Still for sale? I'm interested. Couple of questions. Can you email interior/canvas off photos to me? jlandon91 at gmail.com Where is the fuel filler neck? What do you see for fuel economy?

What's your expected time for the Arkansas portion? I will need to be at the venue early... If our times mesh up, I'd enjoy showing you what the TAT leaves out for this natural state. Same time frame, similar mileage, extra awesome.

I've yet to own either but I've traveled in both fairly extensively. The biggest complaint I have with FJC is the driver side cv needle bearing. You can find brass bushing replacements and its a fairly easy task with the proper tools. Atrac is awesome once you know how to drive with it. For...

Every once in a while I get one that doesn't want to go in regardless of my efforts. I walk away and come back later ... slides in first try.

I wouldn't worry about rear axle problems. Id worry about things like; Those are a royal pain to balance. I think fred Flintstones rock rollers weigh less. Front wheel bearings, tie rods, joints, etc become disposable. 4.56 will suck. Go 4.88 or 5.29 if possible. How hard it'll be to return to...

Check out the new Toyo RT tire. http://www.off-road.com/blog/2014/07/21/sneak-peek-new-toyo-tires-open-country-rt/

Looks like you need to jump on that engine combo you showed me.

I've had most animal strikes happen on one side or another instead of in the center. The last one was a good sized white tail on the passenger side. The head struck on the hoop, dented it pretty bad. Broke both antlers off and they cracked my windshield. Without the hoop and bumper I would've...

Bow waves do pretty sweet stuff, but the only JK I've seen át that depth had a snorkel.

Most factory offroad truck intakes are going to have more fording depth than the drivers are capable of, safely. That said... snorkels look cool, provide cleaner air, provide a feeling of safety and... did I mention they look cool? But I 100% disagree with your point about waterproofing other...

The last time I did one I also replaced the front pump seal, flexplate, torque converter bolts, rear main, and switched out my trail spare starter for a new one. It took 7 hours on a lift. Ive done it on a gravel floored shop, 13 hours. Mainly wasted removing and installing transmission. Had to...

It could be either or both. Valve cover leaks have a tendency to fake out people on first inspection. They leak down the back of block and appear to be a rear main. If they pulled an inspection plate than they are probably right.

Are you sure its not a valve cover leak flowing down the back of your block?

I'd like to know as well. Stuff happens, its a fact of life... But properly torqued and attached ball systems have always done me right. In fact... Have never had an issue out of the dozen or so trailer setups we have, but the first offroad trip I guided for had a lunette failure for 'no...

The problem is the pin holding the joint down. I would go with a 1 7/8" ball vs. the AG connection. Them to have a much great movement than a 2" or 2 5/16" while retaining strength enough to handle most loads you could safely apply with a 4Runner.

Sorry, I'm not following you... You have a removal ball mount that was welded into your receiver? Or you have a ball mount.converted to a tire carrier that's braced on the frame? As for that 'AG pin' shown above, there are multiple grades/sizes. The hitch ones I've used were rated at 11k, but I...

I was aiming to fit a 33x10.5 but these were 300$ cheaper for a tread pattern I like better... The frame is from a truggy I built. It used to sit on 38x14.5. I got out of the big tire scene and didn't touch the truggy for almost 3 years. Decided to do something with it and found the 4runner body...

New tires. I think they are a bit... large. Though, my inner child thinks it looks sexy... so they stay. (And the lady thinks they are obnoxious, so they'll never leave) :D

Great to know. I will start sourcing them through Toyota again then. Cost is about the same, one I drive 5 miles for and the other I drive 45 miles.

They are the same. 100%. I had one Toyota and one moog for two different rigs. The LBJs themselves were identical. Same markings, same boots, same everthing. Dangerous difference? The moogs come with bolts that are too short for safety. I source grade 8s locally and add a nut to the inside two...
