  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

    Thank you Everything was working great on the new engine for the first 500 miles, and then it went to crap.

    The Rover has made it to Oregon. A lot has happened over the last 18 months, and not a lot with the Rover. We bought a house, and finally have some much needed room to work on vehicles. Now we just need to clean out the garage from all the remodeling we had to do. I should have the Rover back...

    Thank you. Mounting the compressor was pretty easy. Mine is mounted on the passenger side just behind the ABS box, and mounted to the wheel well. There are 2 holes in the wheel well that match the spacing on the base plate of the compressor perfectly. You can loosen the 2 socket head cap screws...

    Nice to see someone in the area too. We're in Eugene for now, but most likely moving around the end of the year. My wife works in town, and my new employment will be a couple miles before Roseburg. We're thinking about getting down to the Cottage Grove area, but we still need to do some...

    Sorry for letting this thread hang for so long. After a 5 week cross country trip we settled in Eugene about a month ago, and things are going good. Now onto the Rover! The Rover has been sitting at my inlaws since we left in July. My father inlaw, and brother inlaw have slowly starting poking...

    I love Falken tires, and will most likely once own Falkens in the future. That being said, these tires are going to offer a firmer ride than others since they are a Load E tire. The Falkens that I had before these were a Load D, and rode quite a bit smoother. All in all I would recommend them to...

    After a long couple weeks we've starting to get settled into our new location. That also gave me a little time to get some of our pictures uploaded to share. Here's a brief look at some of the things that we were able to see along the way. There were a couple days that we didn't take on any...

    Over the last week we've done an overhaul on the 4runner. We started with cleaning up, and painting the entire frame including the gas tank skid. Next we paint the old 4xInnovations front bumper at the same time we painted the new 4xInnovations rear bumper. We'll we worked on the bumpers I...

    So, things have changed again. On Friday we'll be starting our 4 week adventure to Oregon. We need to be in the Eugene area by the August 15th to find somewhere to live by the 20th, and start work on the 21st. I'll have some vehicle updates a little later.

    We had quite a bit delivered yesterday, and now have even more to get done. I should have the bearings for the rear shafts tomorrow, and will drop those off on Saturday to get pressed in. I'm hoping to have them back on Monday, and if that's the case I'll also get the rear brakes installed...

    MStudt's 01 SR5 4runner

    Today I was able to get rear end prepped for the new bumper. Getting the old bumper off was pretty easy with the exception of one bolt. I was also able to clean up the frame, and get it painted. In addition to that I was able to address the leaking rear axle, and get the driver side pulled...

    The platform is 72" in length, and weighs about 110lbs empty. The rear drawers are both 34" in length, and pull out 28". The front has two flip up lids, two small side boxes, and two 1 gallon Rotopax under the front lip. Today I'll be moving onto removing the rear bumper, and getting to work on...

    Looks like I'll be starting over right here due to Photobucket issues. With the recent events, and deciding to take the 4runner on our upcoming adventure we decided to update it some. First thing was building a new platform to allow for more storage space. Metal Framing Finished Platform

    The metal frame is complete, and painted. This ended up taking a bit longer than I had hoped, and that was do to running out of wire for my welder. As of now the welding is completed, but the wood portion will have to wait. The 4runner is now loaded up with our load to clear out the house. Come...

    Day 2 is complete, and I still haven't had a full day of work yet. I wasn't able to start today until about 12:30 do to having to move a little this morning, and I called it a day at 8 pm. Tomorrow will be my first full day of work since today's full day was a bust, and I plan on starting around...

    I got done what I thought I would today, but I was still hoping to be further along. I only had about 3 hours to spend on the platform today, and plan on being at it around 6 am tomorrow. I'm hoping to finish off the metal frame tomorrow, and hopefully I'll be able to get started on the wood...
