Found a killer deal on a set of 37x12.5 Cooper STT Pros. Pulled the mud grapplers off after listening to them for 4 years. The Coopers are pretty impressive on and off road.

Picked up a companion for the cruiser a couple weeks ago and finally got to test it out. I was barely able to keep it at 70 on the interstate with stock gears and 37s, but it did better than I thought it would.

Do you still have the passenger side mirror and passenger side amber corner marker from the Toyota?

Mine has been doing this since I owned it almost 2 years. Once the motor is heat soaked and at low rpm with a slight load you can really notice it. Pulling away from a stop or coming back on the throttle after coasting mainly. I've searched here before and several people mentioned the timing...

Hit 200K today. @drowssap were you on I15? It was pretty nasty today.

I bought some thick wire for a fence latch that ended up being too thick/heavy for the latch. I used that to "unclog" my sunroof drains about two months ago. Turns out the new windshield I had installed was leaking. At least I know my sunroof drains aren't clogged. The wire is pretty thick, but...

I bought my cruiser in SoCal and drove it all the way to Utah. If your immediate plans are 35s and a 3" lift I'd say go for it. The Cajon Pass wasn't that bad with 33s. I bought 285/75s right after I got it and wish I would have gone bigger, but a lift wasn't in the books until now. I bought it...

Went to Little Sahara sand dunes in Utah. Went with 4 buddies and had a good time.

I had a 1990 FJ80 and it had the factory front, rear and center diff locks. Also came with the OEM Toyota winch and mini fridge in the center console. I got a good deal on it from someone on base who was transferring, but be prepared to pay a pretty penny for clean cruisers over there.

A 12ht would be cool though.

In Japan some Surf's (4runners) come with Recaro seats. Those may be easier to retrofit if you could find some and they're from a Toyota. Also, I drove the 80 from Cali to just north of SLC and back a couple days later. Have to do it again in a few days but I'll be staying there next time.

Does anyone know what comes standard in this one? Might help determine what the best jump from stock would be for certain regions.

Far from it. I'm trying to buy a house when I get to Utah. We'll see how it goes. I might just end up getting one of those tents that pops up on the roof of the LC. Wife probably won't go for it, but the kids might.

Also, today I was in Barstow and climbed what looked like a giant MX-style step-up from a distance. It turned out to just be a mild off road hill that flattened out half way up and continued up after it leveled off. Coming back down, I had it in low-range and put the gear selector in "L" from...

Would it be feasible in this situation to keep it in hi-range and then leave the shifter in "L"? I know it's probably not ideal typically as you would probably like to be in low-range, but for this one instance it might work for you. "L" in hi-range could be a good middle ground between "L"...
