Thanks Blackdawg. I baby it most of the time and I am never rough on it but I know its up there at the limits. Maybe I will check the salvage yards for a couple to rebuild and install some long-travel boots on. That is basically what screwed the one up now. The boot tore and a bunch of crap got in there and had it's way with it. It isn't horrible yet but likes to click some. Maybe I will pick the warranty ones up for spares too.

Yea look at Porsche 930 boots. What the LT boys do.

Looooovvvve it!!!

My double cab is 2wd but it would use tundra CV otherwise....my 4runner has stock width front end but with UCAs and I tore a boot with my sway bar removed. Replaced with OEM. Otherwise a 944 boot would work too.

I didn't destroy my whole CV though so I just got one of Tue OEM repack kits

1995 Toyota T100 4x4

I looked around for trucks for months and then remembered the old T100s. I found a great deal on mine in the Bay Area. Original owner, 147,000 miles for $4800! Turns out the owner still had the matching camper shell for another $150. I wish it was manual and had cruise but it's still a great truck. I use it everyday for work on the Navajo Reservation. It doesn't always the fastest on the highway but in 4x4 driving, it can't be beat. The 4x4 crawls through anything and the clearance is pretty good with stock (at least I think it's stock). It not quite as low profile and agile as the tacoma but I prefer the extra room since I'm living out the truck for 6 months. Not too much of a build up since I base camp most of the time and pull out boxes, stove, table and cooler. I built a shelf in the front of the bed to store boxes while in transit so I can still sleep in the back if I need to while fully loaded. I took the rocket box and basket off as I slimmed down the load but it didn't effect gas mileage. The motorcycle on the back noticeably affects fuel economy and power. I don't keep it on there too often.

I've done a lot of basic maintenance catch up (timing belt, new shocks, fluids, plugs, wires, filters, cv boot). I'd like to get a little bit bigger tires and maybe a small lift. Currently looking for a camper trailer (Scamp, Casita, Boler, etc.). The slide in pop ups are interesting as well (four wheel, etc.). Anyone have experience with these campers? I love this site and the inspiration it provides.

Thanks! I'm excited to start an overland buildup. The dog is my 6 month old Wirehaired Pointing Griffon, Boatswain, very similar to a GWP.
