I've been thinking of doing a trip down to Alabama Hills this fall before they shut down highway 395. Or Highway 120. Does anyone have any tips on best time to go, how many days it takes to do properly, things to do etc.? I would be heading down from the SF Bay Area but we could easily meet...

Hey guys! Planning a trip next weekend up to two destinations I've wanted to hit for a while: Slick Rock Trail (the easy first part to the camping spot by the creek) and Coral Hollow. I am loosely following these as a guide...

I'm finding it a little hard to find good routes in my area (SF Bay Area) and join up with local members. The Downloadable routes section is great, but a lot of that stuff is across the country from me. The Regional West Coast section is great, but not a whole lot of activity in there and it's...

Hi guys. I recently bought this baja rack used. It's in great structural shape but has a few surface rust patches where the original powder coat is flaking off. I'd like to have the whole thing blasted and powder coated, but the local place I took my wheels to wants $250. This sounds like a lot...

I'll use this thread to document my slow build. My plan is to build an overland rig that I can still drive daily. Nothing too crazy but I want it baselined and capable while still being comfortable enough to get to work. Here's when I first bought the rig. 155k miles. Solid maintenance...

I have a new set of wheels and tires going on my '97 LC so I thought I'd put out a feeler for the stock wheels and tires. Wheels are in decent shape. One has some mild pitting but they're all round and good usable wheels. Tires are Michelin LTX with about 27k miles on them. Tons of tread...

Hi guys I recently took the OEM roof rack off my '97 Land Cruiser. For those of you who don't know, the factory racks are a very common spot for rust - even on our California rigs. Here's the pictures of the leftover nutserts in the roof: As you can see, there are no rust holes, but...

found a tent, thanks everyone!

Hi everyone. Figured it's about time to introduce myself. I've been driving 3rd gen 4runners for the past 6 years or so (with some light wheeling) and just bought my new to me '97 Land Cruiser. 154k miles. Tons of maintenance records. No lockers :( but otherwise in really great shape. I'd...
