    Toyota Losing it's Mojo?

    As stated, all manufacturers have design and build defects. Toyota "in general" handles them better. And most of their design defect "quirks" are easier to fix than many others. I don't like many of their product design choices. And I really don't like their dealers. Will I buy a new Tundra...

    Texas to Alaska to Texas. 2020 Honda Accord Hybrid driving on the Dalton Highway and the Dempster Highway. July/August 2023.

    We have a 2020 Hybrid Touring and I found the seats to be better than the EX-L. I do prefer the look of the new Accords though, since I am not a chrome fan. You don't need a turbo on a hybrid - the electric motor delivers torque without needing to spool up. No alternator, no starter, no...

    What happened to Rangebrover's LC200 build?

    Hoover Dam! My wife and son saw this and are now taking steps to secure my kids' college funds. I disapprove of your post.

    What happened to Rangebrover's LC200 build?

    The Google archive lists the thread as http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/111910-RangeBrover-s-LC200-Build/ When it hits this site, it says "Invalid Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator." Hmmm.

    Russian off-road vehicles that are in production today.

    No. The Lada Niva is a license-built Fiat Pantera, with some modifications to account for Russian manufacturing realities, like cast-iron front lower A arms and stuff. They sold them in Canada from 1991 until about 1994. The problem wasn't the quality per-se, just the qualities such a vehicle...

    Forest Service Road Adventure Mobile

    We upgraded to a Tundra 5.7L Crewmax a short while ago - they're awesome. I can't wait to see pictures of your new set-up and to see how it does up north. My sister used to live in Port Simpson, and then Nelson, so I spent some time up that way, and will take my family traveling up there once...

    Don't over drive the conditions!

    Nice clean spot on your front bumper. And yes, a Cherokee kill mark would be appropriate. Glad nobody was hurt, and maybe someone learned that 4 wheel go is not the same as 4 wheel stop. Unlikely though, in this day and age.

    8 Raptors take on The Mojave Road - Jan 7 & 8 2012

    Looks so sweet, and it must be even sweeter to do it in a truck with that much power on tap. Do you have the GPS waypoints by chance? ETA: Nevermind, they're in wikipedia. Doh!

    Belgium Iltis: Belgium to Japan rijstkorrel.be

    Uff... the Iltis. I swear that on every exercise and deployment I spent more time under the hood of one than driving the thing. Mexican-made rejected Volkswagen parts assembled in Quebec. Then some fool removed the fuel filter because it was clogged and you had to stop every couple of km's to...

    ARB 4Runner Build

    Light racing and some other company make replacement UCAs that have a great deal more adjustment. It's serviceable as it is IMHO, although with either the factory or recommended settings the 2010/2011 is pretty squirmy. On my (stock) TE that seems to only happen when empty though - when stuffed...

    ARB 4Runner Build

    I'll be excited to see ... the bill of materials. :Wow1: So that I can start saving, and work on convincing the wife. Any word on non-lifting higher-weight springs for those of us that still need to fit our 4Runners into 6'8" parking garages?

    2010 4Runner MPG's

    I'll get about 21 mpg on relatively flat highways, but once it gets hilly, mileage drops to about 18, as measured "click to click" when filling up. My 4runner's display is rather pessimistic. Mileage also seems to take a hit when going over 70 on mine. My '11 TE is stock except for the sliders...
