    4Runner 4th or 5th Gen question

    Thanks for this info, but I may be don't understand that they came with a center diff lock, do you have a pic of that car that shows a center diff lock option? I'm curious, I don't remember that. If this is the transfer case with the "N" Position, it shouldn't have or need a center diff lock...

    A, this is really taking shape, you do nice work! Love the CAD! (Cardboard Aided Design) that's my favorite tool. Dan.

    Land Cruiser/LX registry

    Give it time, there's a lot of "us" on here, it will populate. This is my favorite thread of the day! I like to see details, too, what you've done, how it works, what you'd do differently if you could, etc. Good Stuff! I'll make a post soon, I need to take some decent pictures, but in the...

    @A-Aron great looking build so far. Great looking family, too! Hope to see this thing out on the trails sometime. Dan.

    Overland Expo Sold!

    Some look at this as a further commercialization of the Overland hobby / lifestyle. Some say, you need to make it what it is for you. I'm firmly in the latter of these two categories, but I don't like to see it taken out of the hands of the passion-driven few (the Hanson's) that created this...

    • Axe & Shovel Recommendations

    I've had this shovel for about 3 years and really beat the crap out of it. It has a steel handle welded to the shovel and I can use it to break up chunks of dirt with extreme malice and it has no damage! Super reasonably priced too, I highly recommend it. This axe is a simple steel handled...

    Tundra questions?

    Low miles is not always a good thing. A lot of short trips are, in my opinion, worse than higher miles where long drives were common. I would rather buy a high-mile vehicle if I knew that it had been used on, say a long commute, as long as it had been taken care of and serviced regularly. Many...

    4Runner 4th or 5th Gen question

    Hi Steve, you ask a good question here, and I'd love to have a discussion with you that would really answer all your questions. I say that because I can answer the above questions, but of course you are smart and would probably have even more questions because of my answers! That said, I'll do...

    US West OverlandBound Westside LA Meetup

    Were you able to nail anything down? Several sources say 99% is due to the axle-end bolt of the track bar is loose. That's pretty incredible that if it's not completely tight it can cause that. That also means that regularly, this bolt will be severely over-tightened which could lead to...

    Tundra questions?

    '06 Tundra is a good year, the 2UZ V8 / 4.7L is a great engine, and is now known as the "Million Mile Motor" because there was a customer that drove one running oil rig parts for over 1,000,000 miles. This one was an '07, but the engine is essentially the same. If it's taken care of, that's not...

    US Rocky Mountain Overland Bound @ Winter 4X4 Jamboree in Hurricane, UT! - 01/17/2019

    Thanks for the recommendation, I have driven Hwy 91 many times and noticed that road and wanted to explore it. Sounds like a good distraction. I have Monday off as well so I am thinking of exploring BLM land around Valley Of Fire. >> Sorry for the hijack <<! Carry on... Dan

    US Rocky Mountain Overland Bound @ Winter 4X4 Jamboree in Hurricane, UT! - 01/17/2019

    Thanks again, I'd love to see your truck, I really like that gen Sequoia, it's right-sized! Have you been to this before? Does it get crowded, like Jeep Jambo EJS crowded? I really like the smaller venue stuff, it would be worth a trip up to meet people and see the local trails. I would...

    Anza Berrego trip

    We saw rock fire pits, but stuck to the rules. Just gives me a good reason to get one of those steel firepits. I've got a friend that's getting a plasma table and that's the first thing on his list of things to make! Dan

    US Rocky Mountain Overland Bound @ Winter 4X4 Jamboree in Hurricane, UT! - 01/17/2019

    Thanks A, I would probably be looking for something relatively close to the action, but I'm a little crowd-averse! Right on top of each other is not my style, a little travel is OK. Is there anything specific around Sand Hollow that is open-style camping or primitive camping? Dan.

    Anza Berrego trip

    Nice Pics! I was there between Christmas and New Years, perfect time to go. A bit windy but totally tolerable. I wasn't aware until too late that you can't do fires except in a steel firepit. Bummed about that but only a bit. Dan.
