Sequoia pretty hard to beat. Or any for that matter. 2nd gen Sequoia works also.5th gen...

    SO, school me - I am a Toyota guy, with a problem....

    You could do a drive shaft disconnect on the Taco most likely. https://torkliftcentral.com/remco-driveshaft-disconnect Our 4th gen 4runner was a dinghy to someone before we bought it. It had that set up on it. It did cause a slight driveline vibe at highway speed. I eventually replaced the shaft...

    Fraud Alert - SoCal Teardrops

    Man what a shame. We love ours we bought 6 years ago at Great Lakes Teardrops in Michigan. I think ours was one of the last ones built there. Only thing is the hatch seems to be losing some of its curve and takes a little effort to latch now.

    3rd Gen 4Runner…. The next thing

    The industry has caused the tech shortage, along with the customer. But thats a whole nother topic all its own. Not much to changing it. Cant hurt for sure.

    3rd Gen 4Runner…. The next thing

    In a word ”no”. 3rd gens are not bad at all with a lift of no more than 2 to 3 inches. I would still suggest a diff drop. The needle bearing they offer we have installed in a 2nd gen Tacoma and 5th gen 4runner. Did not help the slight noise some of them make with the lift. Run it on a lift if...

    3rd Gen 4Runner…. The next thing

    Yeah. could Be they got a piece of trash in the sensor hole during install. And if they had to get rough in the very least it may be damaged. I see that pretty often. And I mean it doesn’t even have to take a direct hit. Banging near it can cause it to fail. Especially at 25 years old. Our shop...

    Chaser #14. New adventures

    I didnt notice you had Homer. Checking it out was one of the trailers that originally had me looking for a 416. One of these days I'll talk my buddy back out of it . And I dont even know why.

    Chaser #14. New adventures

    Love these trailers. Sold my 416 to a friend. Regret. He has done it up nice though. SoCal teardrop 6 years ago and still love it. Even though we didn’t use 416 anymore I still wish I had it back.

    So, I looked at a 62 for sale today

    I passed. Seemed like about $4k to me in true value. I think it’s still sitting in the same place. Got work that needs to be done to both 4Runners anyway. Plus, I‘d rather be out mountain biking or camping than working on some rusty project car to maybe drive once or so a month. The right...
