    Regreasing Ball Joints

    Hmm, not sure what you are asking. soooo,,, If you've replaced all your ball joints with greasable ones that means that there are zerk fittings on each of them, so you'll need a grease gun. For many years I had been using marine grade lithium grease with great success. Another expensive option...

    Thats great that you got yourself a 4runner. After riding in my 96' LC my son-in-law traded in his 1 year old Cherokee,(which he had grown to hate) and got a new 4runner (trail edition) and he loves it. With just a 2" Old Man Emu suspension you'll be more than capable to travel 99% of all two...

    Trailer or No Trailer?

    Never even thought about it. Then again, I have a Pintle hook, not a ball hitch and most thieves wouldn't even know what a pintle hook is. For the most part we camp at sights that are remote and "high clearance 4wd accessible only". Occasionally we camp in developed campgrounds at NPs and...

    Here is just a couple of shots taken from our campsite... It's amazing how the different colors pop depending upon the time of day.. the last image was taken just outside of our campsite.

    Sorry, I need to vent..Jeep wave..

    The only snobs I've ever run into are usually in Hummers with 27"+ wheels with really short tires..

    Sorry, I need to vent..Jeep wave..

    Jeeps are everywhere here where I live, and I just don't get it, as very few of them ever see dirt two tracks. I had wranglers in my previous life, ( hence my given on line name, e-mail, utube, other forums, etc ) and quite frankly I thought the whole wavey thing was pretty stupid. I don't know...

    LX450 80 series build thread

    Food & Water

    In the cruiser we have an Engle MD 14 that we use as a dedicated freezer. It is powered with a dual agm battery system. In the trailer we have two Frontrunner 10.6 gallon, (2.6" x 21" x 50") tanks plumbed together for running tap water on our rear kitchen deck. Up front of the trailer we have...

    LX450 80 series build thread

    I have the OME 3" kit but have no idea which shocks will work well with it these days. My shocks are still good, but they do have over 60k miles on em, so I'm looking to replace them this winter... thanks

    Awnings

    Thanks,, I'm leaning toward the FR for the reasons you stated, "simple & constucted well" I think I'll order one tonight.. I've got 1 k to spend, and also need a new portable compressor and a new pocket camera to back up my dslr.. So I'll get a little better compressor and a little better...

    Awnings

    Please keep all of us posted up on that purchase. The frontrunner awning is renowned for world class quality and real world tested equipment, ( ie, Africa. ) and for only 70 more dollars... I'm hoping for your sake that the SB product does not live up to it's name. Good Luck..

    Awnings

    Hate to hi-jack, but I read all the posts with great interest until the lock talk. Wow, if you guys live in an area where you're having to be concerned about somebody actually stealing an awning from your vehicle, you must live in a really really rough neighborhood. 99% of all vehicle equipment...

    Viair

    I'm looking at the 300p or the 400p. I don't see much of a difference in performance stats on Viair's website. I'm leaning toward the 400p, but if the 300p isn't much different, then why waste money for the higher number? BTW, my nearly 10 year old cheapo Slime bit the dust.. It just wouldn't...

    Devils Kitchen

    Did you camp in Devils Kitchen? Elephant Hill is indeed one of my favorite roads. Going out the bottom thru Beef Basin is a great ride as well.. I miss it badly as we just spent 3 nights at Horsehoof last month... FYI everyone, they are not meadows, they are called grabens, and yes driving or...
