Snagged a real nice one-owner 17 Cement Pro, 40K miles. Actually I stole It lol. Awesome manager at a Toyota store in Arlington Tx. Gave me an amazing deal. I missed the 17 Barcelona Pro. I hope my buddy @ikarus is enjoying the power adder.

I wish they were all 6 lug for sure!! but the 16" wheels wouldn't fit over your brakes anyway, so those wouldn't work either way. :)

I still have my 80 but she's been sitting relaxing in the garage as I try to figure out what is wrong with her. Wish my Sequoia was 6 lug

FWIW - The extra coolant is probably to fill the rear HVAC unit and lines and the radiator core is thicker. I can't seem to find a good spec for the LC radiator core. The Sequoia 5.7 is 41 or 42mm core thickness that would add volume of coolant...

Ha. Yeah I get that regarding all the mods. Ours even self levels with the AHC. Would be nice if the Tundra did that. I’ve been told by multiple cruiser heads in my area the coolant valley plate will happen to my 570 100%. 203k miles. Guess I’m...

I stored my ARB jack horizontally for 5 years without issue. The Mojab jack has the shut off bleeder valve that locks. I am willing to see how it goes Horizontally since that worked on the ARB Jack. I missed the Horizontal vs Vertical part...

I did use my high lift on Saturday. Went out to the local glacier in my side by side and something felt a little off with the trailer. Subtle, but could feel something. Checked the tires and sure enough one wheel bearing was loose. Like really...

I think you're on a pretty good track to getting setup for what you're wanting to do. At $5 or $6k for just traction aids - pretty soon you're going to be better off to just sell the Sequoia and buy something else. I know it's smaller, but an...

Agreed. I modify all of mine to take a hitch pin. It won't stop the machine gun auto-ratchet but the handle won't land in the glass :D They come with a cotter pin but it's nice to be able to quickly/easily remove the handle and use it for other...

Oh yeah. I broke the windshield out of a old ex FedEx box truck we had many years ago changing a tire with a high lift. Let it go on the way down and the handle flew off about 20 feet in the air and came down right in the middle of the windshield...

A standard highlift jack is ~ 40:1 mechanical advantage. So lifting the same 4400lb limit of an ARB would take about 110 lbs of force on the bar. I have no idea what makes a 6k lb high lift different from a 7k lb version. I don't think they...

I have a few hydraulic bottle jacks, but I've never really considered using them for a trail jack. They're heavy, slow, leak oil if you put them in the wrong orientation, etc. They work good for very heavy lifting or bending stuff in a proper...

If I'm being honest most hydraulic style bottle jacks aren't particularly useful as they don't have enough stroke. The Powerbuilt has 7" of stroke travel. Safe Jack only has 5.25". That's a challenge when the 200-series stock has 10" of...

Okay - here's a video of what an ARB front differential sounds like when it freewheels like it would in 2hi on the highway. This has gear oil lightly coated on the gears - it was used in service and drained. I store my diffs in garbage bags in...

I had Detroit Tru-Trac's in both axles on my 88 IFS pickup when I bought it from my buddy. He had them installed with 4.56 gears when he went to 31" tires. He set it up for hunting and scouting but it was his daily driver as well. It was perfect...

I wonder if you could find one to test drive. I have only had truetracs in front diffs. Both were truetrac front and Detroit full lockers in the rear. That was a really good combo. I didn’t feel like the front was ever an issue. You couldn’t...

My Tundra is our adventure mobile. Mostly it's towing either travel trailer, boat, or side by side. Not a lot of offroad access for full sizers here. But it's pretty amazing for getting us everywhere we need to go reliably mile after mile. We're...

FWIW - that seems exceptionally expensive. There's usually no need to replace bearings. Especially in the front diff. But a bearing kit is around $250 per axle, so it shouldn't add that much. Swapping the bearings is almost an afterthought if...

Some specs of gulf region GRJ200 and UZJ200s had a factory electric winch assembly PN 38110-60291 but the mount wasn’t a separate part number. Google image search isn't helpful either.. not many examples of this. One that looks like it might work...

I have owned them. For me - they are the only type of limited slip I would put in an offroad vehicle or truck. They work really well as far as limited slip diffs go. They are not really on par with a full locker for more challenging terrain, but...

I looked quickly and couldn't find a picture of that part. It's been about 10 years since then. But it's pretty similar to what ARB and some others do - just a piece of 1/4" plate that ties in to a couple OEM frame mount points. The 4Runner has...

That's a very cool solution. Creative engineering! I built a hidden winch mount for my 5th gen 4R from scratch with no plans because it was new and there weren't aftermarket options yet. It has similar frame horns (probably lighter gauge metal?)...

Most obstacles don’t have bypasses. The only one I can think of is the soup bowl and the hard line there isn’t the main route - I’d call it more of a side obstacle. I generally took the easiest possible route on everything. definitely not like...

Probably more of an issue with the trailer brakes than the tow vehicle right? The trailer brakes should be stopping the trailer. Always better to have some reserve braking for emergencies though. Something I have found is that Toyota's OEM brake...

This is really interesting. I have towed my 10k dump trailer with the 700H a few times and had no issues at all. In fact I would say because of the rear suspension it is better in a way than my 2500 power wagon. I have also looked at old towing...
