All the covers suffer from living in the harsh elements, but I believe the constant wind buffeting is equally to blame. Having lots of experience with Hannibal, ARB, Oasis, and some Eazi Awn I would suggest adding an elastic "web" (i.e. Bed web) over the cover for both prolonged highway drives...

Thanks, it's really a clean truck. Of course that's partly a problem. I worry way to much about it getting damaged. In the end kind of the opposite of what I had intended when I decided to buy an FSJ, but I expect I am still better off starting with a low mileage clean truck rather than an old...

Here's my current project. Picked this one up after I sold my 1997 ZJ. Had some nice mods when I got it including 4 inch lift, 33's and the early limited wheels. I've since added Air Lockers front and rear, HEI ignition, and fixed a bunch of stuff. It's a nice former Wagonmaster's rig and a good...

OK, i'll bite. My fuel tank is fine, no rust so I don't need a factory replacement, but am very interested in more capacity as 21 gallons just isn't enough for my needs sooo, what year Suburban tank did you use and how much ground clearance is lost with this tank setup you're running? I've been...

No it's not common for o-rings to fail in Air Lockers. It's very common to screw one up during install, not set the carrier bearing preload correctly allowing the diff to move around under load, damage the adjuster nuts or route the copper internal lines incorrectly resulting in a failed install...

Nice set up Scott, I've seen your stuff develop over the past couple of years (in person I might add) and I am not going to be surprised when you build the finest tent assembly available period. Amazing when a clever person takes the time to test, think about, and build a product how good it...

Big daddy, how old are the plug wires on your jeep? It's very common for those 4.0's to stumble if the wires are breaking down. If they have more about 15K on them I would tune the motor (cap, rotor, wires, plugs) before I looked at sensors. Rarely does a sensor cause a misfire, it's almost...

Front mounted. If you need a winch to go backward it means a couple of things have gone wrong in my opinion. First, you are alone, as if there was a second truck with you it can be assumed that if it's in front it already cleared the obstacle and is now a winch anchor or it's behind you and can...

Interesting thread and something I have thought a lot about over the years doing a few different gigs including a pro mechanic (Chrysler tech for most of those years) and as a result I have a lot of high end Snap on and similar tools as well as a few Craftsman hold outs. In my opinion it comes...

I picked up one of these needing some work last fall and am really enjoying setting it up for my needs. Having used a variety of rooftop tents over the years the Venturecraft is so much faster to set up and doesn't appear to suffer from the typical zipper/cover issues as the tent is part of the...

If the fuse is blowing then something is shorting to ground, I agree it could easily be at the trailer wiring. This is pretty basic so I would guess they haven't got their best tech on it. With the proper short detection tool (or the right DVOM) it's easy enough to energize the circuit and start...

Bullbar would be the generic term for a traditional style ARB bumper (full grill protection). Winch bar simply means the bar will accept a winch. In the case of the Titan the bar is a combo bar so it can be used without winch (cover plates go over the winch access top) or with. Marc

Alternatively it would make an excellent BBQ on wheels!:sombrero:

A couple quick questions? What brand locker is actually in the truck, how old is it and is this condition a sudden change or is this a problem that has been slowly getting worse? It's tough to help without a bit of basic info.:sunflower Marc

Wow, really a cool and potentially extremely practical combination. Nice work! Marc Driving a Jeep, but rather envious of this 40/80....:elkgrin:

I doubt you'll find a broken or damaged one. I've been running one for a while with no problems and as I understand it the load rating was as high as ARB could produce through either the maximum size steel or synthetic line under an operating actual through the pulley load. In other words, the...

You can fit the ARB bar for the 98-04 Tacoma. I've done it, but it does require the frame horns be modified just a bit. If you call ARB and ask for the tech department they'll give you the info you need on how it's done. As the 4runner was never exported to Aus they never built a bar...

I would agree that simple seems better and the older vehicles tend to be easier to repair. That said, mileage breeds inconsistency at which point it doesn't necessarily matter what it is your driving as anything can go wrong at any time, at least in my experience. My personal feeling is that...

Added some info, dropped the price a bit.. Marc

OK, probably had the price a little high so I dropped my asking to 6600.00 obo. I realize it's not a L'cruiser, but in North America parts are plentiful (out in the middle of the badlands and need a waterpump, find the local NAPA and you're set) and the size makes it possible to fit between...
